Hall of Famer Terrell Owens is straight up calling New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston every single week, telling him exactly how it is as Winston leads his team to an early division lead. Owens revealed on his “Get TO the Point” podcast that he’s been hitting up Winston with texts and calls, making himself an “accountability voice.” He told Winston, “play like you’re supposed to play… I know that there’s greatness in him.” And honestly, with Winston under center, the Giants are looking pretty good right now.
Jameis Winston Steps Up, Giants Roll
Winston took over as the Giants’ starter in Week 2 after Jaxson Dart went down with a season-ending knee injury. Since then, the dude has been playing solid, leading New York to an early lead atop the NFC East standings. The Giants boast a 3-1-1 record overall, with an impressive 2-0-1 mark in Winston’s three starts. He’s completing 57.6 percent of his throws, racking up 805 yards and six touchdowns against only three interceptions this season. It’s an early statement from Winston, and clearly, T.O. believes in what he’s seeing, or at least what he *knows* Winston is capable of.
Cowboys Are “Definitely In Trouble” According to T.O.
Owens didn’t just stop at Winston, though; he also weighed in on the current mess with his old team, the Dallas Cowboys. And his take is brutal: “Yeah, they are definitely in trouble,” he said. You can’t argue with him when you look at the facts. The Cowboys are sitting at a disappointing 2-3 through their first five games. Even worse? They just got handed a 24-16 loss by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team that rolled into that matchup with a goose egg, an 0-4 record! To add insult to injury, the Buccaneers’ quarterback, Jalon Daniels, is an undrafted rookie, and that game was only his second career start. T.O. isn’t holding back, calling it “one embarrassing loss after another embarrassing loss,” especially with all the playmakers the Cowboys supposedly have at receiver.
Dallas is straight up struggling on defense, ranking No. 31 across the league by giving up 395.4 total yards per game. It’s tough to watch because Dak Prescott has been efficient, throwing for 1,381 yards and nine touchdowns with only three picks. But when your defense is getting gashed like that, it doesn’t matter how well your quarterback plays. The Cowboys are inconsistent, and it’s costing them big time.
With the Giants now sitting pretty at the top of the NFC East thanks to Winston’s play and maybe a little weekly motivation from a Hall of Famer, and the Cowboys looking like a disaster zone, the early season stakes are clear. Can Winston keep the Giants rolling, and how much more trouble are the Cowboys actually in? It’s going to be wild to see how this all shakes out in the coming weeks.
