With Prescott now set to miss multiple weeks, it’ll be Cooper Rush taking over under center. That can’t leave Jerry Jones or the Cowboys’ fans feeling very good about their chances, as the fifth-year QB out of Central Michigan came into the season with just 50 career pass attempts under his belt at the NFL level.

Up next for Dallas is a matchup with Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and the Cincinnati Bengals.
