Cowboys analytics roundup: Cooper Rush stats didn’t make the team that much worse

The Cowboys are bad. Everyone knows that by now, and in case you thought it might change with Cooper Rush coming into the lineup, it did not. This team is too bad right now for any move to serve as a quick fix or save the season. But even the most optimistic Rush fans had to be blown away by how bad he was. Ditto for Trey Lance in his limited playing time.

The question, though, comes down to how bad the Cowboys’ backups really were. Watching the game was rough, as both Rush and Lance made several especially egregious mistakes, but did their play really drag this team down considerably more?
