"In the fourth quarter alone -- when 41 total points were scored, the final three on a game-tying, 64-yard Brandon Aubrey field goal -- you could have argued that Russell Wilson is more than good enough to keep Jaxson Dart on the bench, Malik Nabers would lead the league in receiving yards this season, the Cowboys' defense isn't good enough to get them to the playoffs or that Aubrey should get more MVP voting attention."
"The Dallas Cowboys' first-year head coach had three extra days to sit with a tough season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles before coaching again Sunday against the New York Giants. Early last week, both of his dogs were bitten by snakes. On Friday, his 82-year-old mother broke her arm and was hospitalized. "So I was hoping things would turn around at some point," Schottenheimer said after Sunday's game."
Brian Schottenheimer faced personal setbacks before the game, including two dogs bitten by snakes and his 82-year-old mother breaking her arm. The Cowboys and Giants engaged in a wildly oscillating contest that ended 40-37 in overtime, giving Schottenheimer his first NFL head-coaching victory. The fourth quarter produced 41 points, capped by a game-tying 64-yard field goal by Brandon Aubrey. The game produced 984 total yards and 26 accepted penalties. The performance prompted debate about quarterback decisions, the impact of offseason additions, and wider recognition for Brandon Aubrey.
