On November 2, 2026, Stephen A. Smith used his First Take platform to urge Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to hire former NFL head coach Rex Ryan from ESPN as a defensive coordinator. Smith ridiculed current coach Brian Schottenheimer’s self‑praise after the Cowboys fell to the Arizona Cardinals, claiming Ryan could improve the defense in just four days. Former Cowboys star Michael Irvin dismissed the idea, quipping that even his dead mother could coach better. Ryan hasn’t coached since 2015, and past contract talks with Jones fell through.
After the Dallas Cowboys blew a two‑touchdown lead to lose 33‑30 in overtime to the Arizona Cardinals (Week 8, dropping to 3‑5), Hall of Famer Michael Irvan erupted on ESPN’s First Take. Irvan shouted that “my dead mom can coach them better,” slamming head coach Brian Schottenheimer alongside Stephen A. Smith’s criticism that the Cowboys, historically “America’s team,” have the worst culture in the league. Smith suggested hiring a defensive hard‑nosed coach like Rex Ryan. The loss marks the first time Dallas surrendered a 14‑point 4th‑quarter lead at home, ending a 202‑0‑1 franchise streak. Dak Prescott called the defeat one of the toughest of his career.

The win probability and the history suggested the Cardinals had virtually no shot to come back, but they did.
The Baltimore Ravens face a quarterback crisis after Lamar Jackson’s thumb injury and Tyler Huntley’s turf‑toe ailment leave them with only a third‑string QB. GM Eric DeCosta is weighing trade options, from backup Tyson Bagent to former Cardinals starter Jacoby Brissett, but few appealing choices exist. Mac Jones, whose contract expires this season, emerges as a potential stopgap despite no direct ties to Baltimore. While the 49ers could benefit from his experience—recalling a heavy reliance on a backup in 2025—trading him might aid a rival playoff contender. Consequently, Jones likely remains with New England, leaving Ravens to explore limited alternatives.
After a 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Dallas Cowboys' 3-5 record sparked criticism from Steelers head coach‑turned‑analyst Mike Tomlin. Commenting on Sunday Night Football, Tomlin called the Cowboys “blinkers” who need to “cut their eyelids off,” blaming a lack of aggression on both offense and defense during the final drive. He urged coach Brian Schottenheimer to identify and challenge players who truly want to win as the Cowboys face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. The loss marks the Cardinals’ ninth win against Dallas since 2008.
The Dallas Cowboys must have a difficult conversation about George Pickens' future after their humiliating loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8.
Monday Night Football pits the Chicago Bears against the Seattle Seahawks, and a Bears win could indirectly help the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC playoff race. A Seattle loss would drop the Seahawks to 4-4, tying them with the Rams in the NFC West behind the 6-1 49ers. With the NFC North tightly packed—Vikings at 6-1, Bears and Lions at 5-2, Packers 5-3—the Bears' result also impacts non‑divisional wild‑card berths. The Rams, now 4-4, still have winnable games against Washington and an upcoming rematch with Arizona, which is juggling its quarterback situation.
The author revels in watching the Cowboys squander a 24‑10 lead against the Arizona Cardinals, turning the collapse into a bit of schadenfreude for rival fans. A detailed radio play‑by‑play notes Tyler Allgeier’s 52‑yard run, his TD, and the Cardinals’ late comeback that forced overtime and a 31‑30 Cardinals win. While the Eagles’ season is effectively over, the piece uses the Cowboys‑Cardinals drama to mock struggling NFC East teams and highlight the amusement of hate‑watching rivals.
Mike Tomlin criticizes Dallas Cowboys for losing despite leading late in the game
The Cowboys squandered a sizable lead against the Cardinals at AT&T Stadium, falling 27‑24 in overtime on November 2, 2026. Coach Brian Schottenheimer’s play‑calling is heavily criticized for a timid second half, and Dak Prescott’s offense managed just two touchdowns while failing to gain double‑digit yards on more than half of its drives. Defensive lapses—particularly by Christian Parker, Rashan Gary, and an under‑performing offensive line—allowed Arizona to rally and tie the game. Missed opportunities also include Brandon Aubrey’s 61‑yard miss and a Javonte Williams fumble that led to a Cowboys touchdown. The article notes a bright spot in rookie Caleb Downs, who recorded key tackles before entering concussion protocol.
