Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had enough of his team’s capitulation to the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football.
The Bucs came into the game having been without starting quarterback Baker Mayfield and relying on the talents of rookie Jalon Daniels out of Kansas.
Miraculously, the Bucs defense was able to stymie the Cowboys offense and forced three turnovers en route to a 24-16 win.
The victory was sealed on Dallas’ final drive when quarterback Dak Prescott threw a perfect pass that bounced off the hands of tight end Jake Ferguson and straight into the air before falling into the arms of a Tampa Bay defensive player.
Enraged, Jones was seen slamming his hands on the table in front of him after the game was effectively ended.
With the result solidified, Prime Video cameras then caught Jones exiting the building before the clock had officially hit zeroes.

When Jones was later seen walking past the media, he did so without addressing anyone as he scratched his brow before entering the locker room.
Jones later told reporters he was ‘extraordinarily disappointed’ before adding: ‘We really do need to get it done… it was a tough loss for us.’
Thursday was a frustrating evening where nothing seemed to go right for the Cowboys’ offense – despite Prescott completing 24 passes for 316 yards and a touchdown.
Top target CeeDee Lamb was effectively isolated while he and Ferguson dropped three attempts apiece.
Prescott’s second pick of the night mirrored his first interception that bounced off the hands of KaVontae Turpin and into the air three times before being caught by Tampa Bay.
Meanwhile, Tampa Bay’s Bucky Irving ran for 165 yards and a touchdown as Daniels completed 19 passes for 189 yards and a score.
With the loss, the Cowboys now fall to 2-3 on the season having just won a single game at home in three contests.
