Former Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver Michael Irvin is almost always overconfident in his former team’s abilities.
Despite the Cowboys entering the playoffs as the No. 5 seed, he predicted that the team would make the Super Bowl. They defeated their former team, the Buffalo Bills, to win the Lombardi Trophy before the playoffs began.
However, he may change his tune. Earlier this week, he made it clear that he is intimidated by the San Francisco 49ers and their ability to run the football.
He went so far as to call the 49ers Dallas “kryptonite”.
Here’s what he said, via audacity,
“I like this matchup the least out of all of the Cowboys’ matchups,” Irvin told hosts Damon Bruce and Ray Ratto. If you have to do it, then instead of doing it earlier, do it in that stage. I’ll tell you why, it’s because the San Francisco 49ers have all the kryptonite for the Dallas Cowboys.
San Francisco knocked Dallas out of the playoffs last season and has a chance to do it again this year.
The 49ers and Cowboys begin at 6:30PM ET on FOX.
