Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Commanders: Know Thy Enemy
The Dallas Cowboys continued their stint without their starting quarterback by picking up another win on Monday night against the New York Giants.
With the team able to beat the defending AFC champions Cincinnati Bengals one week and then follow it up by beating the (formerly) undefeated Giants the next week, it feels like Dallas is on a roll. Cooper Rush has been nothing but exceptional in his two performances so far for the Cowboys, protecting the football and making the right decisions in each of his two starts so far.
This upcoming game is going to be on another level when the Cowboys face off against their bitter rival in the Washington Commanders. Whenever these two teams get together you can throw out records because we’ve seen that anything can happen between these two teams.
The Commanders come into this game on a two-game losing streak and will be looking to get back on track against a Cowboys team that, while playing well, still isn’t playing with their starting quarterback Dak Prescott.
#Cowboys QB Dak Prescott showed me his thumb post stitch removal. No swelling. Healing. Tells me Cowboys/Rams week 5 is a game that he could possibly start. Get the sense he would go Sunday vs. Washington if he could but this will be a team/Dak decision to be smart
