The Dallas Cowboys preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks turned out to be a physical, hard-hitting affair right out of the gate. In some ways, it almost resembled a real honest-to-goodness football game. And right away, Cowboys Nation was given a scare they likely won’t forget all season. Let’s dive right into the winners and losers of the game.
Winners
Tony Romo - Romo a winner? Didn’t he hurt his back and have to leave the game? Yes, this is all true. But, he would have been able to go back in if it was the regular season. He took an awkward hit that directly jarred his back and could have remained in the game.
“In a weird way I feel good about the fact that – that was probably as tough a hit I took on the back as I have in the last five years,” Romo said. “From that regard, I feel very lucky that it can hold up and you can keep going.”
“At the moment when you go down – you crunch. And so your back gets squished,” he said. “You kind of feel the, almost like a sensation of if someone gave you a stinger in your shoulder or something – where it just feels hot for a second and then that just dissipates after a minute.”
Romo lives to fight another day, so he gets the winner treatment.
Dak Prescott - Prescott was forced into duty quickly, with no mental warm-up as Romo unexpectedly went down. He was in a very hostile environment against a very skilled and physical defense. Yet, he managed to do just fine. He was 17 of 23 for 116 yards with one touchdown. His QB rating was a very respectable 99.2. Most of all, he looked calm given the environment. Game by game, everybody is getting more comfortable with the idea the kid can play.
