Milton Shines in Cowboys Preseason Win | Lubbock News

Joe Milton is heating up for the backup QB role with a dazzling preseason performance against Arizona, throwing two TDs and running in another score to lead Dallas to a 34-13 win. His 53-yard bomb and 70-yard strike set up his short TD run — proving he can deliver big plays. With his third season under his belt, Milton’s pushing hard to lock down the No. 2 spot behind Dak Prescott, even as Sam Howell battles him with starting experience — though Howell threw an interception. The Cowboys’ defense also stepped up early, forcing a turnover that led to one of Milton’s scores, while Arizona’s offense unraveled due to penalties undoing key drives. Both teams are still fine-tuning ahead of the regular season, but Milton’s play is a major bright spot for Dallas as they fight for consistency at QB2.
