The Cowboys were knocked out of the playoffs on Sunday night, falling 19-12 to the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium. Renowned sports gambler ‘Mattress Mack’ lost millions after the Dallas Cowboys were eliminated from the NFL playoffs by the San Francisco 49ers – and he sent a message to quarterback Dak Prescott following his poor performance.

Jim McIngvale, a Texas mattress salesman, won a record $10 million bet on the Houston Astros to win the 2022 MLB World Series, and he became viral as a result. McIngvale, also known as ‘Mattress Mack,’ slammed quarterback Dak Prescott after he mistakenly supported the Cowboys to win.
“Hey Dak, Mattress Mack here,” McIngvale said in a video posted to social media. “I just lost $2 million, but I’ve got some advice for you. Get rid of that Sleep Number mattress and get a Tempur-Pedic. You’ll get much better results!”
Former Cowboys wide receiver and NFL legend Terrell Owens got involved, commenting on McIngvale’s post. He said: “Mack! I don’t think a tempur-pedic would’ve helped him. They should’ve signed me a couple of weeks ago!!”
Mack! I don’t think even think a tempur-pedic would’ve have helped him. 😂

The defeat is surely a shattering reality for the Cowboys, who anticipated that with such a great defense, this was their year. Their offense proved to be their doom; Prescott threw for 206 yards and a touchdown but also threw two interceptions against the dreaded San Francisco defense.
Prescott finished with a poor QB rating of 51.5, failing his team again at the most crucial moment. This means that the Cowboys’ and their fans’ Super Bowl dreams have been dashed for the 27th time.
