The Dallas Cowboys are set to host the San Francisco 49ers in their Wild Card matchup. The Sunday afternoon game is expected to be the closest and highest-scoring game of the week, making it a must-watch.
There is arguably more pressure for the Cowboys than any other team in the playoffs (except maybe the Super Bowl reigning champions, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), and quarterback Dak Prescott knows it. He knows how much people expect from his team going into the postseason run, and he thrives under pressure, according to this article from The Athletic.
The article states that Prescott views pressure as a privilege, and said this ahead of their first playoff game:
“I don’t necessarily know why people have labeled the word pressure as such a bad thing, honestly…I think it creates high expectations and high standards, and they usually create high results.”
On Thursday, the Cowboys quarterback spoke to the media about the legitimacy of the Wild Card matchup. He said it will be a “dog fight” and a “war,” and his team is ready for the challenge.
If the Cowboys can defeat the 49ers at home on Sunday, they will advance in the playoff competition and take on the winner of the Arizona Cardinals vs Los Angeles Rams.
