Jerry Jones: Cowboys are 'unequivocally' Super Bowl contenders

Jerry Jones is feeling confident following the Dallas Cowboys' 40-3 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

When asked Sunday if he believes his team is a Super Bowl contender, the Cowboys owner left no doubt.

"A resounding yes. Yes. Unequivocally," Jones said, according to Todd Archer of ESPN. "I think we've had adversity. We very easily could have more adversity ... Yes, I think if we use the experience of what we're having in the season, then we're going to be playoff ready. But I sure do think that what I see out here right now is the team like that you could go get a Super Bowl with."

The Cowboys improved to 7-3 on the season with Sunday's win and sit two games back of the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles. Next up for Dallas is a Thanksgiving Day matchup against the New York Giants.

"I, too, thought this game was going to tell us what we are," Jones said. "I don't know that we're that. I really don't. But I know this, that we're not a team that doesn't respond when it's wounded. Everybody thought against the (Green Bay) Packers that we underplayed, and I think you saw what happened when we got out here tonight, and the team all came together. We'll build from this."
