With how last season ended and the offseason unfolded for the Dallas Cowboys, the start of the 2022 season was set up to be a no-win situation. Any early season success, despite the Jones’ best efforts to sell it as reasons to believe in their process, would be met with skepticism that the team won’t fade down the stretch again. Losses like the one they opened the season with at home to Tampa felt more predictable, with an offense that lost so many key starters from a year ago failing to find the end zone.
Losing Dak Prescott only made the 0-1 start worse, but the Cowboys have found a way to string consecutive wins together with Cooper Rush.
