Cowboys' Smith: Super Bowl still the expectation
Briefly

Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl guard Tyler Smith expresses expectations for the team to become Super Bowl champions in 2025, highlighting the long absence from the championship game since 1995. The Cowboys finished last season with a 7-10 record and are under a new head coach, Brian Schottenheimer. They made roster improvements, including trading for wide receiver George Pickens and acquiring key defensive players. A healthy Dak Prescott is anticipated to positively impact the season, as the Cowboys' playoff success correlates with his participation.
"Super Bowl champions," Smith said as the team arrived at the StayBridge Suites in Oxnard, California following their flight from Dallas. "That's always the expectations."
The Cowboys have not played in a Super Bowl since 1995. Nor have they made it to an NFC Championship Game in the last 30 years, the only team in the conference with such a drought with the Washington Commanders and Detroit Lions making it each of the last two years.
I think it's a realistic goal, yeah," Smith said. "Because we can win a Super Bowl. Why not? Why can't we win?"
When Prescott has played most of a season, the Cowboys have made the playoffs in five of seven years.
