The Dallas Cowboys want to prove their surprisingly successful 2016 season was not a fluke as they start their 2017 preseason campaign. The Cowboys will face the Arizona Cardinals to kick off the preseason schedule on tonight (5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET, NBC) in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game from Canton, Ohio.

You can watch the livestream of the game on NFL.com's Gamepass app.

The Cowboys, led by rookie quarterback Dak Prescott and rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott, stunned the NFL with an 11-game winning streak on their way to finishing with a 13-3 record and capturing the NFC East title.

Prescott, who took over after Tony Romo was injured during the preseason, played with poise of a veteran during the regular season and the question is whether he will continue to improve or suffer a sophomore slump. Prescott was helped by the performance of Elliott, who led the NFL in rushing with 1,631 yards while averaging a hefty 5.1 yards a carry.

Prescott, Elliott and the rest of the Cowboys starters are expected to play little, if at all, during the game.

The Cardinals are looking to rebound after a highly disappointing 2016 season. The Cardinals finished with a 7-8-1 record in 2016 after capturing the NFC West title in 2015. If the Cardinals are going to contend for a playoff berth in 2017, they will need quarterback Carson Palmer to rebound after a 2016 season that left some wondering if he should retire.

Arizona coach Bruce Arians has said none of the team's starters will play in the game.
