Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has reiterated his desire to see his side take more risks in matches.
The Cowboys gave up a 23-point lead to lose 37-36 to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, leaving Jones's side one win behind NFC East leaders the Philadelphia Eagles with just two games to play.
Quarterback Tony Romo threw two interceptions in the final quarter, including one after changing the call from a running play at the last second, but Jones was happy that he was showing aggression and taking risks.
"When it basically has to unfold for him out there, the defense gets out of their structure, we get out of our structure on pass routes. All of a sudden, you're into a little more sandlot-type football," Jones told 105.3 The Fan.
"In doing so, there's more risk that's involved. Make no mistake about it: With where we are with our personnel, we're going to have to take risks. I was for the aggressiveness we showed... and it can apply to many parts of the game.
"But in this particular case, aggressiveness was throwing the ball on our end of the field - throwing the ball in there close. Aggressiveness with Romo can mean not throw the ball but buy more time, which increases the chances of having a bad play."
The Cowboys face the Washington Redskins on Sunday before a potentially crucial season finale against the Eagles a week later.
