The Arizona Cardinals schedule in 2016 appears a little tougher than it was in 2015
Of course I see every game the Arizona Cardinals play as a must watch. However these are the five games seen as the most highly anticipated. The Cardinals play the NFC West teams each twice obviously, then they will play first-place teams in the NFC East and the NFC North. They also play all of the NFC South and all of the AFC East.
This will likely be the last time the Cardinals will see Tom Brady in a Patriots uniform. This game also happens to be in Glendale at University of Phoenix Stadium. New England is one of only three teams remaining in the NFL to not have played a regular season game in UOP Stadium, although they have played two Super Bowls in that building.
I also believe this game will get national television exposure. My best guess is a Sunday Night Football matchup. Boston-are transplants will flock to this one though unfortunately. They’ve not seen their Patriots in Arizona since 2004 when they last played the Cardinals in Arizona at Sun Devil Stadium.
The last time these two teams met was in 2012 in Foxboro and the Cardinals stunned the Patriots with a 20-18 victory, lead by quarterback Kevin Kolb. This game will be a fun one to watch. Many thought this would end up being this year’s Super Bowl. It could be a preview of Super Bowl LI in Houston.
Next: These guys again?
