While the Dallas Cowboys consider the potential retirement of star lineman Zack Martin, Dak Prescott reflects on the possible departure of Mike McCarthy as the team’s head coach.

With their Week 14 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals looming, neither team carries strong playoff aspirations. Ahead of the Cowboys-Bengals clash, we’ll dive into bold predictions for the game.

Dallas comes in riding a two-game winning streak, their second of the season. However, their 5-7 record reflects a season marred by injuries, including season-ending ones for Martin and Prescott.

The Bengals, with a disappointing 4-8 record, head into Monday Night Football with little on the line. Interestingly, the game wasn’t flexed to Sunday due to The Simpsons animation. Somewhere, Roger Goodell is likely smiling and counting profits. Let’s be clear: tossing two touchdown passes against the Bengals defense isn’t extraordinary. But for bold predictions, envisioning Rush hitting the end zone three times through the air stretches the imagination.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has taken note of Rush’s progress, as highlighted by Athlon Sports.

“As the No. 1 guy, you’re getting all the reps,” McCarthy stated. “It’s the same for anyone in that position. I just think he’s finding his rhythm with the team, especially with Brandin back. That throw was a confident and precise decision, and I think it’ll only improve.”

Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer echoed this sentiment, according to DallasCowboys.com, acknowledging Rush’s growing rapport with his receivers.

“I think you’d be mistaken to say no,” Schottenheimer responded when asked if Rush’s confidence was building week by week. “The more time you spend with him during games and on the sidelines during practice… it’s not just us as coaches, but the players he’s connecting with on the field.”