After a frantic Week 8, The Big Lead flags three NFL clubs that could be in trouble heading into Week 9. The Dallas Cowboys fell to 4‑4 after a late comeback by the Cardinals, leaving them three games behind the Giants. The Baltimore Ravens lost both quarterbacks—Lamar Jackson (hand surgery) and Tyler Huntley (turf toe)—forcing them to rely on backup Joe Fagnano. The Minnesota Vikings’ offense sputters under Kyler Murray, despite a solid defensive showing against the Lions, raising doubts about their playoff chances.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter says the Dallas Cowboys are a "team to watch" in trade talks for Arizona Cardinals pass rusher Josh Sweat as the Nov. 10 deadline looms. The Cowboys will face the Cardinals in Week 8, giving them a chance to scout Sweat firsthand. Sweat, a 2021 Pro Bowler who recorded 12 sacks last season, has seen his production dip to two sacks this year and reportedly sought a trade after Arizona fired head coach Jonathan Gannon. Dallas, whose defense ranks near the bottom in yards, rushing yards and sacks allowed, could use Sweat as a supplemental edge rusher, though no deal is confirmed.
Dak Prescott's comments after the Dallas Cowboys' Week 8 loss to the Arizona Cardinals put the team's lack of late-game aggression in the limelight.
The Dallas Cowboys fall to the Arizona Cardinals 33‑30 in overtime, extending a painful streak of five consecutive losses to Arizona and nine defeats in ten meetings. Despite winning the turnover and penalty battles and a solid first‑half defensive performance, questionable play‑calling—such as a failed 4th‑and‑inches at their own 30 and a risky 60‑plus yard field‑goal attempt—led to a second‑half collapse, surrendering four touchdowns. A missed extra point by Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland briefly revived hope, but Dak Prescott’s sack on a critical third‑down play sealed the loss. The blog outlines ten frustrated observations on the defeat.
The Dallas Cowboys lose 33-30 in overtime to the Arizona Cardinals after squandering a 24-10 lead, sparking calls for linebacker DeMarvion Overshown’s suspension. Overshown delivered a helmet‑to‑helmet hit on Cardinals running back Zonovan Knight in the first half, causing a concussion and a forced fumble. Knight left the game, and fans demand immediate disciplinary action as the league decides Overshown’s fate later this week. Overshown logged eight tackles and a forced fumble, but his hit may cost him a suspension.
In Week 8, the Arizona Cardinals pull off a 33-30 overtime win at Dallas after erasing a six‑point deficit. Wide receiver Michael Wilson catches a game‑tying touchdown with six seconds left, then winces in rib‑area pain, sparking concerns about his health. Despite a missed extra point, the Cardinals win in OT when kicker Ryland nails a 42‑yard field goal. Wilson finishes with 111 receiving yards on eight catches, while backup QB Gardner Minshew throws for 188 yards and three TDs. Wilson, who signed a three‑year, $75 million extension in September, says he’ll play “60%” in Week 9 against Seattle.
Former Cowboys quarterback Ben DiNucci blasted Dallas’ 33‑30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals as “absolutely embarrassing,” saying the team “stinks” and lacks effort despite having talent. He highlighted the Cardinals’ comeback — Gardner Minshew’s three fourth‑quarter TDs and Tyler Allgeier’s 147‑yard rush — and noted Dallas fell to 3‑5, still without back‑to‑back wins. DiNucci, now a CBS analyst, urged leaders like Dak Prescott, Quinnen Williams and CeeDee Lamb to step up, while owner Jerry Jones ruled out a coaching change. The critique underscores persistent locker‑room issues and the Cowboys’ inability to protect leads at AT&T Stadium.
A look at why Dak Prescott and two more of his Dallas Cowboys teammates deserve blame for this loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
The Game Haus breaks down five under‑the‑radar RBs worth snagging in Week 9 of standard‑scoring fantasy leagues, each owned by under 55% of ESPN owners. Jonah Coleman (Broncos) is primed for a bigger role after an IR move to RJ Harvey, posting a TD and four catches vs. the Chiefs. Tyler Allgeier (Cardinals) exploded for 147 yards and two TDs while Jer Love’s ankle lingers. Raiders’ Mike Washington Jr. hauled 25 carries for 83 yards in Week 8, still a low‑draft pick at 17.5%. Packers’ MarShawn Lloyd could become a starter if Josh Jacobs gets suspended. Colts’ Seth McGowen may inherit work if Jonathan Taylor is traded before the Nov 10 deadline. All are viable waiver‑wire options for managers looking to boost their rosters.
