Sure that’s a pretty good stat line, but it’s only one game and a preseason game in that.

The same types of plays the beat the Rams last season managed to beat them to start off this preseason. He closed the comment with a laughing face emoji and three exclamation points.
“I think the best thing about Dak is that he is extremely calm”, Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant said.
“You know, those older players and established guys aren”t going to play a whole lot.
Minus Luck, backups Scott Tolzien and Stephen Morris teamed up to pull out the victory.
Prescott finished with 139 yards passing, on his 10-12 effort.
Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota played three series and went 5 of 5 for 45 yards, including a 31-yarder to rookie Tajae Sharpe.
He had two rushes for 13 yards and was sacked once.
The number one overall pick entered preseason as the number two quarterback on the depth chart.
In addition to Romo, Dallas didn’t use running back Ezekiel Elliott, tight end Jason Witten and tackle Tyron Smith.
Keenum played for six games and he completed 60.8 percent of his passes for 828 yards and four touchdowns against one interception. Goff was hit by linebacker Derek Akunne while he threw, disrupting the flight of the ball, and the turnover led to a field goal that gave the Cowboys their big halftime lead. The two incompletions were a result of drops. Many people thought they would sign a veteran free agent, but after last night, Prescott has been anointed the second coming of Jesus and the quarterback of the future.
Goff didn’t return in the second half after his non-throwing shoulder became stiff. In the first offensive series, they went three-and-out. Gurley, who was not practicing at the time because of a knee injury suffered in college, also jumped into the mix, much to the chagrin of Rams management and coaches.
RB Benny Cunningham scored the first LA Rams TD in over 2 decades in the first quarter with a 14-yard TD rush. With the Rams down 24-7, Mannion led the second half comeback going 18-25 for 147 yards and 3 touchdowns as well as an interception.

Dak Prescott got the start tonight at quarterback and certainly made his case with an incredible first half. The Rams offensive line had a hard time stopping anyone in the first half, failing both Goff and starting quarterback Case Keenum, while the wide receivers, who had major problems separating from coverage previous year, found some space Saturday but used stone hands to catch passes.
