Part 5/8:
Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys faced off against the Washington Commanders, resulting in a disappointing loss for America's Team with a score of 23-19. A notable post-game discussion sparked from a revelation that Jerry Jones, the Cowboys' owner, saved $550,000 by not putting Cooper Rush in the game. The decision to bench Rush raised eyebrows and added more fuel to the fire regarding Jerry’s management style.
Jerry’s dismissal of knowledge concerning player incentives seemed contradictory, especially as the general manager responsible for contracts. Critics pointed to the inconsistency and potential mismanagement of funds, highlighting a clear disconnect between decisions made on the field and the financial implications understood at the executive level.
