The Dallas Cowboys' Cooper Rush should have come out dressed up as Dak Prescott during Sunday's Halloween meeting with the Minnesota Vikings because the backup quarterback didn't miss a beat during his team's 20-16 victory at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The fact Rush played as well as he did speaks positively of the entire Cowboys roster and how much growth it experienced from last year to this season. That growth now places them squarely in the Super Bowl conversation.
In Week 5 of last season, Prescott suffered a catastrophic ankle injury. Now 386 days later, the 28-year-old signal-caller is nursing a calf injury that kept him out of the lineup after a red-hot 5-1 start.
