Despite being eliminated from the playoffs, Dallas comes through.
Cooper Rush’s Big Night
There was one highlight of this game that you could not miss, and that was the performance of Quarterback Cooper Rush.
The seven-year NFL veteran had his best performance of the season, throwing for 292 yards, one touchdown, and avoiding an interception for the second week in a row. Rush filled up the stat sheet in this one.
He had the offense humming early, as Dallas had their highest-scoring first quarter of the year.
That initial 10-0 lead grew stronger in the second quarter, as Dallas put up 13 points with a pair of Brandon Aubrey field goals and Ezekiel Elliott’s 71st rushing touchdown as a Cowboy.
