With six seconds left in regulation at AT&T Stadium, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson ’21 M.A ’22 got behind the Dallas defense in the back of the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown that tied Sunday’s game at 30. The score came right after a 27-yard grab that put the Cardinals at the Dallas 13-yard line. Arizona proceeded to win 33-30 in overtime.
Elsewhere, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee ’24 lost his third-straight game as a starter, and several other Stanford alumni, including San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, enjoyed a bye week.
Standout performances
Bobby Okereke ’18 (LB, Carolina Panthers) – Okereke made five tackles and recovered a fumble in a 27-19 loss last Thursday at Green Bay.

Michael Wilson ’21 M.A. ’22 (WR, Arizona Cardinals) – Wilson finished with eight catches for 111 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets, a season high for the fourth-year receiver.

Wilson is also playing through two broken ribs and has posted 486 receiving yards and two touchdown catches halfway through the season. The Cardinals are 3-5.
