In their preseason finale, the Dallas Cowboys were defeated by the Los Angeles Chargers 26-19 at AT&T Stadium. Trey Lance played the entire game for the Cowboys, showcasing a mix of impressive runs but struggling with five interceptions, including a critical pick-6. The Chargers started strong with a 70-yard touchdown run from Derius Davis and added a 78-yard touchdown pass from Easton Stick to Simi Fehoko. The Cowboys' running game showed promise, particularly with Deuce Vaughn and Royce Freeman, who collectively amassed 206 rushing yards. Despite the loss, the performance of the running backs may indicate a potential improvement in Dallas' rushing attack for the upcoming season. The game held significance for both teams as they make final roster decisions ahead of the impending cut down on August 27th.
