Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson guarantees a win over the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 7 tilt. Cowboys players and coach Jason Garrett could care less about his comments.
Garrett didn't say much in response to Pederson's comments.
“My response is we’re excited about the challenge,” Garrett said Monday, per ESPN. “Obviously, they’re a great football team, and we’re going to focus on ourselves and what we need to do to prepare to play our best football on Sunday night.”
Pederson stated, “we’re gonna win that football game, and when we do, we’re in first place in the NFC East.” Though, he did claim in the press conference later that day that he never used the word “guarantee.” Nonetheless, the Cowboys could still care less.
“Honestly, it doesn’t bother me,” cornerback Jourdan Lewis said, via ESPN. “That’s what you’re supposed to do. You’re supposed to come out here and try to beat us. I mean, he said it publicly. Doesn’t matter. I mean we already understood that there was going to be questions on it, but we’ve got to go out there and execute and win this game. We have to go out there and play our best game.”
It's just talking, as those on the Cowboys reaffirm.
“It's always funny when you hear people talk. We don't really feed off people talking. But it's always funny just to see people talking,” said right tackle La'el Collins, per ESPN.
In all, the Eagles haven't been particularly successful against the Cowboys under Pederson. Coach Garrett is 4-2 against Pederson, with one loss coming in 2017 end-of-the-season game in which starters were sat.
