Trey Lance, the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, was traded to the Lone Star State prior to the 2023 NFL season, but he hasn’t played in a game yet.
On Sunday, the Cowboys were expected to defeat the New York Giants handily, and that is precisely what happened.
Persona 1 on Fox Sports During the blowout, Skip Bayless took to X and demanded that Trey Lance, the third-string quarterback, get some playing time.
Still, he failed to acknowledge Lance’s inactivity.
This would be a good spot for Trey Lance to get some snaps.

Lance has not played a snap in a game since joining the Cowboys in a late-August trade with the 49ers. Instead, he has spent his time in the lab and on the practice field.
On game days, he has been Dallas’ backup quarterback behind Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush. He is only allowed to play if both the starter and the backup are hurt and ruled out of the lineup.
Fans criticized Skip for being ignorant of the regulations:
He can't. Emergency QB only

Emergency qb. Understand the rules of the sport you cover for a living.

Learn the rules. He can’t play unless Dak and Cooper Rush are physically unable to play. Reserve QB.

Sunday’s game was so easy for the Cowboys to win that it wasn’t even close. Prescott gained a ton of yards even though he didn’t even end the game with the huge lead.
Prescott finished with 404 yards and four touchdowns on 26 of 35 throws, along with one interception. He also got two scores on 17-yard carries.
