The Dallas Cowboys have a 3-5 record and lost Dak Prescott with a hamstring injury. Although there isn’t an official announcement yet about the veteran quarterback going to IR, it’s time for Cooper Rush.

To make things worse, the schedule is brutal with upcoming games against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Houston Texans and the Washington Commanders. Before December, this team could be doomed.

However, players and coaches believe there’s still a chance for the Cowboys to make an incredible Super Bowl run. So, as it always happens in the NFL, numbers show it will be close to a miracle.

Nevertheless, with a 3-5 record and Dak Prescott’s injury, that number at ESPN has plummeted and the Cowboys currently face a 3% chance to make the playoffs in the 2024 season.
