Jerry Jones praises Pickens poetic performance | JQJO

Jerry Jones marveled at George Pickens’ Monday night showcase, calling the wideout’s nine catches for 144 yards and a touchdown “poetic,” like opera or ballet, as the Cowboys beat the Raiders 33-16. With Pickens in a contract year and free agency looming in March, Jones’ praise only boosts the receiver’s leverage, though the story notes his talk has outpaced action before. Both Pickens and CeeDee Lamb began the game on the sideline after Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer hinted at a benching for a missed meeting or practice, and Jones said he was proud of their response.
