Dak Prescott and the Cowboys are over the moon. After a close game that ended in defeat against the Green Bay Packers, owner Jerry Jones was a frustrated man. But, the Cowboys came back with vengeance by taking down the Minnesota Vikings 40-3. Not many saw this victory coming, especially after Minnesota’s exhilarating win over the Buffalo Bills. The Vikings who were 8-1 before the game, were taken down a peg and, quite frankly, humiliated by the Cowboys.
This victory has done more than put a smile on the Cowboys owner’s face. Jones took it up a notch by stating that the Cowboys are Super Bowl contenders. The idea is not far-fetched. Dallas is behind their divisional leaders, the Philadelphia Eagles, by two games. With their victory over the Vikings, the Cowboys successfully took down the only other team in the conference, apart from the Eagles, with more wins. Jones said, “I sure do think that what I see out here right now is the team like that you could go get a Super Bowl with.” The Cowboys owner unequivocally believes in his team’s chances this season.
