Arlington, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Carson Palmer threw three touchdown passes and the Arizona Cardinals took advantage of Tony Romos absence in recording a 28-17 win over the reeling Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. With Romo held out after sustaining two small fractures in his back during Mondays overtime loss to Washington, the Cowboys offense wasnt the same with backup Brandon Weeden at the controls. Dallas (6-3) mustered a meager 266 total yards and didnt produce an offensive touchdown until Dez Bryants 3-yard touchdown grab from Weeden with 1:08 remaining. Weeden completed just 18-of-33 passes for 183 yards and tossed a pair of interceptions, while Bryant -- shadowed by Patrick Peterson for most of the game -- didnt register a catch until the late TD drive. The Cardinals third-ranked run defense also limited DeMarco Murray to 79 yards on 19 carries, the first time the star running back was held under 100 in nine outings this season. Palmer shook off an early interception that Tyler Patmon returned 58 yards for a touchdown to finish 22-of-34 for 249 yards for the NFC-leading Cardinals (7-1), who ended a string of 14 consecutive regular-season losses in Dallas and are off to their best eight-game start since 1974. Andre Ellington totaled 95 rushing yards on 21 attempts in the win, while adding 39 yards and a touchdown on four receptions. A day that ultimately ended in frustration got off to a very promising beginning for Dallas, as Weeden was handed a 7-0 lead before he even took a snap. Palmers down-the-middle throw into coverage on the opening drive was picked off by Patmon, with the rookie cornerback racing untouched along the sideline just over four minutes into the contest. Weeden guided the Cowboys to a field goal on his initial series, aided by a well-executed screen that Lance Dunbar turned into a 40-yard gain to set up Dan Baileys 52-yard field goal. Arizona answered with its best drive of the first half, a 13-play, 80-yard sequence in which Palmer went 5-for-7 and converted three third-down chances, the last coming on his 7-yard bullet to John Carlson that got the Cardinals within 10-7 early in the second quarter. After Dallas next two possessions went three-and-out, Arizona marched 63 yards in eight plays to move ahead. A 20-yard catch-and-run by Ellington brought the Cardinals into the red zone, and Palmer hit Jaron Brown on a third-down slant route three plays later for an 11-yard touchdown 4:34 prior to the intermission. Murrays powerful 17-yard run just before the two-minute warning got the Cowboys to the Arizona 16 and positioned Bailey for another field goal try. However, Justin Bethel swooped in to block the kick and keep the Cardinals up 14-10 at intermission. The Cowboys defense kept them in it through three quarters of play, but mistakes continued to plague Dallas on the other side of the ball. Weeden was intercepted by Tyrann Mathieu at the Cardinals 10-yard line on Dallas second drive of the second half, and Murray was stuffed by Deone Bucannon on 4th-and-1 from the Arizona 34 to thwart another scoring chance with 9:36 remaining. The Cardinals proceeded to churn out 65 yards in nine plays to create a two- score differential. Ted Ginn Jr. came down with an acrobatic 27-yard catch at the Dallas 28 and Ellington followed with a 17-yard run in front of Larry Fitzgeralds 10-yard reception to the Dallas one. Shortly after, Palmer found a wide-open Ellington in the flat for a short touchdown that gave Arizona a 21-10 lead with six minutes to play. Antonio Cromartie then jumped a route to intercept Weeden deep in Dallas territory on the ensuing possession, with the turnover leading to Marion Grices 1-yard touchdown that all but sealed the outcome with 4:20 left. Weeden engineered a 12-play, 87-yard drive in the closing moments that was capped with Bryants snare of a fade toss in the end zone.
