FRISCO, Texas — Owner and general manager Jerry Jones wants Cooper Rush to make life difficult for the Dallas Cowboys. He wants Rush, the backup quarterback, to play so well that there would be controversy as to whether Dak Prescott would assume the starting role once he is healthy enough to play after undergoing right thumb surgery last week. «Of course I would.

Of course. That means we'd have won,» Jones said. «If he comes in there and plays as well as Prescott played, Rush? Played that well over these next games ahead?

I'd walk to New York to get that.» As Jones spoke, thoughts of 2016 danced in his words. Prescott was a rookie fourth-round pick that year, filling in for an injured Tony Romo, who hurt his back in a preseason game.

After losing the season opener that year, the Cowboys won a franchise-record 11 straight games and Romo never regained his starting position.
