Dallas spent the first three years of his career in Seattle with the Seahawks. Earlier this year in March, he signed a three-year deal with the Cardinals.
During his 1st return of the season, which came in the final moments of the 1st half, Dallas muffed the return and was tackled at the 2-yard line. He then bounced back with a historic return in Q4.
At one point the Cardinals led by as much as 10 points.
