The Dallas Cowboys will aim to notch back-to-back wins for the first time this season as they host the Arizona Cardinals at AT&T Stadium on Sunday.
It has been an up-and-down campaign for the Cowboys, who are sitting on a 3-4 record. The Cardinals are having a worse season with a 2-5 record.
Dallas beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-21, in Week 7, with Dak Prescott throwing for 212 yards and three touchdowns and CeeDee Lamb tallying five catches for 74 yards and two touchdowns. It was a much-needed victory after the Cowboys suffered back-to-back losses to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Green Bay Packers.
Prescott struggled against the blitz coverage of the Buccaneers and the Packers. The Cardinals might do the same, but the 33-year-0ld quarterback is not worried, as reported by The Athletic's Jon Machota.
“Feel great about it. Definitely feel great about it. Got the plan and made the adjustments. Studied up, prepared for it,” said Prescott.
The Cardinals have had the number of the Cowboys, winning nine of their last 10 meetings.
Dallas has only had one winning streak since coach Brian Schottenheimer took over, a three-game run last season.

“It's a business where you have to be consistent with your execution, with your performance. I think we've been lacking that at times. Another good week, another opponent coming in there with a lot of challenges that they're going to present, but it's more about us and the lack of consistency,” said Schottenheimer in a report from the Associated Press' Schuyler Dixon.
Prescott voiced his support for Schottenheimer despite their middling campaign.
