Despite Ezekiel Elliott not seeing any action in the game, the Cowboys totaled 160 yards rushing. Darren McFadden led the way with 59 yards, all of which came during the team’s first two possessions, while Rod Smith wrapped up the night with 53 rushing yards, averaging 7.6 yards per carry. Alfred Morris also added 49 yards on the ground. Of course, the Colts are coming off a season in which they surrendered 120.4 rushing yards per game, a total that ranked 25th in the NFL.

An abundance of flags is often the norm during the preseason, as young players try to learn the NFL game, and the Cowboys have certainly continued that trend. They finished with eight penalties for 70 yards against the Colts, bringing their totals for the three preseason games to 26 flags for 226 yards. That’s an average of 8.6 penalties per game for a whopping 75 yards. But again, it’s not a sign of things to come. Last season, the Cowboys averaged 9.25 penalties per game in the preseason for an average of 81 yards, but during the regular season averaged 6.6 penalties for 55 yards, which ranked in the middle of the NFL pack.

Cooper Rush finished the game by completing 8 of his 9 pass attempts. His 88.9 completion percentage was tied for the second-highest mark among league quarterbacks in Week 2 of the NFL’s preseason schedule. That was even better than teammate Dak Prescott, who finished the night with an 87.5 completion percentage. Rush now has a 68.4 completion percentage overall in three preseason games.
