“There’s nothing more dangerous than an old man with money”: Jerry Jones has a warning for the Cowboys
Jones knows the Cowboys bounced back in a big way after losing in Week 1 to the Giants
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had every reason to be pleased with the team's 37-20 victory, having stayed remarkably calm following the opening-week loss to the Giants by reminding everyone, "I've lost the first game (1993) and won the Super Bowl." Knowing that this campaign carries a strict Super Bowl or bust mandate per Dak Prescott’s own words, securing victories early is vital for the franchise's championship aspirations.
Following the final whistle against Washington, Jones approached reporters at his customary postgame tunnel spot and dropped a meticulously crafted line: "There is nothing more dangerous than an old man with money," Jones stated. "That is my quote for the day." ( See video below )
The provocative statement quintessential of the billionaire owner highlights an underlying urgency for the remainder of the year. With plenty of football left, Jones may look to orchestrate a mid-season trade to reinforce a roster that packs an explosive offensive punch but still requires defensive upgrades after enduring back-to-back difficult defensive campaigns.
An Historic Dak Prescott and a Brutal October Stretch
It was an excellent Sunday in Dallas with the Cowboys winning 37-20 against the Washington Commanders to avoid a dreaded 0-2 start to the season, as they now prepare to travel to Brazil for a high-profile matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday afternoon.
Getting the job done mattered most, regardless of style points, though the victory was influenced by Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels exiting the game due to an injury on the final play of the second half.
The defining takeaway from the contest belonged to Dak Prescott , who dazzled by throwing for 279 passing yards and four touchdown passes , bringing his career total to 249 passing scores and officially surpassing Tony Romo for the most passing touchdowns in franchise history .
Alongside his standing as the organization’s all-time leader in passing yards , Prescott can now stake a strong claim as the greatest regular-season quarterback in team history, though scrutiny remains high regarding his postseason resume given his 2-5 playoff record across 10 seasons.
Following their upcoming international trip to battle the Ravens, the Cowboys face a grueling October slate featuring a road test against the Houston Texans , a home clash against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football, and tough away dates in Green Bay and Philadelphia .
If Dallas navigates this upcoming five-game gauntlet with a positive record, they will undoubtedly cement their status among the elite contenders in the NFC .
