Overview
- The Cowboys sit 2-4 after scoring 29 points combined in Weeks 5 and 6 and have drawn sharp criticism for five turnovers over those two games and a league-low run rate.
- Jerry Jones told reporters Wednesday at league meetings in New York that his talks with Brian Schottenheimer were tactical and focused on structure, schemes and play calls, and both Jerry and Stephen Jones publicly affirmed their confidence in the coach.
- Schottenheimer accepted blame for recent results, said "We got to play better; I got to coach better," and emphatically ruled out giving up play-calling by saying "No, absolutely not."
- The coach outlined specific fixes he plans to pursue: call more runs to revive Javonte Williams' rhythm, improve protection against blitzes, cut turnovers, and hold players like George Pickens accountable for run‑game blocking.
- With a Monday Night trip to Philadelphia looming, a poor result would heighten pressure on Schottenheimer—who is 9-13-1 as Cowboys head coach—and could increase the likelihood of roster or organizational changes before or after the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
