a hungry, pissed off version<\/a> of Shotty,\u201d Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott said, via Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com. \u201cIt\u2019s not like he\u2019s naive. It\u2019s not like he hadn\u2019t heard some noise about him, and whether it\u2019s calling the games or whatever doubt that\u2019s been out there. But we\u2019ve got his back. He knows that. He\u2019s a guy that takes a lot of pride in his job, a lot of pride in his team.<\/p>\n\u201cEverybody handles everything different, so I don\u2019t blame him to an extent. We\u2019ve got his back. More importantly, it\u2019s just about us going out there and executing on Sundays.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Cowboys saved their season, moving to 3-4, but they are only 10-13-1 since Schottenheimer became the team\u2019s head coach in 2025. The Cowboys were 1-7-1 in primetime games under Schottenheimer before Monday night.<\/p>\n
They had their best performance of the year against the Eagles, though, gaining 416 yards and getting six defensive stops, including a takeaway.<\/p>\n
Schottenheimer disputed that Monday was a \u201cmust-win,\u201d but he did allow that the victory \u201cgets us right back into the hunt in the NFC East.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brian Schottenheimer\u2019s first six postgame news conferences this season averaged almost 13 minutes each.
