The Arizona Cardinals are pulling off the wildest act in the NFL this season. They have already secured the two biggest upsets by point spread through the first six weeks of the season. That’s the good news.
The Defense: From All-Time Bad to Best in the League?
When they lose, it’s brutal. The Cardinals are giving up a mind-blowing 37 points per game in their four losses this year. But then, when they *win*, their defense locks down, giving up just 15 points per game. That’s not just a difference, that’s a whole other team showing up, isn’t it? It means their defense is either the absolute worst, maybe of all-time, or suddenly the best in the league, purely based on points allowed in those games. Consistency? What’s that?
The Offense: Stagnant, No Matter What
Meanwhile, the offense? It’s a whole different story. They’re averaging a paltry 20.5 points per game in their losses and only slightly better with 22 points per game in their wins. That’s some consistent stagnation right there. The points just aren’t flowing, regardless of whether they’re celebrating a win or shaking off a tough loss.
After pulling off another upset win, you’d think confidence would be flying high, right? But with these kind of wild swings, the big question hanging over Glendale is simple: do fans really feel better about this team, or are they still bracing for the next unpredictable game?
