Breakingnews: Cowboys news: Takeaways from Dallas’ second preseason game…see..more…

This wasn’t a dress rehearsal for the Cowboys because almost all of the starters were spectators, but they were able to get a long look at their projected left tackle, first-round pick Tyler Guyton, for the first half.

While he did not match up much against Raiders All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby, he was able to get looks against the Raiders’ first-team defense most of the half. Guyton continued to show he’s on the correct trajectory for the season opener when he will see a lot of Cleveland’s All-Pro Myles Garrett. The Cowboys were able to run for 114 yards in the first half and did not allow a sack. While all of that wasn’t due to Guyton, there weren’t glaring mistakes.

Backup quarterback Trey Lance’s first-half showing was promising against most of the Raiders’ defensive starters. After a sluggish start, he completed his final seven passes of the half, including a fade for a touchdown to Ryan Flournoy. He also ran for 34 yards, including a 20-yard gain that set up a 66-yard field goal from Brandon Aubrey.
