Rashan Gary's Critical Penalty Costs Cowboys Victory Over Cardinals

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rashan Gary acknowledged his costly roughing-the-passer penalty on Arizona Cardinals backup quarterback Gardner Minshew in the fourth quarter, a mistake that helped seal a Cowboys defeat at AT&T Stadium. Gary pressured Cardinals starter Jacoby Brissett early but his late hit on Minshew extended a crucial Arizona drive. "I have to be smarter," Gary said after the game. The penalty occurred with the Cowboys trailing and contributed directly to the loss on November 5, 2026.
