NAME: Hjalte Froholdt
It's no secret that the game is won in the trenches. At the center of it all, the man to keep an eye on is Hjalte Froholdt. The Cowboys defense is struggling. They are ranked 31st in four different categories, 32nd in first downs allowed, and the rushing defense is 29th in the league. Dallas also allows the second-most points per game with 31.3. For a Cardinals offense that has been inconsistent, especially in the rushing attack, this is a prime opportunity in front of a primetime audience to kickstart the identity for what they were most known. That's where Froholdt comes into play. It's imperative the captain help create gaps that will allow the running backs to break free while also doing his part to keep the pocket clean.

NUMBER: 8
AT&T Stadium is affectionately known as 'Jerry World' after Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Well, it could just as easily be called 'Kyler World' because of Kyler Murray's perfect record as a starting quarterback when playing in the venue. Counting his time at Allen High School, University of Oklahoma and now with the Cardinals, Murray is 8-0 at AT&T Stadium. (By the way that includes three state championships and a Big 12 Championship.) In his two most recent wins of the NFL variety, Murray has accounted for five touchdowns – four passing and one rushing – and zero turnovers. In other words, there may be no more perfect spot for K1 to return as QB1 because very few feel as comfortable as Murray does at AT&T Stadium.

NUANCE: Make Dak Uncomfortable
If the game of football was a recipe (work with me), we could boil it down to a pair of ingredients: QB + Get to QB. In 2025, the Cardinals defense has registered five sacks in the second half (two in the fourth quarter). Against the Cowboys' highfalutin offense, we reckon it's sumpin' simple for the AZ D -- Sack Dak. In the three games where QB Dak Prescott has taken two or more sacks, the Cowboys QB has thrown it to the opponent (five interceptions). However, in games where Prescott has been sacked just one time or less, he's thrown 13 TDs and 0 INTs. #SackDak
