Jerry Jones displayed enthusiasm as he spoke to reporters after the Dallas Cowboys achieved a 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders. The billionaire owner of the NFL team issued a “dangerous” statement.
Nothing more dangerous than an old man with money.
This quote, shared with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reflected his spirited mood. Jones pondered what the team could achieve if the NFL lacked a salary cap, hinting at a possible return to their past glories.
The Cowboys showcased a strong performance following their initial stumble against the New York Giants in Week 1. Quarterback Dak Prescott’s four touchdown passes helped secure the win, and he surpassed Tony Romo as the franchise’s leading passer with 249 touchdown passes over 11 years, eclipsing Romo’s record by one.
Jones expressed relief as the Cowboys avoided a daunting 0-2 start. He admitted, via the team’s website, that the thought of such a start was troubling due to the respect he holds for the Washington Commanders’ coaching.
I really was worried about what it was going to be like if we did end up 0-2.
He praised the team’s performance, highlighting the importance of the win for both players and coaches, including Brian Schottenheimer.
Looking ahead, Dallas prepares to meet the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3. Although the team may not have reached the heights of the 1990s era, the renewed energy permeating from the front office benefits everyone involved.
