The Dallas Cowboys defeated the GOAT, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild card round of the playoffs. While they were the clear favorites going into the game, the fans could not help but fear following their postseason form. America’s team won a playoff game for the first time since 2018.

With a 31-14 victory under their belt, the team is looking much more confident now. On the other hand, their divisional round rivals, the San Francisco 49ers, are going to be a much more difficult side to come up against. The Bay Area representatives have a lot of firepower at their disposal. But NFL legend and Dallas supporter, Michael Irvin has delivered a pep talk fit for the occasion.

Michael Irvin fires up the Dallas Cowboys

The iconic wide receiver capitalized on the platform of the NFL Network’s pregame show to deliver a message to ‘them Cowboys’. First player to receive some advice from the Super Bowl winner was LB Micah Parsons, who will be coming up against his counterpart in Nick Bosa who is the favorite for the DPOY following his season with the Niners.

“You make sure that he cannot outplay you. If he hits your quarterback once, you hit his quarterback twice. That’s what you do.” Irvin screamed at a photo of Parsons.

The electrifying speech covered many bases with multiple players, like CeeDee Lamb, Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard and Dak Prescott.

He told the QB to be cautious about his tendency to throw a pick. Prescott led the league in interceptions in the regular season. Simply telling Dak to leave the Clark Kent at the bench and bring the same level of performance he did against the Bucs where he had 4 TDs to snap the team’s losing streak against Brady. “You do too much like you did against the GOAT.”
