Cowboys allows 30 points in second half and OT to lose to the Cardinals again

The Dallas Cowboys defense gave up 23 points in the fourth quarter and overtime to fall 33-30 to the Arizona Cardinals at home. The Cowboys are 3-5.

The Cowboys offense was effective but not dominant and did move the ball in overtime, with Arizona running out the clock for a game-winning field goal.

Arizona had a chance to win the game in regulation after scoring a last-second touchdown but failed to convert the extra point to take the lead.

The Cowboys averaged only 2.4 yards per rush after dominating the Philadelphia Eagles on the ground last week.

The Cowboys have not won back-to-back games this season and have only one winning streak under second-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer.

Dak Prescott threw for 195 yards and a touchdown but was sacked four times, including on the Cowboys’ only possession in OT.

Javonte Williams gained only 56 yards on 24 carries after rushing for more than 150 yards against Philadelphia. Williams also fumbled, but it was recovered in the end zone for a Cowboys touchdown.

CeeDee Lamb led the way receiving with seven catches and 58 yards on 11 targets; George Pickens had only two catches for 48 yards on four targets; Ryan Flournoy caught the Cowboys’ only receiving touchdown.

Quinnen Williams had two sacks to lead the defense, which forced a quarterback change late in the third quarter; Gardner Minshew replaced starter Jacoby Brissett and led the Cardinals back from a 17-3 deficit.
