“[These next three games], they will be defining,” said Prescott, the All-Pro quarterback not mincing words. “I don’t think there’s any if, ands or buts about it. Knowing where we put ourselves, what we have to do, yeah, after these three games, we’ll either have given ourselves a good shot or put ourselves in a hole. I don’t think that’ll really be a discussion.”
But, for now, it’s about handling one challenge at a time and taking another step forward on the journey of 1,000 miles.
“Understanding that for us to get into this postseason, what we have to do, and right now, sure, we control it,” Prescott added. “That means we have to win every game, and I like what CeeDee said. It’s like a playoff game, and whether it’s [head coach Brian Schottenheimer saying it’s [a 0-0 record], or however you want to think about it, all of these are must-wins. But we’ve got to take them one at a time.
“And, right now, it’s Philly — a hell of an opponent, great division rival. There’s no better place to start than right now.”
Should the Cowboys and their new-look defense fueled by the addition of Quinnen Williams and the return to action for DeMarvion Overshown take down the Eagles, it will mark Dallas’ first two-game win streak of the season, and they can’t get to where they want to go without it.
