of quarterback Dak Prescott on just one drive.Prescott made the most of his brief appearance in the preseason opener for Dallas by throwing a 30-yard touchdown pass to rookie Michael Gallup on his only drive before the San Francisco 49ers rallied with two late touchdowns to beat the Cowboys 24-21 Thursday night."I thought it was a good drive by our offense Authentic Travis Frederick Jersey , a good mix of run and pass," Garrett said. "Dak made some good decisions. He made a really nice run too keep the drive alive. We got the one-on-one opportunity down the sideline. Michael made a really good release and it was a good throw and catch."Nick Mullens threw a 7-yard TD pass to Richie James Jr. with 18 seconds left to cap the comeback. Jeremy McNichols scored on a 1-yard run with 4:24 to go for San Francisco.San Francisco's Jimmy Garoppolo didn't fare as well as Prescott in his first game action since signing a $137.5 million, five-year contract this offseason. Garoppolo completed 3 of 6 passes on his one drive."We're trying to do something different things and see what works and what doesn't," Garoppolo said. "We haven't been in that situation in a year and you try to get things rolling."More concerning for the 49ers was the fact that six players left with injuries in the first half with the most concerning ones being shoulder injuries to tight end George Kittle and running back Matt Breida that could sideline them for "some time," according to coach Kyle Shanahan."It's what you scares you about training camp, it's what scares you about the preseason," Shanahan said. "You just want the game to end."Prescott sat out the first exhibition game last season but got one series of action against the 49ers this year and looked sharp. He completed all three of pass attempts and converted a third-and-9 with a 12-yard scramble.He capped his night with the deep ball to Gallup, who beat Jimmie Ward down the sideline. Ward got the start at cornerback in place of Richard Sherman, who is nursing a hamstring injury.With the release of three-time Pro Bowl receiver Dez Bryant and the retirement of 15-year tight end Jason Witten, the Cowboys are searching for receiving threats this preseason. Gallup, a third-round pick out of Colorado State Authentic Leighton Vander Esch Jersey , has been impressive so far in camp."That's a good feeling," Gallup said. "Especially for me being so young and being a rookie and everything, I needed that boost of confidence. It was a good feeling."NATIONAL ANTHEMNo players on either team kneeled during the national anthem, although 49ers receiver Marquise Goodwin did raise his right fist throughout the song. The Niners have been at the center of the protests during national anthem ever since Colin Kaepernick began kneeling two years ago. Eric Reid protested last year but both players are no longer with the team. Linebacker Eli Harrold also kneeled during the anthem the past two years but stood to start this season.INJURIESThe Niners had a parade of injuries early, starting with LB Malcolm Smith limping off with a hamstring issue on the opening drive. TE George Kittle and backup RB Matt Breida left with shoulder injuries. Thomas and backup tackle Garry Gilliam were sidelined by concussions and Harrold had a lower leg injury.Cowboys OL Marcus Martin limped off the field in the second half with a toe injury, S Marqueston Huff left with a groin injury, and WR Marchie Murdock had an ankle injury.NOTEWORTHY PERFORMANCESJoe Thomas got the start at linebacker for Dallas in place of Sean Lee and delivered an interception against C.J. Beathard on a tipped pass by Kavon Frazier. ... Cowboys rookie RB Bo Scarbrough had a 28-yard run and scored a 1-yard TD in the second quarter. ... James had four catches for 46 yards and fellow rookie Dante Pettis caught a 53-yard pass .HELMET FOULThere was one penalty under the new rule prohibiting players from leading with their helmets. San Francisco LB Elijah Lee was called for the infraction on a tackle against Scarbrough in the third quarter.NEXT UPCowboys: Host Cincinnati on Aug. 18.49ers: Visit Houston on Aug. 18. Seattle coach Pete Carroll says there's some mystery surrounding Arizona quarterback Josh Rosen as the favored Seahawks face the Cardinals on Sunday.Rosen didn't play much in the preseason and was in on 11 snaps late in his NFL debut in last Sunday's loss to Chicago."We'll have to wait and see, so we'll be ready to adjust," Carroll said. "With so many young quarterbacks that have just had startling entries into the league and done so many things, we're