The Cowboys ended their preseason with a lot to be excited about. Taking a 27-26 victory, the defense was the star of the show against the Seattle Seahawks. While second-round pick Sam Williams has been close to sacks all preseason, he got home against the ninth-overall pick and had a strong night overall, boosting confidence entering the season.
On the backend of the defense, safeties Israel Mukuamu and Markquese Bell continued their strong training camp and preseason outings with interceptions, representing the mantra Dan Quinn has instilled. Takeaways aren’t going anywhere. After leading the league in 2021, the Dallas defense has shown that it’s not farfetched to expect the same in 2022.
For the tight ends, Peyton Hendershot may have secured his spot with a strong preseason finale and Dallas has planned well for the future amid the uncertainty of Dalton Schultz. This and more in four takeaways from a strong preseason finale with the Buccaneers just two weeks away.
