  "account": "Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer's job security remains firmly intact despite an ongoing string of disappointing performances, according to team CEO Stephen Jones. The Cowboys suffered a 23-13 defeat to the Packers, following a 24-16 loss to the Buccaneers, both of which marked disappointing outings for an offensive unit that was once considered a strength. The run game ranks last among NFL teams, averaging 76 yards per game, while the often reliable pass game has only managed two touchdowns and four interceptions in the last two contests. The return of All-Pro left guard Tyler Smith from injury has coincided with the team's offensive struggles. However, Jones remains unequivocal in his support for Schottenheimer, stating, \"There's not any question in Jerry's and I's mind. He has the team. There's no question they want to go out there and execute and make things happen.\" Despite the criticism from former player Braylon Edwards, who drew parallels between Schottenheimer's coaching under the Jets and the team's underwhelming performances, Jones maintains the faith that the coaching staff has the potential to turn things around, with the Cowboys facing the 2-4 Philadelphia Eagles in their next matchup.",
