Michael Irvin, Stephen A Smith Make Intriguing Bet on Cowboys’ Season
Stephen A. Smith and Michael Irvin made a bet following the Dallas Cowboys' Week 1 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday.
In a recent episode of ESPN's First Take, former Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver Michael Irvin and co-host Stephen A. Smith wagered on the team's performance in the remainder of the 2026 season. Should the Cowboys fail to reach the NFC Championship game, Smith has pledged to cut Irvin's hair during the broadcast. Irvin expressed his confidence in the team's potential, stating, "I'm still confident in what the Cowboys have.
They have to get it together." The two-time Super Bowl champion then took up the challenge, adding, "I will put my locs on the line."
The Dallas Cowboys faced a setback with a 28-20 loss to their division rival, the New York Giants, in a primetime game on Sunday. Quarterback Jaxson Dart led the Giants to victory, completing 23 of his 29 pass attempts for 230 yards and three touchdowns. In contrast, Dallas' Dak Prescott completed 22 of his 34 pass attempts for 175 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.
With the season on the line, the Cowboys will aim to turn things around starting with their Week 2 matchup against the Washington Commanders next Sunday.
