Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury understands the challenge that awaits them in Week 17 when they face the Dallas Cowboys, and he made sure to remind his players of that.

The Cowboys are on a roll, having won four straight with phenomenal defense and an offense that is starting to click. They obliterated the Washington Football Team in their recent meeting, with Dak Prescott throwing four touchdowns to become the first player in NFL history to have a TD pass to a running back, wide receiver, tight end, and offensive lineman in a single regular-season game.

Kingsbury knows it will be difficult for them to beat such a balanced team, but he wants his Cardinals to embrace the challenge and not let it discourage them. After all, they need the win now more than ever.

“One of the most talented rosters in the NFL, there's no doubt. Dan Quinn has done a tremendous job with that defense. They're flying around, playing with a lot of energy, a lot of juice, turning the ball over. They look incredible. Offensively, they're still rolling like they have been with Kellen calling the plays. I think he's done a great job with Dak and that group of skill players that they have. On special teams they scored (Sunday) night, as well. A very complete team, they've hit their stride right now, and it will be a huge challenge for us,” Kingsbury said, per Jon Machota of The Athletic.

The Cardinals have now lost three straight games after starting off hot and being the best team in the league record-wise. They have since dropped to second in the NFC West, but they still have a chance to take the top spot and win the division.

Sure enough, facing a highly motivated Cowboys team will not be easy, but if there's a team that can make things exciting against Mike McCarthy's men, it's Kliff Kingsbury and his Arizona squad.
