CeeDee Lamb isn’t mincing words for the 2026 NFL season. The Cowboys star wide receiver just laid it out on Thursday, telling reporters he wants his team “to proclaim dominance” this year. This ain’t just talk, either. Lamb made it clear he’s ready to “put it into action,” and you gotta love that fire from a player with his talent.
Dak Prescott’s “Why Not Now?” Mentality
But Lamb isn’t the only one pushing the envelope with sky-high expectations. Quarterback Dak Prescott has been even more vocal about taking home the championship. He’s not shying away from any “Super Bowl talk,” declaring “Why not now?” Prescott told reporters at the start of training camp that he’s actually manifesting a Super Bowl win, even setting phone alarms labeled “Super Bowl 61.” How wild is that? Most guys would keep that kinda stuff quiet, but Prescott? Nah, he’s putting it all out there. He told Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer in August that he doesn’t care what outsiders think. “I don’t know if it’s just getting older, having kids and blatantly not giving a f–k what other people think,” he said, questioning why anyone would be hesitant to state their goal. Prescott also told Yahoo Sports’ Jori Epstein last month he’s “as urgent as I’ve ever felt” to win a Super Bowl.
Confidence After a Long Drought
You know, the Cowboys haven’t exactly been tearing it up in the postseason. They’ve got a seriously long Super Bowl drought, and they haven’t even reached the NFC Championship Game since they last won it all way back in 1995. That’s a brutal run for a franchise with their history. So, why all this confidence now? Well, last year’s offense was one of the best in the league with Prescott, Lamb, and George Pickens absolutely thriving together. That connection isn’t going anywhere. Plus, they went out and bolstered their defense this offseason, especially after that unit posted some rough numbers in 2025. Yeah, there’s a ton of competition in the league, but on paper, this roster is absolutely capable of making a deep run.
The Cowboys kick off their season this Sunday in New York, where they’re 2.5-point favorites against the Giants, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Can they back up all that talk from Lamb and Prescott? It all starts when that whistle blows.
