Today at 1:00 p.m. ET the Arizona Cardinals (6-1) will head to Texas to take on the Dallas Cowboys (5-2) on Fox in an NFC clash that can be live streamed by clicking this link. Cowboys fans can listen to the game on 105.3 The Fan, while Cardinals fans may do likewise on 92.3 KTAR.
The Cowboys were riding high into last Monday's matchup against the Redskins, and although they received another stellar performance from running back DeMarco Murray, quarterback Tony Romo injured his back again and they fell to the 'Skins for their second loss.
Romo re-entered the game late, but was ineffective and unsure of his status heading into this game.
"Anytime someone's had back surgery you're always a little bit nervous when you get hit in a specific instance like that," Romo said. "The positive is it's completely unrelated to the disk or anything that could be long term, per se. So that part of if, yeah, that's a positive."
Losing Romo would be a big blow to the Dallas offense. He has thrown for 1,9998 yards through eight games and tossed 15 touchdown passes against six interceptions.
The Cardinals have been one of the league's biggest surprises as well. Despite winning 10 games a season ago, Arizona remained overlooked because of the teams perceived to be ahead of them in the NFC West division. Their record is 6-1, but quarterback Carson Palmer said their best football is ahead of them.
"We realize we can play better," Palmer said. "I think we're realistic in that we can play better and we need to play better." Palmer has been lights out in the four games he's played, throwing eight touchdown passes and just one pick while racking up 1,136 yards, or 284 yards per game.
