Jerry Jones says he doesn’t see a midseason coaching change for Brian Schottenheimer after Dallas blew a 14-point, fourth-quarter lead and lost to Arizona, 33-30, in overtime. Jones called the collapse a failure by the entire organization, not just the head coach. Dak Prescott and Schottenheimer also accepted shared responsibility.

By the Numbers
  • Dallas had been 202-0-1 at home when leading by at least 14 points in the fourth quarter; Sunday was its first loss in that situation.
  • The Cowboys are 3-5 this season and 10-14-1 since Schottenheimer took over.
  • Dallas has allowed at least 20 points in 15 straight games, the longest active streak in the NFL.
  • Arizona’s Tyler Allgeier totaled 191 yards from scrimmage and scored twice, including runs of 63 and 52 yards.
Yes, But

The loss adds to concerns about Dallas’ consistency, particularly its defense, and Schottenheimer acknowledged he has things to improve. But Jones said the defeat was a “total team loss” and pointed to failures across the organization rather than singling out the coach.

State of Play
  • Jones has made just one in-season coaching change in 38 years as Cowboys owner: firing Wade Phillips in 2010.
  • Dallas has yet to put together a winning streak this season, despite scoring at least 30 points in five games.
What's Next

Schottenheimer remains in place for now. He says the team will review the missed opportunities and look for positives as it prepares for the games ahead.

Bottom Line

Jones is resisting a quick fix: The Cowboys’ collapse exposed problems beyond the head coach, and the team must show it can turn late-game leads into wins.
