The Arizona Cardinals’ season is taking shape as many expected. A measly 2-5 start leaves Arizona sitting at the bottom of the NFC West. Entering 2026, Arizona had the toughest schedule, but their dysfunctional performances have left fans with no hope. Arizona must love playing against the city of Los Angeles. The Cardinals secured an […]

The Phoenix Suns have moved away from what made Devin Booker and the team successful last season, as Sam Vecenie has painfully and perfectly highlighted.
The Daily Norseman breaks down the broadcast coverage map for this Sunday’s NFC North showdown between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions. Most of the northern U.S., parts of New England, and even Alaska will see the game on FOX, highlighted in red, with the network pitching it as the week’s top matchup by assigning its #1 crew—Kevin Burkhardt and former quarterback Tom Brady. The map also shows overlapping CBS double‑header games, like the Chargers‑Rams, affecting markets such as Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. The article notes other regional pairings (Arizona‑Dallas, Las Vegas‑Jets, Atlanta‑Tampa Bay) and invites comments on the odd market allocations.
Collin Gillespie can help the Suns rediscover their spark from last season, but inserting him into the starting lineup will not fix every problem this team has.
Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 8 fantasy worksheet pits the Arizona Cardinals against the Dallas Cowboys, highlighting a -6.5 spread and a 30.5 implied total. The Cowboys lead the league with 6.9 plays per possession and convert 74.1% of red‑zone trips to touchdowns, while Arizona struggles, ranking last in passing yards allowed (8.5 per attempt) and red‑zone efficiency (42.9%). Dak Prescott is flagged as a high‑upside QB, averaging 24.3 fantasy points in 30‑plus‑point home games, whereas Cardinals starter Jacoby Brissett offers volume‑based upside for streaming. The data‑rich worksheet includes detailed drive, play‑type and efficiency metrics for both teams.
Maxx Crosby cannot keep carrying the Las Vegas Raiders’ pass rush alone. If opposing offenses can neutralize him by throwing extra blockers his way, the Raiders need someone capable of making them pay. Enter Josh Sweat, the Arizona Cardinals’ proven edge rusher and a potentially transformative trade target. Las Vegas has already shown enough early-season […]

In Game 4 of the 2026 World Series, Tampa Bay's Ben Williamson delivers a walk‑off RBI single in the 12th inning, beating the Milwaukee Brewers 5‑4 and pushing the series to a decisive Game 5. Left‑hander Aaron Ashby also makes history, retiring all seven batters he faces and breaking Andrew Miller's postseason scoreless‑innings record for relievers. As the Brewers head back to their hotel, the series finale looms, while Arizona’s offseason chatter heats up with free‑agency speculation and a recap of the Diamondbacks' ten walk‑off wins this season.
The Suns need to undo this dreadful Miles Bridges trade, and getting the Thunder to overpay with picks for some of their role players would be a massive help.
The Dallas Cowboys’ defense, though imperfect, limits the Philadelphia Eagles to 21 points in a 28-21 victory on Oct. 28, 2026. After surrendering two early touchdowns, the unit tightens up, forcing three punts and a crucial interception by DeMarvion Overshown. Key contributors include Overshown (six tackles, one pick), Shemar James (tied for team‑lead in tackles), Quinnen Williams (three TFLs, one sack) and Donovan Ezeiruaku (first full sack). Advanced metrics show the Cowboys posting their best -0.05 EPA/play allowed this season, while the Eagles struggle with a 38.7% success rate. The defense earns a C grade and the Cowboys look ahead to a matchup with the Cardinals.
The Philadelphia Eagles need a jolt, and that’s saying something. Now, few moves would send a stronger message than bringing Josh Sweat back to the City of Brotherly Love. At 2-5, Philadelphia is watching its season unravel. Injuries, defensive breakdowns, and mounting losses are threatening to turn a championship-caliber roster into a cautionary tale. General […]

