Morning briefing: 18-Nov-24 - Should Bo Nix be the favorite for Offensive Rookie of the Year?

How long is Cooper Rush ’s leash? Back in 2022, Rush filled in for an injured Dak Prescott for five starts, going 4-1 with 956 passing yards, five touchdowns, three interceptions, a 81.2 passer rating and a 58.0 completion percentage. Those performances, which weren’t sterling but were competent, came with considerably more firepower surrounding him — but he nonetheless showed he can guide the ship. He again looked capable relieving Prescott in the fourth quarter of an eventual 27-21 Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons (115 yards, 1 TD).

However, Rush came undone last week in his first start of the 2024 campaign.
