Overview

  • With Dak Prescott sitting, Joe Milton started and led Dallas to touchdowns on its first two drives before exiting late in the third quarter.
  • Milton finished 10-of-18 for 132 yards with a 1-yard rushing score and a 29-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Brooks after converting a fourth-and-1 with an 18-yard designed run.
  • Brandon Aubrey drilled a 64-yard field goal to end the first half, adding to his reputation for long-range accuracy.
  • Coach Brian Schottenheimer has emphasized extended evaluation of Milton, acquired in an April trade with New England, after limited production and turnovers earlier in the preseason; Will Grier took over to close the game.
  • Star pass rusher Micah Parsons was present on the sideline but visibly disengaged during his contract standoff and trade request, as noted during the broadcast.
