ARLINGTON — The work week, leading up to Saturday’s 31-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, began with an admission about a mystery. In the words of Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer, there was a reason quarterback Joe Milton played more than Will Grier in the first preseason game against the Rams.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Cowboys’ wide receiver room, led by All-Pro CeeDee Lamb and newly-acquired WR2 George Pickens is the team’s best rated unit.
