ARLINGTON (105.3 THE FAN) — Jerry Jones admits to tearing up three times in his 25 years as owner of the Dallas Cowboys.

The first came in 1995, when the Cowboys lost to Deion Sanders and the 49ers in the NFC Championship game. The loss prevented Dallas from winning its third straight Super Bowl.

The second? He can’t recall.

The third. That’s something he’ll relive as the Texans come to Dallas this Sunday.

“The third time was the opening day loss to the Houston Texans — their first game ever down in Houston,” said Jones on 105.3 The Fan. “It was because we had such a base of fans. We’d go down there when they were the Oilers and half the stands would be Cowboys fans.”
