The Cowboys won on Saturday night, largely thanks to Joe Milton taking a step in the QB2 battle. The Arizona Cardinals were beaten badly in the preseason by the Dallas Cowboys, but the real story isn't the lopsided scoreline, it's what the film reveals about Dallas's quarterback situation.
Sunday's review of Saturday's game film could lead to a winner in the quarterback decision. Milton's performance against a struggling Cardinals defense offers a legitimate audition tape, and the tape doesn't lie. When you're evaluating QB2 candidates, preseason execution against live competition matters more than the final score ever will.
The Cowboys have done something for the first time since 2007, which adds context to how they're approaching this roster moment. Milton's step forward in the QB2 battle gives Dallas options they haven't had in years.
