00:00 Can we consider the Cowboys as early Super Bowl favorites?

00:03 Well, look, I think that the Chiefs are the Super Bowl favorites until proven otherwise,

00:07 but the Cowboys look like the best team in the league right now.

00:11 Their success is going to come down to Dak Prescott in the clutch moments,

00:15 and he was good against the Jets, but this is a team built off of its defense,

00:20 and one player in particular, Micah Parsons, who is about the most fearsome defensive player I've

00:27 ever seen in my life. You know, I just mentioned Patrick Mahomes. If I'm taking any non-quarterback

00:32 in the league right now to build a team around, it is Micah Parsons, and I might take him over

00:37 any player not named Patrick Mahomes. Poor Zach Wilson, he had about as much a chance as that

00:43 goat that was in the T-Rex enclosure in Jurassic Park going up against Parsons in that Dallas

00:48 defense. I always want to hold my breath when we're talking about the Cowboys playing in the

00:52 Super Bowl. The last time that the Cowboys made it to a conference championship was before I was

00:57 born, just to put things in perspective for you, but obviously playing really well right now,

01:01 2-0 on the season. They have outscored their opponents 70-10. Fun fact for you, the last time

01:07 that the Cowboys made it to the Super Bowl, they actually beat the Giants in week one, 35-0. Seems

01:13 a little reminiscent of what we saw in week one. Maybe history can repeat itself. I don't know.
