Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys failed once again in their quest to win the Super Bowl. Almost nobody expected a 48-32 loss in the Wild Card round against the Green Bay Packers at home.

For the first time in NFL history, a No.7 seed eliminated a No.2 seed in the playoffs. That’s why, head coach Mike McCarthy has been singled out as the main responsible of such a debacle.

Now, the future of the Dallas Cowboys is totally uncertain. Bill Belichick has suddenly emerged as a huge possibility to replace McCarthy and no one knows for sure if Prescott will get a big contract extension in the NFL.

“He’s been amazing (Mike McCarthy). I don’t know how there can be (speculation), but I understand the business. In that case, it should be about me as well honestly. I mean, that guy, I’ve had the season that I’ve had because of him. This team’s had the success that they’ve had because of him.”

Prescott went further by pointing out that if McCarthy is going to be judged for not winning the Super Bowl, the same measure should apply to him as the franchise quarterback.
