Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer Makes Bold Promise Amid Team's Struggles
The Dallas Cowboys are 2-4 to open up the 2026 NFL season, dropping each of their last two games in primetime slots.
The Dallas Cowboys, who began the 2026 NFL season with a 2-4 record, are facing scrutiny over their leadership following a series of disappointing performances. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has acknowledged his frustration, vowing to "roll up his sleeves" and tackle the team's problems head-on. Schottenheimer expressed his dissatisfaction, stating, "Am I frustrated and pissed off?
You’re damn right I am. But I’m gonna roll my sleeves up and I’m gonna go to work. And I’m gonna solve it." The Cowboys' struggles started with a Week 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team featuring undrafted rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels. Their most recent defeat was a Sunday Night Football game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
With the Cowboys set to play the Philadelphia Eagles, a team reeling from injury concerns, in Week 7, Schottenheimer faces mounting pressure to improve the team's performance or brace for further questions about his leadership.
