As noted, the offense has definitely evolved over the past month or so, in large part due to the impact of Rico Dowdle, as he approaches his first career 1,000-yard season, and CeeDee Lamb gutting through a painful shoulder injury to continually break records for the Cowboys.
But with Lamb now shut down for the remainder of the season as a precaution for 2025, Rush and the depth at receiver will truly be tested.
“His production [will be missed], you can speak on that,” Rush said. “But there are guys who are ready. We’ve got a really deep receivers’ room with guys that are champing at the bit to go and play.”
It’s a room that is, however, dealing with injury to depth players as well, e.g., Jalen Tolbert’s pinky and Jalen Brooks’ knee, so the degree of difficulty continues to increase for the Cowboys, but it’s nothing they’ve unaccustomed to, at this point.
And, as quiet as it’s kept, Rush has now outdueled three Heisman-winning opposing quarterbacks in the past five weeks and, having previously defeated Joe Burrow (2022), the Cowboys’ backup is now the only player in NFL history to have defeated four in his first 13 career starts.
With only two games remaining before he finds himself once again in free agency, it goes without saying that Rush wants to keep the good times rolling against the Philadelphia Eagles and then Washington Commanders.
“You’ve got two left only, and that’s all you’re promised and, as a backup, you go through stints where you won’t play for a while,” he said. “You cherish all these moments. You really enjoy it and, I think I’ve said it before, enjoying getting to go out there and play. … I don’t think the future is the driver because you always have something to prove.
“I think that’s everyone, league-wide. It’s everyone’s mindset, usually, as a competitor. Being in the NFL, that’s enough.”
With that, his focus is solely on what he can do against one of the best defenses in the league in the Eagles, and on their turf, but it’s not as if Rush and the Cowboys’ offense hasn’t proven itself capable of landing a gutsy upset on the road.

As the NFL season comes to a close, teams are starting to shift their focus towards the impending free agency period. With players like CeeDee Lamb set to hit the market, there is a sense of urgency among teams to secure their desired targets.
The absence of CeeDee Lamb in the upcoming game against the Eagles has left fans and analysts alike wondering how the Cowboys will fare without their star wide receiver. Lamb has been a key playmaker for Dallas this season, and his absence will undoubtedly be felt on the field.
As the Cowboys prepare to take on the Eagles without Lamb, the team will need to rely on their depth at the wide receiver position to make up for his absence. Players like Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup will need to step up and fill the void left by Lamb’s absence in order to keep their playoff hopes alive.
With free agency looming and key players like CeeDee Lamb potentially on the move, the Cowboys will need to make some tough decisions in the coming months. The team’s success in the playoffs may hinge on how they navigate the challenges of free agency and the absence of key players like Lamb.
