In Week 7 the Las Vegas Raiders fell to 3‑4, seeing their playoff chances dwindle as they endure a fourth straight loss. Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos bounced back with a 30‑16 victory over the Cardinals, highlighted by QB Bo Nix’s 62‑yard rushing TD and a strong defensive showing from LB Alex Singleton. The win narrows Denver’s gap with the Kansas City Chiefs, who suffered their first loss of the season, falling 20‑3 to Seattle as Patrick Mahomes posted modest numbers and was held to a single interception. The AFC West now stands with Kansas City at 5‑1, Denver 5‑2, Raiders 3‑4, and the Chargers 0‑6, setting up a pivotal Broncos‑Chiefs clash next week.

Their last home victory came on September 14, 2025, a 27-22 win over the Carolina Panthers, and they haven’t reached the playoffs since 2021, with their last playoff win in 2016. Attendance remains high, but victories at home remain elusive.

Despite missing key defenders like Myles Garrett and Poona Ford (out for the year), the defense limited Vegas to 42 rushing yards.

The next three matchups against the Chargers, Commanders and Cardinals are crucial for keeping playoff hopes alive.
What do Arizona Sports hosts have to say about the Cardinals' loss to the Broncos?
The Arizona Cardinals fell 30-16 to the Denver Broncos on Oct. 25, 2026, unable to reach the end zone despite moving the ball all game. Tight end Trey McBride led the offense with 10 catches for 11 yards and a TD, while kicker Chad Ryland supplied nine points. Defensive standouts included LB Jack Gibbens (seven tackles) and Darius Robinson (the game's sole sack). The Cardinals’ woes stem from a stagnant rushing attack (eight carries for 19 yards), underused receivers Michael Wilson and Kendrick Bourne, and a lack of pass rush pressure. The loss highlights the team's ongoing red‑zone inefficiency and injury setbacks.

The Arizona Cardinals honored Larry Fitzgerald with a Ring of Honor induction and retired his No. 11 jersey on Oct. 25, 2026, but their celebration is marred by a 30‑16 loss to the Denver Broncos at State Farm Stadium. Denver struck big with a 62‑yard Bo Nix rush and a 52‑yard R.J. Harvey screen TD, tying their season‑high points and posting their second‑most yardage. Arizona managed only 16 points, with Trey McBride’s lone TD and Bam Knight’s seven‑yard carries, while the red‑zone offense fell to 1‑5. The Cardinals fall to 12‑28 on the season, a stark contrast to the night’s tribute to Fitzgerald.
A new NFL Stadium Scare Index from Casino Guru ranks State Farm Stadium as the league's least intimidating venue, placing the Arizona Cardinals at the bottom of the list (27.8 points, 32nd of 32). Over the 2021‑25 period, visiting teams win 68.3% of games in Glendale and score a league‑high 25.9 points per contest, while quarterbacks face just 1.80 sacks per game. The Cardinals’ home woes continue with losses to Seattle, Detroit and Denver, extending a 10‑game home losing streak. The data underscores Arizona’s weak home‑field advantage this season.
