What happened: ESPN analyst Tedy Bruschi questioned whether bringing in veteran coach Mike Pettine will resolve the defensive struggles facing the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas added Pettine to the staff in an advisory role to support defensive coordinator Christian Parker.

Why it matters: The critique from Bruschi, who picked the Cowboys to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, highlights growing skepticism surrounding the franchise's midseason staff adjustments. Club leadership structured the arrangement so Pettine answers directly to ownership while advising the defensive staff.

What to watch: The Dallas Cowboys face the Green Bay Packers next, with the game scheduled and the score at 0-0.
