The Dallas Cowboys suffered another embarrassing loss during their Thanksgiving Day clash against the Buffalo Bills. With the pressure already on head coach Jason Garrett, it was a loss that many believed the coaching staff could not afford.
However, the team struggled to get anything going and was taken to the woodshed by the Bills.
Despite that, the Cowboys remain the top team in the NFC East and would be in the NFL Playoffs if the postseason began today which is good for the fans.
What they may not like, however, is that owner Jerry Jones is remaining committed to Garrett… for now.
After the ugly loss, Jones spoke to reporters as he always tends to do and made it clear that the 6-6 Cowboys are not going to hit the panic button. While some may believe that the right move would be to move on from their head coach as soon as possible, Jones has said that he will not fire Garrett before the end of the season.
Jerry Jones is emotional while talking to reporters. Tears in his eyes. “I’m not going to make a coaching change.” Jones said he still believes this team can make a deep playoff run. He said they have zero chance of doing that without Jason Garrett

But while Jason Garrett appears to be safe for the next few weeks, many believe he will be ousted during the offseason or shortly after the Cowboys’ season comes to an end — especially if the team fails to reach the postseason.
