Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys had given their fans hope after an epic tie against the Green Bay Packers and a solid victory over the New York Jets. However, everything has collapsed following a shocking 30-27 loss in Carolina.
Jerry Jones and the Cowboys have gone three decades without winning the Super Bowl, and despite Prescott playing at an MVP-caliber level, Matt Eberflusâ defense has been a disaster. Adding to that the frustration over the Micah Parsons trade, the situation is reaching a breaking point.
This was Schottenheimerâs response when asked if he has the personnel to run Eberflusâ game plan. âYeah, absolutely. No question about it.â Later, the head coach answered whether his players believe in their defensive coordinatorâs scheme.
âThatâs the bigger question. I would think so. I would hope so. Thereâs a consistency thatâs not showing up. We got to be better and that starts with me. Mattâs a great coach. Heâs been around. Everywhere heâs ever been heâs had good defenses. Itâs not just Matt by himself. Mattâs trying. The players are trying. This is not a lack of effort. This is not that. We have to be able to play more complimentary defense.â
Did the Cowboys lose against Panthers?
Yes. The Dallas Cowboys lost 30-27 to the Carolina Panthers in one of the biggest surprises of Week 7. The team now holds a 2-3-1 record. Additionally, the remaining schedule for Brian Schottenheimerâs team is very challenging.
In the next two games, they will face the Commanders and the Denver Broncos. After that, they still have matchups against tough opponents such as the Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Vikings, Chargers, and rematches with Washington and the Giants.
