The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Seattle Seahawks 17-7 in both teams' preseason opener, played Saturday night, Aug. 15, at Lumen Field in Seattle. Undrafted rookie wide receiver Camden Brown caught two touchdown passes to lead Dallas past the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks.
Brown's first score came on a 39-yard pass from Sam Howell in the second quarter, putting Dallas ahead 10-7. His second, a 2-yard fade route, came from Joe Milton on Dallas' opening drive of the third quarter. Milton finished 12 of 15 passing for 107 yards, while Howell went 8 of 12 for 94 yards, as both quarterbacks competed for the Cowboys' backup job behind Dak Prescott. Seattle's established starters did not play; third-string quarterback Jalen Milroe went 5 of 8 for 36 yards passing and added 36 rushing yards but took three sacks and fumbled a snap exchange.
Because it was a preseason opener, with reserves and rotational players seeing most of the snaps for both teams, the result carries limited bearing on the regular season. Predict Six's community had forecast only a 14% chance of a Cowboys win; the actual outcome resolved against that majority vote.
