SAN FRANCISCO –Ever since their Super Bowl victories in the 1990s, theDallas Cowboyshave been the practical definition of mediocre.
The team has yet to make it to an NFC championship game since it wonthe 1996 Super Bowlthree decades ago, but the top receiver from that team, Michael Irvin, sees the vision.
�love[s] the direction Coach is going in.”

“I love what he’s done with the offense, ’cause we found the offense.Now, we just got to solidify and make sure it gets more consistent.And being able to put up 30, 35 points a game,” Irvin said of the star-studded group that includesDak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Javonte Williams.
Thedefense was the clear weaknessthroughout this season, but Irvin doesn’t want anyone sleeping on them.
“Now, withQuinnen Williams and Kenny Clarkup the middle, dude, we got a force coming up the middle of the field.We gotta solidify that defense,” Irvin said.
Then came a bold prediction.

“The Cowboys can be in this game next year.We could be sitting here talking about the Cowboys in this game next year, and I want you to find me and make sure you say to me, ‘You said this.You said, Michael, you said, they could be here.’
“They will be here.I want you to find me.”
Cowboys fans daring enough to ride along with Irvin can do it onHard Rock Bet, which has had a long-standing relationship with the Hall of Famer.
”It’s home, it’s Florida.I’m from Florida.You look back.I’ve had such a great friendship and alignment with them for so long.I did my Hall of Fame party at the Hard Rock, and, of course, Miami plays at the Hard Rock, so I’m always there with them.There’s a natural partnership,” Irvin said.
