Collier was guilty of a “bonehead” (his words) penalty that cost the Cardinals 15 yards and a first down after a third-down stop in the fourth quarter that led to a field goal and 27-17 Dallas lead. He redeemed himself with a deflected pass later in the drive on third-and-11 and then had a sack at the two-minute warning on second-and-10 from the Arizona 20-yard line that also resulted in a field goal that kept it a one-score game.

Ryland went from goat to hero quickly. He missed an extra point that would have given the Cardinals a 1-point led with six seconds to play in regulation. However, he redeemed himself with 2:53 to play in overtime with a down-the-middle 42-yard game-winner. He is now 18-for-18 this season on field goals of 20-49 yards. In his time with the Cardinals that began in 2024, the PAT miss was his second. Last season he hit all 36 and was perfect on 16 this season until the miss.

Gillikin’s issues continue with a 43.3-yard average on four punts and a 36.0 net. His mostly line-drive punts resulted in three returns for 29 yards, including one for 18 yards.

Kickoff coverage allowed another long return of 45 yards by running back Tyler Goodson.

With Knight injured during the game, Melton was a kickoff returner with Duvernay and had a nice 36-yard run. Duvernay’s long was 24 on four returns.
