Cardinals Struggle as Falcons Capitalize on Defensive Weaknesses

In a recent matchup, the Arizona Cardinals faced significant challenges, particularly on the defensive side, as they suffered a loss to the Atlanta Falcons. According to Revenge of the Birds, the Cardinals' defense struggled to contain Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, contributing to their downfall.

Although the Cardinals had a more efficient run game, averaging 5.9 yards per carry in the first half, they fell apart offensively in the second half, managing only seven carries for 37 yards. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett's performance was disappointing, culminating in an interception during a crucial moment that sealed the Cardinals' fate.

The game, initially tied at 16-16 at halftime, showcased a stark contrast between the two teams' second-half performances, with the Cardinals reverting to a heavy passing strategy that did not pay off.

This matchup highlighted the Cardinals' ongoing struggles this season, as they now sit at 3-11, while the Falcons improved to 5-9, taking advantage of the Cardinals' defensive weaknesses and the failure to capitalize on promising offensive opportunities.
