The game of the day on Christmas’ Eve was going to be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Which-were-the-Dallas-Cowboys-players-selected-to-the-2023-Pro-Bowl-Games-20221222-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas</a> vs <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Gardner-Minshews-profile-Age-height-contract-career-stats-and-social-media-20221223-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia</a>. One of the best rivalries in the league took place on Saturday, and the Cowboys beat the now 13-2 Eagles in a result that sent them forward as Super Bowl contenders. Find out what Hall of Fame WR Michael Irvin said about their possibilities.
It was a game last Saturday in Dallas that was full of emotions until the end. The NFC East seemed a bit over given the lead the Eagles had coming into that week, but a match between these franchises is always fun.
Late struggles put a lot of doubts on if the Cowboys are a top team in the NFL. Although after defeating Philadelphia, the Super Bowl contender talk went back to the surface. Dallas icon, Hall of Fame wide receiver Irvin shared his opinion on his team.
<h2>What did Michael Irvin say about the Cowboys as Super Bowl contenders?</h2>
Some may rightfully think that the absence of quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Why-is-Jalen-Hurts-not-playing-for-the-Philadelphia-Eagles-against-the-Dallas-Cowboys-20221222-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jalen Hurts</a> was a major factor in their loss. It is still a clash most people want to see in the playoffs, especially because the starting quarterbacks haven’t played vs each other this season due to their respective injuries.
Postseason losses in recent times make most pump the brakes when it comes to the Cowboys as contenders, but that is not the case for Irvin. The Hall of Fame wide receiver said this in a video posted on Inside the NFL’s Instagram account before going on-air.
<blockquote>
“Are the Cowboys really Super Bowl contenders? Super Bowl bound? We only get these kinds of questions when it’s the Cowboys at the top. When any other team is at the top, we always say ‘they are a top team, obviously they are a Super Bowl team, Super Bowl bound’. But when the Cowboys get to the top, because they just beat the top team”.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
“In my mind if you beat the best, that means you are the best team. So right now, the Cowboys get to be the best at least in the NFC. Their record is 7-1 against teams with winning records. Those are the same teams they have to go through, and they have already done it this season. The best team in the NFL right now. Dallas Cowboys”.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/dallas-cowboys-t34860" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a> got off to a surprising start to the season and have been one of the most balanced teams in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a>. Nonetheless, they’ll have a tough time when they meet the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/las-vegas-raiders-t102109" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a>, as their roster will be quite decimated.
Ezekiel Elliott continues to deal with a nagging knee injury and has been a limited participant in this week’s practices, so expect Tony Pollard to handle as many touches as he can on Thanksgiving.
CeeDee Lamb will most likely be out with a concussion and Amari Cooper has already been ruled out with COVID-19. That’s why team legend Michael Irvin went on a full rant to call him out <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/cowboys-jerry-jones-rips-amari-cooper-for-not-being-vaccinated-20211124-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">for not being vaccinated.</a>

<h2>Cowboys News: Michael Irvin Rips Amari Cooper For Not Getting The Vaccine</h2>
“I don’t know what word to put on it, but I am absolutely hot about it,” Irvin told TMZ Sports.“Are you joking? I got a guy named Cedrick Wilson catching passes who makes $2 million and a guy named Noah Brown who makes $1 million? And I got a guy who makes $21 million, on the bench, at home, not playing. It’s crazy.”
“Our job as athletes is to try to remove any reason of not winning the Super Bowl,” the Cowboys legend added. “It’s why I condition, so fatigue isn’t the reason that I lose the Super Bowl. It’s why I go over plays a million timesso that a mistake is not the reason why I lose the Super Bowl. You have to try to mitigate any issue that can cost you a game or a Super Bowl. And COVID is one of them. You go get vaccinated to try to mitigate it as best you can.”
“Now, you can still get it after you get vaccinated, but it’s a different percentage chance of you getting it. And I need you to get that different percentage chance. I’m so hot for Amari Cooper not being on that,” he concluded.

Irvin believes that the team’s goal of winning another ring should be above Cooper’s personal choice. Whatever is the case, the Cowboys will have to get by without him for the foreseeable future.

Cowboys legend Michael Irvin blasts Amari Cooper for not getting the vaccine

In a blink of an eye, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/aaron-rodgers-t119902" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> was all over the news but not for the best reasons. After testing positive to Covid-19, it was found out that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/green-bay-packers-t97065" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Green Bay Packers</a> quarterback was not vaccinated.
The drama sparked mostly because it was understood that Rodgers was actually inoculated as he suggested a few months ago that he had taken the vaccine jab. Now, he’ll have to sit out for at least 10 days.
That means he’ll miss Sunday’s game against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/patrick-mahomes-t94559" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/kansas-city-chiefs-t102104" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, and depending on how this situation unfolds, he may also miss Week 10’s matchup with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/seattle-seahawks-t90768" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a>. But he probably won’t spend these days without receiving heavy criticism for his behavior.

<h2>NFL legend rips Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers for not getting the Covid-19 vaccine</h2>
The news came as a shock to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> community as Rodgers had previouslyhinted he got the vaccine, even though he never said thatclearly andused the word ‘immunized‘ instead. Besides, he also indicated to understand those players who were reluctant to get the shot.
What Rodgers understood for being immunized was facing an alternative, homeopathic treatment against the Covid-19. But that doesn’t count as being vaccinated for theleague. He’ll be out this weekend, and Pro Football Hall of Famer <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/espn-analyst-explains-why-lebron-james-not-tom-brady-is-the-ultimate-playmaker-20210909-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Irvin</a> blasted Rodgers for this situation.
“I can’t even start in on Aaron Rodgers,” Irvin said in his podcastThe Michael Irvin Podcast, as quoted byThe Spun. “Because I know you did not hold out this whole offseason, holding everybody accountable and saying everybody is falling short and not doing what they’re supposed to do, and you’re not vaccinated? Come on man. Cut that mess out. That blows my mind.
 
<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-88"> </div>
</div>

“Aaron Rodgers, shame on you for pointing that one finger at [general manager]Brian Gutekunst and all these people in the front office and disregarding those damn three fingers that’s pointing back at you. Go get vaccinated man and stop messing around. Stop playing around man. You know the team needs you.”
This controversial situation doesn’t come in great timing for the Packers, who have to face a tough rival in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-2021-22-week-9-schedule-list-of-games-for-the-ninth-week-of-the-season-20211103-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Week 9</a>. And everyone will have their own thoughts on whether Rodgers should have got the vaccine or not. But we can all agree thatthis mess could have been avoided if he made everything clear from the beginning.
