Jan 5, 2025 12:03 pm: Rush will serve as the backup quarterback in Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Analysis: Rush has served as the starting quarterback for the Cowboys since Week 11 with Dak Prescott (hamstring) sidelined. While inconsistent, he did manage a 12:4 TD:INT across nine games while averaging only 6.1 yards per attempt. The decision to start Lance on Sunday likely has more to do with giving him an extended chance to play rather than a true benching of Rush, but Rush will find himself on the bench to close the campaign regardless.
