Greg Zuerlein of the Cowboys kicked a 31-yard field goal to open the scoring before later missing from 40, 53 and 52 yards.

Baltimore receiver Dez Bryant was set to play against his former club for the first time until he was pulled off the field about 30 minutes prior to kickoff after testing positive for COVID-19.
