INGLEWOOD, Calif. — With the Cowboys opening the preseason at SoFi Stadium against the Rams on Saturday, it brought back memories for quarterback Dak Prescott. It was 10 years ago that Prescott earned his first NFL start, in the preseason, in a 28-24 loss to the Rams.

The preseason begins for the Los Angeles Rams today as they host the Dallas Cowboys at SoFi Stadium. It comes after these two teams squared off in a joint practice earlier this week in Oxnard, so they'll get another chance to go toe-to-toe on the field.
