Jerry Jones praises the Cowboys’ running attack after Javonte Williams rushed for over 150 yards against the Eagles—the first 150‑yard game by a Dallas back since 2016. Jones says a run‑first approach opens up the playbook and gets Dak Prescott under center more often. Coach Brian Schottenheimer brushes off media criticism, while rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. describes his “surreal” start in Dallas. Jones also hints that Hall of Famer Troy Aikman could assume a front‑office role. Ahead of Week 8, the Cowboys face a Cardinals run defense that may improve with Jeremiah Love’s return.
The Arizona Cardinals, after trading Marv Harrison and placing Jalen Brooks on IR, held workouts for four receivers and a quarterback. They signed veteran wideout Zay Jones, who previously logged 20 catches for 267 yards in 19 games with the team and suffered a season‑ending Achilles tear in 2025. The other participants were QB Jack Plummer, who led the UFL in passing, and receivers James Proche, Xavier Guilloy and Ronnie Bell, all fringe NFL players. With Simi Fehoko stepping into Brooks’ spot, the Cardinals now have a reshaped receiving corps that includes rookie Reggie Virgil and returner Devin Duvernay.

In Week 8, the Dallas Cowboys aim to extend their first recent winning streak under head coach Brian Schottenheimer by taking on a historically dominant Arizona Cardinals at AT&T Stadium. Dallas comes off a Monday night victory over the Eagles, while Arizona is reeling from a loss to the Broncos and poor home attendance despite Larry Fitzgerald’s Hall‑of‑Fame celebration. The Cowboys lead the all‑time series 1‑8 since 2008 and will rely on Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and a bolstered defense featuring Joey Porter Jr. and Christian Parker. A trade rumor linking the Cowboys to Cardinals pass rusher Josh Sweat adds intrigue to the matchup.
During Denver’s 30‑16 win over Arizona on Oct. 24, longtime Broncos broadcaster Dave Logan highlighted an unprecedented sea of orange in State Farm Stadium’s lower bowl, noting it was the most visiting‑team fan presence he’s ever seen. The sight underscores the Cardinals’ 10‑game home losing streak, even as the franchise honored Larry Fitzgerald with a Hall of Fame ring, Ring of Honor induction, and jersey retirement. The overwhelming Broncos fan turnout raises questions for Arizona ownership about rebuilding fan confidence and restoring a true home atmosphere.
The Arizona Cardinals are bringing back a familiar face to help address their wide receiver problems.

The Dallas Cowboys released running back Emari Demercado and tight end D.J. Rogers on Oct. 27, 2026, a day after a 38-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles that lifted the team to 3-4. Demercado, waived twice this month, had been inactive for the Eagles game and logged only five carries for 15 yards in two appearances. He originally joined Dallas from the Chiefs after final cuts on Aug. 30 and was expected to contribute on special teams under offensive coordinator Klayton Adams. Rogers, an undrafted TCU rookie, never played a regular‑season snap and was on injured reserve following an MCL sprain. The moves come as Dallas battles injuries at linebacker and safety ahead of its Sunday matchup with Arizona.

