Jerry Jones turned 82 years old on Sunday. His birthday gift? An atrocious first half performance from his Dallas Cowboys against the Detroit Lions.
In what could have been a good chance for Dallas to measure its championship hopes against one of the NFC's most complete teams, the 'Boys got utterly dominated by the visiting side.
