Revenge of the Birds
It was never close, but everyone was waiting on something to change, because it has fallen apart every week.
Yet, in this one they found a team who didn’t exactly play their smartest game, and the Arizona Cardinals found enough plays to hold on and win this one, despite another interesting fourth quarter.
The Cowboys bypassed a field goal that would have made it a 14-point game early in the fourth quarter and the Cardinals once again failed to do much on offense in the quarter. Yet, they made a couple of plays on defense this time.
The biggest being a sequence that saw Walter Nolen get his first career sack, then Will Johnson make a tackle on third down, and while Javonte Williams inexplicably tried to get more yardage, Cody Simon came in and ripped the ball out.
That basically ended any threat of a Cowboys comeback, but the Cardinals offense, after being almost flawless for the game, sputtered again in closing time.
Thankfully the 10-point lead was more than enough, and the team did enough to close out and get a win.
That moves them to 3-5 on the season, and a chance to keep going in the playoff race.
