The Cowboys needed everyone to pull through and carry them to a win Sunday night in Minnesota.
But who shined the brightest? Our writers ranked the top players on the field against the Vikings. Spoiler alert: There might be a player or two named Cooper on this list.
We ranked the top players from Sunday's win over the Vikings. Which Cooper did it best and would you believe someone else actually took the No. 1 spot? Check it out.
11. Ezekiel Elliott – Wasn't his best game on the stat sheet but Zeke arguably had the play of the game with his second and third effort run to get the first down and extend the drive for a winning touchdown.
10. Jourdan Lewis – Another guy who had some timely tackles in the second half to get the Cowboys off the field. He was tied for third on the team with five tackles and he also hit the quarterback on a rush.
9. Tarell Basham – The stat sheet says one tackle and one hit on the quarterback. But Basham was literally in the backfield all night, harassing Cousins and meeting Gregory back there on just about every snap, especially at the end.
8. Anthony Brown – Brown had some big hits on the ball, with two pass breakups. He made a nice tackle on the final drive to keep the runner in bounds and the clock moving.
7. Cedrick Wilson – He set the tone in the second half with a 73-yard touchdown catch from Cooper Rush. He also threw a 35-yard pass in the third quarter, showing off his versatility.
6. CeeDee Lamb – Came up with big catches throughout the game, racking up 112 yards on six receptions.
5. Zack Martin – Someone from the offensive line has to make it and it's usually Martin, who has graded out better than any offensive player so far this year, according to PFF.com. Martin did his part to keep Rush upright among the Vikings pressure.
4. Randy Gregory – He recorded the only sack for the Cowboys and provided constant pressure on the edge, especially on the final drive with the Vikings looking to take the lead.
3. Cooper Rush – What a moment for his first NFL start. While he had an interception and lost fumble, Rush rebounded in the second half to throw for 325 yards and two touchdowns to keep the Cowboys' winning streak alive.
2. Amari Cooper – Not only caught the game-winner in the back corner of the end zone, but he had two huge receptions on the final drive that led to the victory.
1. Micah Parsons – Became the first rookie in NFL history to record four tackles for loss, along with 10 solo tackles in a game.
