The Story in 60 Seconds

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stated he was focused on tying rather than winning late against the Baltimore Ravens. Following a 34-31 loss in Rio de Janeiro, Jones explained on 105.3 The Fan that Dallas aimed to balance winning with preserving a tie before Brandon Aubrey kicked a 23-yard field goal with seven seconds remaining.
