Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, displayed noticeable enthusiasm on Sunday after his team’s 37-20 victory against the Washington Commanders. He addressed the media with what he termed a “dangerous” message.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was notably present on the field before the Cowboys took on the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on September 13, 2026. He was quoted by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram as saying, “Nothing more dangerous than an old man with money.” He added that this was his “quote of the day.”
Jones’ comment sparked discussion about the extent he might go to if the NFL did not impose a salary cap, especially with aspirations of reliving the Cowboys’ past Super Bowl successes.
The Cowboys performed strongly following a lackluster game against the New York Giants in Week 1. Dak Prescott excelled with four touchdown passes, surpassing Tony Romo as the franchise’s touchdown pass leader. Prescott now holds 249 touchdowns in his 11-year career with the Cowboys, surpassing Romo by one.
Jones expressed relief, mentioning it would have been “hard” to face the media if the team had started the season 0-2. Jones shared, “I really was worried about what it was going to be like if we did end up 0-2, and I can’t say that I was a color of strength in my mentality coming into the game because I’ve got a lot of respect for the coaching on the Washington Commanders’ side.”
He emphasized the significance of the win for the entire team, including the coaching staff and Brian Schottenheimer, the offensive coordinator. Jones said he was “really proud” of the team’s effort.
Looking ahead, the Cowboys are set to face the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil on Sunday for a Week 3 matchup, aiming to continue their positive trajectory.
While questions remain about whether the Cowboys can replicate their 1990s successes, Jones’ renewed energy in the front office benefits the whole team, impacting everyone from the coaches to the players.
