Philadelphia dominated the Kansas City Chiefs in the big game on Sunday, winding up 40-22 victors in New Orleans.
While they also beat the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC Championship game and stitched together a superb 14-3 regular season.
Meanwhile the Cowboys, who are in the NFC East with the Eagles and the Commanders, put together a 7-10 regular season and lost 41-7 and 34-6 to Philly in the process.
Despite that, QB Prescott reckons his Dallas team aren’t far off the Eagles.
Speaking to the media at a Children’s Cancer Fund event in Dallas, he said: “I feel like we compete with the Eagles and beat them, for the most part, when we play them.
“I don’t want to say, ‘Check the record,’ when they’re the guys holding the (Lombardi) Trophy right now. Credit to them. They earned it and they deserve it, by all means.”
Adding: “To see them (do it) in such a dominating fashion, credit to them. It’s our turn, and it’s on us.”
Prescott, 31, has an impressive 9-4 record over the Eagles during his career, but has been unable to lead the Cowboys to the NFC Championship game in that time.
Meanwhile the Eagles have made the Super Bowl three times, winning it in 2018 and 2025.
Dallas will be all change next season after Brian Schottenheimer was announced as the new head coach of the franchise following Mike McCarthy’s Texas exit.
Prescott has said he is excited for Schottenheimer, who has been working with the Cowboys as an Offensive Coordinator since 2023.
He said: “Super excited for him, this opportunity.
“Obviously, I’ve worked with him the last couple of years, understanding the type of man he is, the way that he approaches the game.
“I think the best way to exemplify that is he is the son of a legendary coach.
“He’s not going to take anything about this game lightly. He enjoys the work in it, kind of old-fashioned.”
