Dak Prescott shines, Jared Goff struggles in Cowboys-Rams preseason opener

Many of those starters helped build a 21-7 lead in a little over a quarter of work. It would come to naught as the Cowboys failed to convert a fourth and one in the red zone, but it was a good play for him.

With Tony Romo sitting out, Prescott completed 10 of 12 passes for 139 yards and threw touchdown passes of 10 and 32 yards to Dez Bryant and Terrance Williams, respectively, in the first half of action. On the ground, Todd Gurley accumulated 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns while Tavon Auston had 434 yards and four touchdowns.

After spending the last 22 years without the National Football League, it seems they’re so happy to have it back they’ll set aside their critical eye and let the Rams ease their way back into their hearts. He made up for it Saturday.

“I got eight!” he said, and he plans to hold on to them for decades to come. The undrafted rookie free agent has worked mostly with the third-team defense during training camp. Jack Crawford and Cedric Thornton were the starting defensive tackles.

3-The Cowboys failed to return a kickoff or punt for a touchdown last season.

Murray, seeking a new start in Tennessee after struggling with Chip Kelly’s offense in Philadelphia last season, had six carries for 93 yards.

Case Keenum and Jared Goff combined to go 10-16 for 96 yards and an interception.

“It was a hot-1, and we didn’t watch that on film”, Whitehead said. This being the preseason opener, if you blinked, you could have missed the starters going up against one another. Prescott played the entire first-half and couldn’t have asked for a better debut.

– Reigning Heisman Trophy victor Derrick Henry rushed 10 times for 74 yards and a touchdown for the Titans. Showers’ numbers weren’t almost as impressive.

We are going to find out very shortly whether Romo will be allowed to get in a few pitches and catches with his wide receiver core and many expect that Dak Prescott is going to get the majority of the quarterback reps against the Rams, whether Romo decides to play or not. Showers finished 8 of 16 for 99 yards. The night belonged to third stringer Sean Mannion however, as he had the best day out of the three quarterbacks.

Goff did return for a second series and might have thrown his first touchdown pass, if rookie receiver Pharoh Cooper had not dropped the ball.

Today, they were overjoyed to give their full affection to a team again. Baltimore [six] was the only team with less. On Saturday, Cowboys defenders picked off two passes. Well, it’s probably too early to tell.

Former North Texas linebacker Derek Akunne hit Goff on a blitz, forcing the ball to pop up in the air.

Guys like Tavon Austin and Kenny Britt will be expected to carry most of the weight in the wide receiver department this year, but Highbee could turn out to be more of a reliable option as an effective pass-catching tight end. Olatoye has been working at multiple defensive back spots.

There’s been a ton of talk and numerous names thrown around since the Dallas Cowboys lost backup QB Kellen Moore to a broken ankle.
