Jerry Jones Honestly Addresses Perception That He is the Cowboys' Biggest Problem

The Dallas Cowboys are 1-2 to start the 2024 season, which isn't the end of the world in the big picture. But those two losses loom large because they were ugly. A 44-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 2 followed by a 28-25 loss to the Baltimore Ravens (both at home) has the fanbase up in arms.

In particular, Cowboys faithful have directed their ire at owner and GM Jerry Jones, who insisted all summer this was a Super Bowl roster and continues to insist as much through the opening stretch of the year. This Sunday was a particularly harsh loss for Jones, as his defense got ran over by Derrick Henry. The All-Pro running back was open about his desire to be a Cowboy over the offseason but Jones decreed he was too expensive and was forced to explain as much to media after Henry rushed for 151 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
