Jerry Jones had nothing but praise for the Cowboys, specifically the defense, following the team's big win in Week 12.

"Yes, very much," Jones said after the game, via DallasCowboys.com. "This game tonight, this was our season… Boy, I'll tell you, when we got in this game tonight and I saw us making the kinds of mistakes we were making, then certainly that was a downtime. The players on the field didn't let it be a downtime, I'll tell you that."

"And that defense, I just can't say enough about it. They rose to the occasion. They're playing with each other, they're doing it for each other, which is what you have to do on defense. A lot of credit goes to our coaching."
