Coming off a terrific performance in the Dallas Cowboys‘ third preseason game against the Houston Texans, is Cooper Rush now the favorite to assume the primary backup quarterback role behind Dak Prescott? His performance this Sunday could clinch it.
Rush, who is on his second stint with the Cowboys, put together a stellar stat line against the Texans last Saturday night. Completing 10 of his 12 pass attempts for 97 yards and two touchdowns, Rush outperformed fellow passers Garrett Gilbert and Ben DiNucci in the team’s third exhibition game.
