On a more positive note, there are some previously injured players who are set to make their return in Week 9. After being sidelined since Week 2, Minnesota will bring back quarterback J.J. McCarthy, while the Los Angeles Rams will welcome back star wideout Puka Nacua.

The Arizona Cardinals have beaten the Dallas Cowboys 27-17 at AT&T Stadium on “Monday Night Football,” ending their five-game losing streak. Jacoby Brissett, filling in for the injured Kyler Murray, threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns. Marvin Harrison Jr. had a career-high seven receptions for 96 yards and a TD.

The Arizona Cardinals' future with star quarterback Kyler Murray appears to be murky. Murray, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, has had some big years. He threw for 3,851 yards and 21 touchdowns last season.

All it took for the Arizona Cardinals to get back into the win column was a matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Given the Sunday carnage, it’s a good thing they were playing the Saints. The next three weeks, though (at San Francisco, vs. the Seahawks, vs. the Bucs) will show whether they deserve to be the fourth team to hold the top spot this year.
