The Dallas Cowboys named Trey Lance the starting quarterback for their meaningless season finale in Week 18. The news that Lance would start and Cooper Rush would sit was broken by Jenn Slater of NFL Network. While there were rumors Lance would see the field a couple days ago, the actual move was not announced until nearly two hours before the game.
The timing of the decision seems odd considering Lance hasn't gotten a look in any of the Cowboys' previous games since they were eliminated from the playoff hunt, which makes you wonder if there was another factor that came into play for the team. Some are wondering if Cooper Rush's contract had something to do with it.
