The third-down call that will haunt Brian Schottenheimer

Coach Brian Schottenheimer has struggled in situational decision making this season. While the offense was able to put up points on Sunday against the Cardinals, the second year head coach again struggled to make sound decisions in crunch time.

One of the biggest plays of the game occurred on 3rd and 11 with 4:02 left in the 4th quarter. Arizona had just one timeout left. A field goal here puts Dallas up by two scores. The two most important factors at this moment were chewing clock or forcing Arizona to spend their timeouts and securing the field goal.
