Hard to move, easy to finish against

Thirty point six per cent allowed on third down and 3.50 a carry explain the +43. The 83.3% conceded in the red zone is the worst mark in football and sits oddly beside the rest.

Arizona is not equipped to take advantage. It finishes 45.5% of its own red-zone trips, third-lowest in the league, and has been outscored by 63.

The Cardinals’ defence is the deeper issue: 29 touchdowns conceded and a 110.4 opponent rating, both among the two worst in the NFL.

Players to watch

  • Sam Darnold (SEA, QB): 1,478 yards and 10 scores at a 79.5 rating.
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA, WR): First read in a passing game worth 1,778 yards.
  • Gardner Minshew II (ARI, QB): Rated 137.3 in relief last week.
  • Trey McBride (ARI, TE): Arizona’s leading target through the air.
