Kansas City Chiefs tight end Peyton Hendershot took a shot at his former team when discussing the difference between the two clubs at Super Bowl week.
Peyton Hendershot spent his first two NFL seasons with the Cowboys, signing out of Indiana in 2022. The defending Super Bowl champions acquired him via trade for a 2026 seventh-round pick last August.
After experiencing back-to-back disappointing playoff losses in Dallas, Hendershot has reached the distance in year one with the Chiefs. Now he’s one win away from achieving the ultimate dream.
Speaking to reporters during Super Bowl week, Peyton Hendershot discussed the difference of culture between Kansas City and Dallas. And let’s just say Hendershot’s explanation is a bad look for controversial Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, per R.J. Ochoa of Blogging the Boys:
“This is throwing no strays…but I just feel like when I came to Kansas City… my first experience in the NFL was the Cowboys so that’s all I knew… I just feel like here it is strictly football and winning. Nothing else but just football and winning. And I feel like with the Cowboys it’s a little bit more like…the public image. The extracurriculars that come with it, too. And here it’s just…let’s just win football.”

Peyton Hendershot said exactly what many people feel about Jerry Jones these days. The team hasn’t won a Super Bowl in 29 seasons, but it’s the most valuable sports franchise in the world, with Forbes valuing it at $10.1 billion.

Jones always talks about wanting to win a Super Bowl, but his work as the owner suggests otherwise. He kept former head coaches Jason Garrett and Mike McCarthy for a combined 15 years, during which time they won three playoff games.
He also refuses to remove himself as the GM, even though he clearly isn’t capable of building up a Super Bowl team.
Peyton Hendershot Is One Win Away From Glory
The 25-year-old Hendershot has appeared in seven games this season, catching five passes for 51 yards. He’s seen limited playing time in Kansas City, but is just one win away from winning football’s ultimate prize.
At the end of the day, you play to win the game. Hendershot got to play for the world’s most valuable franchise for two seasons, but now he’s in the Super Bowl. What a journey it’s been for an undrafted kid out of Indiana, indeed.
