The Dallas Cowboys’ Super Bowl drought stretches back to 1995, with only five playoff victories to show since that championship season.
Following a lackluster 2024 campaign and despite Dak Prescott’s return from injury, expectations for 2025 remain tempered.
However, star defender Micah Parsons isn’t buying into the doom and gloom surrounding America’s Team.
Speaking on his podcast “The Edge with Micah Parsons,” the dynamic linebacker made a bold declaration that has Cowboys Nation buzzing.
He promised loyal fans that their patience would finally pay off next season with the franchise’s sixth Lombardi Trophy.
While Super Bowl aspirations are common across the NFL, from the Detroit Lions to the Kansas City Chiefs, such a definitive championship guarantee before training camp is rare.
“For the people that kept believing — because we are not done yet, we’re not done yet. And I hope that y’all don’t think we’re done yet. It’s going to be an amazing, amazing, amazing thing to see next year when we’re holding the trophy,” Parsons proclaimed.

His confidence didn’t stop there.
“Yes, it’s big goals, but I’m telling y’all right now it’s holding the trophy. I’m saying my prayers out loud. I’m saying my goals out loud so y’all can hear them. We’re going to be holding the trophy up next year.”
While the Cowboys boast talented players across their roster, the NFC landscape presents formidable obstacles to Parsons’ prediction.
The Detroit Lions have emerged as contenders, the Green Bay Packers show promise, and the Philadelphia Eagles remain a powerhouse in the conference.
Adding to the skepticism is Prescott’s playoff track record – a concerning 2-5 mark that raises questions about his ability to deliver in crucial moments.
