Gardner Minshew came off the bench for the Arizona Cardinals and pulled off a wild 33-30 overtime win against the Cowboys, turning a 17-3 deficit into an absolute stunner. Talk about a comeback for the ages, especially with the weird history these two teams share.
Minshew Magic Takes Over
When Jacoby Brissett got pulled with just 1:35 left in the third quarter, nobody really knew what to expect from Minshew. But man, did he deliver. Minshew led the Cardinals to four straight touchdown drives right out of the gate. His 13-yard touchdown pass to Michael Wilson tied the game up at 30-30 with only six seconds left in the fourth quarter. It was an insane finish, but Chad Ryland shockingly missed his first extra point since 2024, sending this wild contest into overtime. In OT, neither team scored on their initial possession. But the Cardinals wouldn’t be denied, marching 44 yards on eight plays on their second possession to seal the 33-30 victory. Unbelievable.
Dallas’s Recurring Nightmare
Seriously, what is it with the Cardinals and the Cowboys? Arizona’s dominance over Dallas is one of the biggest mysteries in the entire NFL. The Cardinals are now 5-0 at AT&T Stadium all-time, and they’ve won nine of the last ten matchups in this series. Both teams are sitting at 3-5 after this one, but it feels way different. The Cowboys still haven’t managed to win back-to-back games since last November, and you know they’re leaving the stadium knowing they totally gave this one away. That’s gotta sting.
Injury Updates for Arizona
It wasn’t all good news for the Cardinals, though. They took some hits during the game. Left tackle Jayden Williams went down with a knee injury, running back Jeremiyah Love suffered an ankle injury, and fellow running back Bam Knight exited with a concussion. Wide receiver Kendrick Bourne also picked up an ankle injury. And in a bizarre moment, wide receiver Reggie Virgil got injured after running into the goal post with 2:16 left in the fourth quarter.
This win is huge for the Cardinals, pushing them to 3-5 alongside the Cowboys. For Dallas, it’s just another frustrating chapter in their inability to string together wins, especially against a team that just seems to have their number, no matter the circumstances.
