Jerry Jones flips off Jets fans during Cowboys’ Week 5 win

The Dallas Cowboys blew out the New York Jets in their Week 5 meeting at MetLife Stadium.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took a victory lap during the resounding, 37-22 win despite being on the road.

A video shared by former Cowboys wide receiver showed Jones briefly raising a middle finger to the crowd on hand in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The 82-year-old owner did so with a smile on his face before pointing to the crowd.

‘Quit playing with Mr. Jerry Jones,’ Bryant’s post to X read, in part. ‘Go Cowboys.’

It wasn’t immediately clear what – if anything – prompted Jones’ gesture. The video showed many in the crowd looking back at Jones, with some waving and others holding their phones out to record him.

Jones did not speak about that moment after the game when he spoke to reporters for a few minutes.

The octogenarian did, however, praise his team for their ‘big victory’ over the Jets.

‘This was a great win for [the] team,’ Jones said. ‘Not a win for an individual, or four or five All-Pros. This was done with a lot of guys that wouldn’t have even been dressed or been out there today. There are several of them. So, my hat’s off [to them].’
