OFFENSE:

  • Quarterback Case Keenum finished 26-for-37 for 221 yards and two touchdowns. He finished with a passer rating of 103.5.
  • It was the first time since Weeks 12-13 of the 2017 season that Keenum has posted consecutive games with a 100.0-plus passer rating in his career.

  • Keenum is 56-of-81 in the first two games, giving him a completion percentage of 69 percent. That is a career high for him through the opening two weeks of a season.
  • Keenum has 56 completions in the last two games, which is the second most of his career in a consecutive game span. He had 60 completions in Week 5-6 of the 2018 season.
  • This was the 22nd game of Keenum's career that he has thrown for two or more touchdowns.
  • Running back Adrian Peterson rushed for 25 yards on 10 carries and hauled in two receptions for seven yards.

The sack was his 12th against the Cowboys and moved him past Clyde Simmons (11.5) for the fourth-most against Dallas in NFL history since sacks became an official statistic in 1982. Kerrigan's 12 sacks against Dallas are his most against any team.
