Cardinals RT Paris Johnson vs. Cowboys LB Micah Parsons
Parsons has three sacks, six quarterback hits, four tackles for loss and a forced fumble through two games.
He won’t just line up against Johnson, a rookie who has looked very good so far, but Parsons will offer his toughest test yet.
Cardinals CB Marco Wilson vs. Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb
Wilson had a rough game last week against the Giants. Lamb had over 140 yards against the Jets. Can Wilson bounce back and show he is a true No. 1 corner or will Lamb expose him?
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown vs. Cowboys CB Stephon Gilmore
Gilmore likely will be tasked with covering Brown now that Trevon Diggs injured his knee in practice, tearing his ACL.
Brown had six catches for 54 yards and a touchdown last week.
Cardinals LB Dennis Gardeck vs. Cowboys RT Terence Steele
Gardeck has three sacks in two games (the same number as Parsons). He faces a tough right tackle in Steele, but will he be able to continue the consistent pressure and big plays?
