Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys got their first win of the season in Week 2, beating the New York Giants 40-37 in overtime on Sunday. Amid the Cowboys’ 1-1 start to the season, former Dallas quarterback Troy Aikman has urged Prescott to win more Super Bowls than Roger Staubach and himself combined.<\/p>\n

When Prescott was asked about Aikman’s comments, he had an interesting response.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I\u2019ve gotta get started then,\u201d Prescott said on Thursday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Aikman led Dallas to three Super Bowl wins. Meanwhile, Staubach won two Super Bowls with the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

Prescott is in his 10th year with the Cowboys. He has led the Cowboys to the playoffs five times. Prescott has a 2-5 record in the postseason, but has never guided Dallas past the divisional round.<\/p>\n

Prescott signed a four-year, $240 million extension with the Cowboys before the 2024 season. He is the highest-paid player in NFL history, earning $60 million in average annual value.<\/p>\n

However, there is pressure on Prescott to deliver success for Dallas, especially since the team last won the Super Bowl in 1996.<\/p>\n

If the Cowboys are to win the Super Bowl this season, Prescott will have to be at his best, given the high level of competition in the league.<\/p>\n

Dak Prescott and Dallas Cowboys will square off against the Chicago Bears in Week 3 of 2025 season<\/h2>\n

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys will face the Chicago Bears in Week 3 of the 2025 season on Sunday. The game will kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET from Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys suffered a 24-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1 before beating the Giants in Week 2.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Bears lost to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 before suffering a crushing 52-21 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 2.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys will want to build on their win from Week 2, while Chicago will want to end its losing run.<\/p>\n
