The Cowboys’ backup quarterback competition took a turn on Saturday night. After taking first-team reps for the past month, Garrett Gilbert had a chance to cement his spot as the backup to Dak Prescott. Unfortunately for the Cowboys, he did the opposite.
Gilbert had by far his worst performance of the preseason, completing just three passes for a mere 30 yards. Gilbert’s PFF offensive grade of 38.0 was the worst of any quarterback in the game. The 30-year-old signal-caller also once again failed to get the Cowboys in the end zone, giving him seven preseason drives with no touchdowns on the board.
