Tom Brady leaves Denzel Washington speechless with question about beloved Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are a tricky team to figure out.

When everything's clicking they look like genuine Super Bowl contenders, but every now and then they'll put in a horrible performance and expectations come crashing back down to Earth.

Hollywood legend Denzel Washington is a fan of America's Team but doesn't appear sold on their championship credentials.

Washington recently appeared on Tom Brady's Let's Go! podcast where the NFL icon asked Denzel what he thinks of the Cowboys' chances this season.

The question left the Training Day actor completely stumped as he paused for a good few seconds to think about his answer.

After a while Washington responded: "I don't know. I don't know. I can't... Can you figure them out?"

Brady then responded: "They always feel like they're right on the brink, and, then, it just doesn't quite get them to the top, top."

Denzel replied saying that he's a big fan of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.

"I love the quarterback, I love him. He's a leader of men. He’s a man of God. He best win championships," Washington said.

Co-host Jim Gray then chimed in asking the actor who he thinks will win a title sooner: the Cowboys or Washington's favourite NBA team, the Los Angeles Lakers.
