NFL Preseason Week 2 Game Recap: Baltimore Ravens 31, Dallas Cowboys 13

Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Cooper Rush looked Tez Walker's way early and often, and by the time the first quarter concluded, the second-year wideout was the recipient of six targets, which he turned into five catches and 46 yards. On the contrary, the entire Dallas Cowboys offense managed 31 yards in the first half.

It was an ugly affair in general, with Rush throwing two picks, Joe Milton III stumbling through the contest and starters logging minimal snaps. But Walker was a constant in the first 30 minutes of game time.

His final six-catch, 61-yard stat line was one of the few offensive highlights in the Ravens' 31-13 triumph over the Cowboys in preseason Week 2.

Dallas cornerback Andrew Booth Jr.'s pick-six on Rush and the pass-rush acumen of Baltimore rookies Aeneas Peebles and Mike Green stood out on defense. New Ravens kicker Tyler Loop finished 5-of-6 on field goals, making two 50-plus-yarders.
