Cowboys vs Cardinals live stream: How to watch NFL week 3 online right now

The Cowboys vs Cardinals live stream — which kicks off right now — has two teams starting their seasons heading in opposite directions. Dallas enters at 2-0 with two very convincing victories, while Arizona at 0-2 is struggling to find their way. The Cardinals are hoping this NFL live stream gets them off the schneid.

Dallas has been the NFL’s most dominant team through the first two weeks of the season. They enter week three with the most points scored and fewest points allowed, but if there has been one star of the Cowboys’ show, it’s been linebacker Micah Parsons. The 24-year-old two-time all-pro leads a Dallas defense that has 10 sacks and allowed just 10 total points this season. Parsons has four tackles for loss and three sacks through two games to lead the team. 

The Cowboys’ defense did take a tough hit this week when all-pro corner Trevon Diggs suffered an ACL tear in practice Thursday ending his season. Diggs is ranked first in the NFL in opponent's passer rating when targeted (63.0) and interceptions (15) over the last three seasons.   

The Cardinals are trying to find a way to hold onto a lead. In both their games this season, they led in the second half but failed to close out a win. In Week 1, they led the Commanders 16-10 at the start of the fourth quarter, before losing that game, 20-16. Then last week, they let a 21-point lead slip away in the second half to fall to the Giants 31-28. It was their largest blown lead in over a decade. 

Quarterback Joshua Dobbs has been given the tough task of taking over for the injured Kyler Murray. Dobbs has thrown for just one touchdown through two games while posting a passer rating of 89.5. Last week, he was helped by the ground attack as running back James Conner ran for 106 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. Dobbs also contributed to the run game with the first rushing touchdown of his career, running through Giants' safety Xavier McKinney at the goal line on a 23-yard scramble.   

Arizona’s defense got some bad news this week when all-pro safety Budda Baker was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury suffered in the loss to the Giants. They will have to rely on the strong start of linebacker Dennis Gardeck who has tallied three sacks in two games.  

According to Draft Kings, the Cardinals are HUGE 11.5-point road favorites over the Cowboys. The over/under is 43.5.
