Cowboys made very unique history with game-winning TD pass against Vikings

The NFL Research page on Twitter noted that the touchdown was the very first in league history where the passer’s first name and the receiver’s last name were an exact match. Coincidentally, the Cowboys also had a similar occurrence in 2020 on a touchdown where the passer’s last name matched the receiver’s first name — an Andy Dalton pass to Dalton Schultz.

Rush’s first touchdown pass of the game went to receiver Cedrick Wilson. Meanwhile, Cooper had already hauled in four touchdowns from Prescott earlier this season. But the stars finally aligned for the Cooper-to-Cooper connection and on the game-winning touchdown no less. All bets are off though if the Cowboys ever find a way to acquire this guy.
