The Story in 60 Seconds

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is facing growing pressure entering Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season. Since defeating the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving last year, the Cowboys are 0-6 against teams other than the Washington Commanders. Schottenheimer currently holds an 8-11-1 record since taking over as the franchise's head coach.

The team's struggles include possessing one of the league's worst defenses and following up multiple coaching blunders in a Week 3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. However, Dallas will face favorable upcoming matchups against the 0-3 Houston Texans and the 1-2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are slated to play without quarterback Baker Mayfield.
