Third-round rookie linebacker Dat Nguyen was playing in his third career NFL game for the Cowboys in their Week 3 matchup with the Cardinals when the opposing quarterback threw a pass that was deflected in his direction. Nguyen reached out with one hand to snatch the ball out of the air for his first career interception, giving the ball back to the Cowboys offense in the fourth quarter. Nguyen tallied three total tackles in this one, one of which went for a loss, in addition to the interception, as Dallas beat Arizona, 35-7, on Oct. 3, 1999.
