Summary
Jerry Jones said no coaching change is under consideration after Dallas fell 33-30 in overtime to Arizona, backing Brian Schottenheimer and calling the collapse “an indictment of the whole show.”
Dallas was up 24-10 with 14:20 left and still held a 10-point lead with 3:24 remaining, when ESPN Analytics gave the Cowboys a 98.3% win probability.
The defeat dropped the Cowboys to 3-5 and further behind the 4-2-1 Giants, though Jones noted Dallas remains in the playoff picture because the NFC East has struggled broadly.
The collapse matched the largest blown fourth-quarter lead in franchise history and made Dallas the NFL’s first team this season to lose after leading by at least 14 points in the fourth.
