"While the defense was once again a total bust, for the second straight game the vaunted Dak Prescott-led offense was missing in action. The Cowboys were shut out in the first half, and it once again started with a stalled opening drive. This time, instead of settling for a field goal like they did against Denver in Week 8, Dallas was stopped on a fourth-down attempt.Need a news break?

"Dallas' late comeback effort was thwarted when, down 17, they chose to go for it from the Arizona 21 instead of kicking a field goal to cut the deficit to two scores. What made things even more disappointing is the defense allowed journeyman quarterback Jacoby Brissett carve them up, as Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride got whatever they wanted, repeatedly moving the chains on third down. CB DaRon Bland was targeted over and over and over again by the Arizona attack."
The Cowboys produced a stagnant offensive performance and were shut out in the first half after a stalled opening drive and a fourth-down stop. Special teams blocked and recovered a punt for a score, but the defense immediately allowed Arizona to respond with a touchdown. Dallas declined a field-goal opportunity late while trailing 17 and instead went for it on the Arizona 21. Jacoby Brissett efficiently attacked the secondary, with Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride converting numerous third downs and repeatedly targeting CB DaRon Bland. The defense ranks poorly in points allowed and pass rush remains an area of need, raising concerns about draft-pick implications and roster direction.
