Schottenheimer Blasts Stat Talk as Cowboys Seek Defensive Answers at 3-4-1

The coach's public rebuke shifts focus from Dak Prescott’s prolific offense to urgent defensive fixes before the trade deadline.

Overview

  • Brian Schottenheimer dismissed praise for the offense and emphasized results after Dallas fell to 3-4-1.
  • Dallas ranks second in total yards and scoring with the NFL’s top passing attack, as Dak Prescott posts a 70.3% completion rate, 2,096 yards, a 16–5 TD-INT line and a 101.6 rating.
  • Defensive breakdowns persist after surrendering 44 points and 426 yards to Denver, with league-worst metrics reported in points and third-down conversions allowed.
  • Defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey was designated to return from injured reserve as the club searches for help along the front.
  • The Cowboys have shown interest in Bengals pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, but reports say Cincinnati has rebuffed inquiries, with Arizona up next on Monday before the bye.
