Trey Lance shines in Cowboys' win over Raiders

– The battle for the starting quarterback position with the Las Vegas Raiders remains uncertain following a preseason matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, where Trey Lance, a third-string quarterback, outperformed both Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew. Lance led the Cowboys to a 27-12 victory, showcasing his skills with a touchdown pass and a rushing touchdown, completing 15 of 23 passes for 151 yards. With Dak Prescott sidelined, Cooper Rush started for Dallas, managing only 6 yards on 1 of 3 passes in the first quarter. The highlight of the first half came from kicker Brandon Aubrey, who made a remarkable 66-yard field goal, which would have tied the NFL record if it had been a regular-season game. The Cowboys entered halftime with a 13-6 lead. O'Connell had a promising start for the Raiders, completing 14 of 20 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown. However, his performance was marred by a critical interception returned for a touchdown by cornerback Kemon Hall early in the fourth quarter. Minshew struggled during his time on the field, completing 10 of 21 passes for 95 yards, as the Raiders managed only a field goal during his four drives. In other news, Cowboys defensive tackle Mazi Smith did not travel with the team due to an allergic reaction experienced during training camp. Looking ahead, the Cowboys will host the Chargers next Saturday, while the Raiders prepare to face the 49ers on Friday night.
