The Arizona Cardinals secured a 33-30 overtime victory against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8 at AT&T Stadium. Despite the Cowboys holding a 24-10 lead entering the fourth quarter, the Dallas defense collapsed, allowing Arizona to force overtime. The comeback was orchestrated by backup quarterback Gardner Minshew, who replaced starter Jacoby Brissett in the third quarter. Minshew completed 17 of 23 passes for three touchdowns. The game was extended to overtime after Minshew connected with Michael Wilson for a touchdown with six seconds remaining in regulation, following a missed extra point by kicker Chad Ryland. In overtime, Ryland redeemed his earlier miss by kicking a 42-yard game-winning field goal. The win moves both teams to a 3-5 record and marks the Cardinals’ fifth consecutive win at AT&T Stadium, extending their perfect 5-0 record at the venue since 2009. Individual performances included Tyler Allgeier, who recorded 191 scrimmage yards and a career-long 63-yard touchdown run. For Dallas, Dak Prescott completed 19 of 29 passes for 195 yards but faced four sacks. The loss for Dallas was further characterized by offensive inefficiency, as the team averaged only 2.4 yards per carry on 39 rushing attempts. Following a defensive stop in overtime, the Dallas offense failed to capitalize, resulting in a three-and-out that ended the game. The matchup was marked by several injuries, including an ankle injury to Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love, as well as injuries to running back Bam Knight and receiver Michael Wilson. For Dallas, tight end Jake Ferguson also left the game early with an ankle injury. Following the defeat, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stated he is not currently considering changes to the coaching staff, despite mounting pressure on head coach Brian Schottenheimer and defensive coordinator Christian Parker.
