The Arizona Cardinals are on the road for the second consecutive week, facing the Atlanta Falcons

The Arizona Cardinals are a heartbeat away from having any realistic chances at playoff contention. Although not mathematically out of it, a loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday would pretty much seal the deal for 2016.

What: Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons

Where: Georgia Dome, Atlanta, GA

When: 11:00 a.m. Sunday November 27th

TV: FOX (Kevin Burkhardt, John Lynch)

Radio: Arizona Sports 98.7 FM (Dave Pasch, Ron Wolfley)

The Cardinals are coming off a heartbreaking 30-24 loss in Minnesota.  The Falcons are coming off their bye week, which can always be a dangerous thing for an opponent.  They are also coming off a loss in their last game two weeks ago 24-15 to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Cardinals will have head coach Bruce Arians on the sidelines after a health scare sent him to the hospital after returning from Minnesota last Sunday.  The last time the Cardinals played the Falcons was in 2014 when the Falcons defeated the Cardinals 29-18.

The Cardinals were without starting quarterback Carson Palmer who had torn his ACL two weeks earlier. The Cardinals do not have a good history in the Georgia Dome.  They are 1-8 lifetime in the stadium.
