In Week 11, Jerry Jones’ team won in the most impressive manner against the Minnesota Vikings. They crushed the men in purple by a score of 40-3. Although the Dallas Cowboys struggled throughout the game against the Houston Texans in Week 14, Dak Prescott and Co could take over the game and defeat their rivals.

But when Rob Gronkowski appeared on a Fox Sports pre-game show on Sunday, he made sure to give his opinions freely about the Cowboys. The former New England Patriots TE was of the opinion that NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers are the real threat this season.
Rob Gronkowski apparently doesn’t believe in the Cowboys
He said, “But you also can’t forget about the Minnesota Vikings. They have a better record than the Dallas Cowboys. And are the Dallas Cowboys pretenders or contenders? And history states that they’re pretenders every single year.” Gronk referred to the team’s inability to reach an NFC Championship game since they won their last Super Bowl in 1995. Even though the team performed strongly in numerous regular seasons, they could never move to the Championship game.
Fans tried to prove Rob Gronkowski wrong
His statement plucked a nerve amongst the Cowboys fans who criticized him for his views.
This user reminded Gronk that Dallas overthrew the Vikings in their own building.
Lmao what a 🤡 40-3 in Minnesota 😂
A user talked about the future Hall of Famer’s former team’s record.
But this fan seemed to agree with the TE.
For the playoffs, it would be hard to disagree until they actually win a Divisional playoff game
This commenter questioned the 33-year-old’s analytical skills.
This is why not every great football player makes a great tv analyst
This fan had a neutral reaction to Gronk’s take.
Minnesota Vikings are one of the teams that have won no Super Bowl titles, despite their appearance in 1977.
I can’t get mad because we haven’t had success in the playoffs. Yet what does bother me with ppl who say stuff like this, is that they don’t mention the other teams who have the same types of long SB droughts
Honestly respect his opinion but you can’t call out the Cowboys and crown the Vikings
Maybe Gronk’s opinions are based on the fact that he’s 3-0 against the Cowboys. But the team has been ambitious this season and recently won a game against the Texans on Sunday.