The Arizona Cardinals place fourth‑year wideout Jalen Brooks on injured reserve after a season‑ending injury, ending his 81‑yard, five‑reception campaign. On the same day, the team re‑signs offensive lineman Austin Deculus (#75) and safety Wydett Williams Jr. (#31) to the practice squad while releasing safety Jerrick Reed II. The moves were announced at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center in Tempe.
The Arizona Cardinals have reached the red zone seven times in their last two games but scored only one touchdown, prompting head coach Mike LaFleur to defend starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett. While fans advocate for rookie Carson Beck, LaFleur says the fix may be simpler: returning first‑round running back Jeremiyah Love from a left‑ankle injury. Love’s presence boosted the offense to 25 points per game, compared with just 16 in his absence, and could restore a balanced attack ahead of the Week 8 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.
The Arizona Cardinals sit at 2-5, sparking fan frustration over a defense that's worse than expected and an offense that hasn't improved despite Jacoby Brissett's 21 PPG (12 games) and 20.3 PPG (7 games) under coaches Drew Petzing and Mike LaFleur. SB Nation Reacts asks whether the team should abandon Brissett now and give rookie quarterback Carson Beck his first start, seeking fan confidence in the franchise's direction.
The Dallas Cowboys snap a slump with a Monday Night Football win over the Philadelphia Eagles, improving to 3‑4 and staying within striking distance of the NFC East lead. Their next five games feature a soft schedule—Cardinals (2‑5), Colts (2‑5), 49ers (6‑1), Titans (1‑6) and a rematch with the Eagles—leaving only one tough opponent. Yet doubts linger: the Cowboys have lost eight of the last nine matchups against Arizona, and they remain a work‑in‑progress that can lose to anyone. The article polls fans on whether Dallas can string together victories or fall prey to the Cardinals’ “curse.”
A new report dampens hopes for the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals as they hunt a franchise quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft. Both clubs sit 2-5 after seven weeks, with veteran Geno Smith and Jacoby Brissett likely on their way out. Although the 2027 QB class was projected as talent‑rich—featuring Arch Manning, Dante Moore, CJ Carr, Darian Mensah and Trinidad Chambliss—scouts now flag serious flaws, even praising a former walk‑on, Drew Mestemaker, as a top prospect. NFL executives warn the class’s overall value is declining, meaning the Jets, especially without a top‑three pick, may face a disappointing rookie QB. The article explores the implications for both franchises.
After a severe concussion ended Dante Moore’s Oregon Ducks career, the former top‑five 2026 draft prospect now eyes the 2027 NFL Draft. Sportsnaut breaks down his five best landing spots, highlighting the Cleveland Browns as the top choice—thanks to a quarterback‑friendly scheme, emerging weapons like KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston, and two 2027 first‑round picks that could be used to trade up. The New York Jets, Atlanta Falcons, and Arizona Cardinals also make the list, each offering strong offensive pieces and draft capital. Moore, now projected as a top‑20 pick, could reshape any of these franchises with his arm talent.
Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur has been quick to say nothing is changing about Carson Beck's role. That was until Monday.

With the NFL trade deadline set for Nov. 10, Sportsnaut flags five struggling clubs as prime sellers. The Washington Commanders, likely to fire Dan Quinn, should move veterans like Stefon Diggs, Daron Payne and cornerback Amik Robertson. The Philadelphia Eagles could offload Saquon Barkley, Marquise Brown and several 2027 free agents as they contemplate a rebuild. Winless Los Angeles Chargers are urged to trade Khalil Mack, Donte Jackson and other under‑performers before a possible 0‑8 start. The Arizona Cardinals are also listed, though the excerpt cuts off before detailing their targets. Each team’s suggested trade candidates aim to accelerate long‑term improvement.
Week 8 fantasy quarterback rankings highlight Josh Allen as the clear top pick, returning after a Bills bye with 1,504 passing yards, nine TDs and 240 rushing yards in six games. Drake Mayen (NE) and Joe Burrow (CIN) also offer strong upside against Miami and Tennessee, respectively. Bye weeks for the Texans, Saints, Giants and 49ers remove several options, while Brock Purdy and C.J. Stroud sit out, prompting managers to consider sleepers like Jacoby Brissett (ARI) – who throws 40+ passes a game – and Kyler Murray (MIN), whose rushing upside could swing his value. The article breaks down each QB’s recent performance and matchup before the critical stretch of the fantasy season.

Coach Brian Schottenheimer earns praise for leaning on the ground game, while Dak Prescott records his 80th career game with multiple passing TDs, surpassing Tony Romó. CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens make key catches, and Tyler Goodson shows promise despite a negated kickoff return TD.
