Dallas Cowboys' Brian Schottenheimer Faces Growing Pressure After Loss to Buccaneers
WHY IT MATTERS
The loss is a significant blow to Schottenheimer's tenure as head coach, and with many games left to play, the pressure is mounting for him to deliver results.
What happened
The Dallas Cowboys' head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, is under increasing scrutiny after his team's 24-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Buccaneers, who entered the game 0-4, were led by rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels, who was efficient against the Cowboys' struggling defense.
The loss marks the second consecutive week that the Cowboys have fallen short, and with Jerry Jones demanding winning results, Schottenheimer's job security is being called into question.
