Cardinals Beat Cowboys 27-3

Several top players on both teams were absent from the game: Arizona (3-0) was missing defensive tackles Corey Peters, Robert Nkemdiche and Olsen Pierre, all due to injuries. Meanwhile, Dallas (0-3) sat starters Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott. 

The Cowboys were also without guard Zack Martin and center Travis Frederick. 

One of the top moments came late in the first period, when Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown on a second-and-nine to put Arizona up 14-0.
