👏 Cowboys’ Jerry Jones Takes A Well-Earned Bow

Jones is on a streak of pretty nice calls ahead of Sunday’s game against Washington. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: Jerry Jones' decision to ride with Cooper Rush is the latest of multiple good calls from the Cowboys owner and GM … Breaking down the top storylines in Week 5 of the college football season … and more! Jerry Jones once made a very Jerry Jones-centric comment. It was about a decade ago and it amounted to something like this: a frank admission that there have been times when Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, probably should have fired Jerry Jones, general manager of the Dallas Cowboys – over his performance. If he wasn’t, you know, himself. The concept was a little confusing back then and it hasn’t gotten much simpler, or any less humorous, since. It wasn’t even apparent which organizational hat Jones was wearing when he made the remark, and all it really did was confirm that when it comes to the Cowboys, it is indeed the world of Jerry, all the time. Fast-forward to now, and, as it always is when there are times of either excitement or uncertainty in Dallas – or both – Jones is at the front and center of the conversation. And in the frenetic hurry to lavish praise upon a man named Rush – Cooper Rush, undrafted quarterback extraordinaire and surprise antidote to what threatened to be a lost season for Dallas – Jones is unapologetically stirring the pot. Both the Joneses are. Not Jerry and his son Stephen, the team’s executive vice president. Owner Jerry and GM Jerry. Owner Jerry has gotten busy talking up the possibility of a previously unthinkable QB competition between Rush and injured $40 million man Dak Prescott. GM Jerry has used the Rush example as a subtle reminder that those old sneers about his football decisions haven’t been so applicable of late, and that he’s on a neat little streak of pretty nice calls.

[BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( Kansas City Chiefs at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Under 45 points scored combined Pick via FOX Sports NFL Writer Warren Sharp: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defense ranks No. 1 vs. the pass and No.2 overall. We know the Bucs have a strong run defense. They did last year and still do this year, ranking No. 10 in success rate allowed (33%) and No. 8 in YPC allowed (3.8). On the other side of the ball, the Chiefs, who long struggled to stop the run, currently are nearly identical to the Bucs defending early down RB-runs: No. 8 in YPC allowed (3.9) and No. 17 in success rate allowed (37%). Tampa Bay either needs more efficiency out of its ground game against a more stout run defense of the Chiefs, or it’ll need to return to the passing attack, which didn’t work out too well last week. Both of these defenses rank top-5 in percentage of opponent’s pass attempts gain 10+ yards, so they limit chunk gains through the air as well as any defenses in the NFL, thanks, in large part, to the fact that both play 2-high safeties at very high rates.
