The Chargers enter this game still seeking their first touchdown of the preseason. Last week, Cameron Dicker managed three field goals, but the team’s offense has struggled to find the end zone.

Backup quarterback Easton Stick completed only eight of 13 passes for 85 yards and threw an interception, while UFL quarterback Luis Perez showed some promise with 13 completions on 20 attempts for 78 yards.

The rushing game saw some improvement, with rookie Kimani Vidal gaining 49 yards on 11 carries.

On the defensive side, the Chargers have kept opponents to a maximum of 16 points in their preseason games, but the coaching staff is hoping for better offensive performance as they head into the regular season.

The Cowboys, on the other hand, are coming off a strong performance against the Las Vegas Raiders, winning 27-12.

Quarterback Trey Lance had a solid outing, completing 15 of 23 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for another touchdown. His performance has put him in a favorable position to claim the backup quarterback role.

Additionally, kicker Brandon Aubrey gained confidence by making a 66-yard field goal just before halftime, showcasing the team's overall improvement since their preseason debut.
