Jerry Jones calls the Arizona collapse 'an indictment of the whole show' and keeps Schottenheimer

Jerry Jones looked at Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to Arizona and blamed everybody. That's the reason Brian Schottenheimer still has a job.

"It's an indictment of the whole show," Jones said after Dallas fell to 3-5, according to ESPN's Todd Archer. Asked about a coaching change, he said, "That's not in my mind at this time," and added that "a lot of people let Brian down today and so for whatever criticism we want to have of Brian, we can all get in line."

The loss was historic in the worst way. Dallas led 24-10 with 14:20 left and still led by 10 with 3:24 to go, when ESPN Analytics gave it a 98.3% chance to win. Before Sunday, the Cowboys were 202-0-1 at home when leading by 14 or more in the fourth quarter. NFL teams were 44-0-1 in that spot this season.

Jones also brought up his only in-season firing, when he replaced Wade Phillips with Jason Garrett during a 1-7 start in 2010. "I made a change and I don't want to mention it because I'm not proud of it," he said. "I don't see that here."

Dak Prescott went further in defending his coach. "Don't put the blame on one person. Simple as that. I think that's weak. I think that's cowardly," Prescott said. "Even if I go out there and throw 100 interceptions, it's never just truly one person's fault."

Prescott has a point, and so does Jones. Nobody blows a lead like that alone. But "the whole show" includes the guy who runs the show. Jones is the owner and the general manager, and Schottenheimer is 10-14-1. Saying everyone failed is a convenient way to avoid choosing anyone.

Dallas is still in the NFC East race mostly because the division is bad, and the Giants (4-2-1) moved further ahead Sunday.

What's next: Jones says no change is coming. The next loss will test how long "we can all get in line" holds up.
