Before the 2013 season, the Dolphins played in the Hall of Fame Game against which team?

Before the 2013 season, the Miami Dolphins played the Hall of Fame Game against the Dallas Cowboys.

The matchup took place on August 4, 2013, at Fawcett Stadium in Canton, Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It served as the opening game of the NFL preseason and was linked to the induction weekend for the 2013 Hall of Fame class, which included former Cowboys guard Larry Allen and former Dolphins executive Bill Parcells.

Dallas won the exhibition game 24–20. Because the Hall of Fame Game is played before the regular preseason schedule begins, both teams played five preseason games in 2013 instead of the usual four. The game also gave fans an early look at Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill and new wide receiver Mike Wallace.

This question can cause confusion because the Dolphins and Cowboys met several times in ordinary preseason and regular-season games. The relevant game was specifically the 2013 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game in Canton, not a standard matchup in either team’s home stadium.
