FRISCO, Texas — Jerry Jones needed no prompting.
The Dallas Cowboys team owner and general manager wasn’t initially asked about a potential quarterback controversy should Cooper Rush keep winning like he did Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. He also hadn’t yet been asked about franchise quarterback Dak Prescott’s return from a thumb fracture in his throwing hand. In fact, he wasn’t even scheduled to meet Thursday with media.
But Jones stopped for a conversation in the hallway of team headquarters. Soon, on his own accord, he brought up the Cowboys’ 2016 season, when Prescott took over for an injured Tony Romo and never relinquished the starting quarterback job.
