Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is in Minneapolis this weekend pushing Campbell's Chunky Soup, one of myriad products he endorses. Dallas and Prescott started the 2017 season with hopes of being there to play in the Super Bowl. Instead, of course, it's the New England Patriots and the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles who will meet in Sunday's big game.

Is that hard to handle for Prescott, who is coming off a bumpy second season after he could do little wrong in his rookie year?

"It's an in-division team, it's a rivalry, you never want those guys to win," Prescott said Friday during an interview on The Newy Scruggs Show on NBC Sports Radio. "I've got to pull for Brady. But in saying that, those guys [Eagles] didn't make the playoffs, they were in last place last year. To bounce back, to be in the Super Bowl this year is incredible.

"Honestly, the Cowboys, me personally, want to take a page out of their book of not being in the playoffs and being able to bounce back and make it to the Super Bowl within a year. So I give them credit for that."

If that's to happen, part of the process will include a new quarterbacks coach for Prescott. The Cowboys didn't extend the contract of longtime coach Wade Wilson and former backup Kellen Moore is ending his playing days to take over the job. While that's raised some questions because Moore, who was demoted to the practice squad last season, has never coached before, Prescott is all for it.

"I'm a big fan of Kellen Moore," Prescott said on the radio program. " I pushed for that, and I know he helped me so much throughout the season, both seasons actually. He's just so smart. I told him when he became a college coach and I had a kid my son had no choice of who he was going to play for. I'm excited I get to play under him now and I'm excited for him to take this role as a coach and I know he'll be really good at it."

Will having such a good relationship help?

"It will help a lot," Prescott said. "We have a great relationship. The moment he became quarterback coach, we shared a message and I told him exactly the things I wanted to push me and challenge me and I know he's going to do that. He's so smart, he knows the game so well, he can only benefit me."
