Cowboys' Resurgence Under Schottenheimer Elevates Coach of the Year Case

Public praise from Dak Prescott with backing from Jerry Jones underscores a culture shift credited with stabilizing Dallas.

Overview

  • Dallas has won three straight to reach 6-5-1, including consecutive victories over last season’s Super Bowl finalists after a 31–28 Thanksgiving defeat of the Chiefs.
  • Dak Prescott threw for 320 yards and two touchdowns against Kansas City as the offense continued to benefit from added motion, improved rhythm and timely play‑action.
  • NextGen Stats estimates the Cowboys’ playoff odds rose from 8% to 18% following the Week 13 win.
  • Schottenheimer’s Coach of the Year buzz is building, with betting odds around 35–1 and strong public endorsements from Prescott and owner Jerry Jones.
  • Reporters credit firmer standards, including benching top receivers, for the turnaround despite the late preseason trade of Micah Parsons, with a road game at Detroit opening a demanding closing slate.
