The Cardinals have had opportunities at AT&T Stadium today. They have not taken advantage of them, though, and have work to do if they are to remain undefeated in what has become their second home.
Arizona, which is 4-0 in Arlington, trails the Cowboys 14-3 at halftime.
Cowboys punt return Jonathan Mingo muffed the Cardinals’ first punt, but Arizona didn’t recover. The Cardinals then stopped Javonte Williams for a 2-yard loss on fourth-and-1 at the Dallas 32, with Mack Wilson making the tackle for loss.
The Cardinals, though, got no points when Jeremiyah Love was stopped by Caleb Downs and Kenny Clark on fourth-and-goal at the 1. Love has since left with an ankle injury, and running back Bam Knight was helped off with an injury with 11 seconds left in the half.
The Cardinals had another drive to the Dallas 19 before Chad Ryland got them on the board with a 37-yard field goal.
The biggest blow for the visitors came when Williams fumbled at the goal line and tight end James Mitchell recovered for the Cowboys in the end zone for a touchdown. The Dallas score came after Shemar James intercepted Jacoby Brissett and returned it 33 yards to the Arizona 5.
The Cowboys also scored on a 9-yard pass from Dak Prescott to Ryan Flournoy.
Arizona has outgained Dallas 136 to 109, but the Cardinals have two turnovers.
Brissett is 8-of-20 for 104 yards and an interception, and Love has nine carries for 23 yards. Michael Wilson, who was injured late in the first half, has two catches for 25 yards.
Prescott is 9-of-11 for 85 yards and a touchdown, with CeeDee Lamb catching four for 44. Williams has 10 carries for 30 yards.
Brandon Aubrey missed a 61-yard field goal on the final play of the first half, which came after Knight’s fumble was recovered by LT Overton on a big hit by DeMarvion Overshown.
Cardinals running back Jermiyah Love was injured on the final play of the first half.
Love was hit high and low by Cowboys linebacker Shemar James and safety P.J. Locke, appearing to get his right ankle rolled on by James. Love jogged to the sideline before the team’s medical personnel reached him, but slammed his helmet to the ground on the sideline.
After 11 minutes in the sideline medical tent, Love departed for the X-ray room.
Love returned to practice this week after missing two games with a sprained left ankle. The third overall pick injured his right ankle in the preseason.
The Cardinals list him as questionable to return with an ankle injury.
The Cowboys lead 14-0 in a sloppy game. Cowboys backup tight end James Mitchell recovered a Javonte Williams fumble in the end zone for a touchdown and Ryan Flournoy caught a 9-yard touchdown pass.
Wide receiver George Pickens has touchdown catches in two of his last three games and he’ll have a chance to make it three of four against the Cardinals on Sunday.
Pickens was listed as questionable on the Cowboys’ final injury report due to shoulder and hamstring issues, but he avoided the inactive list ahead of kickoff in Dallas. Pickens has 37 catches for 485 yards overall this season.
Defensive tackle Kenny Clark was also listed as questionable for the Cowboys due to a back injury. He joins Pickens in the lineup for Week 8.

The Dallas Cowboys have applied to themselves the nickname of “greatest offense there is.” While that may be debatable, the team has produced another trend that can’t be denied.
Via NBC Sports research, the Cowboys have allowed 20 or more points in 14 straight games. It’s the longest active streak in the league, and it’s the longest streak in franchise history.
Although on the surface the Cowboys have drawn a favorable opponent on Sunday in the 2-5 Cardinals. But, in recent years, the Cardinals have been a spur in the Dallas saddle. Arizona is 8-1 against the Cowboys, dating back to 2008. The Cardinals also have won four in a row against Dallas — and four in a row at AT&T Stadium.
In 2025, Arizona’s third and final win of the year came in Week 9 at Dallas, when the Cardinals beat the Cowboys, 27-17, on a Monday night.
The Cowboys activated safety P.J. Locke off injured reserve, the team announced Saturday.
His return gives the Cowboys added health in the safety room.
The Cowboys have had Caleb Downs, Markquese Bell and Alijah Clark rotate at the safety position opposite Malik Hooker in recent weeks. Safety Jalen Thompson remains on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
The Cowboys placed Locke on injured reserve on Sept. 26, six days after he injured his foot, and he returned to practice Oct. 23.
Locke played only three snaps in the Week 2 win over Washington, pulling up while running to tackle running back Rachaad White.
He had three tackles in the first two games.
The Cowboys also elevated tight end James Mitchell from the practice squad to the active roster. Tight end Luke Schoonmaker is questionable with a groin injury after not practicing on Thursday or Friday.
Mitchell, a fifth-round pick of the Lions in 2022, has played 35 games in his career.
