Prescott scores 2 TDs; Keenum rebounds

-

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys had another efficient preseason showing.

Andy Dalton bogged down a bit with his Cincinnati Bengals.

Prescott led a pair of scoring drives in three possession­s, capped by a scrambling 6-yard scoring pass to Terrance Williams, before the Bengals rallied after halftime for a 21-13 exhibition victory Saturday night.

The Bengals had just two first downs in three Dalton-led possession­s a week after he threw for two touchdowns with an offense that was revamped after finishing last in the NFL.

BEARS 24, BRONCOS 23

In Denver, Case Keenum moved the chains for the first time for the Broncos in a 24-23 exhibition loss to the Chicago Bears on Saturday night, and Chad Kelly threw another touchdown after leapfroggi­ng Paxton Lynch on the depth chart.

Lynch’s second straight poor performanc­e opened the door for the Bears to come back from a 23-10 fourth-quarter deficit.

Bears backup QB Chase Daniel threw two TD passes in the final five minutes, including a 12-yarder to tight end Ben Braunecker with 1:53 left to tie it.

TEXANS 16, 49ERS 13

In Houston, Deshaun Watson threw a touchdown pass and the Houston Texans earned a preseason win over the San Francisco 49ers. Watson led the Texans down the field, going 5 of 8 for 73 yards, capped off by a 1-yard touchdown pass to Bruce Ellington.

CHARGERS 24, SEAHAWKS 14

In Carson, Calif., Philip Rivers and the Chargers looked almost ready for the regular season from their first series.

Melvin Gordon rushed for a short touchdown to cap a strong 70-yard opening drive by the Chargers’ first-team offense, and Rivers went 6 of 7 for 62 yards in Los Angeles’ preseason victory over the Seahawks.

The Seahawks’ Russell Wilson was 13 of 21 for 193 yards while playing the entire first half for the Seahawks (0-2). His offense was limited to two field goals by execution mistakes in the red zone, and Wilson was repeatedly flushed from the pocket.

BUCCANEERS 30, TITANS 14

In Nashville, Tenn., Jameis Winston gave the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a potent reminder of what they will miss when the quarterbac­k sits out his three-game suspension to start the regular season.

Winston threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns after coming off the bench in the second quarter, and the Buccaneers beat Tennessee in the teams’ second exhibition game.

RAMS 19, RAIDERS 15

In Los Angeles, rookie John Kelly rushed for 56 yards and a touchdown, and the Rams welcomed the Raiders back to the Coliseum with a preseason victory over Oakland.

Chris Warren rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown for the Raiders in their return to the venerable stadium that was their home for 13 seasons during their largely successful tenure in Los Angeles.

JAGUARS 14, VIKINGS 10

In Minneapoli­s, Yannick Ngakoue had an 11-yard sack that helped Jacksonvil­le’s defense hold Kirk Cousins and Minnesota’s starting offense to three completion­s and three points, and the Jaguars reserves rallied for a victory over the Vikings.
