Cowboys Headlines: Aikman keeps win in perspective; Schottenheimer explains clipped tone

Monday's win in Philadelphia buoyed the spirits of Cowboys Nation for a Victory Tuesday, but one of the franchise's icons isn't ready to pronounce the Cowboys "fixed" based on one game. Troy Aikman kept things firmly in perspective as his former team moved to 3-4. Brian Schottenheimer, meanwhile, didn't even seem all that happy after the Week 7 win. In today's look at the headlines, the head coach is asked why his postgame press conference was abnormally short and unusually frosty... and Dak Prescott sheds some light on what had Schotty "pissed off" leading up to kickoff.

We've got coverage of Monday's divisional win from all the angles, including the resurgence of the Dallas run game, what may have had George Pickens standing on the sideline more than usual, how Joey Porter Jr. is adjusting to life as a Cowboy, and how Prescott gave a stylish shout-out to the big guys who kept him remarkably clean all night long.

All that, plus why is the most valuable sports franchise on earth sending cease-and-desist orders to an emo rock band over their live concerts? Maybe it has something to do with the oddly-familiar-looking costumes worn by their backup dancers...

The rival Eagles, meanwhile, are reeling in their search for answers after Monday's loss. Saquon Barkley is getting praise for his gutsy performance, but he and several other Eagles stars are suddenly the subject of surprising trade talks in what is quickly becoming a lost season in Philadelphia. Owner Jeffrey Lurie seems to be dodging questions about the club's handling of Jalen Hurts... but on the bright side, the team may be looking at a very early draft pick in the spring.

In other league news, the Colts are having a clearance sale. Their trading of two star players on Tuesday may make the Cowboys' Week 9 visit to Indianapolis a little easier... but now Dallas will see Quenton Nelson in Seattle and DeForest Buckner wearing 49ers red and gold once again. In QB news, the Raiders say they're sticking with Kirk Cousins, and Oregon's Dante Moore looks like he's done for the year. What does that do to the draft-day stock of the Ducks' prolific passer?
