Dak Prescott may be putting in the work this offseason, but the internet has taken the results a little too far.
A photo circulating from the Bussin With the Boys account makes the Dallas Cowboys quarterback look absurdly bulky, but the image is fake. Prescott is in strong shape and has plenty of muscle tone, just not the cartoonishly jacked version that the edited picture tries to sell.
The account captioned the post, “Dak Prescott is looking JACKED going into this season 👀,” and it wasn’t the first time this offseason it had done something like that. Earlier, the same account shared another edited image that made Prescott’s arms look much bigger than they really are.
Prescott, who is set to start for the Cowboys at quarterback in 2026, has bigger things on his mind than viral photos. He said earlier this summer that missing the playoffs the last two years “(stinks),” and made clear that getting back in is the standard.
“Definitely. But we’re pushing.
That’s our goal, that’s a minimum. When you have a team like this and they’ve done everything they have in the offseason, obviously we got to push and get better on offense, but when we know we’re already improving on defense, that’s the minimum.
That’s everybody’s goal in here.”
He also pointed to Quinnen Williams as part of that drive.
“To hear [Quinnen Williams] say he’s never been to the playoffs, that’s what you want to do it for,” Prescott said. “And that’s what I told him.
I said, “‘I’ll get you the playoffs. I’m going to need you to go help us win it.'”
The Cowboys will open the 2026 season against the Giants on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 1.

Mike McCarthy Might Hand Cowboys A Backfield Chance They Desperately Need
Mike McCarthys move to Pittsburgh has already created an odd little ripple for the Cowboys, because one of the names worth watching in that Steelers backfield is Kaleb Johnson. The 2024 third-round pick is trying to carve out a backup role behind Rico Dowdle and Jaylen Warren, and with the room crowded around him, his path in Pittsburgh has become one of the more interesting camp battles to follow.
For Dallas, the intrigue is obvious. The Cowboys have been searching for backfield help, and Johnson is the kind of young runner who could become available if Pittsburgh decides to move in a different direction. He was a highly regarded part of the 2024 draft class and flashed the kind of production at Iowa that made him worth a close look, so if the door opens, Dallas would have a reason to be ready.

Cowboys Fans Still Talk About This Texas Stadium Playoff Takeover
Texas Stadium had a way of turning playoff afternoons into part football game, part memory test, and the Cowboys gave their fans another one to keep in the early 1980s. In a second-round matchup from the strike-shortened 1982 season, Dallas handled Green Bay 37-26, with the kind of defensive edge that fit the era and the kind of flair that made Tom Landry teams so hard to forget.
Dennis Thurman was at the center of it with a three-interception performance, and the Cowboys also slipped in one of those creative Landry-era wrinkles that still gets passed around whenever old Texas Stadium stories come up. Between the takeaways and the improvisation, it was the sort of postseason win that helped define how Dallas wanted to be remembered in that stretch, and why fans still bring it up whenever the building and the old playoff runs get mentioned together.
