The Arizona Cardinals have come from behind to take a 14-10 lead into the halfway stage of their NFL clash with the Dallas Cowboys this evening.
The Cardinals got off to a nightmare start to the match as Carson Palmer saw his pass picked off by Tyler Patmon, who returned it 58 yards for the opening touchdown.
Dallas extended their advantage later in the quarter, although this time they were forced to settle for a field goal as Dan Bailey converted from 52 yards to make the gap 10 points.
Larry Fitzgerald made two big catches on a drive at the start of the second quarter to get the Cardinals into a scoring position, and they made the most of it as Palmer found John Carlson in the middle of the endzone for a seven-yard score.
The visitors then moved into the lead with less than five minutes of the half remaining as Palmer threw his second touchdown pass of the quarter, this time combining with Jaron Brown for an 11-yard score.
It could have been even more at the break as they lined up a last-gasp field goal, but the effort was blocked, leaving the score 14-10 at half time.
