As Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys try to salvage what’s left of a miserable 2024 season, things it sounds like things could get even worse for the polarizing NFL owner.
Jerry Jones’ Cowboys fell 34-6 to the rival Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, marking their fourth straight loss of the season. And with starting quarterback Dak Prescott expected to undergo season-ending surgery on his hamstring, it’s not a stretch to believe that Dallas will finish with a top-five pick in April.
For Jones, marketing the Cowboys brand and bringing them as much exposure as possible seemingly matters just as much as on-field results. But the business side of things could take another flow, with Eric Fisher of Front Office Sports explaining that the Cowboys (3-6) could be flexed out of several prime-time games after their Nov. 24 showdown with the Washington Commanders:
“After that, three of the Cowboys’ final five games are currently in key broadcast windows: a Dec. 9 MNF game against the Bengals, a Dec. 22 Sunday Night Football game against the Buccaneers, and a Dec. 29 national America’s Game of the Week slot at 4:25 p.m. ET on Fox against the Eagles.
All three of those games conceivably stand at risk for movement by the NFL in the league’s flex scheduling rules—particularly given that Cincinnati and Tampa Bay also have losing records, and Philadelphia could have a postseason slot locked up by then.”

Despite the awful on-field results in Dallas this year, one league source told Fisher that the league isn’t ready to wave the white flag on the Cowboys and their scheduled prime-time slots.

“They’re obviously having their troubles, but we haven’t given up on them,” the source told Fisher.
Jerry Jones Is The Reason For Cowboys Awful Season
Jones made the head-scratching decision to retain head coach Mike McCarthy despite a humiliating playoff loss at home to the Green Bay Packers. He said he would go “all-in” and didn’t add a single impact player via trade or free agency.
Derrick Henry had a desire to play for Dallas, but Jones claimed they weren’t able to afford him. He waited far too long to get his extensions done with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, causing unnecessary off-the-field distractions along the way.
