Cowboys blocked in their attempt to win in overtime

07:22 PM CDT on Sunday, October 12, 2008

Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Sean Morey blocked Mat McBriar's punt and

Monty Beisel scooped up the ball and scored from 3 yards to give

the Arizona Cardinals a crazy 30-24 overtime victory over the

Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Morey rushed untouched off the left side of the Dallas line to

block the kick. Beisel, a backup linebacker, picked up the ball at

about the 3 and bowled over the goal line.

The stunning play by two of Arizona's most unheralded players

brought a conclusion to a game loaded with confusion, controversy

and clutch performances.

Dallas scored 10 points in the final 2 minutes of regulation,

sending the game into overtime when Nick Folk's 52-yard field goal

barely cleared the crossbar as the fourth quarter ended.

Folk was in field-goal range only because a 5-yard offside

penalty was called against injured Arizona linebacker Travis LaBoy

as he tried to limp off the field. That moved the ball from the 40

to the 35.

That was just one of the weird moments in Arizona's sixth

consecutive home victory.
