If there were any out there who still had their doubts about the toughness Mike McCarthy has instilled in this Cowboys team, Sunday night’s win was for you. The Cowboys made the game-time decision to keep Dak Prescott inactive with a calf strain, leading to Cooper Rush making his first career start.
While he wasn’t perfect, Rush did just enough to win the game and move the Cowboys to 6-1. With the Buccaneers losing earlier Sunday, Dallas is now one Packers loss away from controlling their destiny with regards to earning the top seed and a first-round bye in the playoffs.
