The Dallas Cowboys are on the brink of elimination from the NFL Playoff race, as they only have a 1% chance to qualify for the postseason. One of the biggest reasons why they find themselves in this situation is their defense, led by Matt Eberflus. The former Chicago Bears head coach has been under fire, especially after the Cowboys suffered a shocking 34-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Ahead of the Week 16 clash against the Chargers, Eberflus has decided to make a significant change as he will call the game from the coaches’ booth in the stadium.
ESPN’s Todd Archer confirmed the development as he reported, “Matt Eberflus said he will move to the coaches both from the sideline for the final three games. He said he’s done it before, and the different perspective should help.”
