The Dallas Cowboys have been led by Jerry Jones for years.

Jones owns the Cowboys and serves as the team's general manager, helping build Dallas' roster in order to compete for a Super Bowl.

This year, the Cowboys have one of the most exciting offenses in the NFL. They're coming off a matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, having dominated on the way to a 33-16 victory in Las Vegas.

During the game, there was a bit of controversy on the Dallas sideline. Star wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were benched to start the game after missing curfew during the team's trip to Las Vegas.

Jones recently spoke on the incident, sharing his two cents.

"Yes, I do," Jones said in response to a question about whether he has a problem with his players partying before a game. "I don't have any problem with partying. But the idea is this is a business trip."
