Kyler Murray is slated to return in Week 9 after being sidelined for the Cardinals' previous two games due to a foot injury. That's great news for Arizona as Murray is unbeatable when he's in Dallas. Literally. The Cardinals quarterback and Texas native is 9-0 in his football life at AT&T Stadium, ranging from high school, college, and the NFL.

After NFL Week 9, that title belongs to the NFC West, where just one game separates all four teams. The Arizona Cardinals are 5-4. The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers are both 4-4. The Seattle Seahawks are 4-5.
