Is he justified?

It's a critical NFL postseason matchup tonight, as the Dallas Cowboys are taking on the ageless wonder Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a chance to advance. 

And ahead of tonight's game, former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman is voicing his concerns over the current quarterback in Dak Prescott.

"I see a quarterback that was not playing with a great deal of confidence and I think that would be a bit of a concern going into this game," said Aikman of Dak Prescott. "Can he get that back?''

Of course, Aikman saw what the rest of us saw last week in Dallas' season finale against the struggling Washington Commanders, once again struggling with turning the ball over in a lifeless 26-6 final score. 

"I think there’s a little bit of lingering doubt when you have a game like that against an opponent like they had it against," Aikman said this week. "I would be a little bit concerned, especially considering the amount of pressure that I think it is on this team to go win a playoff game.''

"If it’s a close game in the fourth, that doesn’t bode well for Dallas," Aikman said. "I think Dallas has the firepower. The last thing Tampa can afford [is] to get into a shootout and I think Dallas has the ability, if they play like they’re capable of playing, they have the ability to kind of really put pressure on Tampa early in the game. 

"But the longer the game goes and it’s close and it’s in the fourth quarter, I think that begins to favor Tampa Bay even more." 

Tonight's game will begin at 8:15 PM EST. Can Prescott and the Cowboys get it done?
