Rush finished with just 45 yards passing.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the rough outing, Lamb is confident that Rush can turn things around this week against the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe work is going to get done,\u201d\u00a0Lamb said on Thursday. \u201cAnd, with me, I take full responsibility in getting in sync with him. We\u2019re going to ride this thing out through the rest of the season, so I have the most confidence in him. I don\u2019t care what happened last week, and last week is last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo with that being said, we\u2019ve got a game to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rush has put together some solid play during his time with the Cowboys. He took over for Prescott in 2022, going 4-1 in his starts and passing for 1,051 yards and five touchdowns.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>CeeDee Lamb Admits Situation With Dak Prescott \u2018Tough\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>The Cowboys inked both\u00a0Prescott and Lamb\u00a0to massive contracts before the season, locking in their two most essential playmakers on the offensive side of the ball.<\/p>\n<p>But Prescott being sidelined impacts how much Lamb can affect a game, which the All-Pro receiver openly acknowledged. Still, he tried to spin it in a positive direction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, being a receiver here, it\u2019s very tough [to lose Prescott],\u201d he said. \u201cBut going out here and knowing that I\u2019ve still got to showcase my ability, prove myself to my guys and uplift everyone that\u2019s in the locker room, and continue to fight within each and every individual that\u2019s out there. [It\u2019s about] having that effort. \u2026 And they\u2019ll need a lot of that, from everyone, on Monday night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for Prescott, Lamb knows it\u2019s hard for him to watch from the sideline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hate that for him,\u201d said Lamb. \u201cHe just had surgery and we pray for his speedy recovery. We\u2019re all thinking about him. But as far as for us, we\u2019ve got to go out there and compete for him as if he is there \u2014 as far as the competitive spirit, the leadership and everything he\u2019s expecting. We\u2019ve got to step up.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Trey Lance is Option if Cooper Rush Struggles Again<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Trey Lance: Find a Way to Help the Team | Dallas Cowboys 2024\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4e-DFg7d8cI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys have stumbled to a 3-6 record and have lost their last four games. If Rush struggles in his second start of the season, the team could turn to\u00a0Trey Lance, who has been waiting in the wings for an opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys traded for Lance prior to the 2023 season but he\u2019s yet to see extended action in a regular season game. He threw six passes during the blowout loss to the Eagles, notching 21 yards and an interception.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I get a chance to get on the field this week, great,\u201d\u00a0Lance said. \u201cIf not \u2026 [it\u2019s important to] just continue to keep growing and help the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lance was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 draft.
