The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Arizona Cardinals 34-13 in an NFL preseason game played in Glendale, Arizona, on August 22, 2026. Backup quarterback Joe Milton led Dallas's offense, completing 9 of 13 passes for 179 yards and accounting for three touchdowns, including a 53-yard touchdown pass to Jonathan Mingo and a 1-yard rushing score set up by a 70-yard completion to Camden Brown.
Milton's performance came amid an ongoing competition with Sam Howell for the Cowboys' No. 2 quarterback job behind starter Dak Prescott. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said after the game that the competition remained unresolved heading into the preseason finale. Dallas also got strong showings from linebacker Jaishawn Barham and running back Jaydon Blue, while Arizona's offense managed only 13 points against the Cowboys defense.
The win kept Dallas unbeaten in the 2026 preseason. Community sentiment on this question leaned against a Cowboys win, with only 25% of voters (on a small sample of 4 votes) picking Dallas; the lopsided result left that minority forecast on the right side and the majority on the wrong side of the outcome.
