Brian Schottenheimer Reveals Cowboys' Super Bowl Goal

For most, hearing the Dallas Cowboys and Super Bowl in the same sentence feels like a punchline to a joke.

The franchise hasn't sniffed an NFC Championship game in three decades, but yet here we are talking about a Super Bowl?

That's what every team strives for, and only one out of the 32 teams in the league will be the ones hoisting that Lombardi trophy at seasons end.

But just because the Cowboys haven't been close to a championship game in 30 years doesn't mean they'll follow a similar path in 2026, right? Well, for some, that is foolish thinking.

However, inside the building as rookie minicamp got underway, the Cowboys aren't afraid to talk Super Bowl, and even head coach Brian Schottenheimer feels better talking about it as he enters Year 2 in the big chair.

“I've never shied away from it that, that's the goal, never will,” Schottenheimer said. “I'm more comfortable talking about it now because I do feel like this team is built to where I feel even better going into year two. Thrilled about the defensive changes that we've made, elated about how the draft went. I started that with the veterans as well. Super Bowl 61, February 14th, 2027, that's where we plan on being.

“That's a tall task, and we have to clean up a number of things that we need to improve on from last year and that starts with protecting the football and taking it away. It was proven this year by both Seattle and New England that if you didn't qualify for the playoffs the previous year, it doesn't mean you can't get to the big game.”
