The Dallas Cowboys are 2-4. Their coach still has the backing of the people at the top.

Executive vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that Brian Schottenheimer has the full support of ownership. "Absolutely. There's not any question in Jerry's and I's mind," Jones said in a radio interview. "He has the team."

A rough stretch

Schottenheimer is 9-13-1 in 23 games as head coach. The Cowboys have lost two straight, including Sunday's 23-13 defeat at Green Bay.

The offense has stalled in both losses. Schottenheimer calls the plays. Dak Prescott has thrown four interceptions in that span and Dallas has scored just 29 points over the two games. The running game ranks 30th in the NFL with 456 yards through six games.

Against the Packers, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were held in check as Prescott averaged 4.8 yards per attempt.

No changes planned

Schottenheimer said he did not need the public vote of confidence. He also ruled out changes. "We're going to get back to work and we'll figure it out," he said. "I'm not concerned about our offense."

Asked whether he wanted his players angry or measured, he said he likes angry. "I'd say right now I'm pretty pissed off," he said. "I think they're pissed off too."

Eagles up next

Next Monday night the Cowboys face the 2-4 Philadelphia Eagles. Another loss would mean the second three-game losing streak of Schottenheimer's tenure.

Four of the Cowboys' next five opponents are Philadelphia, Arizona, Indianapolis and Tennessee. Those teams are a combined 7-17. Dallas also hosts the 5-0 San Francisco 49ers on Nov. 15.

"We've got to play better. We've got to coach better and it needs to start this week against Philadelphia," Schottenheimer said.
