Monday Night Football: Cardinals lead Cowboys 17-7 at halftime

Owner Jerry Jones announced that the Dallas Cowboys have arranged a trade following a challenging first half against the Arizona Cardinals, where the Cowboys' defense allowed 190 yards and trailed 17-7. Arizona, despite missing quarterback Kyler Murray, saw Jacoby Brissett excel with a touchdown pass to Marvin Harrison Jr. and a rushing touchdown. The Cardinals, ranked 22nd in offense, surprised the Cowboys' strong defense, which only trails the Bengals in total defense rankings.

Arizona scored on three of their four possessions, with their only failed drive ending in a blocked punt that resulted in the Cowboys' sole first-half score. The Cowboys struggled offensively, turning the ball over on downs, losing a fumble, and missing a potential record-tying 68-yard field goal by Brandon Aubrey.

Dak Prescott completed 8 of 16 passes for 75 yards before suffering a minor ankle injury. Jacoby Brissett completed 15 of 22 passes for 158 yards
