Jerry Jones' Dallas Cowboys suffered their third loss of the season in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. The Brian Schottenheimer-led Cowboys had no answer for a Panthers offense spearheaded by former Cowboy Rico Dowdle.
Jerry Jones didn't meet with the media after the loss, and Cowboys legend Dez Bryant gave his two cents. Bryant took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote:
"Somebody a** getting fired!"•

Bryant knows the Dallas Cowboys well, as he spent the first eight years of his professional football career playing for Jerry Jones' side. He achieved legendary status for America's team as he broke numerous franchise records in his stint.
What's next for Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys?
Jerry Jones opted not to speak to the media after he witnessed his side lose to the Panthers on Sunday. The billionaire owner has now witnessed his side suffer three losses and a tie in the ongoing campaign.
The result might have stung even more, considering that it was one of his former players who did the most damage. Rico Dowdle was in imperious form as he went over 200 yards from scrimmage for the second consecutive week. Remember, Jones let Dowdle walk after the 2024 campaign.
The Cowboys are now 2-3-1, and their playoff hopes are potentially hanging by a thread. They'll need to improve their rush defense, and get more clinical on offense.
Next up for Jerry Jones' side is a matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Commanders are 3-2 for the season and are one of the NFC's most dangerous teams. Plus, they're coached by former Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, a coach who knows Jones very well.
The Dallas Cowboys' next game will be at home, and their billionaire owner will hope that the franchise makes the most of home advantage. They remain unbeaten at home after defeating the New York Giants in Week 2 and tying the Green Bay Packers in Week 4.
