The Dallas Cowboys dominated the Arizona Cardinals 34-13 in Week 2 of the NFL preseason, improving to 2-0 on the season. The contest took place Saturday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, with the Cowboys’ offense putting on a strong display throughout the matchup.
Starting quarterback Joe Milton III led the Cowboys’ offensive effort with an impressive performance. The former University of Tennessee signal-caller completed 9 of 13 passing attempts for 179 yards and two touchdown passes. Milton III also contributed on the ground, rushing for two yards and scoring one additional touchdown on three carries. He finished with a quarterback rating of 151.4 and was not sacked during the game.
Backup quarterback Sam Howell also saw action for Dallas, completing 7 of 10 passes for 65 yards but throwing one interception. Howell added seven rushing yards on a single carry. Milton III, drafted in the sixth round by New England in 2024, was traded to Dallas for a fifth-round pick and continues to make his case as a capable backup in the quarterback competition.
