The Dallas Cowboys host the Arizona Cardinals at AT&T Stadium on Sunday with a 3-4 record, aiming to secure back-to-back victories. Under Brian Schottenheimer, the Cowboys have only managed consecutive wins once: a three-game streak last November. PenseBet reported that the Cowboys enter this matchup following a 38-21 victory over Philadelphia on Monday night, a game where Dak Prescott and the offense produced over 200 yards both rushing and passing.
Prescott Emphasizes Momentum as Dallas Eyes a Easier Stretch
Dak Prescott stressed the importance of building on Monday’s performance as the team prepares for Arizona. “Momentum’s real, especially in this league,” Prescott said, urging his team to replicate their recent offensive output. Against Philadelphia, Javonte Williams rushed for a personal-best 155 yards, spearheading a ground attack that eclipsed the 200-yard threshold.

The upcoming schedule offers relief for Dallas. Aside from a matchup against the 6-1 San Francisco 49ers, the Cowboys do not face another team with a winning record over their next six games before December, with games against Indianapolis, Tennessee, and Philadelphia on the slate. However, history at AT&T Stadium presents a challenge: the Cardinals have won four out of four games played at the venue.
Cardinals Defense Struggles as Arizona Evaluates Quarterback Options
Arizona arrives in Texas with a 2-5 record, burdened by the league’s lowest-ranked scoring defense, which surrenders 29.7 points per contest. The Cardinals are coming off a 30-16 home loss to Denver, where they converted just one of five trips to the red zone. This followed an 18-16 win over the Rams featuring six field goals and zero touchdowns on five red zone possessions.
Mike LaFleur emphasized a need for a collective effort to finish drives, noting that Arizona reached inside the 10-yard line ten times over the past two games with minimal payoff to show for it. Despite offensive struggles, LaFleur dismissed speculation that Jacoby Brissett would be benched in favor of Gardner Minshew or rookie Carson Beck.
Injury Reports Heading Into Sunday
Both rosters dealt with notable injury designations during mid-week practices. For Arizona, nine players missed Wednesday’s session entirely, including right tackle Elijah Wilkinson due to a knee injury and guard Jon Gaines II with an ankle issue. Rookie Jeremiyah Love participated in a limited capacity as he works back from an ankle injury. For Dallas, George Pickens was listed as limited in practice due to shoulder and hamstring ailments.
