The Dallas Cowboys are coming off of their biggest win of the 2025-26 NFL regular season, with a dominant 37-22 win over the New York Jets in the books.

While the team should be celebrating the impressive win, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones continues to be stuck in the past.

Following the game, Jones spoke to the media and had high praise for James Houston, who is leading the team in sacks, after signing during the offseason.

However, instead of simply praising Houston, he decided to take one more shot at former star pass rusher Micah Parsons.

Jones has consistently criticized Parsons' skillset against the run, and was back at it again following Sunday's game.

“It just shows you that he’s got those kinds of skills. We know that he needs to work on the run," Jones said, via Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

"Guess what? We had a pass rusher around here, the way to box him in was to run at him, but he could really rush the passer. This guy really is rushing the passer beyond my expectation.”

Houston has recorded 3.5 sacks through the first five games of the season, while Parsons has recorded 2.5. While the Parsons trade was a difficult pill to swallow before the start of the season, it's great to see that the pass rush is finally improving.
