This is currently the Cowboys offense’s best chance without Dak Prescott
This is currently the Cowboys offense’s best chance without Dak Prescott reidhanson Cooper Rush has played in eight games in 2024, starting four while logging a total of 320 snaps. In that time, he’s passed the ball 185 times, completing 112, for a total of 1,008 passing yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions. His 48.0 grade at Pro Football Focus ranks him last in the NFL by a rather significant margin and his -0.027 EPA+CPOE composite score backs up such a claim (also last in the NFL). It’s safe to say at this point the Cowboys know what they have in Rush. Despite banging out two consecutive wins, he’s not a quarterback that elevates a team. And despite calls to open up the offense and take more shots downfield, Mike McCarthy appears to be doing the smart thing with his replacement QB by taking a conservative approach. The Cowboys opponent in Week 14 begs such a conservative attack. The zone-happy Bengals defense ranks 28th in EPA/dropback, 29th in rush EPA allowed and 30th in total EPA allowed. They are vulnerable to both the run and the pass and as long as Dallas plays within themselves, they should be able to find success against the Cincinnati defense. In situations such as this it will be tempting for the Cowboys to take shots down the field. That’s not only unnecessary, but it asks Rush to succeed in an area of personal weakness. Based on FTN Data shown by Doug Analytics, Rush has thrown catchable deep balls on less than 30 percent of his attempts this season. He’s also bottom three in attempts and catchability percentage. PFF tracking shows Rush has attempted 16 passes of 20 or more yards and completed just four of them for a 25 percent completion rate. One of those passes qualified as a big-time throw and one pass qualified as a turnover worthy throw. It’s arguably the biggest inefficiency in his game, making the case for McCarthy to avoid deep passes with Rush at the helm. Even in the 10–19-yard range Rush has struggled in 2024. His completion percentage sits at just 40 percent and this intermediate range grades as his poorest on the field with him throwing three times as many turnover worthy throws than big time throws. For as much as the Cowboys running game and defense have struggled in 2024, they are areas Dallas simply has to lean on in order to win games. Combined with a dink and dunk passing attack that plays inside the numbers, the Cowboys are best positioned to win games behind Rush at QB.

5 things to watch when the Cowboys host the Bengals on Monday night
Photo by Ian Johnson/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Here are the things we’ll be paying the most attention to when Dallas and Cincinnati meet on Monday night. The Dallas Cowboys will be back on Monday Night Football for the second and final time this year when they host the Cincinnati Bengals. The Cowboys are riding a two-game winning streak while the Bengals have lost three straight. The Cowboys also have a nice win streak against those striped helmet-wearing fellas, winning the last five contests against them. Cincy’s last win against Dallas was 20 years ago when Carson Palmer outdueled Vinny Testaverde. But don’t let the record fool you. This will be a tough game for the Cowboys. Here are five things to watch when the Bengals head into AT&T on Monday night. 1. DOUBLE THE TROUBLE The Cowboys have faced some great wide receivers this year, but never have they faced two of them on the same team. The WR duo of JaMarr Chase and Tee Higgins are remarkable as they both are in the top five in yards per game. Not only do they rack up the yards, but they find the endzone frequently. Higgins has a touchdown catch in each of his last three games, and Chase has six touchdown catches over his last three games. The duo is a problem. Cincy features a dangerous passing attack as Joe Burrow’s 3,337 passing yards leads the NFL this season. The Cowboys might have Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland on the field together for the first time since Week 2 of last year. Diggs has missed the last two games with a groin and knee injury. The defense also lost depth corner Josh Butler for the season after he was injured on Thanksgiving, but they’ll get Amani Oruwariye back. Regardless of the arrangement of corners available, keeping the Bengals’ talented receiving duo in check will be a challenge. 2. CHASE IN SPACE Last week, we discussed the importance of not allowing rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. to get loose in space and the Cowboys’ defense did a good job keeping his runs to a minimum. They will have a similar challenge this week against second-year back Chase Brown. Since taking over the starting job after Zac Moss got hurt, Brown has been a grinder, churning yards both as a rusher and receiver. He has 90+ scrimmage yards in each of his last four games. Brown isn’t a back who will nickel and dime the defense to death, but he’s always a big play waiting to happen. He has a run of 20+ yards in six of his last nine games, including a 40-yard run against the Steelers last week. As a frame of reference, a Cowboys running back has only had a run of 20+ yards once the entire season, and it came from Rico Dowdle on Thanksgiving. The Cowboys will need to wrap up and not let the Bengal’s young back break off some big chunks. 