If everything remains as is, the Arizona Cardinals are just two months away from kicking off the 2020 season

We realize it’s still a big if, however if nothing changes between now and then, the Arizona Cardinals will be kicking off in San Francisco against the 49ers in just over two months from now.  Let’s hope it happens.

That said, we’ve not visited the Cardinals 2020 schedule much since it came out two months ago.  As we grow closer, possibly just three weeks away, to training camps opening, it’s time to start looking at the schedule again.

The Cardinals schedule has its bright spots and its tough stretches.  However there are a few games we should look to as pivotal to challenging for a playoff spot.

You could make a case that every game is pivotal and that truly could be the case if the season gets reduced at all.  The NFL has already reduced the preseason from four games to two games.  There is a chance the preseason games could end up being scrubbed all together if the NFLPA gets its way.
