Dallas owner Jerry Jones fell short of endorsing the performance of the former Bears coach.
Dak Prescott led the Dallas Cowboys to touchdowns on their first two drives against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Justin Herbert easily answered both times against a Dallas defense that tops the list of reasons the Cowboys will miss the playoffs for second year in a row and could finish with a losing record in back-to-back seasons for the first time since the last of three straight in 2002.
Matt Eberflus moved to the coaching booth from the sideline before the 34-17 loss to the Chargers, a few days after owner and general manager Jerry Jones had some cryptic words for the first-year defensive coordinator on his radio show.
Jones’ tone hadn’t changed much when he saw reporters after the game.
Eberflus was a valued defensive assistant in Dallas a decade ago, and could have been the defensive coordinator then under different circumstances. Instead, he went on to Indianapolis in that role before landing the head coaching job with the Bears, who fired him midseason a year ago.
