Cooper Rush throws TD, pick-six in preseason return to AT&T Stadium as Ravens rout Cowboys 31-13
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Cooper Rush threw a touchdown pass and a pick-6 in his return to AT&T Stadium, and rookie Tyler Loop kicked five field goals as the Baltimore Ravens beat the Dallas Cowboys 31-13 in preseason action Saturday night. D'Ernest Johnson added a 2-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter for the Ravens (2-0). Loop — expected to replace longtime kicker Justin Tucker, who was released in the offseason following accusations of inappropriate behavior by massage therapists — connected from 53, 52, 42, 36, and 29 yards. He missed once, from 50. Cornerback Andrew Booth intercepted Rush and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown. Brandon Aubrey kicked field goals of 47 and 36 yards for the Cowboys (0-2). Rush, who spent seven seasons as Dak Prescott's backup in Dallas before signing with Baltimore in free agency, threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Keith Kirkwood on a fourth-down play early in the second quarter. He played the first half, finishing 20 of 30 for 198 yards with two interceptions. Rush's first interception came on a throw behind receiver LaJohntay Wester. Booth grabbed it and raced down the left sideline, dodging tacklers over the final 10 yards. Joe Milton, competing to replace Rush as Prescott's backup, went 9 of 18 for 122 yards and one interception over 3 1/2 quarters. He connected with Jonathan Mingo for a 49-yard gain to set up Aubrey's first field goal. Milton's interception came immediately after Dallas' Kemon Hall picked off a deflected pass. Milton's deep throw from midfield was intercepted in the end zone by safety Reuben Lowrey. Loop's fourth field goal came on a drive extended by a roughing-the-passer penalty against linebacker Darius Harris. Neither Prescott nor Ravens starter Lamar Jackson played. Prescott appeared briefly on the stadium's videoboard, urging fans to make noise before Rush's touchdown pass. Baltimore outgained Dallas 273 yards to 31 in the first half, running 50 plays to the Cowboys' 19. The Ravens had 16 first downs before halftime; Dallas had two. Keyon Martin gave the Ravens a 2-0 lead with a sack of Milton in the end zone on third-and-13 from the Cowboys' 3-yard line. Right guard Tyler Booker, Dallas' first-round draft pick, made his preseason debut and played into the third quarter. Mingo, who led Dallas in receiving yards with his lone 49-yard catch, left in the third quarter with a knee injury. The Cowboys, playing their first home preseason game, held a moment of silence before kickoff for victims of the July 4 flooding in Texas. UP NEXT:

Cooper Rush tosses TD pass and pick-6 in return to AT&T Stadium as Ravens beat Cowboys 31-13

Milton's interception immediately followed one by Dallas' Kemon Hall that deflected off the hands of running back Rasheen Ali.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Baltimore Ravens first quarter recap: Andrew Booth has a pick six!
The Baltimore Ravens won the opening coin toss and chose to receive. That is life in the preseason. While old friend Cooper Rush completed his first pass for a first down, things became more difficult for him after that. The Cowboys defensive front began to swarm Rush a bit and kept him on his toes for three straight plays which forced a Baltimore punt. Unfortunately matters went even worse for the Cowboys when they took over. The first play was a hand off to Miles Sanders for a gain of a yard and then he lost five on the next one. As if that weren't bad enough Joe Milton was sacked on third down in the endzone for a safety. The Ravens moved the ball down the field rather well across 15 total plays. Seriously. Dallas was playing their corners a bit off the line of scrimmage which was allowing for some easy pitches and catches. Thankfully the Cowboys stood tall once they got near the endzone and forced Baltimore to settle for a field goal which made the score 5-0. While the next possession saw Joe Milton complete his first pass on the night the next two after it were incompletions and Dallas punted it away. Things took a turn on the next possession. Cooper Rush threw a touchdown at AT&T Stadium once more, but as the opposing passer. Andrew Booth picked him off and took it back to the house! This gave the Cowboys a lead of 7-5 (funny score!) which is where things stood when the first quarter ended.

WATCH: Cooper Rush delivers a pick-six to his former team in preseason game vs. Cowboys
Cooper Rush telegraphed a pass to LaJohntay Wester, and it was picked by Andrew Booth and returned for 6 the other way Back in March, the Ravens signed Cooper Rush to a two-year deal to leave Dallas and become the backup quarterback for MVP candidate Lamar Jackson. Rush, one of the best backups in the NFL over the past five years, had a disastrous opening game for Baltimore, and the mistakes continued in his return to Dallas. A telegraphed pass attempt to LaJohntay Wester turned into a 40-yard pick-six for Andrew Booth. The 31-year-old Rush appeared in 38 games with a 9-5 record in 14 starts since he joined the Cowboys as an undrafted rookie in 2017. For his career, Rush has completed 330 of 554 passes (60.7%) for 3,463 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Last season, Rush started eight games for the Cowboys after Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending hamstring injury. Dallas went 4-4 during Rush's starts, and he ended the season completing 187 of 308 passes (60.7%) for 1,844 yards and 12 touchdowns with five interceptions.
