Jerry Jones, welcome to the Hall of Mysterious Clapping.
The Dallas Cowboys owner joins such luminaries as Nicole Kidman and Brendan Fraser (see below) with the applause he gave to Amari Cooper after the receiver made one heck of a touchdown grab in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
To be fair, the catch was so good that it boggles the mind. In the third quarter, Dak Prescott zipped a pass toward the end zone that looked like it was going out of bounds … except Cooper kept his toes in and hauled it in.
And then Jones went and reacted this way:
AMARI. TOE TAP. AGAIN.
This man is unreal! 🔥 #DallasCowboys @AmariCooper9

I have no idea if Jerry is high fiving himself repeatedly or attempting to clap #MINvsDAL pic.twitter.com/o25NRToVGd