going to count on Josh (Rosen) being on it and whipping the ball around like he can."That would be a change for a somnambulant Arizona offense that ranks dead last in the NFL in pretty much every category. The team has three touchdowns in three games as it looks to avoid its first 0-4 start since 1986, two years before the franchise moved from St. Louis. There have been many bad teams since then Youth Deonte Thompson Jersey , but they all managed to win an early game.The Seahawks (1-2), meanwhile, are 4-0-1 in their last five visits to the desert. But Seattle has had some rough times in newly renamed State Farm Stadium, including that infamous goal-line interception in the Super Bowl, and a bizarre 6-6 tie with the Cardinals.They aren't the old "Legion of Boom" defense, but they are still a formidable obstacle for the Arizona rookie."For the most part, I'm just trying to complete balls to the receivers, get the ball moving down the field, maybe extend plays a little bit, use my brain," Rosen said. "I think I'm a pretty good overall quarterback Womens Zack Martin Jersey , and I'm looking forward to getting on the field."The Seahawks rolled on the ground in last week's win over Dallas, but the Cardinals expect to have to deal with the ducking, darting and passing of Russell Wilson, too.Here are some things to consider when the Seahawks face the Cardinals:GROUND GAMEAfter saying for the entire offseason they were going to prioritize the run game, it took until Week 3 for the Seahawks to actually show it.The result was 102 yards rushing and a touchdown from Chris Carson and the kind of offensive efficiency the Seahawks were hoping to find. Carson was the first Seattle running back to top 100 yards since late in the 2016 season, but it was also the performance of the Seahawks' revamped offensive line that allowed it to happen. D.J. Fluker played his first game after missing the first couple of weeks due to a hamstring injury. J.R. Sweezy moved to left guard for the first time in his career. And that will likely be the alignment again this week, except with starting center Justin Britt expected to return after playing only a few snaps on special teams last week due to a shoulder injury.MORE DAVIDThe Cardinals haven't gotten the dynamic big plays they have expected from running back David Johnson, an All-Pro two years ago when he led the league in yards from scrimmage and touchdowns. Johnson was off the field during a critical third-and-2 situation late in the loss to Chicago. He told reporters he was yanked after messing up a blitz pickup the previous play. The coaches wouldn't talk about it after Johnson's comments.As for Johnson's situation, offensive coordinator Mike McCoy said "any time you have a player like him you're trying to get him the ball. ... I understand the type of player he is and how we're going to use him moving forward. "FITZ'S 19thRosen would be the 19th quarterback to complete a pass to Larry Fitzgerald in the wide receiver's remarkable career. Fitzgerald has high hopes for the youngster."There's no reason for him to be uncomfortable," Fitzgerald said. "He's got all the ability. He's extremely intelligent. He's prepared by a wonderful quarterback coach in Byron Leftwich. We've got to go out there and make plays for him."BROWN'S BACKJaron Brown hadn't really thought about seeing his old team until Carroll called him in for a meeting early in the week."He just talked to me, kind of what to expect and really to control your emotions and stay in the game Womens Cole Beasley Jersey , and gave me some pointers with that," Brown said. "Obviously, this will be my first time being put in this position. It was kind of good to hear that."Brown spent his first five seasons with the Cardinals before signing with Seattle in the offseason. His opportunities have been limited so far — just nine targets — but he caught his first touchdown pass last week against the Cowboys.Seattle's air game could get a big boost this week if Doug Baldwin is able to return from a sprained knee suffered in the opener.SAFETY PLANBradley McDougald and Earl Thomas have been two of the top safeties in the league through three weeks.Thomas, despite the turmoil surrounding his unhappiness about his contract and desire to be traded, is tied for the league lead with three interceptions, two coming last week against Dallas. McDougald has two interceptions, four passes defensed and 17 tackles.Seattle has already forced eight takeaways, tied for second in the league.AP Sports Writer Tim Booth contributed to this report
