Sunday’s game against the Washington Football Team features two 1-0 teams coming off huge upsets of division rivals. The Cardinals won a wild one on the road, while Washington battered the Eagles at home.
Almost no one thought this Week 2 matchup would be between 1-0 teams. The winner will be 2-0 with plenty of national buzz—the “Are they for real?” pieces will be all over the internet on Monday morning. The loser will fall back to 1-1 and out of the national spotlight.
So, yeah, this is pretty big game for the Cardinals if they want to make any kind of playoff push this year.
