File this story under “things that are sure not to come back and bite me” in a few days. Put it right next to the piece from last week on how Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs do not have a Cover-2 problem…
But a major storyline this week is whether the Arizona Cardinals are truly for real, and they have a chance to solidify that case on Thursday night when they host Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Granted, the visitors will be without Davante Adams and Allen Lazard, but this is the kind of resume-building game that can prove to those hesitant that yes, the Cardinals are for real.
However, you can go ahead and make the case in their favor even before Thursday night.
And that is what I am going to do now.
