The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants will meet on Monday night at MetLife Stadium, marking the second time Dallas will call on backup QB Cooper Rush to start a primetime game in as many seasons. For a team that spent the offseason seemingly relying on last year’s perfect 6-0 record against the NFC East to mean something this year, the Cowboys still have a long way to go to stay relevant without Dak Prescott, with the Giants presenting a major challenge at 2-0.
It was the Cowboys defense that earned their first win of the season on Sunday, slowing down a talented Bengals offense enough to let Rush execute a game-winning drive.
