The Story in 60 Seconds

The Landry Hat argues that Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer's decision to attempt a fourth-quarter two-point conversion against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers raised serious questions about his job security. Dallas lost 24-16 to the previously winless Buccaneers on Thursday. After Dak Prescott threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to George Pickens, Schottenheimer chose an unsuccessful two-point try rather than letting kicker Brandon Aubrey kick the extra point.

Writer Jason Kandel contends that Schottenheimer is coaching himself onto the hot seat after falling to 2-3 on the season. The article highlights that failing to kick the point cost Dallas an opportunity to push the contest into overtime, criticizing the team's ongoing self-sabotage under Schottenheimer despite facing weak divisional competition.
