Jerry Jones Makes Final Three Games Key Test for Cowboys DC Matt Eberflus

A league-worst pass defense with roughly 30 points allowed per game has put the first-year coordinator under sharper scrutiny.

Overview

  • Jones told 105.3 The Fan the defense’s performance over the next three games will be a “big criteria” in deciding Eberflus’s future.
  • Dallas has allowed about 30 points per game and leads the league in passing yards and passing touchdowns conceded.
  • After a 34-26 loss to Minnesota, J.J. McCarthy threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns without a sack as Jones lamented a lack of pressure.
  • The Cowboys are down to less than a 1% chance to reach the postseason, with games left against the Chargers, Commanders and Giants.
  • A further change would mark a fourth coordinator in four years, with turnover and the Micah Parsons trade cited as contributors to the defensive slide.
