Brian Schottenheimer Calls Owl in His Home a 'Good Omen' Ahead of Cowboys-Cardinals MNF

He joked he would put an elephant in his garage if it delivered a win.

Overview

  • The owl entered the house Thursday after his son left the sliding doors open.
  • Animal control captured the bird with a pool-style net and returned it to its habitat.
  • Schottenheimer said he spotted 72 family texts about the chaos while he was in late-night game-planning meetings.
  • His wife, Gemmi, posted video on Instagram, and national outlets circulated the story as a viral human-interest piece.
  • Reports tied the episode to earlier season oddities — snake bites to two family dogs and his 82-year-old mother’s fall — noted before a Week 2 win.
