Things can change in a day or two.

Jerry Jones used the word "frustrated" many times after the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Green Bay Packers. Jones thinks the Cowboys are a Super Bowl contender.

"Yes." I agree. Jones said it was "unequivocally" I think we have had some challenges. We could have more challenges. We're going to be playoff ready if we use the experience we're having this year. I think the team that you could get a Super Bowl with is out here.

The Cowboys are two games behind the 9-1 Philadelphia Eagles in theNFC East, but they are also the only team in the conference with more wins than the Vikings. The Cowboys beat the Giants earlier in the season, but they will host the Giants on Thanksgiving for the first time in their rivalry.

Jones believed the game would tell him what he was. I'm not sure that we're that. I do not. We are not a team that doesn't respond when wounded. When we got out here tonight, the team came together and everybody thought we underplayed the Packers. From this, we will build.

The last time the Cowboys won a road game was in 1995 when they beat the Giants 35- 0. They would win the Superbowl. The Cowboys defeated the Eagles in Philadelphia in 1971 and went on to win the Super Bowl.

"This week was a statement week, and I had two of the Cowboys' seven sacks on Sunday," said the LB, who had two of the Cowboys' seven sacks on Sunday. When we put our mind to it, it says what we can do.

Tyron Smith will be back for the Cowboys in December. He was injured in training camp and had to have an operation.

Jones said that Beckham would visit with the Cowboys after the Giants game. Over the past few weeks, the Cowboys have been in contact with Beckham, who is recovering from a tornACL suffered in the Superbowl.

Jones didn't want to get into what he wanted to see from Beckham.

Jones said it was time for them to visit.

The Cowboys' victory against the Vikings was a great recruiting video.

It was the third best pass completion in team history by the quarterback. Tony Pollard was the first Cowboys running back to have 100 receiving yards and 50 rushing yards in the same game since Emmitt Smith in 1993. The last pair of Cowboys running backs with two touchdown in the same game was in 1980.

The Dallas defense had seven sacks, its most in a game since 2008, and ended the Vikings'PukiWikiPukiWiki, which had been the longest in the league.

It was a good week for us. Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said it's rewarding when your process lines up with your performance. We wanted to play a full game here. We did, that's right. We respected these guys very much. We knew we needed to play at a high level today, and we did.
