Chad Ryland goes from goat to hero as Cardinals topple Cowboys in OT
After missing a PAT that could have won the game in the fourth quarter, Chad Ryland delivered for the Arizona Cardinals in overtime.
Chad Ryland experienced both the roles of hero and goat in a single game for the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Following the departure of ineffective quarterback Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew took over and orchestrated a furious rally that led to a 30-30 tie against the Dallas Cowboys. With only six seconds left in the fourth quarter, Ryland faced the pressure of a crucial PAT kick, which he missed, leaving the score tied and sending the game into overtime.
In the extra session, Minshew led another drive, setting up a chance for Ryland to redeem himself and become a hero. He delivered a game-winning field goal from 42 yards out, giving the Cardinals a 33-30 victory over the Cowboys. The game marked a significant turnaround for the Cardinals, who had struggled when trailing by 14 points or more in the fourth quarter since 2000.
Meanwhile, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed his dissatisfaction following the loss, stating that people had let down coach Brian Schottenheimer and that he did not plan to make any coaching changes during the season.
