Cowboys vs. Commanders: Each team’s X-factor player for Sunday

The mood around this Cowboys team is a night and day difference than what it was almost three weeks ago. Then, QB1 was hurt, the team played a bad football game in week one, and the future of this season looked murky at best at the end of that night. The 180 degree turn of emotion on this season has been truly astounding to see.

This defense has proven they are the real deal and have only allowed three touchdowns in three games. Cooper Rush has been everything this team needed as a backup QB, and the connection between him and Noah Brown is evident as Brown has produced meaningful snaps early in this season.
