The Arizona Cardinals finally snapped their five-game losing streak, and they did so in convincing fashion with a 27-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cardinals, who started 2-0, are now 3-5, while the Cowboys, defeated by the Denver Broncos last week, fell to 3-5-1 heading into their bye week.
All eyes were on the Cowboys entering this game after that brutal loss at Mile High, but the Cardinals also came into this game desperately needing a win to not only get the good vibes back into the locker room, but also to keep the season afloat.
Jacoby Brissett returned to the starting lineup for Arizona, while Kyler Murray remains out with a toe injury. Brissett, however, was the right man for the job from the beginning, and Marvin Harrison Jr. was his right-hand man.

The second-year receiver had a fantastic night, totaling seven receptions and 96 yards in the first half with the first touchdown of the game on a beautiful throw that left cornerback Da’Ron Bland off guard.
However, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense – averaging more than 30 points per game this season – couldn’t find a rhythm against the Cardinals defense. They lost it on their first drive and were left empty-handed.
After a Cowboys point, Harrison’s touchdown made the score 10-0, and tight end Jake Ferguson’s fumble in Arizona territory ended another promising Dallas drive. But the Cowboys’ special teams responded when Sam Williams blocked a dot that bounced off his helmet and rolled into the end zone, where Marshawn Kneeland recovered it for a touchdown.

Brissett and the Cardinals responded immediately, going 74 yards in 11 plays before Brissett crossed the goal line.
As the third quarter began, Michael Wilson immediately put the Cardinals in positive territory when he caught a ball from Brissett and ran 50 yards to the Dallas 24-yard line. A few plays later, tight end Trey McBride made it 24-7 with a nice scramble on the right side of the color paint.

Dallas added a field goal, then Prescott connected with Ryan Flournoy for a short touchdown to cut the deficit to 10. With Arizona’s recent losses coming down to one score, this one still felt far from over.
Dallas got another stop on defense, but it was the Cardinals defense that came out with a massive play during the next drive. Prescott was blitzed and threw the ball immediately to running back Javonte Williams, who wasn’t ready to be hit right away by a Cardinals defender. During the tackle, the ball was torn from Williams’ arm and Akeem David-Gaither recovered it before he left the field.
That play came with 4:46 left in the game, and just when it looked like there was a chance for another epic collapse, Arizona finally got the play they needed.
On the scoreboard, Brissett was 21 of 31 for 261 yards with two touchdown passes despite being sacked five times by the Cowboys. McBride finished with five receptions for 55 yards, while Emari Demercado led the way on the ground with 79 yards on 14 carries.
