The Dallas Cowboys have long been one of the most historic and ambitious teams in the NFL. However, since their last Super Bowl victory in 1995, they have struggled to return to the top. Despite this, quarterback Dak Prescott remains confident in the Cowboys’ ability to compete, especially against some of their toughest NFC rivals.
Confidence Against the Philadelphia Eagles
In a recent statement, Prescott emphasized that the Cowboys have consistently performed well against the Philadelphia Eagles, their biggest NFC East rival. “I feel like we’ve competed with the Eagles and beat them for the most part when we’ve played them,” Prescott said. However, he also acknowledged that head-to-head records mean little when the other team is lifting the trophy. “I don’t want to say ‘Check the record,’ when the other guy is holding the trophy, right?”
This statement shows that Prescott understands that regular-season success is not enough. The ultimate goal remains pushing deep into the playoffs and winning a Super Bowl.
Reflecting on the NFC Championship
Prescott also mentioned watching the NFC Championship game and the two teams competing for a Super Bowl berth. “Even watching the NFC Championship and those two teams, teams that we battle against each and every year a couple of times. As I said, I feel confident that we’ve gotten the better part each and every time.”
The Cowboys have demonstrated their strength during the regular season, but they still need to take that next step in the postseason. Overcoming past playoff disappointments will be crucial for them to finally break through.
Can the Cowboys Make the Leap?
Prescott’s confidence is backed by the fact that the Cowboys have a talented roster with a powerful offense and a strong defense. However, to truly reach the Super Bowl, they must prove they can win when it matters most.
With Prescott leading the way, the Cowboys have the potential to compete with the NFC’s best. But as he pointed out, regular-season success doesn’t matter anymore—it’s all about who holds the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season. And that remains the Cowboys’ biggest challenge.
