Dallas Cowboys defeat Seattle Seahawks 17-7 in preseason opener

The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Seattle Seahawks 17-7 in their preseason opener at Lumen Field. The game was highlighted by the standout performance of undrafted rookie wide receiver Camden Brown, who recorded three receptions for 62 yards and two touchdowns, including a notable one-handed catch.

In contrast, the Seahawks struggled with offensive efficiency and defensive pressure. Seattle's offense managed only 156 total yards, and the defense failed to record a sack. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance, stating that their “operation is not up to par” and that improvements are needed in communication and execution across both phases.

Quarterback rotations included Drew Lock and Jalen Milroe for Seattle, while Dallas utilized Sam Howell and Joe Milton III. While the Seahawks' performance raised concerns regarding depth and pass rush, individual players like Montorie Foster Jr. and Tyrice Knight showed promise.
