Cowboys sticking with Cooper Rush at QB against Texans

FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys are sticking with Cooper Rush as their starting quarterback for next Monday night's game against the Houston Texans.

"We have a lot of faith in Cooper," coach Mike McCarthy said. "Like I stood up here last week, everybody believes in him. How can you not based off the way he's performed? But that fumble and the recovery attempt, that was off to a rough start. Just felt like he never really got into a rhythm."

In Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Rush completed 13-of-26 passes for 45 yards and he lost two fumbles.
