Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer finds owl flying around living room, calls it a 'good omen'

The Buffalo Bills play the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday, and Josh Allen can cement his MVP case with a win over Patrick Mahomes. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes ask whether the Bills can get a statement win vs. the Chiefs.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer had an unexpected visitor at his house on Thursday. 

Schottenheimer, 52, found an owl flying around his living room. 

"I'm in game-plan meetings last night doing some red zone stuff, and I leave the meeting about 10 o'clock. Amd I go back to my phone, and I literally had 72 text messages on my phone. Seventy-two. I'm a popular guy, so that's nothing abnormal," Schottenheimer told reporters on Friday.

"But it literally started with a text from my son to his mother saying, 'Umm, there's a big hawk-sized bird in here,' and I began to look down, and there was an owl."

The Cowboys head coach called his niece and soon-to-be nephew for assistance with the owl, but they got nowhere. 

"We’re not very outdoorsy people, and so he wasn’t really quite sure what to do. So, he called my soon-to-be nephew, who’s marrying my niece, and the two of them together, Frick and Frack, tried to figure it out. They couldn’t do it. All they did was piss it off. And, so, in typical coaching fashion, I called my wife, and I said, ‘Honey, I’m going to stay at the condo tonight, you got this,'" Schottenheimer said.
