Jerry Jones' 1-liner flex after the Cowboys' Week 2 win backfired so hard
Jerry Jones was feeling good after the Dallas Cowboys' Week 2 victory, but NFL fans wasted no time trolling his postgame quote.
The Dallas Cowboys experienced a significant turnaround in their inaugural game of 2026, defeating the Washington Commanders 37-20. Head coach Dak Prescott and the offensive unit delivered an impressive performance, accumulating 279 passing yards and throwing for four touchdowns. Owner Jerry Jones expressed his satisfaction with the victory, jokingly remarking, "There is nothing more dangerous than an old man with money."
The comment elicited a mix of reactions from the fanbase and the broader NFL community. While some Cowboys supporters found humor in the statement, others criticized Jones for lacking the financial resources to significantly strengthen the roster, citing his ownership since 1995. The comment stirred a debate about the team's roster improvements and whether additional moves, such as trades or signings, were necessary to address the team's weaknesses and compete for a Super Bowl.