Phoenix Suns struggle on both ends of the floor without second‑round pick Oso Ighodaro, who is out with an oblique injury. In the 129 minutes he’s missed, the Suns are a –36 point differential, with assist percentage down 6.7% and steal percentage down 8.3%. Ighodaro’s passing, rebounding, switchable defense and rim protection keep the team organized, and his absence has led to defensive confusion and offensive disjointedness. Despite criticism of his shooting, the blog argues his intangibles are vital as Phoenix works to regain stability ahead of the upcoming Denver game.
Bleacher Report analyst Alex Kay says the Buffalo Bills could shock the league by acquiring Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker before the trade deadline. Baker, a 30‑year‑old eight‑time Pro Bowler and four‑time All‑Pro on a $54 million contract, would address Buffalo’s porous secondary, which ranks 30th in scoring defense and allows the league’s second‑most passing yards per game. Kay proposes Buffalo send a 2027 third‑round pick, though the Cardinals may demand more to offset Baker’s $20.9 million 2027 cap hit. The trade would also free up $3 million in dead money for Arizona.
Jerry Jones praises the Cowboys’ running attack after Javonte Williams rushed for over 150 yards against the Eagles—the first 150‑yard game by a Dallas back since 2016. Jones says a run‑first approach opens up the playbook and gets Dak Prescott under center more often. Coach Brian Schottenheimer brushes off media criticism, while rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. describes his “surreal” start in Dallas. Jones also hints that Hall of Famer Troy Aikman could assume a front‑office role. Ahead of Week 8, the Cowboys face a Cardinals run defense that may improve with Jeremiah Love’s return.
Sportsnaut outlines one trade candidate from each AL Central club ahead of the 2027 season. The Guardians may move outfielder Steven Kwan, a .282 hitter with a career‑high 85 walks in 2026, for corner‑outfield help. The White Sox could flip first baseman Munetaka Murakami, who posted a 20‑home‑run half‑season before a post‑injury dip, despite his $17 million 2027 salary. The Twins might part with right‑hander Pablo López, fresh from UCL surgery but fresh off a 2.74 ERA in 2025, to shed his $18.4 million contract. Detroit’s utility man Javier Báez, after a strong 2025 start but inconsistent 2026 production, is also on the chopping block. Potential destinations include the Cubs, Mariners, Padres, Diamondbacks, Mets, Twins, Blue Jays, Giants, and White Sox.
Thunder Shai Gilgeous-Alexander already has two straight MVP awards. The Thunder’s injury report is giving him plenty of opportunities to demonstrate why. Oklahoma City improved to 4-0 with Monday’s win over the Suns, despite losing Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace to injuries that will sideline them for months. Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso are also […]

The Arizona Cardinals, after trading Marv Harrison and placing Jalen Brooks on IR, held workouts for four receivers and a quarterback. They signed veteran wideout Zay Jones, who previously logged 20 catches for 267 yards in 19 games with the team and suffered a season‑ending Achilles tear in 2025. The other participants were QB Jack Plummer, who led the UFL in passing, and receivers James Proche, Xavier Guilloy and Ronnie Bell, all fringe NFL players. With Simi Fehoko stepping into Brooks’ spot, the Cardinals now have a reshaped receiving corps that includes rookie Reggie Virgil and returner Devin Duvernay.
49ers 49ers DE Nick Bosa hoped to return from a calf strain by Week 6 but still hasn’t. Niners HC Kyle Shanahan said Bosa was too optimistic and ended up sore ahead of Week 7. ”I just think he was a little too optimistic, especially for Bosa because he’s pretty accurate,” Shanahan said, via NinersWire.com.

In Week 8, the Dallas Cowboys aim to extend their first recent winning streak under head coach Brian Schottenheimer by taking on a historically dominant Arizona Cardinals at AT&T Stadium. Dallas comes off a Monday night victory over the Eagles, while Arizona is reeling from a loss to the Broncos and poor home attendance despite Larry Fitzgerald’s Hall‑of‑Fame celebration. The Cowboys lead the all‑time series 1‑8 since 2008 and will rely on Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and a bolstered defense featuring Joey Porter Jr. and Christian Parker. A trade rumor linking the Cowboys to Cardinals pass rusher Josh Sweat adds intrigue to the matchup.
The Phoenix Suns' defense has unraveled early in the 2026‑27 season, allowing 123.7 points per game—the fifth most in the league—and posting the worst defensive rating (124.5). In just three games they’ve surrendered 143 points to Portland, 122 to a weakened Golden State squad, and 125 to Oklahoma City, while ranking 29th in perimeter defense (opponents shooting 40.7% from three) and dead‑last in rebounding at 42.9%. Injuries to Booker, Brooks, and Williams may be a factor, but the article argues the issues stem from systemic lapses, with guards penetrating unchecked and the big men arriving too late. The piece warns that without a major defensive fix, Phoenix could repeat last season’s late‑year collapse.
During Denver’s 30‑16 win over Arizona on Oct. 24, longtime Broncos broadcaster Dave Logan highlighted an unprecedented sea of orange in State Farm Stadium’s lower bowl, noting it was the most visiting‑team fan presence he’s ever seen. The sight underscores the Cardinals’ 10‑game home losing streak, even as the franchise honored Larry Fitzgerald with a Hall of Fame ring, Ring of Honor induction, and jersey retirement. The overwhelming Broncos fan turnout raises questions for Arizona ownership about rebuilding fan confidence and restoring a true home atmosphere.
