![]() Cowboys vs Cardinals: HistoryĪlthough the Cowboys have the lead over ex-NFC-East rivals Cardinals all-time, 56-33-1, they have not fared well against them on the road in recent year. So far, Dobbs has not won a single game that he's started (four total), including a 27-13 loss to the Cowboys when he played for the Titans last year. Instead, they have Joshua Dobbs at the helm, who will start against the Cowboys. The Cardinals have yet to win a game and are still without starting quarterback Kyler Murray, who also suffered a torn ACL last season. However, they've made some roster moves ahead of the game today and still have a lot of depth on defense. They lead the league in scoring defense, total yards per game allowed, passing yards per game allowed, sacks, and takeaways. So far, the Dallas defense has been a big part of the Cowboys' success. Unfortunately, today they will be playing without one of their best defenders, cornerback Trevon Diggs, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury. The Cowboys have been dominant in their start to the season, beating the Giants 40-0 and then the Jets, 30-10. The Arizona Cardinals are 0-2 and the Dallas Cowboys are 2-0 heading into the Week 3. The Cardinals get their first win to take their record to 1-2 and will face the San Francisco 49ers on the road in Week 4.Ĭowboys and Cardinals: Where do they stand? The Cowboys fall to 2-1 on the season and will look to bounce back when they host the New England Patriots next Sunday. By the end of the game, they'd been given 13 penalties. They had already racked up 11 of them before halftime even arrived. The Cowboys penalties cost them many yards and many opportunities. He did have 24 rushing yards on three carries, but lost 18 yards on two sacks. In the end, he completed just 25 of 40 passes for 249 yards, one touchdown, and the interception. ![]() In one, they turned it over on downs, and on another, Prescott threw an interception just as the game was winding to a close. On five different occasions, the Cowboys made it to the red zone and came away with a touchdown in just one of those occasions. Less surprising was the Cowboys' offensive performance, but disappointing still. They allowed just 10 points over the first two games, but allowed 28 to Arizona.Īs always, it was the ground game that was most difficult for them to stop, as they allowed Arizona to rush 222 yards on 7.4 yards per carry with Conner's and Moore's two rushing TDs. With 10 sacks through the first two games, they got just two against Arizona (one by Parsons, one by Lawrence). This Dallas D looked like a completely different group. But with players like Parsons, Gilmore, Odighizuwa, Wallace, and shouldn't have made that great a difference. Brown also added a TD, set up on a 69-yard play-action pass to Wilson and Moore added another.Īnd as for the Dallas defense, well - where were they? They did lose CB Trevon Diggs to a devastating ACL injury, which was a huge blow. But backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs also showed up, going 17-of-21 for 189 yards and one touchdown. Running back James Conner had 14 carries for 98 yards and a touchdown, which could have been expected as he's there best player on the Arizona offense. And yet, they were too much for the Cowboys to get past. The Cardinals offense only really had a few things going for them while the Dallas defense led the league in nearly every category. ![]() The tone was set in the beginning of the game, however, when the inactives list was announced and it included Zack Martin and Tyler Biadsz, and then we saw offensive lineman Tyron Smith standing on the sidelines when the offense came out to play. Of course, we knew that the Arizona Cardinals would be the Cowboys’ first real challenge, but still, they should have been the favorable team, and still, they didn't just lose. Just when you think they’re on to something, with the best defense in the league, they lose to a winless team with a backup quarterback. If there’s anything I’ve learned watching them in the last few decades, it’s that. Cowboys suffer first loss at the hands of winless Cardinals
