Jerry Jones Has Strong Words For Maxx Crosby After Failed Cowboys Trade
Jerry Jones watched on as his Dallas Cowboys got back on track in Week 11, moving to 4-5-1 on the 2025 NFL season after a 33-16 win over Maxx Crosby and the Las Vegas Raiders on "Monday Night Football." Now, Jones and the Cowboys will head back to Arlington, Texas, where they will host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12, then the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving.
Crosby had a solid night against Dallas, sacking Dak Prescott and forcing a fumble. Jones also had some new help on the defensive side, as defensive tackle Quinnen Williams (1.5 sacks, five QB hits) and linebacker Logan Wilson (two tackles), both acquired at the trade deadline, made their Cowboys debuts.

While Jones may have landed a splash addition in Williams, a first-team All-Pro with the New York Jets, the Cowboys owner also tried to acquire other pass rushers at the deadline, including Crosby and Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson. However, both the Raiders and Bengals rejected Dallas’ offers.
Still, Jones liked what he saw from Crosby on "Monday Night Football," and on Tuesday, Jones noted that the former Eastern Michigan defensive end is a difference maker.
"That Crosby is a mess," Jones said on 105.3 the Fan. "There’s an outside guy that makes a difference.”
Ahead of the trade deadline, Jones also acknowledged discussions about potential deals for Crosby and Hendrickson, but talks between the teams never came close to an agreement.
"There hasn’t been anything close to a deal," Jones commented. "We’re looking at all phases of our roster... I don’t know if we will or not (make a trade)."
The Cowboys will host the Eagles at AT&T Stadium on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.
Colts CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon Drops Forceful National Statement After Fan’s Disrespect Toward Military Veteran Leads to Lifetime Ban
The Indianapolis Colts organization is making national headlines after CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon delivered a powerful and uncompromising public statement in response to an incident that left fans across the country stunned.
During a recent game at Lucas Oil Stadium, a female fan was recorded directing insulting, demeaning, and aggressive language toward a military veteran seated nearby. The confrontation quickly spread across social media, igniting outrage among NFL fans, servicemembers, and the broader public.
Within hours, the Colts launched a formal review — and Carlie Irsay-Gordon did not mince words.
“This behavior is un-American, disrespectful, and does not reflect the values of the Indianapolis Colts,”
The organization confirmed that the woman involved has been permanently banned from Lucas Oil Stadium and from all Colts-related events moving forward. Team officials described the decision as necessary to “protect the integrity, safety, and values of the franchise.”
For many fans, this response wasn’t just appropriate — it was the strongest and most decisive action they have seen from an NFL organization in recent memory.
Colts supporters filled social media with messages of support, praising Irsay-Gordon for defending the veteran community and refusing to excuse harmful behavior. One fan wrote,
The veteran involved has not spoken publicly, but witnesses say he remained calm throughout the confrontation, refusing to engage with the fan’s escalating insults. Several bystanders intervened before security escorted the woman from the stadium.
League officials have also acknowledged the incident, with one NFL spokesperson noting that the Colts handled the situation “swiftly and appropriately.”
This incident comes during a season in which the Colts have emphasized community engagement, fan respect, and veteran support. The team has partnered with multiple military organizations, hosted on-field recognitions, and provided game-day experiences for service members and their families.
For Irsay-Gordon, the message was clear: the Colts stand firmly with veterans — and there is no room for debate.
“Our stadium is a place of unity,” she said. “We will never allow hate, disrespect, or hostility to overshadow what football represents.”
In Indianapolis, the response has been overwhelmingly supportive — and across the NFL, many are calling it a moment that sets a new league-wide standard for accountability.
