After a stumbling 0-2 start in the preseason, the Dallas Cowboys coasted past the Atlanta Falcons to get the win in front of the home fans at AT&T Stadium, the first for Brian Schottenheimer as head coach of the Cowboys.

FOX Sports sideline reporter Jennifer Hale reported Friday night Atlanta Falcons' Jeff Ulbrich left the team before kickoff against the Dallas Cowboys.

University of South Carolina defensive line coach Travian Robertson was hospitalized Friday after he was involved in a serious car crash, according to the school. ESPN reported that the 36-year-old Robertson was hospitalized “with a significant lower leg injury.” Robertson played defensive tackle for the Gamecocks from 2007 through 2011.

Expert recap and game analysis of the Dallas Cowboys vs. Atlanta Falcons NFL game from August 22, 2025 on ESPN.

Jones has gone public with his side of the ongoing dispute over contract negotiations, which has only added more fuel to the fire. He recently claimed that he offered Parsons a massive new deal, one that Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta, outright rejected. But that was later disputed, with Mulugheta refuting the claim as false.

Kirk Cousins, who they signed to a massive multi year free-agent deal last year has already been pushed to the background after he struggled towards the end of last season and was replaced by Michael Penix Jr. who the team drafted in the first round.

Former Michigan State Spartans running back Nathan Carter has been a standout in the Atlanta Falcons preseason.
