Roger Staubach Surprises Cowboys Coach Schottenheimer at Press Conference

Hall of Famer Roger Staubach unexpectedly walked into Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer’s Friday press conference in Frisco — the first time the two had met — prompting an enthusiastic, emotional response from Schottenheimer. Staubach, 83, joked “I can still throw,” said he still loves the Cowboys and that he’s “pulling for” the 1-2 club, expressing confidence they will get better. The encounter came ahead of Sunday Night’s Week 4 matchup with the Green Bay Packers — notable because Micah Parsons returns to AT&T Stadium after being traded to Green Bay and Dallas will be without star receiver CeeDee Lamb due to injury. Media outlets reported the surprise visit energized Schottenheimer and was framed as a motivational boost as the new coach tries to steady a team facing early-season pressure and scrutiny.
