  • 2nd and 5
  • Cardinals line up in a spread formation, with 3 receivers to the right, 1 receiver to the left, 1 RB to the right of the QB
  • Defense appears to be in a Cover 2 zone, with press coverage on the single WR to the left.
  • Defense is shading to the 3 receiver side, which gives the Cardinals a numbers advantage for running to the left (weak) side.
