Cardinals Stun Cowboys in Overtime as Lamar Jackson Faces Season-Ending Surgery

The Arizona Cardinals pulled off a dramatic overtime victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, with Chad Ryland's 42-yard field goal sealing a wild comeback. Ryland had missed an extra point that would have won the game with six seconds left in regulation, but he redeemed himself in overtime. The win marked Arizona's fifth consecutive victory over Dallas and improved their record to a perfect 5-0 at AT&T Stadium since it opened in 2009. Gardner Minshew played a key role in the rally, helping the Cardinals overcome a deficit to keep their momentum alive. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens received concerning news as quarterback Lamar Jackson reportedly needs surgery on an injured thumb, potentially ending his season. Jackson, the 2019 NFL MVP, has been a cornerstone of the Ravens' offense, and his absence would be a significant blow to their playoff aspirations. The injury comes at a critical time as the team fights for positioning in a competitive AFC North. The Cardinals' win keeps them in contention in the NFC West, while the Cowboys suffer a setback in their quest for a division title. Dallas, playing at home, struggled to contain Arizona's late surge, continuing a troubling trend against the Cardinals. For the Ravens, the focus shifts to backup quarterback options and how the team can adjust without their star signal-caller. The coming weeks will reveal whether Arizona can build on this momentum and whether Baltimore can weather the storm without Jackson.
