Cardinals-Patriots preview: Week 12 matchup is pivotal to keep up in NFC West

Thursday Night Football was…disappointing.

Had they won that game, the Arizona Cardinals would have been in the driver seat to control their own destiny for the NFC West title. With the loss, they are a win behind both the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks.

In the span of eight days, the NFC West had three different first-place holders. The Cardinals held that spot after beating Buffalo and following Seattle’s loss to the Rams. After Thursday Night Football, the Seahawks held first, but lost is upon L.A.’s victory over the Bucs on MNF.

The point here, is the NFC West is still up for grabs. Yes, the Seahawks have an incredibly easy schedule, so they will require at least one loss for the Cards to take their place

Arizona must focus on themselves this Sunday as they go up against one of the greatest coaches in NFL history, Bill Belichick.
