The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl in surprising fashion over the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22, in New Orleans on Sunday, Feb. 9.
The stunning victory has fans of NFL teams nationwide daydreaming about a similarly meteoric rise to the top of the heap with the Dallas Cowboys recently mentioned as a possible sleeper team.
The Cowboys hired Brian Schottenheimer to right their ship this offseason and are expected to return key stars including Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons in pursuit of their sixth Super Bowl win.
The offseason changes nudged Fox Sports analyst Emmanuel Acho to proclaim that the Cowboys are just one offseason away from a similar postseason feat.
"STOP COMPARING US PLEASE!!!" Gardner-Johnson wrote on his X account, adding a tweet of the original video revealing Acho's comments.

Last season, Nick Siranni's Eagles scored 463 points on the season compared to 350 for the Eagles.
Philadelphia gave up 303 points on the season compared to 391 for the Cowboys, suggesting coach Schottenheimer's team is a wide margin away from becoming the same kind of team.
The Eagles' high powered offense steamrolled over the Cowboys in two meetings between the NFC North franchises, outscoring Dallas by 62 combined points in two easy victories, a trend Schottenheimer and his staff will hope to reverse.
