Cowboys face championship without Staubach
Dallas seeks to defend the Super Bowl title without Roger Staubach after shoulder surgery sidelined him two to three months. Craig Morton thrived in a 27-13 exhibition win over the Rams, while Maudon Daigeneau and backups provide depth as Dallas eyes trades to bolster quarterback depth during Staubach's absence. In Marfa, golfers Neilson and Renshaw tied for third in a two man best ball event, awarding bags to top finishers as rain affected rounds.
