It was Cooper Rush who replaced Prescott at quarterback and the Cowboys lost by a score of 27 to 21. After the game, the star player mentioned that he had difficulty putting weight on his right leg.
“I saw the medical team and asked them if it could get worse, and at that point they told me I wouldn’t be able to protect myself and they made the decision,” he said. he explained.
This is a new tile that falls on the head of head coach Mike McCarthy, who must feel the pressure from general manager and team owner Jerry Jones. Frustration spread to the Cowboys, with the pilot even throwing his video tablet to the ground during the match.
