Fresh off a statement win against the LA Rams, the Arizona Cardinals are looking like legit Super Bowl contenders after going undefeated through the first four weeks of the season. Kyler Murray and the Cardinals offense have been firing on all cylinders after scoring over 30 points through the first four games of their 2021 campaign.
Their defense has also been huge for them coming up with some big stops during pivotal moments throughout the season. Having gotten off to a strong start early on, the Cardinals are looking to stick to their winning ways and come up with another victory against the San Francisco 49ers next Sunday. With all this going for Arizona, let's now take a look at the three biggest takeaways from their dominant win against the Rams on Sunday.
The Cardinals have the most well-balanced offense in the league
Between Murray, Chase Edmonds, James Conner, DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green, Maxx Williams, and Rondale Moore, the Cardinals have put together the most versatile offense in the NFL. This is especially true after they lit up the scoreboard against a deep and talented LA Rams squad on Sunday.
With Murray under center for them, this offense seems merely unstoppable and is bound to continually get better as the season progresses. Currently sitting atop the NFC West and ready for another high scoring affair, the Cardinals offense will be an absolute hand full for the struggling 49ers next Sunday.
Their defense has been clutch for them all season
Jordan Hicks, Budda Baker, and Byron Murphy led the charge for the Cards defense during Sunday's divisional match-up against the Rams. With 14 tackles and an interception between them, it goes without saying that they made things difficult for LA's high-powered offense that struggled immensely in Week 4.
Marco Wilson, Jalen Thompson, and Isaiah Simmons have also been huge for the Cardinals and came up with some big stops for them on Sunday. Looking to keep their momentum and stay atop the NFC West, Arizona will be bringing their A-game on defense next weekend against the 49ers and will look to stay undefeated with another divisional win.
The Cardinals are the best team in the NFC
It might be premature seeing as we're only four weeks into the season, but after the way they completely dismantled the Rams on the road this past Sunday, the Cardinals are shaping up to be the most complete team in the NFC and have made their case as the team to beat in the NFC West. With the Bucs' recent struggles, the Rams falling to Arizona in Week 4, and the Packers still being something of a question mark, the Cardinals are looking like the best team in the conference.
Currently sitting atop the most competitive division in the NFL, the Arizona Cardinals have elevated their play and taken the league by complete surprise with their stellar play early into the season. Looking to come away with another big win next weekend, they will be ready for whatever challenges come their way in Week 5.
