Whether or not Dak Prescott plays this Sunday night against the Philadelphia Eagles is not a totally settled question. Most expect Cooper Rush to be the Dallas Cowboys quarterback for at least one more week, but Prescott’s return is certainly imminent. Regardless of when he’s back on the field, Dak will find himself under more pressure than ever to succeed.
You already know the story; the Cowboys are on a four-game win streak with Rush as their starting QB and have a 5-0 record under Rush including his one start last year. While barely putting up pedestrian stats, let alone gaudy, Rush is keeping things afloat with few mistakes, the occasional big play, and just enough offense to take advantage of Dallas’ excellent work on defense and special teams.
