Cooper Rush is making a good case to stay as Prescott's backup. If Rush can help pull an upset in either of the final two games at Philadelphia on Sunday or home against Washington, he'll have a winning record in three different seasons filling in for Dallas' injured star QB.

Jerry Jones, the ever-ambi͏tious owner of the Da͏llas ͏Cowboys, entered the 2024 season with sky-high hopes. The post Jerry Jones Gives Final Verdict on Dak Prescott as Cowboys’ Starting QB After Cooper Rush Made NFL History appeared first on EssentiallySports.

The Cowboys hurt their draft stock by winning in Week 16, but they are now within range to pick a perfect player for Dak Prescott.

One would think that would mean Dallas would look to get younger players more reps in the final two games, including quarterback Trey Lance, the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL

While they have been eliminated from postseason contention, it's Cooper Rush and the Cowboys who are standing between the Eagles and their 11th division title in the last 24 years.

This season, Rush has thrown for 1,697 yards, 11 touchdowns, and just three interceptions in relief of Dak Prescott.

Even Bucs star wide receiver Mike Evans said it, "They deserved to win today [because] they played like they were trying to clinch playoffs and we didn't." The intensity shown by the Cowboys was particularly special because not only were they not trying to clinch a trip to the postseason but they were mathematically eliminated from contention hours before the game.
