The Dallas Cowboys have quietly turned into one of the most formidable teams in the NFL over the past three weeks.
After Dak Prescott went down with an injury, many thought the season was over. But Cooper Rush’s emergence has changed everything. He has led the squad to three consecutive wins and has Dallas legitimately breathing down the Philadelphia Eagles’ neck for first-place in the division.
Most recently, the Cowboys made easy work of the Washington Football Team (a.k.a the “Commanders”) on Sunday. It was a dominant showing that left little question about which team was truly superior.
In the aftermath, a video featuring some Cowboys cheerleaders went mega-viral. It’s easy to see why:

Fans loved it. So much so, in fact, that it led to both participants’ Instagram accounts blowing up with new fans.
The uptick in engagement on their old posts is quite noticeable:

This isn’t the first time in recent weeks a Cowboys cheerleader has blown up online. Another one’s provocative photos also left quite the impression last week.
Big picture, will be fascinating to see where the Cowboys go from here. Obviously they have a bit of a dicey situation on their hands with Rush and Prescott. Players have already weighed in on who they believe should be the starter when Prescott gets healthy, but it’s not up to them.

Over the next two games Dallas will square off against the Los Angeles Rams and the Eagles. That will provide a telling image of where this group stands.
If the Cowboys can come out 2-0 against those squads, the Super Bowl chatter will undoubtedly intensify.
The team’s cheerleaders have had a lot to cheer about this season. Will the trend continue? Time will tell.
