The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions once again after beating the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs in dominant fashion. Philadelphia rode a strong performance by the defense to a 34-0 lead and ultimately a 40-22 victory in their second Super Bowl appearance in three years.
Many of their best players will be returning next year so it's no surprise that they're the early favorites to win next year's Super Bowl. They hold a slight edge in odds over the Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills. The Detroit Lions are the closest NFC team in odds for a title next year behind Philadelphia.
But an Eagles division rival thinks they should be in the mix, too. When asked about how far away the Dallas Cowboys are from the Eagles, quarterback Dak Prescott said it's the Cowboys' turn for a Super Bowl title.
"I feel like we compete with Eagles and beat them for the most part," Prescott said. "I don't want to say check the record when the other guy is holding the trophy right now, so credit to them. They've earned it and they deserved it by all means."
Prescott noted how two of the Cowboys' division rivals competed for the NFC title this season, and Dallas is familiar with both.
"[We] feel confident about we've gotten the better part each and every time," he said. "To see [Philadelphia win] in such a dominating fashion, credit to them. It's our turn and it's on us."
The Cowboys will have an uphill battle to win the title next season. They'll have to come out on top against the likes of the Eagles, Washington Commanders and Lions, among other contenders. They'll also be doing so with a first-time head coach in Brian Schottenheimer.
Prescott suffered a hamstring injury during the 2024 season and missed the final nine games of the regular season.
Eagles vs. Cowboys head-to-head record
The Cowboys have enjoyed success against the Eagles with Prescott at quarterback. He has a career record of 9-4 against the Eagles, all coming in the regular season.
Since Prescott's rookie year in 2016, Dallas is 10-8 against the Eagles. The teams are tied in NFC East titles in that span with four each.
Dallas leads the head-to-head matchup all-time at 71-57 in the regular season and 3-1 in the playoffs.
