Arizona Cardinals must capitalize on three key matchups heading into Carolina
By Sion Fawkes
The Arizona Cardinals are heading into Week Four following a stunning loss to the Detroit Lions.
This week, the Arizona Cardinals look to turn things around as they head to Charlotte to face the Carolina Panthers, a team coming off its first win of the season. As with Week Three, the Cardinals are the better team on paper, with the offense facing a Panthers team featuring a weak pass rush and run defense.
On the other side of the ball, the Cardinals relentless pass rush can overpower a suspect Panthers offensive line that has given up nearly 3 sacks per game in this still-early 2020 NFL season. A Cardinals pass rush that has already attained 11 sacks on opposing quarterbacks and isn’t relying solely on star Chandler Jones.
The following sides reveal three key advantages the Cardinals have in their upcoming matchup against the Panthers. Yet as we learned last week, they must capitalize on its advantages if they figure to take home the W. Anything less will result in another reality check. Something this team can’t afford to do playing in the NFL’s toughest division.
