The Dallas Cowboys reached a new low point in the 2026 campaign on Sunday, falling to the visiting Arizona Cardinals as heavy favorites at AT&T Stadium. The Cowboys blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead against Cardinals backup quarterback Gardner Minshew, who completed 17 of his 23 pass attempts for 188 yards and three touchdowns in relief for an ineffective Jacoby Brissett. A missed extra point from Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland sent the game into overtime, but Arizona was still able to complete its improbable comeback in the extra period.
This ugly loss for the Cowboys sparked some serious discussion about the future of head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who has Dallas off to a disappointing 3-5 start this year. However, Cowboys veteran linebacker Von Miller delivered a strong defense of Schottenheimer and the Dallas coaching staff on Monday. Sometimes you raise your kids a certain way and you teach them lessons.
You expect them to act a certain way when they go out," Miller said, via team insider Jon Machota of The Athletic. And I use that reference for our coaching staff. We have amazing coaches that keep us prepared, ready to go mentally, physically, emotionally.
They breathe life into us, and just for whatever reason, that’s the product. So at the end of the day, the buck has to stop somewhere. Somebody’s going to get the blame," Miller added.
We’ve got a great coaching staff. And that’s not a reflection of how they coach us and get us ready every week.” The Cowboys will look to get their season back on track in a Week 9 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts this coming Sunday.
