5 takeaways from the Cowboys disastrous loss to the Ravens
5 takeaways from the Cowboys disastrous loss to the Ravens originally appeared on The Sporting News For the second week in a row, the Dallas Cowboys were beaten badly, this time by the Baltimore Ravens, 31-13. To say it was hard to find any positives in this game would be an understatement. From the defense to the offense, the Cowboys looked horrible, and here is what we learned. The defense misses Micah Parsons Even though this was a pre-season game and a lot of the ones didn't play, they still were gashed on the ground by the Ravens to the tune of 155 yards, and that's without Derek Henry. Imagine if he had played. The Cowboys need Parsons back soon, and maybe this game will remind Jerry Jones why Parsons' leadership is needed. Joe Milton is no Cooper Rush Joe Milton once again had a subpar game. Throwing an interception and getting sacked for a safety. Meanwhile, former backup Cooper Rush proved to the team that they never should have let him go. Rush threw for 198 yards and one touchdown and had Cowboy fans wondering if the team made a mistake by letting him go to the Ravens, and the answer seems to be yes! The Cowboys still couldn't establish the run It was another embarrassing performance for the running backs in the Dallas backfield, rushing for a combined 49 yards. Who exactly is going to lead the team on the ground this year is still very much up in the air. The offensive line, at times, struggled Yes, Joe Milton didn't play his best, but neither did the offensive line allowing a safety and not helping establish the running game, which is an important part of this Dallas offense. If the Cowboys' offensive line can't do a better job of protecting the quarterback and dominating upfront, it's going to be another long year for the offense. No sense of urgency The Cowboys are still getting off to slow starts in games, which is a pattern they started last year. They'd get behind big in the first half and try to make a run in the second half and fall short. This time, however, the offense just couldn't get it going. The season hasn't even started and the Cowboys are already not looking like a playoff team.

Jim Harbaugh on NCAA punishment: "I'm done engaging"
The NFL and the Chargers officially had no comment on the NCAA's 10-year 'show cause' order on head coach Jim Harbaugh when both parties were reached on Friday. Harbaugh himself reflected that same sentiment during his press conference after Saturday's preseason matchup with the Rams. 'Like I told you last year, I'm not engaging,' Harbaugh said, via Khris Rhim of ESPN. 'I'm done engaging.' Instead of implementing a two-year postseason ban on Michigan, the NCAA elected to impose financial penalties and recruiting limitations as part of the final punishment issued in connection with the Connor Stalions advance scouting scandal. Harbaugh and the Wolverines won the CFP National Championship to cap the 2023 season, after which he left the program to become the Chargers head coach.
