Cowboys lead Cardinals 14-3 at halftime

At halftime, the Cowboys held a 14-3 lead over the Cardinals at AT&T Stadium. Despite having chances, the Cardinals failed to capitalize, leaving them to address their performance if they aim to maintain their undefeated record. The Cardinals, currently 4-0 at home in Arlington, are trailing the Cowboys by 11 points at this point in the game.

Early in the half, Cowboys punt returner Jonathan Mingo mishandled the Cardinals' opening punt, and Arizona didn't recover it. The Cardinals then faced a challenging fourth-and-1 situation near the Dallas 32-yard line but couldn't convert, resulting in no points despite Mack Wilson's tackle. However, the Cardinals missed an opportunity to score when Jeremiyah Love was halted by Caleb Downs and Kenny Clark on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line.

Love subsequently left the game due to an ankle injury, while running back Bam Knight was injured with 11 seconds remaining in the half. The Cardinals did get another chance at the Dallas 19-yard line before Chad Ryland connected for a 37-yard field goal. The most significant disadvantage for the visitors occurred when Williams fumbled at the goal line, with tight end James Mitchell recovering the ball in the end zone for a touchdown.

This touchdown came after Shemar James intercepted Jacoby Brissett and returned it 33 yards to the Arizona 5. Dallas also scored a touchdown on a 9-yard pass from Dak Prescott to Ryan Flournoy. While Arizona has outgained Dallas 136 to 109, they have committed two turnovers. Brissett managed 8-of-20 passes for 104 yards and an interception, while Love contributed with 9 carries for 23 yards.

Michael Wilson, injured late in the first half, added 2 catches for 25 yards. Prescott completed 9-of-11 passes for 85 yards and a touchdown, with CeeDee Lamb catching four passes for 44 yards. Williams had 10 carries for 30 yards. Brandon Aubrey missed a crucial 61-yard field goal on the final play of the first half, following Knight's fumble recovery by LT Overton, who was aided by DeMarvion Overshown.
