The game featured a remarkable performance by the Cardinals’ offense, which managed to crack the code on the previously formidable Dallas Cowboys’ defense. Arizona accumulated 400 total yards and averaged an impressive 7.5 yards per play. This offensive prowess came against a Cowboys team that had allowed only a combined 10 points in their dominant wins over the New York Giants and New York Jets.

Dobbs was the standout performer for Arizona, completing 17 of 21 passes and adding 55 yards on the ground. His 2-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Brown with 7:22 left in the game proved to be the decisive moment of the match, extinguishing Dallas’ comeback attempts.

Despite Dak Prescott’s efforts, where he completed 25 of 40 passes for 249 yards and a touchdown, the Cowboys were unable to overcome their penalty problems and overall sloppiness. They were flagged 13 times for 107 yards during the game.

The Cardinals set the tone early in the game with Dobbs’ 44-yard run on a well-executed option play. Arizona scored on all five of its possessions in the first half, taking a 21-10 halftime lead. Matt Prater kicked two field goals, and James Conner rushed for a touchdown from the 5-yard line. Rondale Moore added a 45-yard touchdown run for the Cardinals.

In the end, the Cardinals secured their first win of the season and handed coach Jonathan Gannon his first NFL victory. The Cowboys, who were favored by 11 points, suffered their first loss of the season and will look to rebound in the coming weeks.
