Jerry Jones believes the Dallas Cowboys could clinch a spot in the playoffs with Cooper Rush leading the way. After Dak Prescott suffered a season ending injury, everything seemed lost. Now, there’s hope.

The Cowboys have two consecutive wins after solid performances against the Washington Commanders and the New York Giants. The next challenge is on Monday Night Football facing Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

Of course, the Super Bowl is not a real target for the franchise, but, the numbers clearly say they’re still alive. Jones is convinced that Rush’s qualities are more than enough to make a final push in the NFL.

Who will start at QB for the Cowboys?

Cooper Rush will be the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys for the rest of the season. During an interview with 105.3 The Fan, Jerry Jones explained why, even after his initial struggles, the owner always believed in Mike McCarthy’s choice over Trey Lance.

“Well, I’ll start with his mental grasp of what we’re trying to do. He’s got a very quick mind. Quick from the mind to the hands and the feet. Really grasp the situation as it unfolds as quick as anybody we’ve seen. So, that enables him to quickly get that ball out. That’s important for us, especially right now to get that ball out quickly. He does it and does it well.”
