Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said he would "be better" after meeting with Jerry Jones about questionable late-game coaching decisions in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. Jones expressed disappointment over the final 28 seconds, including a third-down throwaway by Dak Prescott and a kickoff that allowed the Ravens to set up a winning field goal. Schottenheimer accepted responsibility, stating he "overcoached" Prescott and that his emotions affected the kickoff decision.

He noted poor communication between Nick Sorensen and Ryan Feder. Schottenheimer referenced his father, Marty Schottenheimer, and vowed to learn from the mistakes. He also defended defensive coordinator Christian Parker's coverage call, saying the team played "way too tight." The Cowboys face the Houston Texans next.
