The Story in 60 Seconds

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones reaffirmed full organizational support for head coach Brian Schottenheimer despite the team's 2-4 start to the season. The backing comes following a 23-13 Week 6 defeat against the Green Bay Packers, which marked Dallas's second consecutive loss and dropped Schottenheimer's overall record with the franchise to 9-13-1.

Schottenheimer acknowledged the team's struggles and stated he remains focused on fixing ongoing issues rather than seeking public endorsements. The Cowboys currently face offensive stagnation, an injury crisis having utilized six injured reserve designations, and a struggling defense allowing 26.5 points per game ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
