Cooper Rush Catches Fire for the Dallas Cowboys
Cooper Rush's Impressive Start
Despite concerns about the offense after losing Dak Prescott to injury, Cooper Rush has stepped up and led the Dallas Cowboys to a 3-0 start to the season. In Rush's three starts, he has thrown for 734 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions, while completing over 65% of his passes. His impressive play has silenced the critics and has given the Cowboys hope that they still have a chance to make a playoff run this season.
Without Prescott at the helm, it was expected that the Cowboys offense would struggle to put up points. However, Rush has shown a great rapport with his receivers, and the running game has also been productive. In the Cowboys' Week 3 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, Rush threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns, while Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown.
key matchups to watch
* **Cowboys vs. Rams (Week 5)**: The Rams defense has been struggling this season, so this will be a good test for Rush and the Cowboys offense.
* **Cowboys vs. Eagles (Week 6)**: The Eagles are a tough opponent, but Rush has already shown that he can play well against them. This will be a chance for him to prove that he can consistently perform against high-level competition.
Can Rush Keep It Going?
It remains to be seen if Rush can continue to play at a high level for the rest of the season. However, he has shown that he is a capable quarterback who can lead the Cowboys to wins. If Prescott can return from injury at some point this season, the Cowboys could be a real threat in the NFC.
