Jerry Jones Fined

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was fined $250,000 for an obscene gesture during the Cowboys–Jets game.
Jones says the gesture was accidental, a thumbs-up to Cowboys fans, not Jets fans.
The incident came late in the 37-22 win after Prescott's fourth touchdown pass.
He plans to appeal, with a decision expected by Friday.
