The Dallas Cowboys lost control of their playoff hopes with their loss on Sunday to the Philadelphia Eagles and Jerry Jones said that made him a little numb. Jones said after the game that he thought the team played hard and it surprised him they weren't able to get the job done.

“I’m a little numb that we didn’t come up here and beat them,” Jones said, via Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com. “Our team played very hard. I’m just surprised we didn’t get the deal done.”

To make the playoffs now, the Cowboys need to win their game against the Washington Redskins and have the Eagles lose their game against the New York Giants. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott didn't throw for any touchdowns on Sunday and said he was disappointed the team doesn't control their own destiny.

“It’s frustrating,” Prescott said. “I’ve sat here after every game pretty much, win or loss, and said the good part about it is that we control our own destiny. But that’s gone. That’s out of our hands now. That’s unfortunate. It’s very disappointing. We had the chance. We had the chance to control our destiny and be where we wanted to be. But now that it’s out of our hands, we’ve got to control what we can control, and that’s getting a win next week.”

The Cowboys had goals of the Super Bowl before the season started and the way they are playing now, even if they make the playoffs it's going to be a short trip.
