4 burning questions about the Cowboys and Giants’ Week…

4 burning questions about the Cowboys and Giants’ Week 3 ‘MNF’ game: Can Cooper Rush win again?

It’s the matchup of two longtime NFC East rivals we enjoy every year.

The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys will be playing this Monday at 8:15 PM ET on ESPN and ESPN+, and it’s possible one team will emerge 3-0.

That’s right, the Giants won their first two games, albeit against some fairly mediocre teams.

The Cowboys, meanwhile, lost Dak Prescott to injury and got blown out in Week 1. But a rebound with a 20-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals was a big deal for the team.

There are burning questions for both teams that we have to cover heading into the Week 3 finale. So let’s dive in and talk about what we want to know as we get set for the contest:

1
Can Cooper Rush keep this up?

There was a lot of doom and gloom around the Cowboys after Week 1, but Rush had a pretty clean game against the Bengals, passing for 235 yards and touchdown. As long as he keeps the turnovers to a minimum, he’s surrounded by plenty of talent to keep this up.

Seems like Jerry Jones is happy.

Can the Dallas D force Daniel Jones into turnovers?

So far, the Cowboys’ defense has given up just 180 yards a game, good for sixth in the NFL. And we also know that Daniel Jones has taken eight sacks and is prone to turnovers.

Put all that together and that’s a recipe for the game plan.
