State Farm Stadium Clash: Arizona Cardinals Fall Short Against Philadelphia Eagles
The Arizona Cardinals, with a season record of 4-13, hosted the Philadelphia Eagles, who came into the game with an impressive 14-3 record. In a closely contested match at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, the final score read 20-17 in favor of the visiting team.
The Cardinals put up a resilient fight against their opponents. The home team's defense managed to sack the Eagles' quarterback twice and recorded six tackles for loss among their total of 77 combined tackles. Despite these efforts, they could not secure any interceptions or force any fumbles throughout the game.
Arizona's offense had moments of effectiveness as well. The passing game accumulated 250 yards through the air with a completion percentage of roughly 67 percent and one touchdown pass that connected for a significant gain of 25 yards. However, they also suffered one interception and were only able to convert half of their red zone opportunities into scores.
On the ground, the Cardinals rushed for a total of 124 yards on 26 attempts which included one rushing touchdown. This effort was highlighted by an impressive longest run that spanned for 17 yards and resulted in an average rush yardage close to five per carry.
Special teams also contributed to Arizona's performance; they executed punts that averaged nearly fifty yards each, placing two within the opponent's twenty-yard line while maintaining net punting yardage at approximately forty-four per attempt.
Despite these solid statistics across various aspects of play – including achieving eight successful conversions out of fourteen third-down attempts – it was not enough to overcome their rivals on this occasion.
