ARLINGTON, Texas -- It was quite a week for Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Two of his dogs were bit by snakes, requiring a hefty veterinary bill. Then on Friday, his mother, Pat, who turns 82 this month, suffered a broken arm when she fell at the airport before her flight to Dallas.
Sunday, with his mom watching on television, Schottenheimer earned the first win of his coaching career, when Brandon Aubrey connected on a 46-yard field goal as time expired in overtime to beat the New York Giants 40-37, at AT&T Stadium.
