The Dallas Cowboys went 12-5 in three straight seasons from 2021 to 2023, with those 36 regular-season wins being the most in the NFC and the second-most in the NFL. That only trailed the Kansas City Chiefs (37 wins), who won two Super Bowls during that span. However, Dallas took a major step back in the 2024 NFL season, going 7-10 and missing the playoffs, which led to the franchise replacing Mike McCarthy with his former offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as head coach.

Despite the regression, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott doesn’t see his team as being far off from divisional rival, the Philadelphia Eagles. Just hours after Philly hoisted the Lombardi Trophy after defeating those Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, Prescott said the 7-10 Cowboys, with a first-time head coach, are very close to the newest Super Bowl champions.
