The Dallas Cowboys faced the Washington Commanders on Sunday.
They came in with a 2-3-1 record with wins over the New York Giants and New York Jets.
Sunday felt like all Cowboys from start to finish. They opened with a Javonte Williams rushing touchdown within the first two minutes of the game.
And despite giving up 22 points to Washington, Dallas exploded for 44 points of its own. Quarterback Dak Prescott finished with 264 passing yards and three touchdowns, while completing 21-of-30 passes.
Why is the Dallas Cowboys’ pass defense so horrible?
As the Cowboys now sit at 3-3-1 in head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s first season in charge, owner Jerry Jones spoke very highly of his Sunday performance.
“To me, last week was about as good a coaching job as I’ve been around since I don’t know when,” Jones said on 105.3 The Fan.
That’s some high praise considering Jones has been with the Cowboys since 1989. Not only that, Jones also praised Schottenheimer for the Cowboys’ improved defensive performance against the Commanders.
“To some degree, we didn’t have no way to go but up on defense. But I didn’t expect this kind of performance from our defense. So, kudos to (DC Matt Eberflus) and certainly Brian Schottenheimer. He had a lot of fingerprints on this (Sunday),” Jones said, according to Machota.
“He’s the head coach, obviously he calls the (offensive) plays, and there he is spending a lot of (last) week working with the defensive coordinator. That’s a coach. That is a coach right there.”
Schottenheimer was hired by Dallas in 2022 as a coaching analyst. He’s since been promoted to offensive coordinator and now the head coach.
