Overview
- The Cowboys fell to 2-4 after a 23-13 road loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, marking their fourth loss in six games and extending a slide that began with a late collapse earlier in October.
- Executive vice president Stephen Jones said on Dallas radio that he and owner Jerry Jones “absolutely” have full confidence in Brian Schottenheimer, a public show of support intended to steady fans and the locker room.
- Schottenheimer acknowledged responsibility for the poor start, said he is “pissed off,” vowed to fix the problems and indicated there will be no immediate personnel changes while expressing continued trust in the offense.
- League stats show a split performance: Dallas ranks about 13th in total offense and 11th in scoring offense, but roughly 30th in total defense and 25th in scoring defense, highlighting clear defensive shortcomings.
- With the Eagles losing Jalen Hurts for the season, Monday’s game at Philadelphia is a near-term test that could determine whether the Cowboys stabilize their season or prompt renewed questions about the coaching staff’s future.
