It wasn't easy, but the Dallas Cowboys were able to pull off an important victory on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings without Dak Prescott. Amari Cooper played hero with a five-yard touchdown in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter to seal the deal. However, fellow receiver CeeDee Lamb tried to steal the glory by getting Cooper Rush to call a different play. Via The Forth Worth Star:
“We were double left. That means I line up to the left, on the short side of the field,” Cooper recalled in the Cowboys locker room. “CeeDee wanted the ball really bad. He told Cooper [Rush], ‘it’s double right, right?’
“That would put me on the right side and him on the left.” And I was like ‘Nah, it’s double left bro.”
“He was like, ‘Coop, you gonna let me get this?’ I was like ‘Hell naw,” Cooper said. “That’s how much pride I take in wanting that ball in those pivotal moments. I know I can go up and make a play. For sure, he tried to steal my touchdown.”
This just goes to show the Cowboys have two wideouts who want that big moment. If anything, it's a good sign. Both Cooper and Lamb had big games on Sunday, combining for 14 receptions and 234 yards. As for Rush, he did a phenomenal job in place of Dak, completing 24 of 40 passes for 325 yards.
With the win, the Cowboys now sit at 6-1 on the season, which is one of the best records in the entire NFL. What a time to be a Dallas fan.
