Cardinals have had Cowboys’ number since leaving the NFC East
The Dallas Cowboys‘ opponent in the third week of the 2023 season will be another long-time nemesis. The Cowboys will travel to Phoenix and battle the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium on Sept. 24th. It will be the 91st regular season meeting between the two teams and 92nd overall.
Dallas will enter the game with an overall record of 56-34-1 against the Cardinals, and a scoring advantage of 2083-1611. The Cowboys are 32-13 at home, with an 1137-757 edge on the scoreboard and 24-21-1 with a 946-854 lead away from Dallas.
The Team Formerly From Chicago
When the two teams met for the first time, in St. Louis on Oct. 23, 1960, the Cardinals had just moved south from Chicago. Dallas came up on the short end of a 12-10 score that day. The teams would be moved into the same division the following season and would remain division rivals through the end of the 2001 season.
The Cowboys would struggle with the Cardinals in the early 1960s, dropping their first six contests, before finally defeating St. Louis, 28-24 on Dec. 15, 1963, in St. Louis. Dallas would dominate the series the rest of the time the Cardinals called St. Louis home.
