Cowboys Fall 33-30 to Cardinals in Overtime as Prescott Calls It One of His Toughest Losses

Q: What sparked the Arizona Cardinals' miraculous 26-point comeback led by a backup quarterback against Dallas?

Arizona’s comeback was sparked by a quarterback change and explosive second-half production from Tyler Allgeier. With the Cardinals trailing 17-3 late in the third quarter, coach Mike LaFleur benched Jacoby Brissett and turned to backup Gardner Minshew. The move immediately changed the game. On Minshew’s second snap, Allgeier ripped off a 63-yard touchdown run, cutting the deficit and giving Arizona life. From there, Minshew efficiently drove the offense, finishing 17 of 23 for 188 yards and three touchdowns. He led the late 80-yard march that tied the game with six seconds left, hitting Michael Wilson for the touchdown after key completions to Allgeier and Wilson. Arizona eventually won on Chad Ryland’s 42-yard field goal in overtime after his missed extra point at the end of regulation. Allgeier was just as central to the rally. He totaled 191 scrimmage yards, including 147 rushing yards on only 11 carries, with nearly all of that coming after halftime. His 50-plus-yard burst also helped set up his touchdown catch from Minshew. Wilson added eight catches for 111 yards, while Trey McBride contributed seven receptions and a touchdown. Just as important, Dallas unraveled late. The Cowboys were outgained 467-261, managed only 52 yards over the closing stretch, and failed to protect a 14-point fourth-quarter lead. Arizona’s comeback was less one miracle play than a complete momentum swing triggered by Minshew’s entrance and sustained by Allgeier’s big plays.

Arizona erased a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit and beat Dallas 33-30 in overtime, tying the game with six seconds left after scoring 26 second-half points.
Dallas managed only 52 yards and six points after taking that late lead, reinforcing Prescott and coach Brian Schottenheimer's postgame focus on the team's inability to finish games.
Prescott went 19-of-29 for 195 yards and a touchdown, added a rushing score, and said the blame was collective rather than on Schottenheimer alone.
At 3-5 entering Week 9, Dallas is still seeking its first winning streak of 2026 despite a heavily invested roster, though Prescott said the division remains open and the team can still change its season.
