Nobody expected Dak Prescott, or any of the firmly entrenched starters, to play for a long time in the Cowboys’ first preseason game in San Francisco. Prescott only threw the ball four times, but he looked good in that limited action, connecting on all four of those throws (even if one was to himself) for 23 yards. More importantly, he wasn’t sacked at all, which was a recurring issue last season.
The 100% completion rate and 90.6 passer rating are encouraging numbers, but some may point to the measly 5.8 yards per attempt as a way to mitigate those stats.
