Rivers went 8-of-11 for 92 yards and he had standout wide receiver Vincent Jackson there for him. Jackson grabbed three passes for 49 yards. Running back Ryan Mathews added a 15-yard touchdown run right before the two-minute warning, but a coach's challenge was needed to overturn the official's out-of-bounds call.
The Cowboys' Tony Romo threw a touchdown to Jason Witten in the second quarter, finishing his game with eight completions in 12 attempts for 58 yards. Running back Felix Jones continued his strong preseason, this time averaging eight yards per each of his seven carries.