3. BEWARE OF THE RUN STUFFS Over the last two games, the Cowboys rushing attack has shown signs of life. Dowdle has had two straight games with at least 80 yards on the ground, including a career-high 112 yards against the Giants on Thanksgiving. The arrangement of Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe, and Brock Hoffman has provided the Cowboys with some extra beef along the interior offensive line. The Bengals’ defense will be a problem. They get after the ball carriers. They hit opposing rushers behind the line of scrimmage on 49.3% of designed runs between the tackles (data courtesy of NextGenStats). That’s the third-most in the league. Cowboys’ running backs are one of the weaker teams in yards before contact. Unless the Cowboys’ offensive line can pull off some better run blocking, we could see a lot of runs with little or no gain. 4. KEEP THE RUSH OFF OF RUSH How far the Cowboys go in sustaining a viable rushing attack will loom large because failure to do so will result in a huge problem. With Tyler Guyton dealing with an ankle injury, we could see veteran Chuma Edoga start in his place at left tackle. Edoga has been fine in the short time his number has been called, but he’ll draw a tough matchup this week. That’s because the Bengals’ defense features one of the league’s most underrated edge rushers in Trey Hendrickson. His 11.5 sacks lead the NFL this year and his 63 pressures are the second most in the league. He has more sacks than all of the other Bengals players combined. How the Cowboys handle Hendrickson and the Bengals pass rush could be the difference between a competitive game and absolute frustration. Quarterback Cooper Rush will have to come up with some plays in this one. 5. GOTTA TRY TO KEEP UP The Bengals have a top-five scoring offense. They have scored at least 27 points in each of the last four games. The Cowboys have a bottom-five points-allowed defense. You don’t need to be a statistician to tell you that there’s a good chance that Cincinnati is going to score some points in this one. While the Bengals do put up the points, their defense also surrenders a lot as well. They also have a bottom-five points-allowed defense. In fact, both Dallas and Cincinnati allow 28.3 points per game. The Bengals have been on the wrong end of some shootouts in recent weeks, but the Cowboy’s offense isn’t a unit that will light up anything. Dallas has found the end zone eight times over the last four games, but three of those have been courtesy of their defense or special teams. That’s 1.25 touchdowns from the offense during that four-game span. That’s not good. The Cowboys have been able to keep things low-scoring during their two-game winning streak, but that’s not likely to happen this time. If they are to have a chance, they better come equipped with an offensive game plan to take some
Cowboys news: Micah Parsons the latest to say bring Mike McCarthy back
Photo by Brandon Sloter/Getty Images Your Sunday morning Cowboys news. Cowboys’ Parsons wants McCarthy, others back in 2025 – Todd Archer, ESPN The Cowboys best player jumps on the ‘bring back McCarthy’ train. While Micah Parsons is not ready to give up on 2024, the All-Pro pass rusher would like to see the Dallas Cowboys return all their key contributors for 2025, including coach Mike McCarthy. “I would like a fair shot with everyone back — players, coaches — because the injuries kind of struck of what this season could really be,” Parsons said in an interview with ESPN that will air before the Cowboys’ “Monday Night Football” matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. “The injuries have been terrible. And, you know, it really sucks. Seeing Zack [Martin], D-Law [DeMarcus Lawrence] not having the year I know he planned to have. He had such a great start. It really sucks. “In terms of coaching, man, Coach Mike, me and his relationship has always been really good. He always took real good care of me. I just don’t know how the business side of it’s going to go, you know? [Owner and general manager Jerry Jones] has his own mindset about who he wants to coach. This is his team. I’m kind of just, like, a pawn in this business.” In an interview with Yahoo Sports last week, quarterback Dak Prescott said he wants McCarthy to return and he “wholeheartedly” believes in him. The head coach is in the final year of his deal. Jones recently said on 105.3 The Fan that it would “not be crazy” for McCarthy to earn an extension despite the Cowboys’ record. Mike McCarthy support present throughout Cowboys’ entire locker room – Josh Sanchez, Sports Illustrated The confidence in head coach Mike McCarthy is everywhere in the Cowboys organization. This week, Dallas Cowboys star quarterback Dak Prescott made waves when he was open about his support for head coach Mike McCarthy. