The Cowboys suffered what may have been their ugliest loss of the season on Sunday, which’s stating a lot. Their 34-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles basically put the last nail in the casket of their 2024 season. Unlike a couple of other video games this season, the Cowboys defense kept them in a position to contend heading into halftime. The offense was abysmal with QB Cooper Rush under.
Rush went into the video game with a 5-1 record as a starter. In the past, he had actually shown himself as a reputable backup to Prescott when they required him most. Unlike previous provings, there was absolutely nothing favorable about Rush’s efficiency versus the Eagles defense. If his 2 fumbles weren’t bad enough, he completed the video game with an astonishingly-low 45 passing backyards. No matter your circumstance, just 45 passing lawns as an NFL quarterback is untenable. He just could not discover any momentum throughout the video game, missing out on numerous passes and making crucial errors. It didn’t get far better when his backup Trey Lance went into the video game in the 4th quarter.
While this video game didn’t offer much for Cowboys fans, it did validate something: the Dallas Cowboys are a better football group with Dak Prescott on the field. It would have been intriguing to see what this video game might have looked like with Prescott under. Micah Parsons and DeMarvion Overshown offered time for the offense to make it a video game. It’s safe to presume the group would not have actually stopped working to reach completion zone all video game like they did, which it in general would have been a lot more competitive video game.
The criticisms towards the absence of playoff success with Prescott as the group’s quarterback over his profession is entirely reasonable. That is the supreme factor in the NFL. We now can see how much he was doing to simply bring the Cowboys along on offense this season, due to the fact that the very first video game without Prescott and even CeeDee Lamb was shut down. The group simply requires to supply him a competitive lineup next year.
