Overview
- Eberflus said he takes full accountability for the Cowboys’ defensive collapse, which leads the NFL in points allowed at 29.8 per game and sits near the bottom in most key metrics.
- He acknowledged the effect of losing an All-Pro pass rusher after the Parsons trade but maintained he wouldn’t change his approach to the season.
- Parsons responded on X with laughing emojis to Eberflus’ comments and then accused Jerry Jones of having ‘slandered’ him to Dallas and national media.
- Jerry Jones has promised quick fixes after the season and recently said the defensive breakdown isn’t solely on Eberflus, leaving the coordinator’s job status uncertain.
- Dallas dealt Parsons to Green Bay for two first-round picks and Kenny Clark; Parsons recorded 12.5 sacks for the Packers before a season-ending ACL injury.
