Cowboys news: Jayron Kearse embraces the Mamba Mentality

Kobe Bryant coined a popular phrase many athletes believe in.

With the Cowboys leading 27-10 early in the fourth quarter, Kearse grabbed his first interception of the season and returned it 32 yards. A few minutes later, leading 30-10, it was fellow safety Malik Hooker matching serve with his first interception of 2023. On the very next drive by the Jets, it was First-Team All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs getting in on the action with — you guessed it — his first interception of the young season.

Mamba mentality, indeed.

“[Our offense] takes care of the ball,” Kearse explained.
