The Dallas Cowboys have lost five games in a row, but it does not sound like they will be making a quarterback change.
The inability of Cooper Rush to generate points has been a talking point among the media. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was even asked on the radio Tuesday if the team might switch from Rush to Trey Lance. Jones seemed committed to Rush, and Mike McCarthy is as well.
McCarthy told reporters on Tuesday that Rush will remain the Cowboys’ starting quarterback for Week 12.

Though Rush will continue as the starter, the Cowboys may give Lance a package of plays.
Rush went 32/55 for 354 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception in the Monday night loss to the Texans. That represents an improvement over his play the week before, when he went 13/23 for just 45 yards.
The Cowboys must really lack confidence in Lance if they are sticking with Rush. Lance went 4/6 for 21 yards with an interception in a Week 10 loss to the Eagles.
Dallas is now 3-7 and 0-5 at home this season.
