Dak Prescott doesn’t back down from the challenge of winning a title.
FRISCO, Texas – Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has never shied away from the fact that each season, he and his teammates have one goal: Win the Super Bowl.
When Super Bowl LXI comes around on February 14, 2027, it’ll be over 31 years since Dallas last hoisted the Lombardi trophy. Regardless of the results of years past, the expectation to be at the top of the NFL remains the same for Prescott, who will play his 11th season with the Cowboys in 2026.

It was then that Gary told his mother that he wanted to put his Michigan degree from the Ross School of Business to good use. He wanted to start his own branding and marketing agency for athletes, including himself. He wanted to start Rashan Gary Sports.
Before doing so, however, Gary asked his mom a question.
“Mom, you got faith in me?” Coney remembers her son saying at the time. She then responded, “Always.”
Which is why she’s inclined to believe her son’s latest plans, too.
Gary is in the midst of a career transition. The former first-round pick was traded to the Cowboys this offseason after spending the first seven years of his career in Green Bay. He played well with the Packers. He’s...
