The Cowboys have not played in the NFC championship game since 1996, the year they won their last Super Bowl. Prescott, entering his 10th year with the franchise, appears eager to break Dallas’ 29-year drought.

Meanwhile, the Rams last played in the NFC championship game in 2022, when they beat the San Francisco 49ers before going on to win the Super Bowl.

Since signing a four-year, $240 million contract extension with the Cowboys in 2024, Prescott has been under pressure to deliver postseason success. He suffered a season-ending hamstring injury after eight games last season but appears to have made a full recovery ahead of the 2025 regular season.

"I thought it was a good scrimmage," Prescott said. "It was one of those ones where I left not feeling great about it, but you look on film, there's a lot more good than I thought."
"It was one of those things if we had actually schemed them, if we actually had a chance to game plan, I would have felt fantastic with the results."

The Cowboys will play their second preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens on Aug. 16 and their third against the Atlanta Falcons on Aug. 22.

It remains to be seen whether Prescott will get any snaps in the remaining preseason games, but he is expected to start in the regular season.
