It's safe to say both teams have their backs up against the wall now. The Jaguars, favored by many in the preseason to go to the Super Bowl, are a perplexing 2-6. Injuries have battered the front line, leaving defenses free to batter Brunell. That's the thing that discourages me the most, that we are literally giving the games away because of errors. That 1997 win over the Jags helped the Cowboys avoid their first three-game losing streak since 1990.
Similar skids are commonplace now.
The Cowboys have lost three in a row only once, late in 1998, but lost four out of five to end the first half of the 1999 season and lost three out of four to open the 2000 season. He threw five interceptions in a 19-14 loss to the Giants in Week 7. I've never had a day with five interceptions. I take full responsibility for this loss. Aikman is sure to be in the spotlight this week.
