The Cowboys’ eternally long Super Bowl drought is well-covered ground by this point. But every once in a while, the subject of postseason disappointment gets put into a new perspective, even for Cowboys players who hear it all the time. When Dak Prescott realized that defensive tackle Quinnen Williams has never even been to the playoffs in his NFL career, it inspired a deal between the two. Prescott says he’ll get the team to the dance… but he’s going to need Williams to help win it.
The rest of the Dallas defense will, of course, be a key component as well. In today’s headlines, we go inside the (literal) old-school ways that Christian Parker is making sure his guys are getting the new scheme down, Caleb Downs is still winning accolades from his college playing days, and we go deep to find out what the newest UFL project might bring to the revamped secondary.
Also, Jake Ferguson was married over the weekend. Find out what he gave his groomsmen as gifts and which former Cowboys teammate actually performed the wedding ceremony.
It was perhaps the biggest sports moment to ever happen inside the Cowboys’ home building, but not a single player from the team was even on the field. Lionel Messi set a new World Cup record at the temporarily-renamed “Dallas Stadium” on Monday with a pair of highlights that were seen worldwide. More from the FIFA tournament, with an entire fleet of drones seized for getting too close to the stadium, and Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer offering his take on the changes that the World Cup has brought to his team’s venue.
Elsewhere in NFL news, Brandon Aiyuk is dropping cryptic clues hinting at a move to the NFC East, Sauce Gardner has- bizarrely- had to clear up how old he is, and the Browns’ decision to trade away Myles Garrett adds to the city of Cleveland’s longstanding football misery… says a guy who knows all too well about that fanbase’s patient loyalty.
