Cardinals Rally Stuns Cowboys at AT&T Stadium
Dallas held a 24-10 lead early in the fourth quarter before the Cardinals substituted Jacoby Brissett for Gardner Minshew II late in the third. Minshew directed four consecutive touchdown drives to close regulation, while running back Tyler Allgeir recorded 191 total yards to help secure the win. FOX Sports Research noted that prior to this collapse, the Cowboys held a 202-0-1 all-time record when leading by 14 or more points at home in the fourth quarter. The result improved Arizona’s record to 5-0 against Dallas at AT&T Stadium, extending an NFL record for the most wins without a loss at the venue.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stated to reporters that he does not plan to make a coaching change before the conclusion of the season, despite the team dropping three of its past four games. Dallas integrated Mike Pettine as a senior defensive assistant during the offseason alongside a new defensive coordinator in Christian Parker, yet the defense has surrendered at least 20 points in 15 games, representing the longest active streak in the league according to FOX Sports Research.
Bo Nix Directs Broncos Past Chiefs in Fourth-Quarter Comeback
Denver quarterback Bo Nix engineered his 13th career fourth-quarter comeback, including playoffs, during a 29-24 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Trailing 24-13 entering the final period, Nix led 15 unanswered points capped by rookie running back Jonah Coleman scoring on a five-yard run with 35 seconds remaining. The Broncos defense sealed the win with a goal-line stand, sacking Patrick Mahomes on the final play from the Denver six-yard line. The victory moved the Broncos to 6-2, seizing the top spot in the AFC West from the 5-2 Chiefs.
According to league records, Nix’s 13 fourth-quarter comebacks in his first three seasons broke a tie with John Elway and Derek Carr for the most by any quarterback through three years. He also reached 16 game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime since starts were first tracked in 1950, and became the ninth quarterback in that span to reach 30 wins in his first three campaigns.
Lions Hand Vikings First Loss of the Season
The Minnesota Vikings fell to 6-1 following a 19-15 defeat against the Detroit Lions, marking the fewest points Minnesota has scored against Detroit this season. Kyler Murray threw for 210 yards and led the Vikings in rushing with 35 yards, but struggled to generate consistent offense against Detroit. The loss leaves Minnesota one game ahead of both the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions at 5-2 in the NFC North.
