What happened: Dallas scored 22, 16, and 17 points across three meetings with Arizona during Jonathan Gannon's three-season tenure as Cardinals head coach. Gannon posted a 15-36 overall record in Arizona, matching his three results against Dak Prescott with a 3-15 mark against the NFC West's Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, and San Francisco 49ers.

Why it matters: Gannon now serves as defensive coordinator for a Green Bay Packers unit that deployed overload blitzes against New York earlier this season. His track record of limiting Dallas carries directly into the NFC, where the Cowboys sit at 2-3 after allowing 419 total yards and 24 points in Week 5 following the Micah Parsons trade to Green Bay.

What to watch: Gannon's pressure packages in Green Bay remain a key matchup factor for future NFC meetings with Dallas. Meanwhile, Gannon's former Arizona club (2-7) faces the Los Angeles Rams (5-3) in Sunday's scheduled Week 6 matchup.
