Cowboys have an obvious firing to make after Lions disaster (but not Matt Eberflus)

There's a lot of blame to go around for the Dallas Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football.

Brian Schottenheimer coached way too conservatively, the offensive line had its worst game of the season protecting Dak Prescott, and the defense gave up 44 points. While those stick out like Dez Bryant at an Giants tailgate, the Cowboys' special teams was an abject disaster.

The Cowboys need to have a difficult conversation about KaVontae Turpin returning kickoffs and punts. However, the coverage on Detroit's kick returns was a huge storyline that might have gotten swept under the rug amid the 74-point barrage.
