The Cardinals are 15th averaging 353.3 yards per game on offense. The passing attack with 13th picking up 248 yards per game, and they are 17th adding 105.3 yards per game on the ground. Quarterback Kyler Murray is 15th with a 49.0 QBR and has three touchdowns and one interception, and has added 65 yards and a touchdown with his feet as well. The running attack has been balanced with James Conner leading the team with 90 yards but with just three yards per attempt. Conner is questionable for Sunday. The Cardinals are also dealing with other injuries, but the biggest loss they are fighting through is the absence of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who is still serving a six-game suspension.
The Cardinals are 23rd in total defense allowing 383.7 yards per game. Arizona is 11th allowing 102.7 rushing yards per game, but 30th giving up 281 passing yards per contest.
