After a Monday night win over the Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, needing a victory to climb back to .500 and stay ahead of the Giants in the NFC East. The blog flags three worries: Coach Brian Schottenheimer’s chronic inconsistency—only one back‑to‑back win in 24 games and a recent loss to Carolina despite a three‑point edge; the Cardinals’ surprisingly potent air attack led by Jacoby Brissett, who tops the league with 282 attempts and has three‑touchdown games; and a historic 1‑8 record against Arizona since 2008, including a 27‑17 loss last season. These factors suggest the Cowboys face a tough test despite the Cardinals being a weaker opponent on paper.
Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer says the Cowboys aren’t worried about the injuries to wide receiver George Pickens (shoulder), safety Caleb Downs (ankle) and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams (hamstring) as they prepare for Sunday’s clash with the Arizona Cardinals. Despite limited practice Thursday, he expects the trio to be available, emphasizing the need for consistency to stay in the NFC East race. A win would bring the team back to .500.

The Arizona Cardinals confirm running back Jeremiyah Love is cleared to play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, ending a two‑game absence due to a nagging ankle injury. Coach Jonathan LaFleur’s green light offers a potential boost to the Cardinals’ offense, though his workload may be limited alongside Bam Knight and Tyler Allgeier—who is also dealing with a toe issue. Fantasy owners will watch closely, hoping Love can regain rhythm and justify early draft capital without further setbacks.

Dallas (3‑4) rides a dominant rushing performance by Javonte Williams—155 yards on 25 carries and a season‑high 204 total rushing yards—while Dak Prescott logged 212 passing yards and CeeDee Lamb added two TDs. Arizona (2‑5) managed only 94 rush yards, 272 passing yards, and struggled in the red zone (1‑5) and on third down (5‑17), with QB Jacoby Brissett sacked three times.

With a –66 point differential and most losses being blowouts, the Cowboys enter as seven‑point favorites and aim to control the game early with their ground game.

Dallas Cowboys sit 3-4 and hold the NFL's longest streak of allowing 20+ points (14 games) as the trade deadline looms on Nov. 10.

While the offense, led by Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, ranks in the top ten, the defense sits 23rd in points allowed and 29th in yards. Upcoming games vs. the Cardinals and Colts could sway Jones's decision.

Dak Prescott says the Cowboys’ 38-21 victory over Philadelphia on Oct. 28 was a deliberate shift back to a run‑first identity after two weeks of being “not committed enough” to the ground game.

Prescott also improved his passing, tossing 212 yards and three touchdowns with no picks, after two consecutive loss‑laden outings. Offensive coordinator Klayton Adams and the unit aim to cement this run‑focused approach heading into a Sunday matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.

Dallas, on the franchise tag and fighting for wins in Weeks 8‑9, might entertain a deal if it yields valuable draft capital.
