The Arizona Cardinals have absolutely owned the Dallas Cowboys for years, a shocking streak that has wide receiver CeeDee Lamb calling it “crazy.” This isn’t just about a couple of upsets, folks. Arizona has snagged four straight wins against the Cowboys, and get this: they’ve won eight of the last nine matchups between these two teams. It’s a head-scratcher, especially considering some of the records involved.
The Numbers Are Screaming For Dallas
Let’s dive into how bizarre this dominance truly is. Last year, in 2025, the Cardinals rolled into AT&T Stadium and handed the Cowboys a 27-17 loss. Want to know how much sense that makes? Arizona then proceeded to lose their final nine games of the season. Yes, you read that right. They beat Dallas and then went on a spiral. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who has a 3-16 record in his two seasons in Arizona, has *that* win over the Cowboys on his resume. His own win column is practically empty, but somehow, he’s got Dallas’s number. Dallas hasn’t beaten the Cardinals since way back on September 25, 2017, a 28-17 win in Glendale. Think about how long ago that was! It’s like a curse, right? Even more wild, the Cardinals are 4-0 when playing at AT&T Stadium, which is just insane.
CeeDee Lamb Just Laid It All Out
CeeDee Lamb didn’t hold back when talking about this problem, and you can practically hear the frustration in his voice. “Yeah, it’s just crazy,” he said, talking about the Cardinals’ hold over the Cowboys. He didn’t stop there. Lamb told Patrik Walker of the team website, “We were being very, very relaxed, and they punched us in the mouth every single time. They’ve always had more energy. They were more excited, regardless of if it was a 12 o’clock, Sunday night or Monday night. We’ve played them in primetime. They beat us there.” That’s real talk right there. You can’t beat a team that consistently brings more juice. Lamb even went so far as to say, “So, we need to treat them as if they are a Super Bowl-contending team, which they may be. You know what I’m saying? Hats off to them in their prep, and we just got to go match them, if not overpower that.” Calling a team that recently lost nine straight a “Super Bowl-contending team” might sound wild, but it speaks volumes about how seriously Dallas needs to take these guys.
This Sunday, the Cowboys are facing the Cardinals yet again, and guess where the game is? AT&T Stadium. You know, that place where Arizona is undefeated against Dallas. This isn’t just another game for Dallas. This is about breaking a curse. It’s about proving CeeDee Lamb’s words aren’t just empty frustration, and that they can actually match, or overpower, the energy of a team that somehow always seems to have their number. We’ll be watching to see if they can finally break free from this “crazy” streak.
