Dak Prescott Aims for Super Bowl Glory as Cowboys' Longest-Tenured QB
June 13, 2025
Entering his 10th season as the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, Dak Prescott is determined to win a Super Bowl title.
As the longest-tenured player on the team, Prescott ranks among the top five in franchise history for wins, passing yards, and passing touchdowns.
The Cowboys have not won a Super Bowl since 1995 and have not reached a conference championship since their Super Bowl 30 victory.
Interestingly, Prescott has not started in a conference championship game during his nine NFL seasons, a unique statistic as no quarterback has won a Super Bowl with their drafting team without such starts.
Despite leading the Cowboys to the playoffs five times, Prescott has a disappointing postseason record of 2-5, one of the worst in NFL history for quarterbacks with five or more starts.
Prescott emphasizes that his focus is on winning a championship rather than on his legacy, stating, "The legacy will take care of itself."
He is committed to team success and personal fulfillment, which he believes are more important than individual accolades.
In the previous season, he was the runner-up in the MVP voting, contributing to the Cowboys' consistent performance with a 12-5 record for three consecutive seasons.
Last year, Prescott signed a four-year, $240 million extension, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history, which adds pressure to succeed.
After missing nine games last season due to a hamstring injury, he completed the offseason program without issues and is set to be fully cleared for contact by late July 2025.
In his rookie year of 2016, Prescott helped the Cowboys achieve the best record in the conference, but playoff appearances since then have not progressed past wild-card weekend.
Cowboys' offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has praised Prescott's work ethic and dedication, stressing that the focus has been on wins rather than legacy.
