Jerry Jones Flips Off Jets Fans During Cowboys Win as NFL Review Looms

The NFL has precedent for penalizing obscene gestures, including a $250,000 fine to owner Bud Adams.

Overview

  • Video from MetLife Stadium showed the Dallas Cowboys owner flashing his middle finger toward Jets fans during the October 5 game.
  • Clips spread quickly on social media, and multiple outlets reported that the league is expected to examine the incident for potential discipline.
  • Recent and historical precedents include Bud Adams’ $250,000 penalty in 2009 and a $14,491 fine to Travis Kelce for an obscene gesture last month.
  • No formal action from the NFL or the Cowboys had been announced as of the latest reporting.
  • The moment diverted attention from Dallas’ 37–22 victory, in which Dak Prescott threw four touchdowns to cap a dominant performance.
