The Dallas Cowboys opted to start third-string quarterback Trey Lance on Sunday vs. the Washington Commanders, a slightly eyebrow-raising decision considering Dallas was already eliminated from playoff contention and wouldn't gain anything from resting second-string QB Cooper Rush.
However, it was reported that by hitting a certain snap percentage in Sunday's game, Rush could have triggered a $250,000 contract incentive. That revelation that led to some speculation that the Cowboys benched him to avoid paying out the cash.
