Cardinals’ Defense can only be as good as its leader

The Arizona Cardinals offense has drastically improved this season thanks to head coach Kliff Kingsbury and quarterback Kyler Murray. No one could have ever expected this type of performance considering the Cardinals ranked last in all offensive categories in 2018.

Despite the impressiveness of the offense, the Cardinals defense remains one of the worst in the NFL. They are currently allowing an average of 28.8 points and 415.2 total yards, which are ranked 29th and 31st respectively. In the last three games, the Cardinals were in positions to win but the lack of discipline of the defense put Kyler Murray in a position to fail.
