Rookie Dak Prescott looks like Cowboys’ answer at backup QB

“A lot of confidence in me, they had a lot of confidence in me”. The league does not announce the actual attendance figure.

“It was a great evening”, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said, via MyNewsLA.com.

Moments after the stadium erupted in cheers as the Rams took the field in Southern California for the first time since 1994, it fell into groans when Dallas returned the opening kickoff 101 yards for a touchdown.

Dallas turned that turnover into a field goal and a 24-7 lead, and Goff looked more comfortable in his second series. In the receiving end, Terrance Williams had 840 yards and three touchdowns in 52 receptions while Jason Witten added 713 yards and three touchdowns in 77 receptions.

Jarrett Bell of USA Today Sports noted that Dak Prescott looked like the first overall pick compared to the Rams’ Jared Goff, who played badly in his first preseason game. The rookie quarterback’s first pass was incomplete.

Mannion threw three touchdown passes in the second half to rally the Rams.

“He stood in there and took a hit and spread the ball around and knows where to get rid of the football”, Fisher said.

It appears that rookie fourth-round pick Dak Prescott has this thing handled.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is not ready to nominate rookie quarterback Dak Prescott for the Hall of Fame, but he is ready to close the door on bringing in a veteran to backup up starting QB Tony Romo. Green, who did not play as a rookie last season because of hip surgery, started at left tackle with Smith sitting. Mannion completed 18 out of his 25 passes, threw for 147 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception per nfl.com. He was six of seven for 58 yards. Goff completed four out of his nine pass attempts and threw one interception in the process per nfl.com.

Third string quarterback Jameill Showers went 8-16 for 99 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. Todd Gurley did not play for the Rams.

Two hours before the game, Irsay announced on his Twitter account that the Colts would wait until next week for Luck to make his first preseason start. So we got all of those impressions. After a few drives ended on short completions and short run gains, the Rams finally got into a groove.

“Celebrating a new era of NFL football in Los Angeles, we deserve it!” yelled Rachel Barbosa, 40, tailgating outside the Coliseum, where the unmistakable smell of sausages and beer marking an NFL game day hung in the air.

When TMZ Sports followed Jones and his family (accompanied with a police escort) to a stop after the game in Los Angeles, Jones was asked why he hasn’t pursued an opportunity to sign Johnny Manziel.

But it was Prescott’s poise, composure and demeanor in working with the first-team offense in the spotlight environment of the Rams’ first game in Los Angeles in 21 years that stand out the most.

Fans from all around Southern California arrived by vehicle, foot and train, as the LA Metro ran trains every six minutes to help transport fans choosing to pay $1.75, rather than spending upwards of $80 on parking at the arena.
