The loss by the Dallas Cowboys over the Philadelphia Eagles could be remembered through a viral moment when glare from the windows of AT&T Stadium caused an incomplete pass from Cooper Rush to CeeDee Lamb. Owner Jerry Jones denied the existence of the problem, going further to lash out at reporters and say that the stadium should be pulled down and that a new one should be constructed.
Jerry Jones appeared on the K&C Masterpiece on Friday morning before the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight at AT&T Stadium and his Cowboys’ Monday night game against the Houston Texans. Topics include the fight, his Cowboys, whether he’s a proponent of the idea that the NFL should play an 18-game schedule, and Jason Witten being an NFL head coach someday.
Jerry Jones stated that the NFL plans to increase business with Netflix
Jerry Jones’ stadium hosted the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson event streamed by Netflix on Friday night, ensuring no sun exposure for fighters. Jerry emphasized the NFL’s desire to increase business with Netflix, which will partner with the streaming giant for the first time on Christmas Day. “Worldwide coverage with Netflix,” Jones said. “We’re all being introduced to Netflix. We’re so excited in the NFL about Netflix becoming a huge part of our future. This tonight gives us a chance to go to forty, fifty million people and do it from right here.”
A similar but distinct deal could be done with Netflix, which could very well obtain rights bundles in the near future. It would focus on more international games, primarily staged in Europe. The NFL hopes to see more international games at 16 in the next five years. The American league’s regular season will comprise 18 games. This may be the best time for the million domestic viewers and possibly more around the globe for a Netflix package.

Fight fans were shocked by the call to draw the ‘curtain’ inside AT&T Stadium, especially in apparent contradiction to the claims Netflix wanted the opposite of the mega fight pitting Jake Paul against Mike Tyson. The decision runs contrary to the assertion by owner Jerry Jones that the stadium had been designed to counter sunlight issues that tend to blind his side during home games. According to Jones, Netflix was keen on letting the light in on Friday night, contrary to protests by his players.
