Cowboys Fall in Schottenheimer’s Debut as Jones, Prescott Praise Preparation

Dallas opened with four straight scoring drives before being blanked after halftime.

Overview

  • Dallas lost 24-20 to the Eagles in Philadelphia, handing Brian Schottenheimer a defeat in his first game as head coach.
  • The Cowboys scored on all four first‑half possessions but produced no points after the break, with Philadelphia’s 58‑yard Jake Elliott field goal the only second‑half scoring.
  • Owner Jerry Jones said Schottenheimer "had this team ready to play" and highlighted zero pre‑snap penalties on offense as a coaching positive.
  • Dak Prescott credited Schottenheimer’s preparation and playcalling, saying the staff gave the team opportunities to win.
  • Schottenheimer called it a team loss with no moral victories and reaffirmed a Super Bowl goal as he navigates major roster changes that include trading Micah Parsons and integrating newcomer George Pickens, who had three catches for 30 yards.
