After their victory on Monday night, the Dallas Cowboys find themselves in second place in the NFC East with a 2-1 record. The win showed the Cowboys are far from done despite being down their starting quarterback as they return home to take on another rival. The Washington Commanders will visit in Week 4 and they are coming off a blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles as all four division foes squared off last weekend. At 1-2, the Commanders haven’t won since their opener and they’ll be hoping to respond after getting embarrassed at home in Week 3.

It’s the third-straight start for quarterback Cooper Rush, who has yet to lose in Dallas. The team is inching closer to getting Dak Prescott back, but going 3-0 without him would be an impressive feat. Here are six things to know about team standing in the way of that goal.
