Only one team can win the Super Bowl and be called a champion. Jerry Jones clearly hopes that team ends up being the Dallas Cowboys.
Every owner has the same ambitions. But, at the same time, most would be happy simply with a playoff berth. Well, except for Jones.

Everyone, including Jerry Jones, should aspire to win the Super Bowl, but the Cowboys shouldn't get ahead of themselves. They haven't won a playoff game in three years.
Dallas is prepping to face a dangerous San Francisco 49ers team this Sunday. The 49ers most recently battled back from a 17-0 deficit to beat the Los Angeles Rams 28-24 in overtime last Sunday. It was a must-win situation for the Niners to get into the postseason.

The Dallas Cowboys battle the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday at 4:30 p.m. ET.
