Cowboys Vs Chargers: How To Watch & Listen

The Dallas Cowboys (0-1) return to action Saturday night versus the Los Angeles Chargers (0-1) in SoFi Stadium, as they look to bounce back from last week’s 17-7 snoozefest of a loss to the Denver Broncos, and both teams are searching for their first preseason victory.

While preseason games don’t matter during the regular season nor in the playoffs, this game will help coaches evaluate some of their young players. Also, maybe they can work on cleaning up their penalty problems.

If you’re looking for players to watch for in this bout, I would include:

  • QB Will Grier: With QB Cooper Rushs’ poor performance last week against the Broncos, we could see Grier make up some ground in the QB2 battle with a solid showing. While this one game wouldn’t give him the backup gig off-the-bat, grabbing the coach’s attention now doesn’t hurt, and I won’t have to stress about who’s backing up (Dak) Prescott anymore.
  • WR Dennis Houston: A UDFA out of Western Illinois, Houston keeps making highlight plays in practice, and because of it, we may see him earn a role in the WR rotation this season. Also, it would be ironic if another UDFA WR made the roster, given the franchise’s history of churning out undrafted guys into stars.
  • CB DaRon Bland: CBs Kelvin Joseph and Nahshon Wright didn’t perform well last week, and now if Bland balls out–the front office may see someone expendable. While fans shouldn’t panic thinking they could become roster casualties, don’t sleep on Bland seeing early playing time.

Check out how you can watch and listen to your beloved Cowboys below, and remember, it’s just the preseason. You don’t win the Super Bowl in the preseason.
