Summary
Brian Schottenheimer said he will "look at everything" after Dallas dropped to 2-3 with an embarrassing loss to previously winless Tampa Bay, raising the prospect of coaching staff changes five games into his second season.
241 Buccaneers rushing yards and a 17-point third quarter exposed Dallas in all three phases, with Dak Prescott throwing two interceptions and KaVontae Turpin losing a kickoff-return fumble.
Dallas still cut a 24-10 deficit to one score on a 99-yard drive ending in Prescott's touchdown pass to George Pickens, but Prescott was intercepted at Tampa Bay's 22 with 1:22 left.
Jerry Jones called the performance "extraordinarily disappointed," saying the Cowboys were dominated at the line as Tampa Bay — without injured Baker Mayfield and entering 0-4 — controlled possession and ran between the tackles.
The defeat was Schottenheimer's 12th in 22 games since replacing Mike McCarthy, and it left Dallas two games behind Philadelphia in the NFC East before next week's game against Green Bay.
