On the opening Sunday Night Football game of the season, the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19-3 and lost their starting quarterback Dak Prescott for a significant amount of time. Prescott left the game in the fourth quarter after his hand hit pass-rusher Shaq Barrett and he was replaced by Cooper Rush, who did not initially make the team’s 53-man roster after cutdowns and was only recently promoted to the active roster.
Rush completed 7 of 13 passes for 64 yards and a passer rating of 67.5 in place of Prescott.
