Cardinals 19, Cowboys 13

The Cardinals are on a roll, they knocked off the Cowboys 19-13 today to move to 5-7 on the season.  They've now won 4 of their last 5 games.  Their defense has improved immensely as the season has progressed, props to Ray Horton for the job that he's done.  If they win out, they can still finish with a 9-7 record, that would give them an outside shot at the playoffs.   It's a long shot but there's hope.  

Observations:
-WR Andre Roberts had probably the best game of his career.  
-Kevin Kolb looked ok in his return to action, there's still room for improvement though. 
-This was the Cardinals first win against a team with a winning record this season.
-Nice pass rush by the Cardinals today (5 sacks).  Of course they gave up 5 sacks too.
-Patrick Peterson continues to show improvement at CB. 
-It was good to see the roof open on University of Phoenix Stadium. 
-LaRod Stephens-Howling is becoming a very nice change of pace 3rd down RB.  
-Todd Heap was inactive once again, I'm sensing he won't be back next season. 
-Cowboys have lost three consecutive games at UofP on the final play. in 08, 10 and now '11.
-Up next are the 49ers at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ
