The Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys are playing live on the NFL Week 9 schedule on Sunday and the game is live from AT&T Stadium at 1 pm ET and the TV coverage is from Fox and the Fox Sports Go website and both teams have six wins this season and are leading their divisions and this could be a huge AFC conference matchup.
The Cardinals come in after a win against the Philadelphia Eagles, while the Cowboys come into the game after a loss against the Redskins. Colt McCoy led the Redskins to the win over Dallas and now the Cowboys have to deal with life without Tony Romo at least for one week and that could have a huge outcome on this game. The Cowboys have relied more on DeMarco Murray this year and that could be the perfect way for Dallas to overcome the loss of their starting QB.
Brandon Weeden comes in to start for the Cowboys and while he is the backup, he is a player that has received more than the usual amount of reps with the first team offense. Romo missed some time over the summer and that allowed Weeden to get some experience and he also has been used less in practice because of his back, which has given Weeden more work with the first team offense. The Cowboys have been the best rushing team in the league this season and Murray has been the reason why and he has the been the MVP of the league.
Murray may need to have some of his time moving ahead limited with him already getting close to his career high in a season and that could mean more carries for Joseph Randle. The problem with that is some team chemistry issues stemming from Randle's arrest and he was involved in an altercation with Dez Bryant and Josh Brent and that could have an affect on things down the line.
The team has been one of the best in the league this season and they have a chance to bounce back after losing their first game since week 1. The Cowboys won six straight before losing in overtime against the Washington Redskins and now the team has the Cardinals and the Jaguars before a bye week. Coming out of the bye the team has the Giants and that starts a stretch of three games on the road in four weeks. The team plays at the Giants and home against the Eagles before road games against Chicago and Philly.
