Cowboys MVP QB Dak Prescott Reveals Intense Message for Playoffs vs. Green Bay Packers
FRISCO - The Cowboys ended their 2023 regular season with a 38-10 road beating of division rival Washington, and are heading into Wild Card weekend riding the hot arm of quarterback Dak Prescott.
Dallas ended the season 12-5 and with Prescott being named among league MVP candidates. But with all the accolades and personal accomplishments that come with the team's 25th overall division title, Prescott isn't satisfied.
Prescott was approached by television reporters after the win over Washington and asked why he wasn't wearing a "Dallas Cowboys NFC East Champions" hat or shirt.
Prescott replied, “I want something better.”
Prescott's message? Winning the East isn't good enough. His eyes are on a bigger prize.
The Cowboys have advanced to the Divisional Round of the playoffs just five times since their last Super Bowl win after the 1995 season - and lost each time.
Since Prescott joined the Cowboys as a fourth-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Dallas has made the playoffs just four times before this season, losing twice in the Wild Card round and twice in the Divisional Round.
Prescott knows the history. He knows what's at stake. The fact that the Cowboys have not sniffed a Super Bowl or NFC Championship game since 1996 is not lost on him.
So while it's OK to celebrate a regular-season goal like winning the division, we'll excuse his decision to not observe the achievement with a hat or shirt. He's got something much bigger in mind.
