Cowboys face key questions ahead of Week 8 matchup against Cardinals
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys prepare to host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8 of the NFL season, seeking their first winning streak. Currently riding a victory over Philadelphia, which ended a two-game skid, the Cowboys look to improve against a team they have struggled with historically, holding a 1-8 record against the Cardinals in their last nine meetings. Questions remain about the Cowboys' ability to capitalize on their offensive strengths, maintain momentum in the running game, and adjust their mentality heading into this matchup against an underperforming Arizona squad.
