After the Dallas Cowboys clinched the NFC East title and the No. 2 seed in the NFC with a decisive 38-10 victory against the Washington Commanders, quarterback Dak Prescott emphasized that while winning the division is a significant accomplishment, his focus is on achieving something greater in the playoffs. Prescott expressed his determination to go further in the postseason, highlighting the team's growth, coaching staff, players, accountability, and unity as key factors that give him confidence in their ability to make a Super Bowl run.
History and High Stakes
The Dallas Cowboys, who have not won a championship since 1995, are eager to make a deep playoff run and potentially reach the Super Bowl. Despite their success in the regular season, the team is well aware of the high stakes in the playoffs, with edge rusher Micah Parsons emphasizing the importance of leaving a lasting legacy through exceptional performance on the field. The upcoming matchup against the Green Bay Packers holds added significance as it marks a reunion with former Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, who led the Packers to victories over Dallas in previous playoff encounters.
AT&T Stadium Advantage
With the prospect of hosting playoff games at AT&T Stadium, the Cowboys have a strong home-field advantage, having maintained an undefeated record at home during the regular season. This impressive streak of 16 consecutive home victories has bolstered the team's confidence, although Prescott emphasized the need to focus on thorough preparation rather than relying solely on home-field advantage. Head coach Mike McCarthy echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of playing their best football regardless of the opponent or the venue.
