Cooper Rush

Cooper Rush completed 24-of-32 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys’ 34-26, Week 12 win over the Commanders.

Rush picked up his first win of the season as the Cowboys’ starter in a wild road win in Washington. Rush didn’t turn the ball over in this one and kept the Cowboys’ offense on schedule for most of the afternoon. His 41-yard completion late in the first half helped setup a 46-yard field goal by Brandon Aubrey to tie the game at 3-3, but Rush would later find Jalen Tolbert for a six-yard touchdown in the third quarter and connected with Luke Schoonmaker on a 22-yard score in the fourth. Rush limited bad plays and bailed his center out of two high snaps that could’ve resulted in much worse than a loss of yards. The Cowboys will look to ride this momentum into Thanksgiving when they play host to Tommy DeVito and the Giants. Rush will have some value as a low-end QB2.
