Jared Goff didn’t get the chance to make much of an impression in his first push for the Los Angeles Rams’ starting job. With the injury to Moore, Dallas has been forced to play Prescott as the backup to Romo out of necessity. After seeing Foles join the Kansas City Chiefs and the Cleveland Browns’ asking price for McCown too high, the Cowboys chose to slow down the search. 89,140 was the announced attendance at Los Angeles Coliseum. Rookie quarterback and No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff was a little rusty in his National Football League debt, throwing an interception on his second pass of the game.

Keenum played for six games and he completed 60.8 percent of his passes for 828 yards and four touchdowns against one interception. Throw it up to Dez Bryant, and he will go get it. Bryant only played a series or two, but he was up to his old tricks, coming down with two spectacular catches on the first drive, the second one coming in the endzone that should have fans itching for the regular season. The cornerbacks seemed to have decent coverage and rookie Anthony Brown, notably, was the first team slot corner. Bryant played in only nine games last season with 31 catches and three touchdowns because of a broken foot. He’s clearly feeling better. The goal of the offseason was to increase that total in 2016. The Rams open their NFC West schedule against a hungry San Francisco 49ers on September 12 in front of a Monday Night Football audience. Mannion went 18/25 with 147 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception.
The undrafted rookie out of Colorado will “probably miss a week or two” after being diagnosed with a left knee sprain, said Fisher.
“I just feel like we’ve got to come out faster, knock out some of the mental errors”, said running back Benny Cunningham, whose 14-yard run in the first quarter was the Rams’ lone touchdown in the first half.
This time Prescott faced adversity for the first time.
“Romo hasn”t played in preseason opener since 2012.
Say hello: The start of training camp for Lucky Whitehead has been so-so.
He did adjust to the pace of the game better after the first series and started looking more comfortable in the pocket.
Whitehead returned the opening kickoff 101 yards for a touchdown. He patiently waited for the hole to develop up the middle and exploded through.
Garrett said Prescott wasn’t flawless, pointed out a messed-up play call and saying the rookie might have made some better decisions.
The two incompletions were dropped passes by tight end Geoff Swaim. Repeat after me: It does not jeopardize his roster spot. After becoming the first National Football League coach in 20 years to keep his job following four consecutive losing seasons, Fisher knows that there’s a ton of pressure to achieve in his first year in LA.

The Cowboys drove from their own 16-yard line to the 50, when they turned the ball over on downs when Jameill Showers threw incomplete passes on third down and fourth down.
