Dak Prescott spoke with reporters this week and provided an update on his health as he continues to recover from season-ending hamstring surgery.

“My health is good,” he said, via the New York Times. “I’m doing a lot more. I’m getting there. I’m really looking to amp it up here. I got all my confidence. We’ll be fine.”

The only thing worse than watching the division-rival Eagles win Super Bowl LIX for Cowboys fans is the fact the team hasn't even come close in nearly 30 years.

"I thought we had more in us and I thought we would be back. Obviously, we weren't," Aikman said. "But not only were we not back, but here we are almost three decades later and no one has been back. I think I speak for the Cowboys faithful in saying that it's been a long time and this is the Dallas Cowboys.

"It's an organization that has had a great history and this team has won a lot of games over the years with a lot of different players but for whatever reasons they just haven't been able to get it done in the postseason. I don't think anybody is happy about that."
