Indianapolis Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon has been compared to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones in a recent analysis. Irsay-Gordon, who inherited the franchise from her father Jim Irsay, was photographed observing the Colts' game against the Baltimore Ravens at Lucas Oil Stadium on September 13, 2026.
The comparison highlights the growing influence of female ownership in the NFL, with Irsay-Gordon representing the next generation of the Irsay family stewardship.
