Cardinals Face Tough Challenge as Defense Struggles

The Arizona Cardinals are set to play on the road against the Los Angeles Rams, having not secured a home victory since September 14, 2025. This matchup poses a significant challenge as the Rams possess a strong offense that could exploit the Cardinals' defensive weaknesses.

In recent weeks, the Cardinals have struggled defensively, allowing 36 or more points in three consecutive games. This performance is just one game shy of tying the all-time record for the most consecutive games allowing that many points in a season.

Historically, only a few teams have matched this feat, including the 2010 Bills and the 2004 Titans. If the Cardinals concede 36 points again this week, they will have the opportunity to set a new record in their next game against the Denver Broncos. Additionally, the Cardinals have lost eight straight games within the NFC West, and another defeat would tie their franchise record for consecutive losses in the division.
