Cooper Rush leads Dallas Cowboys to win in final minute, lessening sting of Dak Prescott loss, season-opening defeat

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Cooper Rush isn't one to show his emotions much publicly, and he wasn't about to break character after Sunday's 20-17 win against the Cincinnati Bengals in which the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback led a final-minute drive that ended in a game-winning 50-yard field goal.

"Winning an NFL game is a lot of fun," Rush said.

Making just his second career start, Rush completed 19 of 31 passes for 235 yards and a first-quarter touchdown pass to Noah Brown, filling in for an injured Dak Prescott, who had right thumb surgery the day after the season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
