SEATTLE -- Dak Prescott knew he was starting the preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams. He knew he would replace Tony Romo after a few plays in the second preseason game against the Miami Dolphins.
Thursday night in Seattle was most like a regular-season moment for a backup quarterback.
Just three plays in, the Dallas Cowboys lost their starting quarterback, Romo, to a back injury. Though Romo could have potentially returned to the lineup in a regular-season game, the Cowboys chose to stick with Prescott.
The last time Prescott said he came in off the bench was his sophomore year at Mississippi State.
