Cardinals Upset Cowboys 27-17

The Arizona Cardinals upset the Dallas Cowboys 27-17 on Monday Night Football at AT&T Stadium, snapping a five-game skid and handing Dallas its first home loss of 2025. Backup Jacoby Brissett, starting because Kyler Murray wasn’t ready, threw two touchdown passes and added a rushing score, finishing 21-of-31 for 261 yards as Arizona improved to 3-5. Dallas was stifled — Dak Prescott was inefficient, the Cowboys gained just 210 passing yards, were sacked five times and committed multiple turnovers despite Sam Williams blocking a punt that was returned for a score. Arizona sustained long touchdown drives, highlighted by Michael Wilson’s 50-yard play and a strong ground game led by Emari Demercado (14 carries for 79 yards). The loss drops Dallas to 3-5-1 and further dims their playoff hopes as they enter the bye week needing fixes on offense, defense and special teams, while the Cardinals look to build consistency under Brissett in the NFC West.
