Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones lamented his lewd gesture toward fans as he watched his team dominate the New York Jets on the road Sunday afternoon.

Jones was seen in a video posted to social media, returning the middle finger to fans below him. The move sparked concerns over whether he could be fined for his action as other current and former owners around the league have been hit in the wallet for similar acts.

On Tuesday, Jones appeared in his usual spot on 105.3 The Fan and addressed the incident.

“It was unfortunate,” he said, via Athletics. “There was a swarm of Cowboys fans out front. It was right after we made our last touchdown. I put up the wrong hand show. The intention was the push.”

He had a lot to celebrate Sunday as the team won 37-22.

Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes in the victory – two of which went to tight end Jake Ferguson. He also found George Pickens and Javonte Williams once each.

“I think we’re spoiled,” Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer said of Prescott. “I think he’s one of the best players in the league. He’s definitely one of the best leaders and teammates I’ve ever been around. The guys believe in him and he’s playing with a ton of confidence right now.”

Prescott heard “MVP” chants from fans during the game.

“I saw it coming just based on the fact that this team knows how confident we are, what we’re capable of doing,” he said of the victory. “We knew it was important to get the taste of last week out of our mouths and minds.”
