Arizona Cardinals 2020 schedule predictions: Picking every game
By Nick Villano
Weeks 9-12
The Miami Dolphins made a lot of changes over the offseason, and took Tua Tagovailoa to be the quarterback of the future, but they go into this game with Ryan Fitzpatrick as the starting quarterback. He has one of those performances that makes fans hope Tua is coming sooner rather than later.
This becomes a marquee win for the Cardinals. The Buffalo Bills come into this game the favorites for the AFC East crown, and the Cardinals need a win against a good team that isn’t a rival. Josh Allen is staring one of the players that will fight him for stardom in this league, and Kyler Murray clearly came out on top.
Last season, the Cardinals stole a win in Seattle. This season, Pete Carroll’s squad would allow no such upset. The Cardinals offense was frustrated from the start, with three sacks in the first quarter. It seems to get in the head of Murray, who’s tucking the ball and trying to run well before he needs to.
The last time the Cardinals faced the Patriots in Foxborough was way back in 2012. Rob Gronkowski was called for a crucial holding penalty on the Pats go ahead touchdown, and they ended losing to the Cardinals outright. Fast forward eight years later, and the result will be very similar.
