“Prescott”s only incompletions were two dropped passes by tight end Geoff Swaim.

NFL Preseason football is effectively a practice game, so coaches work hard to get in backups and try to set the depth chart. The league does not announce the actual attendance figure. “To come here and see the fans’ support, not only from our fans, but the Cowboys’ fans made it a great competition”.
The fourth-round pick from Mississippi State found wide receiver Dez Bryant twice on jump balls on Dallas’ opening drive, including one for a 10-yard score. His four interceptions as a sophomore in 2013 placed him second in the SEC that year.

But there was an uncharacteristic finish, as the Rams’ deep reserves – particularly quarterback Sean Mannion – proved to be better than Dallas’ as Los Angeles rallied from a 24-7 halftime deficit to win 28-24. Shaneil Jenkins easily got around Folkerts and sacked Goff for a 9-yard loss. He got the start and went 10-12 passing with two touchdowns, playing the entire first half.
The clock showed 0:00 when McEvoy out-positioned and out-jumped Malcolm Jackson in the end zone, bringing the Seahawks to within one point in a game they had trailed all day. He said a pass over the middle to Pharoh Cooper might have gone for a touchdown if the rookie receiver had held on to the ball. Here are the five biggest things to pay attention to as the Cowboys approach their September 11 regular season opener against the Giants.
Allowing Lucky Whitehead’s 101-yard touchdown return on the opening kickoff was a memorable way to open the Rams’ second tenure in Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES As long-awaited sequels go, “Episode 50: Return of the Rams” opened in blockbuster fashion, even if the script didn’t quite go the way the live audience of almost 90,000 probably anticipated.
