Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he will not fire head coach Brian Schottenheimer after the team lost 33-30 in overtime to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he would not fire head coach Brian Schottenheimer after Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals at AT&T Stadium. The loss dropped the Cowboys to 3-5 on the season.

Jones told reporters he was not considering a coaching change at the moment, comparing the situation to a previous mid-season change he made with coach Wade Phillips. However, his comments suggested mixed feelings about Schottenheimer's tenure. When asked about concerns that Schottenheimer was not getting the job done, Jones said 'none of us are getting it done' and that the failure to win the game despite having opportunities was 'a big snapshot that we want to put above our mirror'.

The Cowboys led 14-0 in the second quarter and 17-10 after three quarters before the Cardinals rallied. Tyler Allgeier rushed for 147 yards for Arizona, while Gardner Minshew threw to Michael Wilson in the Cardinals' comeback. Jones appeared visibly upset during the loss, shouting an expletive and slamming his hands on the rail when Chad Ryland kicked the game-winning field goal in overtime.
