With the 20-19 victory against the Detroit Lions in week 18, the Dallas Cowboys marked their 16th straight home win as they clinched a playoff spot with a 12-5 season standing. On top of that, the team secured the NFC East championship title after the Philadelphia Eagles fell short against the New York Giants.

The Cowboys seem to be in full swing as they aspire for the Super Bowl while playing at their best form throughout the season. However, Keyshawn Johnson has different opinions on the Cowboys’ Super Bowl picture. Sitting next to two of the biggest Cowboys fanatics, Skip Bayless and Michael Irvin, the former NFL wide receiver, refused to accept the Cowboys as a top contender on Undisputed’s recent episode.

In light of the Cowboys’ remarkable victory over the Washington Commanders, Bayless portrayed his team as a threat to win the entire NFC, which would be proved after defeating Green Bay in the first match of the playoffs, next Sunday. Bayless then directed his question towards Johnson, whom he jokingly referred to as “Cowboys hater.”

First of all, I'm going to start off by saying this: slow your roll.

fired Johnson as Irvin and Bayless teased him with Cowboys success.

He then added:

You beat a team that coach was packing his bags, had already did that, and was fired early this morning. So let’s slow that down. Now you’re talking about the NFC championship game, which means that you [Cowboys] would be going to the Super Bowl. Are they a threat? No, they’re not a threat.

Johnson believes the Cowboys may be a threat to reach the NFC championship game. However, he refused to accept them as a top contender in the entire NFC or capable enough to represent the conference at the Super Bowl, despite their victory over the Commanders.

Is this finally the Cowboys year as the No. 2 seed? @keyshawn has a message for fans 👀

“Slow your roll. Worry about Green Bay and this magical young QB first.”

Keyshawn Johnson warns Cowboys of facing Jordan Love in the first playoff match

While talking about whether or not the Cowboys are a threat in the NFC, Johnson also sent a warning to the team as well as fans about an upcoming matchup against the leading quarterback Jordan Love-led Green Bay Packers.

You [Cowboys] got to worry about Green Bay and this magical young quarterback, in his confidence level.

Love, who was promoted as the starting quarterback this season after Aaron Rodgers left the team, surprisingly led his team straight to the playoffs at a 9-8 season standing. Not just that, he made history by leading the youngest NFL team to the postseason.

The young quarterback finished his first season as started with a 64.2% completion rate on his 372 of 579 passing attempts. He logged 4,159 passing yards, along with 32 passing touchdowns and just 11 interceptions, that is even better than his senior Rodgers’ stats from last season.
