Tyler Allgeier was the running back who starred for the Arizona Cardinals, rushing for 147 yards at the Dallas Cowboys.

But it was eccentric back-up quarterback Gardner Minshew who helped turn the game in Arizona's favour after replacing an ineffective Jacoby Brissett with the Cardinals trailing 17-3 late in the third quarter.

After being a late draft pick by Jacksonville in 2019, Minshew has spent most of his career as a back-up and in the off-season Arizona became his sixth team in eight years.

He made a thrilling debut, though, becoming the first quarterback this season to throw three touchdown passes in a fourth quarter.

That tied the game at the death, and although recent hero Chad Ryland failed to kick the extra point, he redeemed himself in overtime with a field goal to win 33-30.

It is only the second time Dallas have ever lost when leading by 10 points inside the final three minutes and leaves them 3-5.

It also heaps pressure on head coach Brian Schottenheimer, with outspoken team owner Jerry Jones saying: "It's an indictment of the whole show".

The Cardinals then confirmed on Monday that Minshew will be their starting quarterback at Seattle next Sunday.
