Decisive Performances

The Dallas Cowboys secured their first victory of the preseason with a 17-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks, thanks largely to the dual-threat performance of receiver Camden Brown. Brown hauled in two touchdown passes, providing the offensive spark that separated the two squads at Lumen Field on Sunday.

Brown finished with three receptions for 62 yards and two scores. His first came in the second quarter on a 39-yard connection from quarterback Sam Howell, followed by a two-yard grab in the third period from Joe Milton III. Both touchdowns were accompanied by successful kicks from Brandon Aubrey, extending the Cowboys' lead to 10-7 before halftime and ultimately 17-7 after the third quarter.

Game Flow

Seattle opened the scoring early in the first quarter when quarterback Drew Lock found Montorie Foster Jr. for a five-yard touchdown pass. Jason Myers’ extra point gave the home team a 7-0 advantage that held until the second period.

Dallas responded with a field goal from Aubrey, cutting the deficit to 7-3 before Brown’s long touchdown strike turned the momentum. The Cowboys added their final points in the third quarter on Milton III’s connection with Brown. Despite outscoring Seattle 17-0 over the final three quarters, Dallas could not overcome the early hole, and the Seahawks failed to score again.

Statistical Breakdown

Lock completed nine of 13 passes for 40 yards and one touchdown for Seattle. Running back George Holani provided the bulk of the ground game for the Seahawks with 12 carries for 42 yards. Foster Jr. led Seattle in receiving with five catches for 36 yards, including his touchdown.

For Dallas, Howell completed 12 of 15 passes for 107 yards and one touchdown before being replaced by Milton III, who contributed the second score. Malik Davis led the Cowboys’ rushing attack with seven carries for 39 yards. The defense held Seattle to just 40 passing yards, limiting their offensive output significantly after the opening drive.

Final Standings

The result leaves Dallas at 1-0 on the season, while Seattle drops to 0-1. The game marked the first meeting between these two franchises in this preseason cycle, with both teams now looking ahead to their next scheduled contests.
