The Cowboys will have another preseason test against an opponent they faced in the regular season last year on Saturday night. Currently holding joint practices against the Chargers, the two teams will meet for their second-to-last exhibition in Los Angeles.
While preseason opponents are often treated as nameless and faceless opponents for players fighting for roster spots, it’s hard to ignore the recurring issues the Cowboys faced in last week’s loss at the Broncos. The same team that shut down the Cowboys offense at AT&T Stadium last year and started a season-long slide for them brought the same physicality that Mike McCarthy’s team couldn’t match in a preseason debut.
