Key takeaways 4
Michael Irvin predicts the Dallas Cowboys will finish the regular season 13-4, citing the cultural shift under new head coach Mike McCarthy and the leadership of George Pickens as key factors for team cohesion.
Irvin compares the Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett defensive line duo to the Reggie White and Jerome Brown pairing he faced in the 90s, noting that both pairs were so intimidating that opposing linemen would feign injuries to avoid playing against them.
The Cowboys' new 'Gotti' mentality and full-team camp attendance have allowed them to set specific offensive goals early, unlike previous years where injuries delayed strategic planning until late in the season.
Irvin believes the New York Giants will be a vastly different, tougher team by the end of the season due to the maturation of young talent and the rooting of Brian Daboll's culture, predicting a loss for Dallas in Week 17.
