After injuring his throwing thumb in Week 1 of 2022 NFL play... by Week 7 - Dak was ready to come back. And he wasn't taking any chances. Prescott came back to face a struggling Detroit Lions team at home, a team where he has an undefeated 3-0 record against. And now? 4-0, baby!
Well, it finally happened... backup quarterback Cooper Rush threw an interception (or 3) and his winning streak for the Dallas Cowboys has been snapped. Good news? Dak is coming back.
By the time Rage Against The Machine actually makes it to El Paso...these other unlikely events will probably happen first. I have literally conceptualized and birthed an entire human since I bought my tickets in 2019.
If you haven't heard, Cooper Rush is 4-0 in his career as backup quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. He's broken a ton of records...the only QB in Cowboy's history who has won each of his first four career starts. Only the 27th quarterback in NFL history to do it.
But...he's the backup. And he knows this.
If you take a close look at the style of football that the Dallas Cowboys and UTEP Miners are currently playing, the similarities between the two are striking.
After Dak Prescott went down in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season, some thought any legitimate season for the Cowboys was a pipe dream.
Enter - COOPER RUSH. Backup quarterback straight outta Central Michigan University (fire up chips!). Legitimate season a pipe dream? How about legitimizing the season after Week 3!
