The Cooper Rush stretch is in full effect, and through one start in 2022 the Cowboys are 1-0, and currently sit at 1-1 overall on the season after defeating the Cincinnati Bengals, 20-17. When Dak Prescott left week one abruptly due a fractured thumb on his throwing hand, panic mode set in for Cowboys Nation. However, with Rush outplaying Joe Burrow this past week, those that were in full panic mode were able to bring it down a notch. It’s just one game, but Rush did what he was supposed to do, manage the game.
The performance wasn’t spectacular, but it was good enough with an elite defense doing their job to pull out the nail-biter.
