It took longer than he would have liked -- he's been one game shy since Sept. 20 -- but Sunday's victory allowed Jason Garrett to tie Jimmy Johnson for second most victories by a coach in Cowboys history.
"I don't really focus too much on that,'' Garrett said.
Johnson's final record with the Cowboys was 44-36.
Garrett is 44-38 and counting.
"I give Jason a ton of credit,'' executive vice president Stephen Jones said. "Nobody likes to point fingers when things go bad, but I challenge anyone to say this team hasn't played hard every step of the way. I know we lost seven games, but I challenge anybody to go put the tape on and see where guys aren't playing their ass off.
"I give Jason a ton of credit. He's kept this team together, he's kept them focused. We'll be ready to go fight when it comes time to go play the Panthers."
