2. Arizona Cardinals Receivers vs. Panthers Defensive Backs
The bad news for the Arizona Cardinals: All Pro Panthers corner, Josh Norman is going to cover one of the Cardinals’ receivers.
The good news: Josh Norman can’t cover Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and Josh Brown at once.
The icing on the cake: Josh Norman played less than 2% covering the slot receiver where Larry Fitzgerald usually plays.
Cardinal receivers were only able to pile up 90 total yards in last year’s wild card game. This time around, it will be Carson Palmer throwing the passes. With Norman expected to cover speedster and the Cardinals’ deep threat John Brown and the Panthers providing safety help on whoever is covering Fitzgerald, Carson Palmer will have the tough task of finding different receivers throughout the entire game. It will be the receivers’ job to get open against a staunch Panthers defense.
