Dallas Cowboys: Did Stephen Jones hint at Roughing the Passer rule change?

The Dallas Cowboys were flagged on the third defensive play of the game against the Seattle Seahawks for a 2017 textbook tackle by defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford for a roughing the passer penalty that extended the Seahawks’ first drive.

Later in the game, the Cowboys were on the receiving end of the official’s generosity when a late push on quarterback Dak Prescott gifted Dallas 15 yards.

During the Fox broadcast, Joe Buck stated that Cowboys Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President and Director of Player Personnel, Stephen Jones, a member of the NFL Competition Committee, indicated that the Competition Committee will likely review the roughing the passer penalty.
