The Dallas Cowboys are looking frisky early in the Brian Schottenheimer era. Dallas is 1-1 ahead of a favorable matchup against Chicago in Week 3. One Cowboys legend believes that quarterback Dak Prescott is a huge reason behind the team’s success so far.<\/p>\n

Troy Aikman heaped praise on Prescott during a recent interview on 96.7 The Ticket.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been impressed with Dak, certainly Week 1 and what he was able to do and then this last game,\u201d Aikman said on Thursday, per The Athletic’s Jon Machota. \u201cHe\u2019s always had good energy. He\u2019s always had good body language and all that on the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in addition to just how well he\u2019s played, I just sense that there\u2019s a confidence about him in the way in which he\u2019s playing that I don\u2019t want to say I haven\u2019t seen it before. But I just feel like he\u2019s really dialed in and feeling good about where this offense is going, the way that it\u2019s playing, and the way he\u2019s playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aikman added that Prescott must \u201cfeel really good\u201d about Dallas’ play calling to exude such confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just seems to be a pretty good fit right now for Dak and what I\u2019ve seen just as a casual observer,\u201d Aikman added.<\/p>\n

Prescott had a great performance in Week 2 against the Giants. He passed for 361 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He also had a 73.1% completion percentage, showcasing his command of Dallas’ new scheme.<\/p>\n

Cowboys fans should expect another strong Prescott game against the Bears in Week 3.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Aikman wishes nothing but the best for the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

Dallas has not had much postseason success since their glory days with Aikman in the 1990s. But he is still hopeful that Prescott can usher in a new era of success in Dallas.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 I love Dak. There\u2019s nothing I\u2019d rather see than see him go on and win a Super Bowl and win multiple Super Bowls, and win more than me, and Roger (Staubach) and all of us combined, if possible,\u201d Aikman concluded, \u201cbecause he\u2019s that type of guy, and he represents himself and the organization and really our city so well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first step towards making that happen in 2025 is simply earning a playoff spot.<\/p>\n
