Dak Prescott has been the Cowboys Qb for a while now. He just had his 9th season with the franchise. For reference, Tony Romo was their starter for 10 seasons. In that time the Cowboys have made the playoffs 5 times and only won twice. They have never made it past the 2nd round. Some would think someone with that little real success would be a little humble, especially after watching his rival win it all for the 2nd time since he took over as the Cowboys starter. But that is not the case.

I thought Micah Parsons saying that a 41-7 loss was actually close would be the most delusional thing a Cowboys player would say this year. But Dak Prescott might have just topped him. Because when asked about the Eagles winning recently, he had this madness to say.
“I feel like we’ve competed with the Eagles and beat them for the most part when we’ve played them. I don’t want to say ‘check the record’ when the other guy’s holding the trophy. So credit to them. They’ve earned it, and they deserve it by all means, but yeah, very close. Especially even watching the NFC Championship and those teams [Eagles and Commanders], teams that we battle against each and every year a couple of times. As I said, feel confident that we’ve gotten the better part each and every time. But just seeing such a dominating fashion, credit to them. It’s our turn, and it’s on us.”
This sounds like the coping Philly fans used to say when Buddy Ryan would beat the Cowboys every year, but then the Cowboys won it all. Congrats on beating them in the regular season Dak. I am sure that will look good up on a banner in Jerry World. They might need to hang it up because there has not been much else for the Cowboys to celebrate recently.
The Eagles just won their 2nd Super Bowl in 8 seasons and made it to their 3rd. The Cowboys have the longest NFC Championship drought in the conference. They have not made it to a final 4 since 1995. Google didn’t exist the last time the Cowboys made it to an NFC Championship game. DVDs had just been invented, and not yet widely available.
The Eagles have shown up there 8 times since then and made it the 4 Super Bowls, winning 2. They just crushed the team that was chasing the 1st ever 3-peat in NFL history. The Cowboys missed the playoffs. Dak was hurt, but they were on track to miss before he got injured anyway.
There is no close here. The Eagles and the Cowboys are the antithesis of close. The Cowboys are closer to the Browns than they are to the Eagles. Win something that means anything before you compare yourself to the Eagles.
