Backups flop, Cowboys drop third preseason game to Cardinals 27-3

Welp, that was a bit of a mess. The Dallas Cowboys (or at least the remnant that was on the field) were trounced by the Arizona Cardinals by a score of 27-3. Only a field goal in the closing seconds kept it from being a shutout. But, given that the Cowboys did not put their starting QB, RB, and three of the expected opening game offensive linemen on the field, it may not be all that surprising.

The offense struggled a lot in the first half, committing three turnovers. Cooper Rush threw a pick six to Patrick Peterson in the first half, then got picked by Budda Baker in the end zone to crush what had been a nice two minute drill to end the first half.
