Cowboys' Bennett was screaming in locker room after Thanksgiving loss

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Michael Bennett was emotional and could be heard screaming inside the team's locker room after a 26-15 home loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving Day, according to Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.

The recently acquired Bennett was delivering a motivational message to his new teammates.

"Because it's important that we understand that it's a small window that we have," he said about his locker-room speech, according to Gehlken. "We've got all the great players. The only thing we've got to do is execute in adversity. The enemy against greatness is the unwillingness to change. We've got to be able to change some of the things that we've been doing to demand more from ourselves and become the people we want to be.

"The champions are the people that get remembered," he added. "They don't remember who got the biggest contract."

Quarterback Dak Prescott reflected on Bennett's thoughts.

"Just an exchange of words about us sticking together. Anything and everything outside that locker room doesn’t matter. Simple as that," Prescott said, according to The Athletic's Jon Machota.

Moments later, franchise owner Jerry Jones made his way to the locker room before addressing the media. He backed head coach Jason Garrett after the team's third defeat in its past four tilts.

As the Cowboys trailed by three possessions late in the fourth quarter, several fans left the stadium with more than five minutes remaining on the clock.
