The Dallas Cowboys 2022 campaign got off to a rocky start against the Denver Broncos in the first week of preseason. With a long list of starters sitting out, the Cowboys leaned heavily on their young players to carry the load. The young depth of the team was put to the test with many players getting their first taste of NFL game action, on the road with altitude and intermittent rainfall adding to the challenge.
The Cowboys were unable to generate much in the way of a passing game, throwing for just 58 yards in the first half, finishing with 175 for the night. Adding to a largely ineffective passing game, the Cowboys were penalized 17 times for 129 yards. Let’s review the team report card to see which positional groups passed and who failed.
