Dallas Cowboys achieve first 2-0 preseason start since 2007

The Dallas Cowboys have achieved a 2-0 preseason record for the first time since 2007, following a victory over the Arizona Cardinals. This follows a previous preseason win against the Seattle Seahawks. The team's defense has been a standout performer, allowing only 20 total points across the two games and preventing opponents from scoring touchdowns in the first six quarters of play.

Offensively, quarterbacks Joe Milton III and Sam Howell have led the team. Milton recorded 179 passing yards and two touchdowns in the game against the Cardinals, while Howell contributed 65 yards and one interception.

NFL preseason games serve as evaluation periods for teams to test roster depth and player combinations. While these games follow standard playing rules regarding scoring and penalties, they differ in overtime regulations, as preseason games can end in ties. Teams utilize these exhibition matches to prepare for the regular season before undergoing roster reductions from up to 90 players down to the active 53-man limit on cutdown day.
