Arizona Cardinals: 8 reasons not to panic
By Scott Allen
All division games left to play
They may be off to a slow start but none of the games yet have been against the NFC West. They have their full slate of divisional games remaining.
The Cardinals will start their NFC West slate on Sunday, hosting the current NFC West leading Los Angeles Rams. They will have a chance to avenge one of their two division losses from a year ago.
They don’t get much rest at all after the Sunday’s game. They will travel on a short week to face the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. With a game against the New York Jets in between, they will face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football on October 23rd.
The Cardinals will know pretty fast if they have a team able to not only win in the division but be able to compete for the division title and a playoff appearance. Forget the records, when division foes face each other, you are put to a greater test.
