Jerry Jones and the Cowboys Celebrate Victory over Washington Commanders

Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, exuded enthusiasm as he addressed reporters following his team’s 37-20 triumph over the Washington Commanders. The veteran NFL team owner had a spirited message to share.

“Nothing more dangerous than an old man with money,” Jones remarked, as reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “That’s my quote of the day.”

Jones’ statement comes as a reflection on what he might accomplish in the absence of an NFL salary cap, harkening back to the Cowboys’ era of dominance with three Super Bowl titles in four years. The exact possibilities remain speculative, but the ambition is evident.

The Cowboys rebounded well following a subpar showing against the New York Giants in Week 1. In this game, quarterback Dak Prescott excelled with four touchdown passes, surpassing Tony Romo to become the franchise leader in touchdown passes. Prescott has accrued 249 touchdowns over 11 seasons, edging out Romo by one.

Jones candidly admitted that starting the season 0-2 would have been challenging for him to address with the media.

“I really was worried about what it was going to be like if we did end up 0-2,” he discussed, referencing the team’s website. “I can’t say that I was a color of strength in my mentality coming into the game. I have great respect for the Washington Commanders’ coaching staff.”

This victory was strategically significant. It recognized the efforts of the players, coaches, and particularly Brian Schottenheimer. Jerry Jones expressed pride in their performance.

Next, the Cowboys will travel to Brazil for a Week 3 contest against the Baltimore Ravens.

While the Cowboys might not yet be at the stellar levels of the 1990s, the current energized state within the team’s administration is noticeable and beneficial for all involved, from coaches to players.
