It’s been one of those seasons for the Dallas Cowboys. Dak Prescott is injured, the run game has been non-existent, and they haven’t won a game at Jerry’s World yet. The passing game has been competent, posting the 10th-most passing yards. Dak Prescott is responsible for much of that production, but Cooper Rush looks to […]
