Seattle Seahawks 26 - 27 Dallas Cowboys, Dallas four interceptions, summary: score, stats, highlights | NFL Preseason Week 3

The Cowboys defense were the stars of the show with four interceptions, taking them to victory over the Seahawks in their final preseason game.

FINAL: Seahawks 26, Cowboys 27

Cowboys defeat Seahawks 27-26L Game Summary

It was Drew Lock's time to shine in the Seahawks' preseason finale against the Dallas Cowboys. After missing a game due to covid-19, he hadn't seen as much playing time as his QB1 competition Geno Smith. Tonight was his big moment to prove why he should be the starter. 

Geno Smith still started out the game and completed three of six passes for 43 yards and a field goal drive. He wasn't in for long before Lock took over. Lock completed 13 of 24 passes for 171 yards and one touchdown, but three unfortunate interceptions.

The Seahawks had the lead the majority of the game, but they couldn't hold onto it. The Cowboys offense struggled, but the defense was their savior, with four interceptions (Israel Mukuamu, Nashon Wright, Markquese Bell, and Junayeh Thomas), two of which led to touchdowns for the Cowboys.

For the Cowboys offense, Cooper Rush started out at QB, but not for long - just one series that ended in them punting it away. Will Grier came in to play the next two and a half quarters and finished 12 of 22 for 88 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.

Thanks to the defensive turnovers, the Cowboys squeaked out a win to finish the preseason 2-1, beating the Seahawks 27-26. The Seahawks went 0-3 in the preseason.

The Cowboys play their regular season opener on September 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 8:20 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

The Seahawks play their regular season opener against the Denver Broncos on September 12 at 8:15 p.m. ET at Lumen Field in Seattle.

Cowboys players to watch

Malik Davis, RB

We know that Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard are Dallas' RB1 and RB2. And before the preseason, we thought we knew who the RB 3 was - Rico Dowdle. But since then, Malik Davis has emerged as a legit challenger for the position. In preseason game 1, Davis led the team in rushing yards with 51, averaging 5.4 yards per carry and had three catches for 16 yards. In game 2, he had eight carries for 37 yards and a touchdown.

DaRon Bland, CB

Since Jourdan Lewis has been out dealing with a hamstring injury, CB DaRon Bland has really stepped up. It was thought that Kelvin Joseph and Nashon Wright would be the two main CBs in the mix behind Trevon Diggs and Anthongy Brown, but then Bland came along and played better than both of them in the preseason.

Brett Maher, K

Maher won the kicking competition when the Cowboys waived Lirim Hajrullahu on Tuesday, leaving just Maher at kicker. That means he has to do well - no other options. He has had just one field goal opportunity in the preseason, a 61-yard attempt, which he missed. Tonight, he should get more chances to prove he's reliable as the Cowboys' sole kicker.

Former Rams LT Andrew Whitworth says people want him to join the Cowboys but do they want him?

While he’s most likely still capable of playing the kind of football that won him a Super Bowl this year, surely the idea is too farfetched, isn’t it?

Weather forecast for Cowboys vs Seahawks

Seattle and Dallas - the preseason so far

The Seahawks are coming into this game after two losses in a row, to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears. They started Geno Smith in both games, but Drew Lock is expected to get the majority of the work in tonight's game. 

The Cowboys are coming off of a win over the Los Angeles Chargers after losing to the Denver Broncos in week 1. The 32-18 victory came in large part thanks to Turpin's punt and kickoff returns.

Turpin's confident, and why shouldn't he be?

Seattle Seahawks special teams

In the preseason so far, the Seahawks have been struggling on special teams. In both weeks 1 and 2, they have allowed huge returns on kick and punt coverage. 

That's not good news going into a game against a Cowboys team playing their new returner KaVontae Turpin, who had a 98-yard kick return touchdown and 86-yard punt-return touchdown in Dallas' Week 2 game. 

"There is an enormous responsibility of who you are next to and where you are on the field and where the ball is kicked, and can you sense of where the returner is and all that." said Seattle head coach Pete Carroll. "And with their guy Turpin this week, he woke you up if nothing else did with a great game last week. We're on it, we're working it really hard."

The Cowboys lack of planning came back to bite them

The Cowboys were just dealt a huge blow with the loss of OT Tyron Smith just before the start of the regular season. 

Rookie Tyler Smith could be moved to the left tackle position to replace Tyron Smith now, but he's also dealing with an ankle injury. Connor McGovern was the one getting all the snaps at left guard before, but tonight he will start at center.

The Cowboys have had a lack of depth at tackle and wide receiver since earlier in the offseason after making some...interesting moves. Owner Jerry Jones has not been worried about it, when in reality, he really should have been. And now we see exactly why ignoring the problem or pretending it's all fine can come back to bite you. Jones was counting on Smith to stay healthy (something he hasn't been able to do in several years), released La'el Collins to meet the salary cap, and traded Amari Cooper for....I don't know why. They now lack depth at all those positions and injuries to the players Jones was counting on have ruined his (poor) plans.

Who is playing?

Who is playing for the Cowboys?

Though many NFL teams use the final preseason game as a dress rehearsal for the regular season, Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy has a different idea for his team. As they did last season, the Cowboys will rest their starters in the preseason finale. So don't expect to see Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons, or Ezekiel Elliott out there on the field. Rookie Tyler Smith will sit out with a minor ankle injury.

So who will play for the Cowboys? Backup quarterbacks Cooper Rush and Will Grier have been competing for the QB2 spot and both should get some playing time tonight. McCarthy said that Grier will get a good "chunk" of the work. 

Who is playing for the Seahawks?

The Seahawks, on the other hand, are likely to have some starters in. Their quarterback one is still unclear, as the competition between Geno Smith and Drew Lock has been so close that coach Pete Carroll is considering having two starters. Both have had playing time in the preseason and they will have time tonight, too. 

Neither Ken Walker (hernia) nor Rashaad Penny (COVID-19) will play.

Wide receiver and 2021 second-round pick Dee Eskridge will make his preseason debut after suffering a hamstring injury at the beginning of training camp. He didn't fulfill his potential in his rookie season due to a concussion, so this preseason game will be significant for him to prove himself.
