The Cowboys have handled adversity well under Mike McCarthy

As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for their second primetime start in as many seasons for Cooper Rush, they’ve found a new confidence in 2022 after Rush beat the Bengals to avoid an 0-2 start in week two.

The Cowboys 20-17 win against the Bengals was a bounce-back game for Mike McCarthy and Kellen Moore, who both immediately felt the pressure they’re under this season after being held without a touchdown against the Buccaneers. Moore was able to keep the structure of his offense in place under a veteran backup like Rush, so much so that McCarthy had to answer questions about a fake QB controversy stirred up by Jerry Jones.