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones responded to Prescott’s comments about McCarthy, and now EVP Stephen Jones is sharing his thoughts on the situation and McCarthy’s future with the team. Jones spoke during an appearance on Shan & RJ on Audacy’s 105.3 The Fanand said he doesn’t think Prescott is the only player supporting McCarthy. In fact, McCarthy believes the “whole team” supports the head coach. “I think our whole team endorses Mike McCarthy. He’s got skins on the wall. He’s won a Super Bowl. He’s been in multiple championship games. He knows what it takes to win in this league,” Jones said. Jones was also asked whether wins and losses will be the deciding factor when it comes to McCarthy’s future. “No. I think we understand organizationally and we also have much, much respect for what you guys do, and obviously you have your opinions and influence our fans. And we know our fans have high expectations. But we also know what it takes to win in this league. We’ve won a lot of games over the years,” he said. “But we also understand that our fans are frustrated because we haven’t taken the ultimate step, which is win playoff games, get in championship games and Super Bowl games and win a Lombardi. We haven’t gotten that done, so it’s natural that the criticism comes our way.” Looking ahead to the coming coaching cycle – Jonathan Jones, CBSSports Despite the recent surge in pro-McCarthy sentiment, the Dallas Cowboys are expected to be among the teams searching for a new head coach at the end of the season. The Jets, Saints and Bears all have vacant jobs, and sources believe the Cowboys and Jaguars will have openings at the end of the year. The belief has been there will be between six to eight coaching jobs this cycle. But due to NFL rules, teams can’t perform even the quickest search for a coach until after the regular season is completed in January. Jourdan Lewis talks defensive improvements, Bengals ‘aggressive’ offense – DallasCowboys.com The Cowboys defense will have their hands full with a prolific Bengals offense. When the Cowboys and Bengals meet on Monday Night Football, a lot of attention will go to how Cincinnati’s high-powered offense will fare against a Dallas defense that has started to find its stride over the last few weeks. Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis acknowledged that despite the Bengals 4-8 record, they’re still a dangerous opponent. “Try to be aggressive, push the ball down field,” Lewis said of Cincinnati’s offensive style. “We got to be prepared to stop that because they got to a lot of playmakers that make plays and can burn us. We just got to go out there and execute, it doesn’t matter what their record is.” The Bengals are fifth in the NFL in points per game (27.9), first in passing yards per game (264.3), and ninth in total yards per game (356). Seven of their eight losses this season have come in one possession games and the Bengals average 27.75 points per game in losses, which is more than the Cowboys average per game this season (20.7). It’s safe to say it won’t be an easy challenge to overcome. “It’s tough,” Lewis said when asked how to stop a high-powered offense like Cincinnati’s. “You just got to give Joe [Burrow] a lot of different looks, a variety of different looks, and hopefully we can get some stops and just go out there and prepare our hearts and go out there and execute on those guys and challenge those receivers.” Let’s Assess the Cowboys’ Rookie Offensive Linemen – Rivers McCown, D-Magazine McCown takes a detailed look at both Guyton and Beebe and comes to this conclusion: You usually can’t write the book on a draft pick after one season. But after two seasons in the NFL, you have a good sense of what is happening. I don’t see what happened to Beebe or Guyton this year as disqualifying them from becoming solid, or good, or perhaps even joining Smith
Why Cowboys’ Micah Parsons, Jake Ferguson, Rico Dowdle should have field days vs Bengals
Why Cowboys’ Micah Parsons, Jake Ferguson, Rico Dowdle should have field days vs Bengals reidhanson Injuries and poor defense are shared character traits between the two teams meeting for Monday Night Football in Week 14. Not only do the Cincinnati Bengals have the 30th-ranked defense in the NFL but, just this week alone they’ve lost left tackle Orlando Brown, linebacker Logan Wilson and kicker Evan McPherson to injury. Not to be outdone, the Dallas Cowboys boast a cellar-dwelling defense themselves, ranking 28th in EPA per play in 2024. Injures continue to be an issue on both sides of the ball with left tackle Tyler Guyton, defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, and IR-bound Zack Martin all expected to miss action in Week 14. The shared dysfunction between the two teams promises for an entertaining evening as the offenses roll in what could become a comedic shootout. The Bengals remain one of the top offenses in the NFL this season. Led by Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati passing attack is of elite variety and the Dallas secondary will have their work cut out for them limiting the damage. Pressure on the passer will be paramount to the secondary’s success. Matchup winner No. 1: Micah Parsons . (Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images) Since returning from injury in Week 10, Parsons has been on a tear. The Cowboys All-Pro has logged seven sacks and averaging 5.5 pressures/game according to Pro Football Focus tracking. And he is doing it all without a pass rushing counterpart opposite of him on the defensive line. What has helped is the emergence of linebacker DeMarvion Overshown. Mike Zimmer has weaponized the explosive second-year playmaker and turned him into a blitz nightmare for opponents. It’s clear, Overshown is now drawing attention which only means good things for Parsons down the stretch. The Bengals are without their starting LT on Monday so matchups will be there if Zimmer is willing to exploit them. This may also be the first game all season Trevon Diggs, DaRon Bland and Jourdan Lewis all play together at the cornerback position. If this finally comes to fruition and the pass rush can do their part, the defense may shock some people against this