EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Filling in for an injured Dak Prescott and making consecutive starts for the first time in his career, Cooper Rush led the Dallas Cowboys to a 23-16 win against the New York Giants on Monday. He was assisted by a fierce pass rush that sacked QB Daniel Jones five times and pressured him 24 times.
