Coach Brian Schottenheimer Fires Back at Aaron Glenn’s “Referee Bias for Cowboys” Claims After Dominant Win Over Jets

East Rutherford, New Jersey – October 6, 2025 – The Dallas Cowboys’ convincing 37–22 victory over the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium should have been a powerful statement from quarterback Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ explosive offense. However, it has been overshadowed by post-game controversy after Jets head coach Aaron Glenn accused referees of showing favoritism toward Dallas.

Speaking to reporters after the loss, Glenn expressed frustration over what he called “biased officiating” that changed the game’s momentum.
“There were a few moments that should have gone our way, but didn’t,” Glenn said. “It’s hard to compete fairly when the calls keep going in one direction. This is frustrating for both the players and the fans.”

The accusations centered around a third-quarter sequence when the Jets were penalized with a holding penalty, putting them in a third-and-long situation, leading to a sack on QB Justin Fields. The Jets argued that this call was unfair, giving the Cowboys an opportunity to score and widen the gap.

However, Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer dismissed Glenn’s claims, calling them “baseless and unbecoming.”
“I respect Coach Glenn, but blaming the referees isn’t how we operate,” Brian said. “We played strong, disciplined football. The decisions were reviewed and confirmed by the officiating crew. That’s football. There’s no bias—just effort, preparation, and execution.”

Brian, in his fifth season leading the Cowboys, emphasized that the victory came from resilience and teamwork, not from favorable calls.
“We fight for every inch on the field,” he added. “If you want to win in this league, you do it with performance—not complaints. The Cowboys earned that victory fair and square.”

The win improved the Cowboys’ record to 2–2–1, solidifying their momentum in the NFC playoff race, while the Jets fell to 0–5, still struggling to find offensive rhythm. Meanwhile, Glenn’s remarks are likely to draw scrutiny from the NFL office, as publicly criticizing officiating violates league policy.

Under the bright lights of MetLife Stadium, the Cowboys once again showed why they are America’s Team—resilient, composed, and ready to silence all the noise.
