Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones is being fined $250,000 by the NFL for his "inadvertent" obscene gesture toward fans at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Videos on social media showed Jones quickly flashing his middle finger late in the Cowboys' 37-22 victory over the New York Jets -- after Dak Prescott's fourth touchdown pass increased the lead to 37-14.
"That's why I'm trying not to show all my emotions," Schottenheimer said. "You're going to see me skipping down the hall. I might even call the guys up and be like, 'Hey, guess who I just hung out with? He came to see me?' No, like I said, I'm a football junkie, and [he's] one of the best all time, man."
Dallas are riding the high of an overtime thriller against the New York Giants. In a game filled with momentum swings, Dak Prescott led the Cowboys back from a half-time deficit before a clutch field goal sealed a 40-37 victory. Chicago, meanwhile, is searching for answers after being dismantled 52-21 by the Detroit Lions. The Bears' new era under Ben Johnson has stumbled out of the gate, and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is already under the microscope after a rocky introduction to NFL life.
It's why Fowler's reps diminished at the business end of the campaign and into the playoffs. Although Fowler's 10.5 sacks and 44 pressures were encouraging, his ability against the run leaves a lot to be desired. His 50.0 run defense grade from Pro Football Focus ranked 169th out of 210 qualifying edge defenders. The No.3 overall selection became a liability, and the Commanders couldn't trust him to provide the production needed.
FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys have signed running back Hunter Luepke to a two-year extension worth up to $7.5 million, a source told ESPN. The deal, according to the source, includes a little more than $5 million guaranteed. Luepke is the third Cowboy to sign an extension since the start of training camp, joining tight end Jake Ferguson (four years, $52 million) and cornerback DaRon Bland (four years, $92 million) -- and he might not be the last.
