Jerry Jones accuses Giants of faking injuries
By Josh Sanchez
The Dallas Cowboys walked away from AT&T Stadium on Sunday Night Football with a win over the division rival New York Giants, but that didn’t stop owner Jerry Jones from being unhappy about some of the action that was going on during the game.
Jones firmly believes that the Giants were faking injuries in order to slow down the game.
“I thought us experts on football were the only ones who could see that,” Jones said, via Todd Archer of ESPNDallas.com. “No, it was so obvious it was funny. It wasn’t humorous because we really wanted the advantage and knew we could get it if we could get the ball snapped.”
Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who was injured just before halftime, also seemed to think that something suspicious was going on when the Giants were going down.
“I thought we got them moving a lot and got them pretty tired during that stretch,” Romo said. “They obviously had a bunch of injuries in that stretch. Tough break, I know. Seemed to come back pretty good after that though.”
If the Giants were faking injuries, then the lead needs to take a good, long hard took at the tape and make sure that appropriate fines are handed out.
