Jerry Jones explains why Cowboys didn’t pursue Derrick Henry
The Dallas Cowboys fell at home for the second consecutive week. The Baltimore Ravens came into AT&T Stadium and raced out to an early lead before holding off a late push from the Cowboys to earn a 28-25 win.
Once again, a glaring weakness for the Cowboys was the weak and inconsistent running game.
The Dallas backfield finished the game with just 51 yards and one touchdown on 16 carries, averaging 3.2 yards per carry.

The Ravens, meanwhile, rushed for 274 yards and three touchdowns, averaging 6.1 yards per carry. Baltimore’s backfield was led by Derrick Henry with 151 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries.
Baltimore signed Henry, who lives in Dallas, as a free agent this offseason.
It was a harsh reminder to Cowboys fans that they could have had a back like Henry leading the way if the front office would’ve been aggressive. After the game, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones was asked about the team’s decision not to pursue a high-profile free agent at the position and he had a simple answer: the team couldn’t afford him.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked about upgrading the roster, he said he doesn’t think that’s an issue. “I like our personnel.”

Henry signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Ravens.
It’s frustrating to see the lack of moves made by the team in the offseason at an obvious position of need and even more frustrating to see the front office refuse to acknowledge the roster’s weakness.
Without a consistent running game, more pressure falls on the shoulder of Dak Prescott to carry the offense.
That’s what he was paid the big bucks to do, but a little bit of help would be nice.
Up next for the Cowboys is a quick turnaround and trip to the Tri-State area. Dallas will return to action on Thursday, September 26, to take on the division rival New York Giants on Thursday Night Football on Prime Video.

DALLAS – Dallas police need a name for a dangerous robber who pulled a gun on a 7-Eleven clerk and walked out with the cash register drawer.
He was caught on camera. But it’s been six months, and he’s still at large.
7-Eleven Robberies
What we know:
The robbery in question happened on Jan. 13 around 10:30 p.m. at the store at 302 North Marsalis Avenue.
A Black male who is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 170 to 180 pounds walked in and waited until no other customers were inside.
“After it’s empty, he displays a handgun and points it at the cashier,” said Det. Eduardo Lopez Villa. “I don’t know what he said. He just demanded the cash from the cash register.”
Det. Villa said the suspect took the whole cash register drawer before fleeing eastbound on foot on 8th Street.
What you can do:
The detective believes anyone who knows the suspect will be able to recognize him.
“Yes, most definitely based on the video and the screenshot. If you know him, you’ll recognize him,” he said.
Tipsters can call or text Det. Villa at 469-755-8445.
“I need his information so I can talk to him about this incident,” he said.
