David Buehler's missed extra point ruined the debut of Dallas rookie quarterback Stephen McGee as Arizona's Jay Feely hit a 48-yard field goal with five seconds left to give the Cardinals an incredible 27-26 victory over the Cowboys on Saturday night at University of Phoenix Stadium.The Cardinals had started the game with a bang with two early interception returns for touchdowns and the Cowboys had seemingly finished it with a 37-yard touchdown pass from McGee to Miles Austin with 1:17 remaining. The only reason that McGee had the chance to be the hero was that Arizona cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who scored the first touchdown, was called for pass interference on 4th-and-5 on the previous play.
And when Buehler's extra point went wide left, Arizona only needed a field goal for the triumph. Rookie quarterback John Skelton finally got the ball to star receiver Larry Fitzgerald for 26 yards on fourth-and-15. Feely's game-winning field goal came six seconds later as the Cardinals improved to 5-10.
The Cowboys, like the Cardinals a division champion in 2009, slipped to 5-10, 4-3 under interim coach Jason Garrett.
