The Arizona Cardinals staged a thrilling comeback to beat the Dallas Cowboys, 33-30, in overtime in Week 8. Or if you’re looking at things from the Cowboys’ perspective, Dallas suffered a devasting loss to a bad team at home, blowing a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter. Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones could not hide his disappointment.
As the Cardinals kicked the game-winner, Jones slammed a table with his hands and yelled. The Cowboys are now 3-5 and are currently 13th in the NFC standings. Only the Commanders, Eagles and Saints have worse records right now.

Jones was asked about the possibility of making a coaching change and dismissed the idea saying he did that once before with Wade Phillips and wasn’t proud of it. So as for the idea of firing Schottenheimer during the season Jerry doesn’t see that happening and said a lot of people let the coach down on Sunday.

Jones fired Wade Phillips after a 1-7 start. He replaced him with Jason Garrett who then coached the Cowboys for the next nine seasons.
The Cowboys’ season will continue next week against the Indianapolis Colts, who are 2-6 and having a similarly rough season. Over the last couple weeks the Colts fired their general manager and started trading players. With the trade deadline on Tuesday, the Cowboys might want to do something.
