Cowboys face tough decision on Eberflus
The Dallas Cowboys are having a tough season, especially on defense.
After losing to the Los Angeles Chargers, the team and owner Jerry Jones are thinking about whether to keep their defensive coordinator, Matt Eberflus.

Some players, like George Pickens, have been doing well, but the defense needs to improve.

Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus' future with the team is uncertain after a poor season.
Owner Jerry Jones has not endorsed Eberflus and will evaluate his performance after the season.

Quotes
Jerry Jones
Owner and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys
“I might not couch it as difficult. Now, that’s not uncommon to evaluate at this time of the year your entire coaching staff. And obviously the target’s on him because of our statistical as well as actual play on the defensive side of the ball. But that goes with it.”

Brian Schottenheimer
First-year coach of the Los Angeles Chargers
“I thought it was OK. I thought it was fine. I know we need to get more pressure on the guy and didn’t do a great job getting pressure on him. And I thought both quarterbacks played great today. And unfortunately, their guy got the win.”
