With weight of the Dallas Cowboys on his shoulders, will Dak Prescott meet Super Bowl expectations? | calvinwatkins
The Cowboys quarterback agreed to it when he signed the largest contract in franchise history.
You could say it’s unfair to place the pressure of a Super Bowl run on one man, but that’s the deal for every Cowboys quarterback. Troy Aikman took over the role and delivered. He won three Super Bowl titles as the Cowboys became the team of the 1990s. In six NFL seasons, Prescott is 1-2 in the postseason, but his teams have failed to reach the playoffs the past two seasons. Last season, Prescott suffered a fractured ankle in a Week 5 victory over the New York Giants and entered the offseason without a long-term deal.
He played without many of his playmakers because of injury or illness, including Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup and Tyron Smith. Starting running back Ezekiel Elliott has dealt with a nicked up knee since October and change-of-pace back Tony Pollard will participate in the playoffs with a torn plantar fascia.
