Seahawks' Richard Sherman slams Cowboys fans as delusional

The Dallas Cowboys are off to a blazing start in the 2023 NFL season, boasting convincing wins over the New York Giants and the New York Jets. Their performance has ignited a spark in the hearts of Cowboys faithful, who are already dreaming of Super Bowl glory. However, one NFL veteran and Super Bowl champion, Richard Sherman, is raining on their parade, cautioning them to temper their championship aspirations.

During an appearance on 'Undisputed,' Sherman, known for his candid opinions, had some strong words for Cowboys fans and pundit Skip Bayless. He urged them to dial down the Super Bowl chatter, stating, "Skip and the fans are delusional. Like they've been in the desert for three months straight and they ain't got a good meal. And that's okay. Be delusional. That's what gets you through the day. I'm not saying they're overrated. If you talk about Skip's rating, they are world champions, that's a bit much."

Sherman's championship experience, winning a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks in the 2013 season and making another appearance the following year, lends credence to his cautionary advice. He believes Cowboys fans might be jumping the gun based on the team's impressive early-season form.

In Week One, Dallas achieved a historic 40-0 shutout victory over the Giants, marking the franchise's biggest shutout win to date. The Cowboys' defense was instrumental in this dominant display, forcing three turnovers, including two interceptions by Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and a fumble by wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins. Jones also endured seven sacks in this lopsided encounter.

Week Two witnessed another stellar defensive performance as they limited the Jets to just 10 points in the home opener. Jets quarterback Zach Wilson threw three interceptions, and All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons recorded two sacks while running back Dalvin Cook lost a fumble.

While the Cowboys have undeniably shown the potential of a Super Bowl contender, only time will tell if they can sustain this impressive start. Sherman's cautionary words serve as a reminder that the road to the Lombardi Trophy is long and unpredictable.

Dallas Cowboys are not the only undefeated team in NFC East

The NFC East is rapidly emerging as one of the NFL's strongest divisions, with three of its four teams maintaining an unblemished record early in the season. Alongside the Dallas Cowboys, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders currently sit atop the division with a perfect record, boasting impressive victories of their own.

The Cowboys won't cross paths with an NFC East opponent until Week 9, when they face the Philadelphia Eagles on the road. Meanwhile, the Eagles are set to clash with the Washington Commanders in Week 4 on their home turf. As the season unfolds, the NFC East's competitive nature suggests that it may not have a repeat champion for nearly two decades, making this division one to watch closely as the season progresses.
