The Super Bowl pressure continues to build for the Dallas Cowboys as the franchise’s decades-long drought wears on.
The Cowboys finished the 2025 NFL season with a 7-9-1 record, failing to play their way into the postseason. Now, the team is hoping to bounce back with a much-improved year in 2026.
Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer recently stated that the Cowboys expect to play in the Super Bowl this coming February. And on Friday, quarterback Dak Prescott said he welcomes these lofty expectations.
“Shoot yeah, that’s what’s left for me,” Prescott said, via NFL.com. “And that’s always been my mindset, you know. That’s the one thing I truly love about the Cowboys organization and the fanbase is it’s that or nothing.
“That’s what being a competitor is, if that’s not how you’re wired, if that’s not how you think, whether you’re a fan, whether you’re a player, whether you’re a coach, then I think you’re in the wrong business, and, honestly, I don’t want you on my team. I love those expectations.”
Prescott led the NFL in total completions (404) for the second time in his career in 2025. The 32-year-old signal caller completed 67.3% of his pass attempts for 4,552 yards, 30 touchdowns and 10 interceptions through a full 17-game campaign.
The Cowboys will open up their 2026 regular-season schedule with a Week 1 matchup against the New York Giants on Sept. 13.
