The Dallas Cowboys endured quite a tumultuous 2017 NFL season, to say the least. It was then capped by watching their division-rival Philadelphia Eagles go on to win Super Bowl LII.

Needless to say, there has been some jealousy brewing in the Cowboys franchise. According to Clarence Hill of the Star-Telegram, team owner Jerry Jones admitted that the Eagles' victory in the Super Bowl has added even more pressure on Dallas to perform in the 2018 NFL season:

“I think it raises the bar. I think it puts pressure on the Cowboys,” Jones said. “They’ve took it down to the bone and brought it back up and have a world championship and we’ve been doing the same thing, where is ours? That’s fair. That’s fair.”

It goes without saying that the Cowboys had their fair share of issues to deal with throughout the season. Of course, it all began with the tug-of-war between Jones and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell over the lingering six-game suspension of running back Ezekiel Elliott. Things continued to spiral down from there as Dallas went on to miss the playoffs just a year after finishing as the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

Jones has acknowledged that their issues last season should not serve as an excuse for their lack of success. The Eagles also had plenty of obstacles to overcome en route to their first Super Bowl win in franchise history, most notably the injury to quarterback Carson Wentz. That said, it seems to be championship-or-bust once again for the Cowboys next season.
