KEY GAME INFORMATION
ARIZONA: Despite their Pittsburgh Steelers background, both head coach Bruce Arians and offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin have installed more of a finesse running game in Arizona, featuring more zone-blocking than classic power. It fits the skill set of undersized feature back Andre Ellington, who will get as much work as he can handle this year. They'll use him on a lot of stretch plays on the perimeter. Stepfan Taylor and Jonathan Dwyer will battle for the No. 2 job. Both can provide more of an inside, physical presence. The Cards were very run-heavy near the end zone last year, and those touches are up for grabs with Rashard Mendenhall retiring.
Arians installed more of an aggressive, downfield passing game. Larry Fitzgerald is still the centerpiece, moving around formations and often running more possession-type routes. Michael Floyd works downfield and started to see more targets as opposing defenses focused on Fitzgerald. Field stretcher Ted Ginn will rotate in as a No. 3 receiver, likely pushing Fitzgerald to the slot when he's on the field. Ellington will be used frequently in the screen game in an attempt to get him out in space. They'll use two tight ends more frequently this year, especially after the addition of second-round pick Troy Niklas. Fitzgerald remains a heavy favorite when they throw in the red zone.
Defensive coordinator Todd Bowles was a magician with the Cards in 2013, putting his team among the top-7 NFL defenses in points, yards and turnovers. The addition of shutdown cornerback Antonio Cromartie adds to a talented group that includes DE Calais Campbell and CB Patrick Peterson, but the losses of LBs Karlos Dansby to free agency and Daryl Washington to suspension could end up hurting this unit significantly.
DALLAS: Offensive line coach Bill Callahan is expected to relinquish play-calling duties to new offensive coordinator Scott Linehan in order to focus on improving the Cowboys' anemic rushing attack. They end up abandoning the run early in many games, as the zone-blocking scheme that Callahan implemented has yet to take hold. DeMarco Murray will take a headlining role again in this backfield, especially in the red zone, and he'll keep that role until his next injury. Joseph Randle and Lance Dunbar will fight for scraps.
Linehan ran a pass-happy offense in Detroit, similar to what the Cowboys have run. He's an Air Coryell disciple with a system that uses a lot of top-down reads, looking to take advantage of the deep ball. Dez Bryant is the obvious No. 1 receiver in this offense, and Linehan will likely move him around more than Dallas has done in the past. Tight end Jason Witten provides another chess piece type of weapon to wreak some havoc. Terrance Williams steps in as the No. 2 and will be used primarily as a deep threat. The Cowboys will use two tight ends as often as they go three-wide, meaning third wideout Cole Beasley and second TE Gavin Escobar will essentially split playing time. Dallas was one of the league's most pass-heavy red zone teams last year, a trend that's likely to continue this season. Bryant is the top target near the goal line, with Witten a close second.
Dallas DL coach Rod Marinelli will take over defensive coordinator duties in 2014, hoping to generate more turnovers like he did with the Bears (44 TO in 2012). But the Cowboys still give up tons of yards and will have much fewer sacks after losing both DE DeMarcus Ware (117 career sacks) and DT Jason Hatcher (11 sacks in 2013).

(UPDATES with Romo listed as questionable)

*Cardinals-Cowboys Preview* ===========================

By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer

Tied for league's best record thanks to their best start in 40 years, the Arizona Cardinals may have their most opportune chance to finally beat the Dallas Cowboys on the road.

While the Cowboys hope Tony Romo's back cooperates, Carson Palmer will try to keep the Cardinals rolling Sunday.

The Cardinals (6-1) haven't enjoyed a better start to a season since winning the first seven games of 1974, when they were in St. Louis. That run also ended with a three-point loss in Dallas, and they haven't come that close to winning there in decades aside from a wild-card victory in January 1999.

Arizona has been outscored by an average of 21.2 points while dropping 14 straight regular-season road meetings with the Cowboys (6-2) since winning in 1989. However, its last visit came at Texas Stadium in 2005.

All three meetings since have been home wins for the Cardinals, who are tied with Denver for the league's best record.

Arizona won a third straight game after Palmer hit John Brown on a 75-yard touchdown pass with 1:21 left in last week's 24-20 victory over Philadelphia. That overshadowed reaching at least 10 penalties for the second time in three games, while the defense surrendered 411 passing yards.

"We realize we can play better," said Palmer, who completed 20 of 42 passes for 329 yards while also connecting on an 80-yard TD. "I think we're realistic in that we can play better and we need to play better.

"Realizing all the negative things that happened and we still keep getting wins, I do think we have a good swagger about us, a confidence, and that will continue to live if we keep winning."

That confidence may grow further if they don't have to deal with Romo, who's expected to be a game-time decision due to his third back injury in 18 months.

The quarterback, who underwent back surgery in December, claimed he "dodged a bullet" after being sacked in the third quarter of Monday's 20-17 overtime loss to Washington. He exited after the hit, but returned and finished with 209 yards and a touchdown while connecting on 17 of 28 passes.

"Anytime someone's had back surgery you're always a little bit nervous when you get hit in a specific instance like that," Romo said. "The positive is it's completely unrelated to the disk or anything that could be long term, per se. So that part of if, yeah, that's a positive."

Romo, though, is listed as questionable and a game-time decision, and Brandon Weeden would get his first start since December with Cleveland if the Cowboys' starter can't play. Weeden led Dallas on two scoring drives in Romo's absence last week, hitting Jason Witten on a 25-yard TD pass that forced overtime, leaving many to question coach Jason Garrett's decision to return to Romo.

The team's owner wasn't one of them.

"I don't know that I've ever seen anybody who has a tougher will, his mind, and it helps him tremendously with pain threshold," Jerry Jones said. "Combination of those two things, he's as tough-minded and physically tough a player as I've ever been around."

Weeden claims he's ready if Garrett needs him again.

"I'm going to treat it no different," Weeden said. "If he's able to go, that's the best thing. We'll see how everything plays out."

Romo is second in the NFC with a 103.6 passer rating, while his 68.2 completion percentage is among the league leaders. Whoever starts will look to take advantage of a Cardinals team that's giving up a league-high 302.9 passing yards per game despite ranking third with 10 interceptions.

DeMarco Murray will again be counted on heavily, regardless of who is under center. He leads the NFL with 1,054 rushing yards while averaging 5.1 per carry with seven scores. Murray needs 67 yards to match his career high from last year, and he's reached at least 100 in each game this season.

The Cardinals entered Week 8 allowing a league-low 72.5 rushing yards per game before giving up 110 to the Eagles.

They're expected to have cornerback Patrick Peterson back after he cleared concussion protocols earlier this week following a collision with teammate Deone Bucannon and Eagles receiver Jeremy Maclin.

Palmer's efficiency has been superb, as he's led Arizona to wins in each of his four games, throwing eight touchdowns and one interception.

He may have some sympathy for Romo as a shoulder injury kept him out for three games earlier this season. Arizona won two of them behind backup Drew Stanton.
