The Arizona Cardinals take on the New Orleans Saints this weekend on the row in a matchup of two teams on winning streaks. The Cardinals have won three straight. The Saints have won five consecutive ballgames and have done it without quarterback Drew Brees.
What are some things to note about the teams as they prepare for one another?
As shown in the above video, the Saints have not allowed more than 257 yards of offense in the last four weeks. They are eighth in the league, allowing opponents to convert on only 34.7 percent of their third-down plays.
The Cardinals, who allowed 20 sacks in the first four games of the season, has only allowed three in the last three games. The Saints are fifth in the league with 20 sacks defensively.
The analysts believe one of the keys for the Cardinals will be to have quarterback Kyler Murray run more than he has in past weeks.
Both Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks predict a Saints win.
