Can the Arizona Cardinals Soar Above the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field?

As the Arizona Cardinals prepare to face off against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on December 31st, fans are left pondering whether their team can pull off a win in this challenging away game. The Cardinals' recent performances have been less than stellar, with a particularly disappointing showing against the Chicago Bears on December 24th, where they lost 27-16. Despite putting up a fight with an average of 5 yards per rush and a commendable punting performance that included a longest punt of 77 yards and an average net yardage of 47, it wasn't enough to secure victory.

The defense managed to sack their opponents once and defended six passes but failed to capitalize on these opportunities. On offense, they had two passing touchdowns and completed one field goal from beyond 50 yards; however, they only converted seven out of sixteen third-down attempts. This lackluster execution has been symptomatic of ARI's season thus far.

Comparatively, in their game against San Francisco on December 17th at State Farm Stadium, ARI showed more promise despite losing with a scoreline of 45-29. They achieved an impressive rushing total of 234 yards that included two touchdowns – one being an explosive longest run for a touchdown covering half the field at 49 yards. Their red zone efficiency was notable as well; they succeeded in two out of three attempts which is roughly sixty-seven percent success rate.

However, it was not all doom and gloom for ARI when looking back at their performance against Pittsburgh Steelers on December 3rd where they emerged victorious with a scoreline of 24-10. Their defense forced three-and-outs thrice and stopped their opponents once on fourth down while recovering one fumble as well – showcasing some resilience that could be pivotal if replicated against PHI.

The upcoming match-up will require ARI to channel this defensive tenacity while improving upon their offensive consistency if they wish to upset PHI in front of their home crowd. The Eagles will not make it easy; having demonstrated strong form throughout the season thus far.

Fans should expect ARI's strategy to involve heavy utilization of rushing plays which have proven effective for them previously while also tightening up defensively by reducing missed tackles and increasing quarterback pressure through sacks or hurries – areas where there is room for improvement based on past performances.

With kickoff scheduled for New Year's Eve at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia (1:00 PM Eastern Time), Cardinals fans can catch all the action live on FOX network. It promises to be an intriguing encounter as we wait to see whether ARI can end their year – and possibly turn around what has been quite frankly a disappointing season – with an unexpected triumph over PHI.
