The team’s win over the Washington Commanders is arguably garnering less attention than its near-collapse and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-austin-seibert-culprit-blunder-vs-cowboys">its opponent’s mishaps</a>. One of the most popular brands in sports does not even seem to be a focal point anymore. Cooper Rush is not preoccupied with the outside chatter, however.</p><p>The veteran backup quarterback just wants to play and put the Cowboys in position to win more football games. His status for Thursday’s Thanksgiving face-off with the New York Giants (2-9) is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-cooper-rush-injury-report-giants-thanksgiving-clash">in some doubt</a> due to a knee injury. But Rush is acting like a man who expects to run onto the field in AT&amp;T Stadium this week after logging back-to-back <a href="https://twitter.com/SlaterNFL/status/1861550707377152501" rel="noopener">limited practice sessions</a>.</p><p>“Talked to Cowboys QB Cooper Rush today,” NFL Network’s Jane Slater reported on Tuesday. “He’s good to go for Thursday despite some knee soreness.” Many fans would prefer to get a larger sample size of former top-three draft pick Trey Lance, but the undrafted 31-year-old might be Dallas’ best chance at overcoming terribly bleak playoff odds.</p><h2><b>Cooper Rush, Cowboys try to keep things rolling</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cooper-Rush-unloads-a-pass-vs.-Commanders.jpg"><figcaption>Peter Casey-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Rush threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns while completing a superb 75 percent of his passes in Northwest Stadium last Sunday. He continues to prove himself to be one of the most reliable fill-ins today. His availability for the upcoming Giants game should logically increase the likelihood that the Cowboys win in consecutive weeks for the first time in almost two months.</p><p>Is that an acceptable goal, though? The organization has been devastated by injuries and poor performances throughout the 2024-25 campaign. Although the schedule is fairly manageable the rest of the way (the only true distressing challenge comes in the form of the Philadelphia Eagles at the end of the year), sliding into the playoffs feels beyond improbable. There is a large portion of the fan base that would rather build for the future.</p><p>Rush does not necessarily fit in the Cowboys’ long-term vision. He does represent something they occasionally lack, though. The former Central Michigan star has grit to spare and is a fighter. Dallas is desperate for the burst of life he can help provide. Results may not be the organization’s top priority for much longer this season, but cultivating a positive atmosphere remains vitally important.</p><p>Rush can accomplish both by contributing to another Cowboys’ win <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-thanksgiving-history-record-stats-highlights-playing-on-holiday">on Turkey Day</a>. It sounds like he will be ready for action.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, that would become more difficult <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-cooper-rush-on-injury-report-after-dak-prescott-injury">if quarterback Cooper Rush was injured</a>.</p><p>Rush was limited on Monday <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1861177966530638179" rel="noopener">due to his knee injury</a>, via Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. He was among 16 players the Cowboys listed on their injury report.</p><p>However, it doesn’t appear as if Rush is facing a long-term ailment. Clearly he has some bumps and bruises. But head coach Mike McCarthy <a href="https://x.com/JCTSports/status/1861181580070273376" rel="noopener">isn’t expecting his knee injury</a> to keep him out of Dallas’ Thanksgiving matchup, via Josh Tolentino of Lone Star Live.</p><p>“He’s got some work to do,” McCarthy said. “But I think he’ll be fine.”</p><p>Rush is coming off his first win as an NFL starter, as the Cowboys defeated the Washington Commanders 34-26 in Week 12. The quarterback completed 24-of-32 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns. Both of Rush’s touchdown throws came in a hotly contested fourth quarter.</p><p>By winning that game, Rush has extended his leash on the Cowboys’ QB1 role. With Dak Prescott out for the season, it isn’t necessarily the most precarious leash. But it does give Rush an opportunity to prove what he can offer as a starting quarterback.</p><p>After his Week 12 performance, Rush is now completing 61.1 percent of his passes for 813 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions. Barring injury or another meltdown, he seems likely to hold off Trey Lance for the remainder of the season.</p><p>While the win moved Dallas to just 4-7 on the year, they don’t want to leave Thanksgiving empty handed. The Giants are one of their most storied rivals, and every game is personal.</p><p>Having Cooper Rush on the field at least gives the offense a sense of continuance. It still won’t reach the levels it did under Prescott. But Rush has at least proven he can lead the Cowboys to win. Of course, only if he’s healthy.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

At their current pace, both NFC East division squads can be expected to miss the boat to the NFL playoffs. While these teams lack on-field success, they continue to get so much attention, in large part because of developments in their respective quarterback rooms.</p><p>The Cowboys are now relying on Cooper Rush to run the show of their offense from under center after Dak Prescott underwent a season-ending surgery. The Giants, on the other hand, are also expected to have a backup take over the QB1 role on the team, with New York finally <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-new-york-benches-daniel-jones-week-12">deciding to bench the ineffective Daniel Jones</a> during the team’s Week 11 bye.</p><p>In other words, the Giants-Cowboys Week 13 NFL Thanksgiving Day meeting on Nov. 28 at AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas will most likely feature an anti-Hall of Fame quarterback matchup of Tommy DeVito and Rush. Not that Jones and Prescott are both locks to make Canton one day, but a DeVito and Rush QB matchup is a step down in terms of star power.</p><h2><b>Fans relentlessly clown NFL Thanksgiving Day QB matchup</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/New-York-Giants-backup-QB-Tommy-DeVito.jpg"><figcaption>Rich Barnes-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Needless to say, the internet is having a great time roasting that NFL Thanksgiving Day QB head-to-head.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Thanksgiving 2024:  </p><p>The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Giants?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Giants</a> with Tommy DeVito take on the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Cowboys?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Cowboys</a> with Cooper Rush at 4:30 ET on FOX, with Tom Brady on the call. <a href="https://t.co/f3Z8pJLhoL">pic.twitter.com/f3Z8pJLhoL</a></p><p>— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) <a href="https://twitter.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1858516426627117070?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 18, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“I’ll pay $100 for Brady to be all time QB for both teams,” said a commenter on X, who was referring to former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady calling the Giants-Cowboys tilt.</p><p>“Game so bad even Aaron Rodgers is gonna spend time with his family that day, “shared another fan.</p><p>“Tom Brady would still be the best QB on the field and he’s been retired for almost two years,” a different commenter posted.</p><p>From another fan: “jesus christ get this game out of here.”</p><p>“Make someone watch this game start to finish with no phone and no food and see what happens,” chimed in an X user.</p><p>One commenter used a GIF of Pam from “The Office” to sarcastically make fun of the QB matchup.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Cooper Rush vs. Tommy DeVito on Thanksgiving.</p><p>Can’t wait. <a href="https://t.co/fdx8fdaRGG">pic.twitter.com/fdx8fdaRGG</a></p><p>— Victor Williams (@ThePhillyPod) <a href="https://twitter.com/ThePhillyPod/status/1858505484426194999?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 18, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“Cooper Rush + Tommy DeVito on Thanksgiving = instant salmonella.
