“We played as one tonight for the most part”, said Prescott.

“I have to come up with that ball”, Cooper said later. Romo and Witten have not played in a preseason opener since 2012.
Two hours before the game, Irsay announced on his Twitter account that the Colts would wait until next week for Luck to make his first preseason start. He closed the comment with a laughing face emoji and three exclamation points. Obviously, Dallas head coach Jason Garrett would’ve preferred to emerge with a victory, but it there were a lot of positives to take away from the game for the Dallas Cowboys. He messed up a play call and could have had better decisions on a couple of plays.
San Diego Chargers (0-1) 10 Tennessee Titans (1-0) 27: Marcus Mariota was flawless, but the touchdown came from the ground, as DeMarco Murray, Bishop Sankey and Derrick Henry ran for a touchdown each.
While the Rams had not exactly gotten off to the ideal start, Keenum led his offense on an eight-play, 75-yard drive that culminated with a 14-yard Benny Cunningham rushing touchdown on his second drive.
Dak Prescott might not have answered all of the Dallas Cowboys’ backup quarterback questions, but the rookie gave the team a few reasons to believe he’s ahead of schedule in his development.
Bryant had two receptions for 28 yards, including a leaping catch on the sideline against cornerback Coty Sensabaugh for 18 yards. He played one series before leaving the game.
On the Cowboys side of things, this will be the first time fans get to see their own top-five rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott in action behind this great offensive line.
Prescott was drafted by the Cowboys in the fourth round of the NFL Draft.
He also outplayed the No. 1 pick in the draft, Jared Goff, who came into the game in the second quarter for the Rams and threw an interception. Prescott only threw 23 interceptions in college against 70 touchdown passes in 4 years. His only two misses were drops by tight end Geoff Swaim.
Goff didn’t return in the second half after his non-throwing shoulder became stiff.
Jared Goff’s National Football League debut was cut a bit short Saturday night when head coach Jeff Fisher sat him after only two series.
Rams current starting quarterback Case Keenum started the first three series for the Rams, completing six of seven passes for 58 yards and a touchdown. They later held games in Anaheim before moving to St. Louis for 1995.
Stephen Morris’ 57-yard touchdown pass to Chester Rogers with 10:42 left put Indianapolis ahead of Buffalo for good in Orchard Park, N.Y.
Well, after witnessing Dak Prescott start the game at quarterback, the Cowboys might not want to sign a veteran backup anytime soon.
Prescott state line: Prescott went 10 of 12, with one of his incompletions a bad drop, for 139 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Bryant made his debut on the Cowboys’ second possession – after Lucky Whitehead ran the opening kickoff back 101 yards for a TD -and capped the drive by snaring a pass from Dak Prescott and landing in the corner of the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown.
