LAS VEGAS — Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy wants quarterback Trey Lance to find a comfort zone and play within his capabilities. Forget living up to being the No. 3 overall pick by San Francisco out of North Dakota State in 2021, the key is assuring McCarthy the Cowboys didn't make a mistake in trading for him nearly one year ago. The 24-year-old acquitted himself quite well Saturday in Dallas' 27-12 exhibition victory in Las Vegas. After starting quarterback Dak Prescott's backup, Cooper Rush, played the entire first quarter, Lance threw for 151 yards and completed 15 of 23 pass attempts, including his first touchdown as a Cowboy over the final three quarters.
