Mavs.com Live: DeAndre Jordan Mavs center DeAndre Jordan joins Chuck Cooperstein and Mark Followill on our Mavs.com Live Media Day stream!

DALLAS – Dallas Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan started his post-practice interview session with the media Wednesday by lamenting the Dallas Cowboys’ 19-16 overtime loss to the Houston Texans this past Sunday night.

“That was a tough fought loss Sunday, but we’ll be OK,” Jordan said. “Also, I want to give a shout-out to Texas A&M for winning a big game.

“They took down a tough opponent in Kentucky (20-14 in overtime), and I’m looking forward to more wins from both of those teams.”

Jordan grew up in Houston as a big-time Cowboys fan and played the 2007-’08 season with Texas A&M before leaving and becoming the 35th overall pick of the 2008 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers..

Meanwhile, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett created some controversy when he ordered his team to punt the ball in overtime with the game tied at 16-16 while the Cowboys were facing a fourth-and-1 from the Texans’ 42-yard line. Following the ensuing punt by the Cowboys, Ka’imi Fairbairn booted a 36-yard field goal to win the game for the Texans.

When asked if he would have tried to pick up the first down instead of punting in that situation, Jordan said: “I’m a player, not a coach.”

The Cowboys (2-3) host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday and Jordan already knows who will come out on top in that game.

“The Cowboys, we’ll redeem ourselves on Sunday,” Jordan said. “It’s a win.

“We’re undefeated at home, so we’ve just got to keep that going and also mix in some road wins, too.”
