The Cowboys are currently one game behind the Lions and Bears in the NFC wild card race, but Jerry Jones doesn’t want to hear about that.

Jones said after the Cowboys’ win over the Bills on Sunday that the focus is solely on catching the Giants in the NFC East.

“It’s very early and I wouldn’t dare to venture what can happen,” Jones told the Dallas Morning News. “I will say this. We’re going to need to win the division, I think, to get in the playoffs.”

At 6-3, the Giants are a game ahead of the 5-4 Cowboys. The teams’ two late-season meetings, on December 11 and January 1, will probably determine who wins the NFC East. And Jones is right: They should be focused on winning those games and winning their division, and not counting on a wild card berth.
