Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman comments on the Dallas Cowboys’ prolonged Super Bowl drought, arguing that the issue “starts at the top.” Both outlets report that Aikman points to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones as the primary driver behind the franchise’s inability to reach—or win—the Super Bowl in recent years.
The reports frame Aikman’s remarks as a critique of leadership rather than focusing on any single game, coaching staff decision, or roster move. Because the two sources provide the same core information, there is limited variation in how the story is presented: each attributes the central claim to Aikman and centers it on Jones’s responsibility for the team’s postseason shortcomings. Neither outlet details new evidence or specific internal decisions tied to the drought within the provided text.
Overall, the coverage emphasizes Aikman’s perspective—linking the drought to management—while leaving broader context, such as timelines, comparisons to other seasons, or differing expert viewpoints, outside the scope of the excerpts.
