The Arizona Cardinals are sitting at a rough 2-5 right now, and man, they need a win bad if they want to keep any kind of pace in the NFC West. Good news, though: they’re facing the Cowboys this week, and Dallas’ defense is, let’s just say, *struggling*.
Brissett’s Momentum vs. Dallas’ Defensive Woes
We’re talking about the 29th-ranked total defense in the league, people! Seriously, 29th! And their pass defense? A not-much-better 21st. This is huge for Jacoby Brissett, who’s actually been slinging it, racking up at least 270 passing yards in two of his last three games. He’s got some momentum, and this looks like a prime chance for the Cardinals’ offense to finally get right.
What Arizona Needs to Do
But to make that happen, the Cardinals *have* to find ways to get Michael Wilson and Trey McBride open. That’s the key right there for Brissett. On the other side of the ball, it’s cool to see Kalen King really carving out a role for himself on defense, making plays. Plus, the team’s been tweaking the depth chart for Week Eight, so maybe those changes will spark something new.
This game against Dallas is a massive opportunity for the Cardinals to claw their way back into the NFC West picture. They need to seize this chance against a vulnerable Cowboys defense. Meanwhile, talk around the league is buzzing. Like, did you hear folks wondering why Micah Parsons’ ACL recovery is taking longer than Patrick Mahomes’? Wild, right? And the Bears just went all-in, trading multiple first-round picks for the Titans’ star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. Big moves out there. But for the Cardinals, it’s all about Sunday and that path to getting back on track.
