Cowboys news: Jerry Jones wonders if NFL officials should use more discretion on penalties

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones delicately criticized the officiating from Thursday.

[Jerry] Jones said he can’t fault the Raiders for the way their deep balls drew so many pass interference penalties, but he does think the NFL’s rules incentivize under-thrown passes to draw flags, and that the officials don’t need to throw a flag on every bit of ticky-tack contact.

“To their credit, I think [the Raiders] just did a real good job of getting their big plays, and a bunch of them were penalties in the throwing game,” Jones said, via the Star-Telegram.
