Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott delivered a bold message to Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke during their preseason encounter on Saturday. After the Rams’ 31-21 preseason victory over Dallas at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, Prescott was captured telling Kroenke,

“We’ll meet y’all in the NFC Championship,”

signaling his belief that both teams will face off in the 2025 NFC title game. This declaration highlights Prescott’s confidence in his team‘s prospects despite recent struggles.

Context Behind Prescott’s Playoff Forecast

The Rams narrowly missed the NFC Championship last season after a Divisional round exit against the Philadelphia Eagles, making Prescott’s prediction somewhat plausible from that standpoint. Conversely, the Cowboys are coming off a disappointing 7-10 season hampered by injuries, and their training camp has started with challenges that raise concerns about their upcoming performance. Given these difficulties, many see Dallas as the underdog in this expected NFC showdown.

Pressure Rises on Cowboys Amid Uncertain Outlook

Prescott’s confident statement places additional pressure on the Cowboys, a team still trying to overcome a tough season and preseason hurdles. Previous bold comments by players in similar situations have sometimes backfired, making Prescott’s prediction a risky gamble. Fans and analysts alike will be closely watching to see if Dallas can elevate their play and validate their quarterback’s ambitious forecast for a deep playoff run.
