The Arizona Cardinals visit the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in a Week 8 matchup at AT&T Stadium. Dallas enters with momentum after beating Philadelphia, while Arizona will need its high-volume passing game to keep pace and its defense to slow a productive Cowboys offense.

By the Numbers
  • Arizona: 2-5; Dallas: 3-4.
  • Kickoff: Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, at 1 p.m. ET; FOX and FOX One.
  • Dallas averages 27 points per game, fifth in the NFL; Arizona allows 29.7, among the league’s 10 highest marks.
  • Jacoby Brissett averages 40.3 pass attempts per game; Trey McBride has 59 catches on 78 targets.
  • Javonte Williams has eight rushing touchdowns, tied for the NFL lead.
Yes, But

Arizona’s passing volume creates opportunities for Brissett and McBride, but it also brings risk: Brissett has thrown six interceptions, including five in Weeks 4-6. Dallas has recorded only two interceptions, though, and its 10 sacks could give Brissett time to find receivers. The Cardinals’ bigger challenge may be converting catches into points against a Dallas team that can score quickly.

State of Play
  • Arizona is 2-5, with both wins coming on the road, and is coming off a 30-16 loss to Denver.
  • Dallas is 3-4 and coming off a 38-21 road win over Philadelphia; the Cowboys are 1-2 at home.
  • Arizona’s defense allows 354 total yards per game, while Dallas allows 228 passing yards per game.
What's Next

Watch whether Arizona can produce points without leaning on another 40-plus-attempt game from Brissett. For Dallas, the balance between Javonte Williams’ rushing workload and Dak Prescott’s passing will show how the Cowboys plan to attack Arizona’s defense.

Bottom Line

Dallas has the more reliable scoring profile, but Arizona’s passing volume and McBride’s steady targets give the Cardinals a path to make this competitive. The key is whether Arizona can turn that volume into touchdowns before the Cowboys control the game on the ground.
