MINNEAPOLIS — The Cowboys won twice.
The first win came before kickoff, when Dallas ruled quarterback Dak Prescott inactive and successfully avoided a setback to their franchise quarterback’s calf strain.
Then came the more impressive, less-anticipated win: backup Cooper Rush engineering a 20-16 escape from U.S. Bank Stadium in his first career start in five pro seasons.
Rush was inconsistent but ultimately impressive, completing 24 of 40 passes for 324 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. His first career touchdown throw came on a spectacular 73-yard dart to wide receiver Cedrick Wilson. Rush’s second, a game-winner, came in the game’s final minute when he was electric connecting with his shared-name target, Amari Cooper, for a back-shoulder fade in the corner of the end zone.
A sizeable Cowboys fan base seated behind that eastern end zone erupted in cheers. Rush’s family celebrated in the stands, their kin lifting the Cowboys to 6-1 and a sixth-straight win.
