The Dallas Cowboys may have a decision on their hands ahead of their prime-time game with division rivals and undefeated Philadelphia Eagles this upcoming Sunday.
During week one's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, starting quarterback and team captain Dak Prescott suffered a thumb injury on his throwing hand and had to leave the game. This would rule him out for the next five games, with the Cowboys being forced to start perennial back-up Cooper Rush. It's fair to say little was expected from Rush, but he has blown away all expectations and has lead the Cowboys to five straight wins.
The undrafted former Central Michigan quarterback Rush has been a back-up with the Cowboys since 2017, having been behind Prescott throughout. In 2020, Prescott missed 12 games of the season after breaking his ankle, however, the Cowboys chose to start now New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton over Rush.
