Michael Wilson caught the touchdown that sent Arizona's game against the Cowboys to overtime, and made the play that started the winning drive: 8 catches on 15 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown, his most receiving yards this season, +1 carry for 17. His targets were worth +5.8 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, or +0.38 a target. He drew 240 air yards, 60% of the team's.

The last drive of regulation was his. Down 30-24 with 50 seconds left, second and 10 at the Arizona 34, he caught a deep throw to the right for 21 yards. On third and 5 at the Dallas 40 with 27 seconds left, another deep ball to the right went for 27 to the 13. With 10 seconds left, second and 10, Gardner Minshew threw short over the middle and Wilson caught it in the end zone: +3.9 EPA and 38.7 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. Those three catches added 63.6 points of win probability.

In overtime, tied 30-30 on third and 1 at the Arizona 41, he took a handoff around left end for 17 yards to the Dallas 42, +1.5 EPA and 17.0 points. Arizona kicked the winning field goal five plays later.

The first half was harder. Jacoby Brissett threw to him 8 times before the switch to Gardner Minshew, for 3 catches and 34 yards, and two of the misses came on third and short in the first quarter, the second on third and 1 at the Dallas 1.

It was a turn from his first seven games: 37 catches on 66 targets for 375 yards and -6.4 EPA, -0.10 a target.
