Dak Prescott aims higher than playoffs; Phil Mafah ready to compete

Dak Prescott expressed that merely reaching the playoffs is not sufficient for the Dallas Cowboys in 2026. He aims for greater achievements, motivated by the improvements in the team's defense. Running back Phil Mafah, who mostly missed the 2025 season due to injury, now has the chance to establish himself as a viable backup to Javonte Williams. Both Mafah and Jaydon Blue are receiving increased practice reps with the starters, indicating a competitive environment for the RB2 position. The Cowboys are looking to solidify their roster as they prepare for the upcoming season.
