Cowboys Coach Faces Calls for Firing After Win

After Dallas edged Indianapolis 27-23, owner Jerry Jones called the win “bittersweet” and said the Cowboys were not playing well, pointing to the help they needed to secure the result. The team’s 14 penalties for 153 yards intensified criticism of head coach Brian Schottenheimer, with commentators arguing that recurring discipline problems and uneven play-calling could justify replacing him, while some fans blamed Jones for hiring him. The win also featured strong performances from Dak Prescott and the defense, which recorded three sacks and sealed the game with a late interception. Amid speculation about Schottenheimer’s future, one rival executive suggested Jones pursue Mike Tomlin, arguing the move would require Jones to spend more and cede some control; the articles present that as a proposal, not a reported Cowboys plan.
