Jerry Jones did not have a very happy birthday.
On Sunday, the Cowboys got absolutely embarrassed by the Detroit Lions 47-9 at home.
This was actually the worst Cowboys home loss since Jones bought the team in 1989.

Sunday also happened to be Jones’ 82nd birthday, and Eagles fans jokingly began wishing him Happy Birthday on social media after the loss.

Update: Jones was asked about losing on his birthday.
