Jerry Jones didn't hold back his thoughts on watching his Dallas Cowboys squad fall in a 24-16 upset to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home on Thursday night.

Jones has been the Cowboys' owner for decades, having achieved considerable success in the 1990s with Super Bowl wins. However, those peaks have been hard to come by in present day as Dallas has been absent from the playoffs for the last two seasons.

Dallas looks to be a fierce contender this season, boasting an explosive attack while retooling the defense. However, they now stand with a 2-3 record after losing to a Tampa Bay side that missed star quarterback Baker Mayfield due to injury.

Jones watched the game from his personal seat at the Cowboys' stadium and felt frustration as Dallas' late-game mistakes sealed their fate in the loss. Talking with reporters after the game, the longtime owner had a short but clear answer about his thoughts on the game.

“Extraordinarily disappointing,” Jones said, per reporter Jon Machota.
