America's team, the Dallas Cowboys, take on the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday afternoon. Want to watch or listen to the game? Here's all the info you need to stay in touch with the Cowboys' Week 2 NFL Preseason game.

Time: 4:30 p.m. ET

TV-Channel: NFL Network

Radio: Listen to Sirius XM Radio

This will be the first game of Saturday's tripleheader action brought to you by NFL Network. Straight from the University of Phoenix Stadium, the Cardinals will host the Cowboys. Dallas has been a busy team this preseason, having participated in the Hall of Fame game where they beat the Miami Dolphins 24-20. They are coming off a loss against the Oakland Raiders. Let's be honest though, it was a cheap win. The Raiders kicked their way into the lead as the Cowboys struggled to get on the board. 

Quarterback Nick Stephens made his contributions, completing 11/19 passes for 102 yards. The Cowboys' true worries, however, lie within the running game. They have Joseph Randle and Phillip Tanner fighting for a roster spot. So far in both preseason games, Randle has 21 carries for 86 yards and a score while Tanner has 17 carries for 84 yards and a score. 

There's no doubt about who the No. 1 wide receiver is in Dallas, Dez Bryant, though it's preseason, leads the Cowboys in yardage, racking up 55 yards with three catches. 

The Cowboys face a Cardinals team that is coming off a huge victory against the Green Bay Packers. Okay, it's only the preseason, so "huge victory" is a bit of an overstatement, but a 17-0 victory means that your defense is doing the right thing. Of course, they're used to this in Arizona. Last year, the Cardinals started the season a perfect, 4-0, before losing nine straight games.

They will attempt to place all of last season's struggles behind them in 2013. Drew Stanton and Carson Palmer are already making a world of a difference. Stanton racked up 107 yards and a touchdown after completing 8/14 passes. Palmer also threw for a touchdown after completing an efficient 4/6 passes for 77 yards. 

Guess who is happy? The Cardinals' receivers. Larry Fitzgerald must be excited. He only has 21 yards in two receptions, but just wait for the season to start. Charles Hawkins has 92 yards in four receptions so far in the preseason.

There will be a lot of talent on the field this afternoon as the Cowboys and Cardinals square up for the Week 2 NFL Preseason meeting.
