IRVING, Texas -- Roy Williams looks forward to the challenge of facing a Super Bowl championship team Saturday night.
Except the undefeated
New Orleans Saints haven't ever been to a Super Bowl, much less won one.
"Might as well crown them, right?" Williams said with more than a hint of saracasm. "They’re undefeated. It’s December. We don’t have a chance."
With a straight face, Williams said he is also looking forward to a rematch in the Superdome.
"This is a two-round fight and this is just the first round, in my eyes," Williams said. "I don't know about everybody else, but I think we're going to see this team in the playoffs down the road."
The odds of that happen increase dramatically if the Cowboys can win Round 1. If they don't, their playoff hopes will be on the ropes.
The Cowboys are the underdog, but Williams has Ali-like swagger.
"If we pack our bags and show up in New Orleans on Saturday night," he said, "we should be victorious."
