Cowboys vs Cardinals Final Score: Cardinals Rally to Beat Dallas 33-30 in Overtime
Dallas led by two touchdowns early in the fourth quarter and did not trail until the last kick of the game. Chad Ryland missed the extra point that would have won it with 6 seconds left, then made a 42-yard field goal in overtime as Arizona beat the Cowboys 33-30 in Arlington.
ARLINGTON - The Dallas Cowboys lost a game they led for nearly four quarters on Sunday, falling 33-30 in overtime to the Arizona Cardinals at AT&T Stadium after Chad Ryland kicked a winning 42-yard field goal - minutes after the same kicker missed an extra point that would have won the game in regulation. Arizona beat Dallas for the fifth consecutive time and improved to 5-0 at AT&T Stadium, the Associated Press reported.
Dallas (3-5) did not trail until the final kick and led by two touchdowns early in the fourth quarter, behind a touchdown pass and a rushing touchdown from Dak Prescott. Arizona (3-5) stayed in it on the legs of Tyler Allgeier, the Cardinals' only available running back by the second half: a career-long 63-yard touchdown run, then a 50-yard run that set up his own 5-yard touchdown catch. Allgeier finished with 191 scrimmage yards - 147 rushing and 44 receiving - all but 7 of them after halftime, according to AP.
The comeback finished with Gardner Minshew, who had replaced an ineffective Jacoby Brissett in the third quarter. Taking over with 1:05 left in regulation, Minshew drove Arizona 80 yards in eight plays and tied the game at 30 on a 14-yard touchdown pass to Michael Wilson with 6 seconds to go. Ryland, who had made his previous 58 extra points, pushed the go-ahead kick wide left, and the game went to overtime, where Dallas's offense went three-and-out with its chance and Arizona drove for Ryland's redemption kick.
Arizona outgained Dallas 467-261, and Minshew finished 17-of-23 for 188 yards and three touchdowns, NBC Sports reported. The loss is the most crushing of Arizona's five straight wins in this series for Dallas, which still has not won back-to-back games, AP reported. Up next: the Cardinals play at Seattle next Sunday, and the Cowboys play at Indianapolis.
