Dak Prescott Fires Back at Eagles Super Bowl Victory—Claims Cowboys Would Have Dominated If Not for Injury
Dak Prescott has never been one to shy away from sharing his feelings, and his recent comments regarding the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl victory have left fans and analysts buzzing. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback didn’t hold back, expressing his disappointment and frustration over the Eagles’ win and boldly claiming that if he hadn’t been injured, the Cowboys would have “blown out” the Eagles in the NFC Championship game.
In a recent interview, Prescott made it clear that he feels the Cowboys were the better team, especially after seeing the Eagles’ Super Bowl performance. “They’ll be wishing I’m retired next season,” Prescott said, referencing the upcoming season and his confidence that the Cowboys will be able to handle the Eagles if they meet again. His strong words didn’t stop there—he went on to elaborate that he believed the Cowboys could have easily beaten the Eagles in the NFC Championship game had he not been sidelined due to an injury.
Dak Prescott’s injury earlier in the season caused a major setback for the Cowboys, and many fans believed it played a pivotal role in the team’s playoff run. Prescott was forced to watch from the sidelines as backup quarterback Cooper Rush stepped in. But Prescott, ever the competitor, feels that with him under center, the Cowboys would have been too much for the Eagles to handle. “We were the better team, and I know we would have taken care of business if I was out there,” Prescott confidently declared.
The Cowboys had a strong season despite Prescott’s injury, and many believe that they could have gone further if their starting quarterback had been healthy. With Prescott now fully recovered and ready to return next season, he is determined to lead his team to victory, and he’s making it clear that he’s not intimidated by the Eagles’ Super Bowl win. In fact, he’s using it as fuel for his confidence heading into the next season.
While the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory was an incredible achievement for the franchise, Prescott’s comments have stirred the pot among Cowboys and Eagles fans alike. Some Cowboys fans are fully behind Prescott, agreeing that with him on the field, the outcome of their NFC Championship game would have been different. Others, however, are questioning whether Prescott is placing too much blame on his injury, rather than acknowledging that the Eagles played an outstanding game to earn their victory.
Despite the heated rivalry between the Cowboys and Eagles, Prescott’s bold statements highlight just how much he wants to prove that the Cowboys are the team to beat in the NFC. In recent years, the Cowboys have been criticized for their lack of playoff success, and Prescott seems determined to change that narrative—and to make sure the Eagles don’t stand in his way.
The Eagles’ Super Bowl win has undoubtedly solidified their place at the top of the NFC for the time being, but Prescott’s comments make it clear that the Cowboys are not backing down. Prescott’s confidence and desire for redemption have fueled the rivalry between the two teams even more, with Cowboys fans eagerly anticipating the next matchup between these NFC giants.
If Prescott’s words are any indication, the 2023 NFL season is going to be full of fireworks when the Cowboys and Eagles meet again. Both teams have a lot to prove, and with Prescott’s confidence and desire for revenge, the next chapter in their rivalry promises to be even more intense than ever before.
As the offseason progresses, Cowboys fans are rallying behind Prescott, eager to see if he can lead them to a Super Bowl victory next season. But as Prescott himself said, he’s not going to settle for anything less than a dominant season, and he’s making it clear that the Eagles should be on notice when the Cowboys come knocking.
