The Atlanta Falcons will host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon. Here are all the highlights, the game recap, and the final score.

0. 32. Final. 0. 44

The Atlanta Falcons (6-4) will host the Arizona Cardinals (4-5-1) on Sunday afternoon in Week 12. Kickoff from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta will be at 1:00 p.m. ET. FOX will have the telecast.

Atlanta leads the NFC South by a game over the 5-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Falcons are coming off their Week 12 bye. Before that, Atlanta lost on the road to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11.

Arizona trails the Seattle Seahawks by three games in the NFC West standings. The Cardinals are essentially in a win-now mode here in Week 12. Arizona dropped a tough game on the road in Minneapolis to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11.

Atlanta is a four-point favorite over Arizona. Will the Falcons improve to 7-4 on the season or will the Cardinals get back to .500 at 5-5-1 in this NFC game on Sunday at the Georgia Dome?

Three Stars

  1. Matt Ryan: Ryan will need to play well against a team he has had his struggles within the Cardinals. Look for Ryan to complete 63 percent of his passes for 285 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.
  2. Julio Jones: Jones will be Ryan’s favorite receiving target on Sunday, despite Arizona’s strong secondary. Look for him to have nine catches for 145 yards and a touchdown.
  3. David Johnson: Johnson will take advantage of Atlanta’s so-so run defense. Look for him to have 120 rushing yards and a touchdown.
