The first half of the Dallas Cowboys' duel against a backup quarterback in Jacoby Brissett and the substandard Arizona Cardinals offense he has been leading has gone about as poorly as possible. The much-maligned secondary is barely lifting a finger against the Dallas defense.
Arizona has gotten Marvin Harrison Jr. revved up early on, as he caught five passes for 64 yards and a touchdown on the first two drives. His touchdown came via a picture-perfect release at the line of scrimmage that was so exemplary that DaRon Bland fell to the turf trying to stop it.
