Minnesota Vikings safety Xavier Woods says the team prepared to face Dak Prescott, not Cooper Rush, heading into Sunday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Prescott, who is dealing with a calf injury, was limited in practice Wednesday through Friday and was listed as questionable on the final injury report. His status was in question throughout the week.

Rush ended up throwing for 325 yards and two touchdowns -- including the go-ahead score with less than a minute to play in regulation -- in a 20-16 Dallas victory.

"We were just preparing for 4 [Prescott]," Woods said. "We kind of thought they were going to still run the same offense. So, we just prepared for 4 all week. We didn't get the word [that Rush was going to start] until pregame, so we just prepared for 4 but we watched a couple clips of Coop. But during the week, we just prepared for 4."