highly feared Cincinnati offense. Matchup winner No. 2: Jake Ferguson Mandatory Credit: Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports After missing the previous two games to injury, Ferguson has cleared concussion protocol and returned to the field. It’s been a disappointing season for the 2023 Pro Bowler and Ferguson is hungry to notch his first 100-yard game of the season. Week 14 might be his chance. Not only is Cincinnati one of the worst TE-defending teams in the NFL, but they are now without star linebacker Wilson. Ferguson should see plenty of opportunity to make up for lost time against the sixth-worst TE-defending secondary, because the Cowboys are finally starting to trust their backup TEs, Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford, more in blocking assignments. Matchup winner No. 3: Rico Dowdle . Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Dowdle has quietly become a legitimate starting running back in Dallas this season and the Cowboys couldn’t be happier. Once stuck in a timeshare with Ezekeil Elliott, Dowdle has separated from the pack and now demands the lion’s share of opportunities. Just last week Dowdle ranked sixth in the bellcow report meaning he’s becoming on the NFL’s most leaned on RBs. Dowdle also broke free, so to speak, of his explosive play problem. After ranking near the bottom of the league in explosive play percentage most of the season, Dowdle found that extra shimmy and deployed that extra shake that’s needed to make the second level miss. The Bengals lean on zone defense so they’ll be begging Cooper Rush to dink and dunk them to death, but this isn’t bad for Dowdle who should see plenty of action in both phases of the game. Will it be enough? . Mandatory Credit: Sam Greene-USA TODAY Sports It’s hard to see this maligned Cowboys defense doing enough to slow the NFL’s passing leader and NFL’s receiving yards leader but if the Cowboys can get all three of their starting CBs on the field they may have a chance. A big day from Parsons should force some mistakes and with any luck the defense can help the Dallas offense score some points for a change. Rush has been struggling in this 2024 edition of the offense and consistently rates as one of the poorest starting passers in the NFL. To expect him to carry his own in a shootout is probably just wishful thinking. The Cowboys really need this game to stay low scoring so Rush can play within himself and play the methodical type of attack this Cincinnati defense begs for.

Andrew Dieb-Imagn Images Los Dallas Cowboys juegan contra los New York Giants el Lunes. Los Dallas Cowboys están buscando su tercer juego en una fila donde se gana y si quiere hacer necesitan suceder contra los Cincinnati Bengals.

Cooper Rush pasa para 3 touchdowns Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images En el momento la defensiva de Cincinnati es muy mal. Los Cowboys saben cosas muy mal está temporada, pero los Bengals están dejando otro ofensivas anotar mucho.

Ja’Marr Chase termina abajo de 100 yardas Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Ahora el líder de receivers in la liga en yardas especifica es Ja’Marr Chase. El van a presentar un problemo grande para Dallas. Todavia no sabemos si Trevon Diggs van a jugar en el juego, pero en total la defensiva de Dallas están jugando muy bien en las mas reciente semanas. Los Bengals tiene muchas jugadores que puede presentar una problema, pero creo que Chase especifica es un focus para Mike Zimmer y que el van a terminar abajo de 100 yardas.
Cowboys win streak has fans feeling a little bit better about franchise direction
Peter Casey-Imagn Images Cowboys fans are feeling a little bit better these days thanks to a small winning streak. The Dallas Cowboys two-game win streak has not only kept their slim playoff hopes alive, but has also lifted the spirits of some of the fanbase. Reality tells us the team isn’t likely going to the playoffs this season, but they have not given up the fight and are trying to build some momentum heading into the offseason. Of course, along the way, they are getting a worse draft position with their wins, but football teams aren’t built to tank, and the Cowboys are certainly not going to do that. Previous to the win streak, fans support for the team heading in the right direction was down as low as we had ever seen it, in the 2-3% range. Now, 29% of fans think things are heading in the right direction. That’s certainly not a majority, but players, coaches and broadcasters have come to the aid of beleaguered coach Mike McCarthy during the streak. It was assumed McCarthy would be done after the season but Jerry Jones recently floated the idea of re-signing McCarthy. Tom Brady gave him praise during a recent broadcast and then Dak Prescott went to bat for him. Stephen Jones even followed up with encouraging words. Conventional wisdom still holds that the Cowboys will have a new coach in 2025, but this recent uptick has muddied the waters a bit. If the Cowboys win against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night, the late-season turnaround talk may get stronger. How many Cowboys fans think Dallas will win on Monday night? Turns out that number is 43%. That’s more positive than the general public. The Cowboys are 5.5-point underdogs according to FanDuel. So if the Cowboys won they would also cover the spread. While 43% of Cowboys fans think that will happen, only 24% of NFL fans think the Cowboys will cover the spread.
