Jerry Jones Declares: 'We’re Built to Win, And George Pickens Is Key to Our Future!'
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made a powerful declaration this week, sending a clear message to both fans and the NFL: the Cowboys are serious about their championship aspirations, and George Pickens is a cornerstone of that future. In a statement that immediately captured attention, Jones boldly declared, “I don’t care what anyone says—this team is built to win, and we’re not backing down. George Pickens has proven his worth, and we’ll make sure he knows how much he means to this organization.”

Pickens, who was acquired in a mid-season trade, has quickly proven himself to be an invaluable asset to the Cowboys' offense. After a few struggles early on, the wide receiver has shown his potential as a game-changer, helping to stretch the field and provide quarterback Dak Prescott with a reliable target. With a stellar performance in recent games, including a career-high 144-yard game against a tough defense, Pickens has displayed the explosive talent that had many teams vying for him in the trade market.
Jerry Jones’ comments underline just how much the Cowboys are counting on Pickens as they continue to build their roster around him. "We knew what we were getting when we brought him in. We believe in his skill set, and we’re excited about what he can contribute to our team,” Jones continued. "We’re not here just to compete, we’re here to win championships. And George is a key part of that future."
The Cowboys have had their fair share of ups and downs this season, but Jones is resolute in his belief that the team has what it takes to go all the way. His statement about Pickens is a reflection of the confidence the Cowboys' front office has in their current roster and their commitment to strengthening the team moving forward.
While many may still question the Cowboys' ability to break through and secure a title, Jones is unwavering in his support for Pickens and the overall vision of the franchise. As the trade deadline passed and the focus shifted to building the team for the long term, the acquisition of Pickens is seen as a pivotal moment in their pursuit of Super Bowl glory.
“We’ve got a great team, and we’ve got the pieces in place. The next step is executing and making sure we’re playing at our best when it matters most,” Jones stated confidently.
With Pickens continuing to develop into one of the league’s top wide receivers, it’s clear that Jones is not only looking to make a playoff run but is also preparing for sustained success in the future. If the Cowboys can stay healthy and find their rhythm, they may very well be a team to watch as the postseason approaches.
Serena Williams's Burgundy Blazer-Hoodie Hybrid Looks So Tennis-Ready With a Matching Skort
Typically, a celebrity's best style surfaces around Fashion Month, when they're dashing from one runway show to another. For Serena Williams, however, November is right up there on the fashion front. On November 17, the tennis legend's winning streak continued with a hooded burgundy blazer—her first (but presumably not last) suit of the month.
The exact occasion behind Williams's most recent outfit remains a mystery. But who says she needed a reason to serve a look on Instagram? The tennis legend blessed her 18.2 million followers' feeds in a burgundy skirt set. It began with a shoulder-padded blazer in a classic single-breasted silhouette. Though it wasn't your average suit jacket by any means. Each lapel stretched up into a hood, cloaking her platinum blonde hair.
Wide-leg trousers would've been her white button-down's expected partner. But Williams elevated a skort—her center court staple—instead. The thigh-grazing mini was a perfect shade match to her blazer. Matching shorts peeked out from beneath a subtle slit, as most of her tennis skorts do.
During a match, Williams would've coupled her skintight skort with chunky tennis shoes (possibly the Nike Zoom Vomero 5s). This time, she popped on pointy nude pumps.
Diamond hoop earrings peeked out from underneath the dressed-up hoodie. They appeared to feature a yellow gold finish, just like her elongated chain necklace. The sparkle of Williams's emerald-cut engagement ring, plus a matching pinky piece, were impossible to miss.
The hooded blazer felt surprisingly bold for Williams. Usually, she limits her headpieces to a complementary visor during her various grand slams. Even her sister, Venus Williams, has steered clear of evening-out hats of any sort. Both sisters prefer custom designer visors—see their 2025 US Open outfits, for proof. Extra points if crystals decorate each rim.
Now with Serena testing the limits of athleisure-esque headwear, perhaps Venus will follow her lead.
