While the 21-10 first half lead was impressive, the Cardinals knew all too well that this lead can disappear in the blink of an eye.
With their 28-7 blown lead against the Giants fresh in their minds, Arizona’s defense rose to the occasion, making critical stops when it was needed.
The Cardinals held Dallas to going 1- 5 in the red zone, this includes an interception by Kyzir White late in the 4th quarter.

Going into this week, the Cowboys had been dominant, outscoring their opponents 70-10, yet somehow, Jonathan Gannon and the Cardinals found a way.
Not only was it Gannon’s first win as an NFL head coach, but it was also Joshua Dobb’s first win as a starting quarterback. Dobbs previously held an 0-4 record.
Looking ahead, the Cardinals have an afternoon showdown with the 49ers scheduled for next Sunday.
