It's all about the rush — and the Rush — on Sunday night.
The Cowboys were handed a bad hand, both literally and figuratively, when quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a thumb injury in Week 1. But, thanks to quarterback Cooper Rush, Dallas has stayed afloat and played to a 4-1 record entering a massive divisional showdown against the undefeated Eagles on Sunday night.
It hasn't just been about Rush the passer, it's also been about rushing the passer. Led by Micah Parsons, Dallas' defensive front has been otherworldly this year, sacking the passer 22 times through five games this year.
On Sunday, the 'Boys face off against, arguably, their toughest challenge when they face Jalen Hurts. Hurts is on the ascent in Philadelphia, and his escapability is a big reason why. The third-year passer has rushed for 266 yards and six touchdowns already this season, helping guide the Eagles to the NFL's last remaining undefeated record.
