Cowboys vs Cardinals

Today the Dallas Cowboys faced off against the Arizona Cardinals in a crucial NFC match-up. The game became exciting on the opening kick off when Cardinals return man J.J. Arrington returned the kick 93 yards for a touchdown to give the home team Cardinals an early 7-0 lead. The first quarter was filled with errors and turnovers from both Kurt Warner and Tony Romo, each teams respective quarterbacks. The game slowed down a little until the end of the first half when Romo hit wide reciever Patrick Crayton over the middle for a 55 yard touchdown pass which tied the game going into half time. Each team scored a touchdown in the third quarter which made it all even going into the final quarter. The Cardinals struck first in the fourth when Warner threw an 11 yard pass to wide reciever Steve Breaston, which gave the Cardinals a 21-14 lead. Cardinals kicker Neil Rackers kicked a 41 yard field goal on the next series to give them a 24-14 lead, which did not last for long. Tony Romo then hit running back Marion Barber on a short pass which turned into a 70 yard tocuhdown pass to bring the Cowboys to within three with time winding down. At the end of regulation, Cowboys kicker Nick Folk hit a 52 yard field goal to send the exciting game into over time. The visiting Cowboys won the coin toss to begin over time but had a very uneventful three downs, then it went down hill from there. They were lined up to punt from their own five, when the Cardinals broke through the line and blocked the Matt McBrair punt and returned it for a touchdown to win the game. I was very happy that the Cowboys lost the game, because they are my least favorite team in the NFL. It was a very exciting game which had an amazing finish.
