Dallas Cowboys' 'Cooper-to-Cooper' touchdown pass is a first of its kind, NFL says
Cooper Rush filled in for Dak Prescott to lead the Dallas Cowboys to their sixth consecutive win Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings.
The surprising 20-16 win included a clutch, go-ahead, 5-yard touchdown pass from Rush to Amari Cooper, who made the catch in the back of the end zone with less than a minute remaining. According to NFL Research, it’s the first time a quarterback’s first name has been the exact match of a receiver’s last name on a touchdown pass.
The Cowboys (6-1) are now sitting in the pole position with the other top teams in the NFC, including the Cardinals (7-1), Packers (7-1), Rams (7-1) for the top seed in the playoffs.
The Cowboys host the Denver Broncos (4-4) at noon at AT&T Stadium on Sunday.
