The Cardinals will fight the Colts for the top in the NFC West.
Arizona tied for the first time 10-4 with the Rams. The Cardinals will be challenged to stop running back to Jonathan Taylor, who continues to point out the Colts’ offense.
The Cardinals will be looking to fix a two-game losing streak following losses to the Rams and Lions. In Arizona’s 30-12 loss to Detroit last week, Kyler Murray completed 23 passes from 257 yards with one touchdown and one intercept. He has made six interceptions in his last five games.
Taylor will keep the heat in Arizona. In the Colts’ 27-17 win over the Patriots in Indianapolis, Taylor made 29 170 yards and one touchdown. He also dashed 143 yards with two points in the Colts’ 31-0 loss to Texas. Defender Carson Wentz, who threw two interceptions last week, will likely rely on Taylor to lead the Colts offense.
