The Dallas Cowboys’ seven wins this season have included two on field goals in overtime, one by two points, and a one-point victory over the Dolphins on Thanksgiving. All those nail-biters have Cowboys owner Jerry Jones a little nervous.

So Jones is making it known that he’d like to see his coach come up with a game plan that makes it a little bit easier. According to the Dallas Morning News, Jones isn’t satisfied with close victories and says he needs bigger wins.

“I’m telling you, this Jason Garrett,” Jones said, via the team’s official web site. “I like the plans where we get out there and get 30-point wins. I’m going to talk to him about that. We need bigger wins.”

It’s probably safe to say that Jones will actually be happy with any win as the Cowboys compete for a playoff berth over the final five weeks of the season. But after beating the Bills 44-7 two weeks ago, the Cowboys have had a couple of squeakers, which for Jones have been too close for comfort.
