Can Arizona Cardinals' Defense Hold Off Green Bay Packers' Offensive Surge?

First Quarter


The Arizona Cardinals faced off against the Green Bay Packers at State Farm Stadium, resulting in a 27-23 outcome in favor of the Packers. This game marked the seventh week of the regular season, bringing the Cardinals to a record of 2-5 and the Packers to 4-1-1. The match was attended by a crowd of 64,810 fans.

Second Quarter


In this quarter, Jacoby Brissett led an impressive passing attack for the Redbirds with a total of 279 yards and two touchdowns. His completion rate stood at an efficient 69 percent. Despite being sacked six times by GB's defense, Brissett managed to keep his composure and connect with Trey McBride for two touchdown passes.


Third Quarter


The Birds' defense showed resilience as Zaven Collins recorded one sack against GB's quarterback. The defensive unit forced three three-and-outs but struggled to contain Green Bay’s offense consistently throughout the game. Akeem Davis-Gaither contributed significantly with eight combined tackles and one forced fumble.


Fourth Quarter


As time wound down, Chad Ryland showcased his kicking prowess by converting all three field goal attempts for Arizona, including a long kick from 40 yards out. However, it was not enough to overcome GB's offensive efforts led by their dynamic playmakers who capitalized on key opportunities.


Despite their best efforts defensively and offensively, Arizona fell short in securing victory over Green Bay. The Arizona Cardinals post-match stats highlighted areas for improvement as they prepare for future contests.


Looking ahead, fans can catch their next matchup when they travel to face Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on November 3rd at 8:15 PM EDT on ABC/ESPN networks.
