1. at Dallas Cowboys (week 6)

Undoubtedly this will be the toughest game on the schedule for the Cardinals in 2020.  There will be a lot working against the Cardinals in this one.

Let’s start with the fact the game will take place on the national stage on Monday Night Football.  Then it’s a road game.  Not only is it a road game but it will be the third consecutive game on the road for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals were one of only three teams that were scheduled for three consecutive road games this season.  The third one being a national Monday night game is just the NFL’s way of show us how good, how tough a team you are .  It should be fun watching Kyler Murray going up against the Cowboys for the first time in his career.

It will also be the most anticipated game for the Cardinals and their fans, at least up until it is played on October 19th.  It will be a true test to see if the Cardinals have turned the corner and are ready to contend for a playoff spot.
