Arlington, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Carson Palmer threw three touchdown passes and the Arizona Cardinals took advantage of Tony Romos absence in recording a 28-17 win over the reeling Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. With Romo held out after sustaining two small fractures in his back during Mondays overtime loss to Washington, the Cowboys offense wasnt the same with backup Brandon Weeden at the controls. Dallas (6-3) mustered a meager 266 total yards and didnt produce an offensive touchdown until Dez Bryants 3-yard touchdown grab from Weeden with 1:08 remaining. Weeden completed just 18-of-33 passes for 183 yards and tossed a pair of interceptions, while Bryant -- shadowed by Patrick Peterson for most of the game -- didnt register a catch until the late TD drive. The Cardinals third-ranked run defense also limited DeMarco Murray to 79 yards on 19 carries, the first time the star running back was held under 100 in nine outings this season. Palmer shook off an early interception that Tyler Patmon returned 58 yards for a touchdown to finish 22-of-34 for 249 yards for the NFC-leading Cardinals (7-1), who ended a string of 14 consecutive regular-season losses in Dallas and are off to their best eight-game start since 1974. Andre Ellington totaled 95 rushing yards on 21 attempts in the win, while adding 39 yards and a touchdown on four receptions. A day that ultimately ended in frustration got off to a very promising beginning for Dallas, as Weeden was handed a 7-0 lead before he even took a snap. Palmers down-the-middle throw into coverage on the opening drive was picked off by Patmon, with the rookie cornerback racing untouched along the sideline just over four minutes into the contest. Weeden guided the Cowboys to a field goal on his initial series, aided by a well-executed screen that Lance Dunbar turned into a 40-yard gain to set up Dan Baileys 52-yard field goal. Arizona answered with its best drive of the first half, a 13-play, 80-yard sequence in which Palmer went 5-for-7 and converted three third-down chances, the last coming on his 7-yard bullet to John Carlson that got the Cardinals within 10-7 early in the second quarter. After Dallas next two possessions went three-and-out, Arizona marched 63 yards in eight plays to move ahead. A 20-yard catch-and-run by Ellington brought the Cardinals into the red zone, and Palmer hit Jaron Brown on a third-down slant route three plays later for an 11-yard touchdown 4:34 prior to the intermission. Murrays powerful 17-yard run just before the two-minute warning got the Cowboys to the Arizona 16 and positioned Bailey for another field goal try. However, Justin Bethel swooped in to block the kick and keep the Cardinals up 14-10 at intermission. The Cowboys defense kept them in it through three quarters of play, but mistakes continued to plague Dallas on the other side of the ball. Weeden was intercepted by Tyrann Mathieu at the Cardinals 10-yard line on Dallas second drive of the second half, and Murray was stuffed by Deone Bucannon on 4th-and-1 from the Arizona 34 to thwart another scoring chance with 9:36 remaining. The Cardinals proceeded to churn out 65 yards in nine plays to create a two- score differential. Ted Ginn Jr. came down with an acrobatic 27-yard catch at the Dallas 28 and Ellington followed with a 17-yard run in front of Larry Fitzgeralds 10-yard reception to the Dallas one. Shortly after, Palmer found a wide-open Ellington in the flat for a short touchdown that gave Arizona a 21-10 lead with six minutes to play. Antonio Cromartie then jumped a route to intercept Weeden deep in Dallas territory on the ensuing possession, with the turnover leading to Marion Grices 1-yard touchdown that all but sealed the outcome with 4:20 left. Weeden engineered a 12-play, 87-yard drive in the closing moments that was capped with Bryants snare of a fade toss in the end zone.

Wholesale Seahawks Jerseys .Y. -- As if the worst start in franchise history isnt bad enough, Buffalo Sabres President Ted Black braced his teams win-starved fans for potentially more tough times.MINNEAPOLIS -- After another strong start by Dallas Keuchel and an impressive home run from George Springer, it was Dexter Fowler who saved the game for the Houston Astros with a diving catch. Keuchel didnt allow a run over six innings, Springer hit his 11th home run and the Astros held on to beat the Minnesota Twins 5-4 on Friday night. The Twins could have tied the game in the eighth inning if not for Fowlers spectacular, diving grab that robbed Trevor Plouffe of a leadoff extra-base hit. "That play by Dexter Fowler may have been the play of the game," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "Thats a leadoff double, if not a triple, if he ends up diving and not getting the ball." Marwin Gonzalez and Matt Dominguez also homered off Phil Hughes (6-2), who lost for the first time in nine starts. The Astros have won six straight road games and 10 of their last 13 overall. Danny Santana hit his first career home run, a two-run shot in the seventh inning off reliever Tony Sipp as the Twins tried to rally late. After the start of the game was delayed 1 hour, 21 minutes by a storm that never arrived, Keuchel (7-3) struck out six and won for the fifth time in his last six starts. Springer drove a pitch from Hughes that was down and away and off the plate an estimated 402 feet to the opposite field in the sixth to give Houston a 5-0 lead. "That there is what you call power to all fields," Porter said with a big smile on his face. It was Springers first homer in June after he hit 10 in May and was selected the American League rookie of the month. Since May 11, Houston is 16-9 and on track to avoid 100-plus losses for the first time since 2010. Gonzalez pulled back on a drag bunt attempt in the third, then lined the next pitch over the wall in right field to give the Astros a 1-0 lead. Dominguez drove a high fastball from Hughes to straightaway centre in the fourth, hitting it just far enough to get it over the glove of a leaping Aaron Hicks. It was the first time Hughes allowed multiple homers since his first start of the season on April 3. Coming into the game, Hughes had allowed only four home runs all season and just one in his last 48 innings.dddddddddddd "Just the mistakes over the plate really," Hughes said. "I didnt have my best fastball tonight and just wasnt making adjustments the way I had before." Chad Qualls pitched around a two-out throwing error by Dominguez in the ninth to earn his seventh save in eight chances. Eduardo Escobar had three hits including an RBI double that made it 5-4 with two outs in the eighth. Escobars double would have tied the game if Fowler didnt sprint over to the left-centre gap and rob Plouffe, sliding a long way on the grass after securing the catch. "When it was hit, I was like, I got to go a long way for that," Fowler said. "So I just put my head down and ran and I picked it up. The only way I could catch it was if I dive for it." Oswaldo Arcia, who homered in his previous two games but didnt start because of a sprained ankle, pinch-hit and flied out on the first pitch from lefty Darin Downs. But it was the Astros defence, including a diving play for the first out in the ninth by second baseman Jose Altuve that saved this one. "They made play after play," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We hit some balls pretty good and they kept making diving plays all over the place, which actually saved the ballgame for them because we put some decent swings out there and had plenty of chances." About 10 minutes before the first pitch, the Target Field grounds crew rolled out the infield tarp in anticipation of a storm that was approaching the area. It never rained during the delay, but light rain did fall in the early innings.
