Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is one of the most iconic figures in NFL history. And although he’s helped guide his franchise to numerous Super Bowl championships, the Cowboys have been in a title drought since 1995.
Jones has said numerous times that he’s out of the business of declaring Super Bowl championships in the preseason. However, he did recently take time to issue a stern warning to the Philadelphia Eagles, and to a lesser extent, the New York Giants and Washington Commanders who share the NFC East with the Cowboys.
“I will say that Philadelphia, and if you will the Giants and Washington team, they need to be on their game because we are,” Jones told Clarence Hill of The Forst Worth Star-Telegram.
“We’re going to be on our game. And we will be improved over last year. I don’t want dismiss how accomplished Philadelphia is, the year they had last year and where they’re starting this year. I don’t want to dismiss that. And the Giants definitely have a chance to be better. And Washington could be really energized. So I don’t need to handicap it relative to where we’ll end up. Just us, we are better.”
Eagles fans will certainly take note of the statement considering their team is coming off a Super Bowl appearance while the Cowboys only won their first playoff game in three years against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Should make for another spicy year in the vaunted NFC East.
