The Dallas Cowboys first preseason game didn't go exactly how we would have liked. The positives were a strong performance from backup QB Brandon Weeden and an offensive line that looked very good. The defense was pretty much a disaster, but we still don't know if that's from the injuries or just lack of talent.
In this second game, we'll all finally get a look at Tony Romo in his first live action since the back surgery this offseason. Dallas has been playing it extremely safe with Romo, but tonight he finally tests his back under fire. Romo will be joined by some of his skill position compatriots in making their 2014 debut, that list includes Dez Bryant, DeMarco Murray, Jason Witten and backup running back Lance Dunbar.
On defense, there are still a host of players out due to injury, but the backups and the rest of the guys have a chance to redeem a poor performance against the Chargers.
Here is what you need to know for watching or listening to the game.
