The Arizona Cardinals are one step closer to making the playoffs after defeating the New England Patriots 30-17 at State Farm Stadium. The team’s win broke a three-game losing streak and kept their postseason hopes alive, as the Seahawks lost to the Packers on Sunday night.
Quarterback Kyler Murray had an efficient game, completing 23-of-30 passes for 224 yards without a turnover. James Conner led the way with a dominant performance, rushing for 110 yards and two touchdowns. Trey McBride caught nine passes for 87 yards, while the defense made big plays, including a goal-line stand and Sean Murphy-Bunting’s interception that sealed the win.
Conner scored both his touchdowns in the fourth quarter, helping to secure a crucial victory for the Cardinals. The team will need to stay healthy with injuries to linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. and third-down back Emari Demercado, but Conner’s performance suggests he can carry the load. “It was a fun day out there today,” Conner said.
The win marked an important turning point in the season, as the Cardinals moved into contention for a playoff spot. With their next game against the Panthers coming up, the team will look to build on this momentum and keep their postseason hopes alive.