Cowboys vs Bengals final Week 14 injury report: Diggs 50/50, Lamb, Ferguson updates
Could this finally be the week Cowboys fans have been hoping for, for the last 15 months? There’s a 50-50 chance that the Dallas secondary, the cornerback room to be exact, full of All-Pros will actually see the field together for the first time in their starring roles. 50-50 is the best it’s been in several months and the last time it was reachable things went sideways at the last minute. 2021 interceptions leader and All-Pro Trevon Diggs missed all of 2023 where interceptions leader DaRon Bland emerged as one of the best in the league. Diggs’ feat was the first time in 30 years someone in the NFL reached 11 picks in a year. Bland set the all-time league record with five interception-return touchdowns. But injuries have kept them from lining up opposite each other, ever. Week 6 was a false alarm, with Bland re-injuring his foot, but Week 14 appears to be the game as they face Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. When the two played together in 2022, Bland was an injury sub for first Jourdan Lewis and then in the playoffs he kicked outside for two games. Now, Lewis is working on the interior and Bland and Diggs will man the outside, provided Diggs knee works out in pregame warmups. That of course, isn’t the sole injury concern for Dallas, nor the only bit of good news. WR CeeDee Lamb and TE Jake Ferguson don’t appear on the injury report, so for the first time since Week 4, Dallas will have their three top weapons together as Brandin Cooks has played the last two weeks. Not everything is great, as Dallas learned this week they’ll be without nine-time All-Pro Zack Martin for the remainder of the year, and he’ll sit beside MVP runner-up QB Dak Prescott who’s also done for the season. The Bengals have their own injury concerns, with star linebacker Logan Wilson, OT Orlando Brown and DT Sheldon Rankins all out. Here’s a look at the complete list for both teams. Dallas Cowboys OUT RG Zack Martin, Ankle Safety Juanyeh Thomas, Knee QUESTIONABLE OT Tyler Guyton, Ankle/Knee LB Nick Vigil, Knee CB Trevon Diggs, Knee NO DESIGNATION WR CeeDee Lamb, Shoulder TE Jake Ferguson, Concussion DE Marshawn Kneeland, Knee DT Osa Odighizuwa, Shoulder LB DeMarvion Overshown, Hamstring QB Cooper Rush, Knee OG Tyler Smith, Ankle Wednesday (Thursday) Rest Day WR Brandin Cooks LB Eric Kendricks Safety Malik Hooker CB Jourdan Lewis Cincinnati Bengals OUT OT Orlando Brown, Fibula DT Sheldon Rankins, DT LB Logan Wilson, Knee QUESTIONABLE WR Charlie Jones, Groin NO DESIGNATION QB Joe Burrow, Right Wright WR Ja’Marr Chase, Ankle OG Cody Ford, Back OT Amarius Mims, Ankle CB Josh Newton, Ankle DE Joseph Ossai, Thumb TE Drew Sample, Ankle Wednesday (Thursday) Rest Day WR Tee Higgins
Cowboys injury report: Tyler Guyton, Trevon Diggs questionable for Monday
Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images Your latest Cowboys injury news. When the Dallas Cowboys play Monday against the Cincinnati Bengals, they have their slim playoff hopes alive. They can’t afford any more losses to make the postseason and will need help from other teams. According to our rooting guide, they’ll be crossing their fingers for upsets and some luck throughout the NFC. They’ll also have to make some luck of their own come Monday night. Unfortunately, some players won’t be able to help them in pursuit of their improbable playoff run against the Bengals. #Cowboys final injury report vs. Bengals. pic.twitter.com/gUQplZZZg1 — Patrik [No C] Walker (@VoiceOfTheStar) December 7, 2024 CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) was has no injury designation after two limited practices to end the week, so he is good to go. Trevon Diggs (knee) was limited Saturday and is questionable; Tyler Guyton (ankle/knee) did not practice Saturday, but the team optimistically ruled him questionable. DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring) also was upgraded to a full participant and will play against Cincinnati. Tyler Smith (ankle) and DaRon Bland (foot) logged three full practices this week and are good to go. Safety Juanyeh Thomas (knee) and guard Zack Martin (ankle) have been ruled out. Offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (fibula) and DT Sheldon Rankins (illness) are ruled out for the Bengals.
