The Dallas Cowboys’ first preseason game of the Brian Schottenheimer era is in the books, and the result was a mixed bag. Unsurprisingly, no starters played, and Dallas was largely vanilla in their schemes. The team started awfully slow, and came on a bit in the second half, but still lost the game. Not that wins and losses matter in preseason.

The Dallas Cowboys have two more preseason games to play, but these players are doing their part to prove they belong on the initial 53-man roster.

Preseason NFL football is finally underway, but no other teams rolled out their debuts in such grandiose fashion as the St. Louis Rams and the Dallas Cowboys at SoFi Stadium.
