Cowboys Legend Deion Sanders Took A Cheeky Dig at Jerry Jones at Expense of Iconic Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: “Jerry Jones Will Fire And Cut Everybody”

Deion Sanders is very popular among Dallas Cowboys fans. His name has been constantly linked to the head coaching position of the Cowboys. It’s because of his great performances for the team and also due to the excellent work he has been doing for Jackson State. Back in 2012, Sanders took a cheeky dig at Jerry Jones.

Sanders knows about the competitive spirit of Jerry Jones. He wants his team to win every time, and when the going gets tough, Jones is ready to make tough decisions. That’s what happened in 2012. The Dallas Cowboys weren’t having their best of campaigns that season.

Heading into the Week 13 fixture against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Cowboys had a record of 5-6. Their chances of reaching the playoffs were diminishing, and they desperately needed to win against the Eagles. Such was the desperation for a win, Deion Sanders made a comment about the game.

He said, “If the Cowboys lose this game, Jerry Jones will fire and cut everybody but the Cheerleaders.” Sanders knew if the Cowboys lost to their division rivals, the Eagles, Jerry Jones would be furious, and it could lead to major decisions around the franchise.

Fortunately, the Dallas Cowboys were able to win that game. They won by a score of 38-33 and improved their record to 6-6. However, they weren’t able to reach the playoffs that season, as they ended up with a record of 8-8. They finished at 3rd place in the NFC East.

Things have changed a lot since then for Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys

During the 2012/2013 season, the Dallas Cowboys failed to make the playoffs. Since then, the team has gotten a lot better. Jerry Jones receives a fair share of credit for making the improvement in the roster.

Last season, the Dallas Cowboys won the NFC East. They will again head into the next season as the favorites to clinch their division and make the playoffs. However, their aim would be to make a deep run into the playoffs.

They lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Wildcard Game last season. It was a very disappointing end to a season for the Cowboys that showed a lot of promise. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys will hope to learn from that and make a run toward the Super Bowl in the upcoming season.
