Jerry Jones Reacts to Cowboys’ Victory Over Washington Commanders

Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys’ owner, showed enthusiasm after the team’s 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders. Speaking to reporters, Jones issued a notable statement. He said, “Nothing more dangerous than an old man with money,” according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Jones’s remark prompted reflection on the NFL’s salary cap, sparking curiosity about the lengths he might go to revive the team’s past success, which included three Super Bowl titles in four years. Although the realities of the salary cap prevent that speculation from becoming reality, the win itself was a firm step forward for the Cowboys.

Following a lackluster opener against the New York Giants, the Cowboys rebounded. Dak Prescott shone with four touchdown passes, surpassing Tony Romo as the franchise leader with 249 touchdown passes over 11 seasons, one more than Romo achieved.

Jerry Jones admitted to concerns before the game, expressing relief with the win, stating, “I really was worried about what it was going to be like if we did end up 0-2,” as reported on the team’s website. He praised the players and coaching staff for their performance, acknowledging the significance of the victory for the team.

Dallas now prepares to face the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil for their upcoming Week 3 matchup. While the team might not be at the 1990s championship level yet, the renewed energy from the front office is seen as a positive influence on the organization, from the coaching staff to the players.
