Jerry Jones Defends Embattled Matt Eberflus Over Cowboys’ Dreadful Defense

The Cowboys dropped to 2-3-1 on the season thanks to Sunday's last-second loss to the Panthers. While Dak Prescott led the offense to 27 points and threw three touchdown passes to continue the unit's hot start to the season, the defense was a disaster. As it has been all year long.

The Cowboys let Bryce Young and an underwhelming Carolina offense march very, very slowly down the field over the last six minutes of the fourth quarter to kick a game-winning field goal as time expired. It was a new low for the Dallas defense; after Sunday's debacle the Cowboys rank last in total yards allowed (2,470) and yards allowed per game (411.7). No other defense is particularly close, either.
