The Arizona Cardinals play on Sunday on the road against the Seattle Seahawks. They hope to snap their three-game losing streak and pick up their first road win of the year.
In this game, our eyes will be on a few players in particular.
Who and why?
We explain it below.

QB Josh Dobbs
After three straight games with a passer rating of 99 or higher, he has been under 60 the last two weeks and has turned the ball over five times. He has missed open receivers. He might be looking at his last start, so all eyes are on him.
CB Garrett Williams
Williams is making his NFL debut. Keep an eye on him because we don’t know exactly what his role will be on defense, especially with Jalen Thompson and Antonio Hamilton out. He could get significant playing time outside or in the slot, or he might be their sixth defensive back.
S Budda Baker
Baker is playing for the first time since Week 1 when he injured his hamstring. His presence has been missed. We can’t wait to see his heat-seeking missle play, especially playing in from of his old stomping grounds in Seattle.
RB Keaontay Ingram
Ingram won’t be expected to do everything that James Conner does, but he has the trust of Jonathan Gannon. He had his first start last week.
If the Cardinals are going to have any success at all, he needs to set the tone offensively, especially against a Seattle team that is good against the run but is becoming one of the best secondaries in the league.
OL Dennis Daley
Daley will get the start at left guard with Elijah Wilkinson out with a neck injury. It is the first time a starting lineman has been out. Wilkinson has been the weak link in the line this season. Can Daley, who started for the Titans last season at left tackle, be an improvement?
