Overview
- The Cowboys beat the Seahawks 17-7 in their preseason opener on Saturday as Sam Howell and Joe Milton each led touchdown drives and neither committed a turnover.
- Howell started and completed 8 of 12 passes for 94 yards while Milton finished 11 of 13 for 96 yards and added 22 rushing yards on four attempts.
- Coach Brian Schottenheimer praised both quarterbacks for scoring and protecting the ball and singled out Milton’s short-yardage value on quarterback sneaks.
- Howell’s 18 prior NFL starts give him a clear experience edge while Milton’s arm strength, mobility and sneak ability make him the intriguing developmental option.
- Dallas will keep evaluating both QBs in practice and remaining preseason work before naming a clear No. 2, and the game also raised the profile of undrafted rookie receiver Camden Brown.
