NRG Stadium Showdown: Arizona Cardinals to Face Houston Texans
As the Arizona Cardinals prepare to face off against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium, fans are eager to see if the team can build on their recent performance. The Cardinals have shown a mixed bag of results in their last three games, with a narrow victory over the Falcons (25-23), a tough shutout loss to the Browns (27-0), and a close defeat by the Ravens (31-24).
The win against Atlanta showcased some promising aspects, particularly in special teams where they achieved 100 percent field goal accuracy including two from beyond 50 yards. Their defense managed three sacks and forced four three-and-outs, indicating potential for disrupting Houston's offense.
However, consistency remains an issue. The shutout loss to Cleveland highlighted vulnerabilities as they allowed seven sacks and turned over the ball three times. Moreover, their third-down efficiency was just eight percent – an area that needs significant improvement.
Against Baltimore, while still ending up on the losing side, there were signs of offensive life with two passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown contributing to their 24 points. Red zone efficiency was perfect with all attempts converted into scores.
The upcoming game at NRG Stadium presents an opportunity for redemption and progress. Playing away from home will test their adaptability and mental toughness – factors that could influence this encounter's outcome.
Fans should look out for how well Arizona can protect their quarterback after allowing nine sacks across two games and whether they can capitalize on scoring opportunities when presented. Defensive resilience will also be crucial in containing Houston's attack.
The game is scheduled for November 19th at 18:00 GMT at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. Fans can catch all the action live on CBS network as both teams battle it out on Texan turf.
