With Dak Prescott sidelined, backup Cooper Rush had to come in and finish the game. Rush completed 13 of 25 pass attempts for 115 yards and a touchdown, while Presccot went 18-of-24 for 133 yards, one touchdown and no picks.
Cowboys Are Finished If Dak Prescott Misses Time
The 3-5 Cowboys already look like they’ll miss the playoffs for the first time in four years. But if Prescott misses multiple games, the Cowboys’ chances of making the postseason are practically zero.
A brutal schedule awaits the Cowboys, who have to consider serious changes following yet another uninspiring loss. Perhaps that will include the removal of Mike McCarthy as head coach.
