Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys are ready to try again in pursuit of a Super Bowl trip

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys are ready to try again in pursuit of a Super Bowl trip DALLAS COWBOYS (13-6)EXPECTATIONS: The Cowboys are way overdue for their next trip to the NFC championship game. The most recent time Dallas made it that far was the 1995 season, when the franchise won its fifth Super Bowl title. The past two seasons could be considered progress. The Cowboys lost a wild-card game at home to San Francisco two years ago before beating Tom Brady and Tampa Bay in that round last season. The 49ers eliminated Dallas again, this time in the divisional round. Anything short of that will be a setback this season. Mike McCarthy is taking over play-calling duties in his fourth year as Dallas coach, an intriguing development going into QB Dak Prescott’s eighth season. While RB Ezekiel Elliott is gone, WR Brandin Cooks gives Prescott a legitimate deep threat to go with No. 1 receiver CeeDee Lamb. Pass rushing star Micah Parsons is in his third season as the club’s best defensive player. Dallas traded for Cooks and CB Stephon Gilmore, who gives the Co...

Coach Prime not worked up about his offensive or defensive lines or his Colorado coaching debut BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Deion Sanders isn’t getting worked up about his Colorado head coaching debut this weekend. Nor does he share in his detractors’ concerns about his players in the trenches.Sanders went 27-6 in three seasons at Jackson State before he was hired at Colorado, which is coming off a 1-11 season yet is one of the more intriguing teams in college football thanks to Coach Prime’s arrival and roster makeover.He makes his Power Five coaching debut Saturday at No. 17 TCU, the national runner-up a year ago.“I know it may seem like it, but it’s not about me,” Sanders said. “And you talking about a big stage. I think I played in the Super Bowl and the World Series. I’m good. I’m good. I’m straight. This is about the kids, man. I want them to go out there and maximize the moment and take advantage of the exposure in the light that they have. And I feel like they will 100%.”He’s equally convinced his offensive line will hold up for his son and star...
