Cardinals kick game-winning field goal in wild 33-30 overtime win over Cowboys

Chad Ryland kicked a winning 42-yard field goal in overtime after missing a PAT that would have won the game with 6 seconds left in regulation, and the Arizona Cardinals rallied for a wild 33-30 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

The Cardinals beat Dallas for the fifth consecutive time and improved to 5-0 at AT&T Stadium, the home of the Cowboys that opened in 2009.

This was by far the most crushing of those for the Cowboys (3-5), who didn't trail until the final kick and led by two touchdowns early in the fourth quarter.

Arizona (3-5) was still in the game because Tyler Allgeier had a 63-yard touchdown run, a career long, followed by a 50-yarder to set up his second touchdown on a 5-yard catch, all in the second half. He had 191 scrimmage yards (147 yards rushing, 44 receiving), all but 7 coming after halftime.

The Dallas defense was having its best showing of the season before buckling in the last 16 minutes, particularly the final minute.

The Cardinals went 80 yards in eight plays and barely a minute, tying the score at 30-all on Gardner Minshew’s 13-yard touchdown to Michael Wilson with 6 seconds to go. Ryland was wide left on the PAT kick after making his previous 58.

Arizona was the third team since 2000 to miss a go-ahead PAT in final 10 seconds of regulation, joining Cincinnati in a 23-20 overtime loss to Pittsburgh in 2022 and Tampa Bay in a 12-9 OT loss to Carolina in 2003.

Unlike the Bengals and Buccaneers, the Cardinals won anyway, led by Minshew after he replaced an ineffective Jacoby Brissett in the third quarter.

Taking with 1:05 to go and down 30-24, Minshew threw 14 yards to Allgeier and 21 yards to Wilson, who had eight catches for 111 yards. A 27-yarder to Wilson put the ball at the 13, and he got behind the defense in the back of the end zone for what figured to be the winning catch.

After Ryland's miss, the Cardinals went three-and-out to start overtime, but a Dallas offense that faltered late did the same. Wilson had a 17-yard catch to get the ball past midfield, and Allgeier ran 11 yards to put Arizona in comfortable range for a field goal.

Allgeier was the only Arizona running back available after rookie No. 3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love had left with another ankle injury. Love missed the previous two games with an ankle issue. Bam Knight was ruled out with a concussion after taking a hit from DeMarvion Overshown and losing a fumble.

Prescott had a touchdown pass and ran for a score, but the Cowboys were outgained 467-261 and averaged 2.4 yards per carry a week after rushing for 204 yards.
