Coach Brian Schottenheimer admits mistakes the team made after week 14 loss to the Lions

The Dallas Cowboys suffered their most lopsided defeat of the 2025 season, falling 44-30 to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. But according to offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, the blame doesn’t belong to Dan Campbell’s squad — it belongs entirely to Dallas.

Brian Schottenheimer: It’s About More than Just Micah | Press Conference

In a candid post-game comments on 105.3 The Fan, Schottenheimer didn’t hold back:

“Let’s be real: we didn’t lose because Detroit was unstoppable. We lost because we beat ourselves with stupid, self-inflicted mistakes. Special teams were an absolute disaster, penalties at the worst possible moments, turnovers handed to them on a silver platter… We never gave ourselves a chance. When you let an offense start every single drive at their own 43-yard line or better, you don’t deserve to win.”

The Damning Stats That Prove Self-Destruction

  • 100% of Detroit’s offensive drives started at or beyond their own 43-yard line (due to poor punts and coverage)
  • 44 points allowed – the most the 2025 Cowboys have surrendered in a single game
  • Multiple 50–70 yard explosive plays given up
  • Critical penalties, including Jake Ferguson’s hands-to-the-face flag that wiped out a George Pickens DPI that would have placed the ball at the 1-yard line
  • Costly turnovers that gifted Detroit short fields

Schottenheimer continued: “We have Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and one of the best kickers in football in Brandon Aubrey. Get past the 50 and it’s basically three points. Yet we still find ways to shoot ourselves in the foot. It’s unacceptable.”

When asked about controversial officiating calls, he shut it down immediately: “Don’t even go there with the refs. Detroit got hosed on a couple calls too. You don’t lose by 14 because of one or two flags.”

Bottom Line

This marks the third straight “self-inflicted” loss for Dallas in 2025. Unless the Cowboys fix their discipline, special teams disasters, and turnover issues overnight, talent alone won’t save them in big games. Brian Schottenheimer’s message was crystal clear: right now, the Dallas Cowboys are their own worst enemy.
