Through the first 10 games, the Cowboys have defied expectations. A team many predicted would finish with a losing record and one that owner Jerry Jones was hesitant to hype before the season stands at 7-3.
The defense has been better than anticipated, and the offense has developed a potent running game that was absent in the past. Along the way, the Cowboys have defeated defending Super Bowl champion Seattle and crushed perennial NFC contender New Orleans. In four road games, they’ve gone undefeated.
Surprised?
“I’m elated,” Jones said.
The Cowboys, though, aren’t ready to declare that they’re contenders.
“We all know we have done nothing,” receiver Dez Bryant said. “Seven-and-three is cool, but it doesn’t win you no championship. So it’s nothing to be excited about.”
