If the Dallas Cowboys are eliminated from playoff contention by the time they face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, the only remaining silver lining over the final three games would be Matt Eberflus continuing to prove he isn’t the answer at defensive coordinator.
Nothing the Cowboys do this offseason to overhaul the defensive personnel will matter if Eberflus is still calling the defense in 2026. Jerry Jones’ public frustration after last week’s loss to the Vikings only added to the growing pressure on Eberflus.
Jones intimated that the final three games would be part of determining Eberflus' future with the team.
