ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys raised more than $2 million during a 90-minute telethon broadcast live locally and on social media, with owner and general manager Jerry Jones making a $1 million donation to The Salvation Army's effort to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Wide receiver Dez Bryant was on the receiving end of Jones' phone call.

"Mr. Jones being Mr. Jones," Bryant said. "I think it was great. A real super cool thing, he donated a million dollars. That's a lot of money. It was great. It was so great to see these guys, us, teaming with Salvation Army to try to put that smile back on Houston's face.
