In a pivotal matchup, the Arizona Cardinals secured a 27-17 victory against the Dallas Cowboys, effectively halting a five-game losing streak. The game took place in Arlington, Texas, where Jacoby Brissett stepped in for Kyler Murray for the third consecutive game.
Brissett showcased his versatility by throwing two touchdown passes and adding a rushing score, demonstrating his ability to lead the team in Murray”s absence due to a lingering foot injury. The Cardinals have struggled significantly when Murray has not been on the field, winning only twice in their last 18 games without him taking at least five snaps.
The Cowboys, who were looking to build on their momentum from a recent blocked punt recovered in the end zone by Marshawn Kneeland, found themselves unable to capitalize on that early boost. The Cardinals” defense and Brissett”s performance were too much for them to overcome.
This victory marks a crucial turning point for the Cardinals, providing them with renewed hope as they seek to improve their standing in the league. The team now looks ahead with optimism, while the Cowboys will need to regroup after this disappointing loss.
