Week 10: 3 Ways the Jets Can Beat the Cardinals
The New York Jets are facing a tough test this week as they travel to Arizona to take on the Cardinals. While the Cardinals may not be the powerhouse they were last season, they still pose a significant threat, especially at home. However, the Jets have shown flashes of brilliance this year, and there are a few key areas where they can exploit the Cardinals’ weaknesses to pull off an upset.
1. Dominate the Line of Scrimmage
The Cardinals’ offensive line has been a major weakness this season, struggling to protect quarterback Kyler Murray. The Jets have a talented defensive line featuring the likes of Quinnen Williams, Carl Lawson, and Jermaine Johnson, who can create havoc in the backfield.
If the Jets can get consistent pressure on Murray, they can force him into mistakes and disrupt the Cardinals’ offense. This will also free up the Jets’ secondary, which has been playing well this year.
2. Exploit the Cardinals’ Secondary
The Cardinals’ secondary is a mixed bag, with some talented players but also some vulnerabilities. The Jets’ young wide receivers, Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore, have shown flashes of brilliance this season and have the potential to exploit the Cardinals’ secondary.
If the Jets can get their receivers open against the Cardinals’ secondary, they can put up points and control the tempo of the game. The Jets' offensive line has been surprisingly solid, especially in protecting quarterback Zach Wilson, who has shown improvement in recent weeks.
3. Force Turnovers
The Cardinals have been prone to turnovers this season, especially from Murray. The Jets' defense has done a good job forcing turnovers this year. If they can create turnovers, they can put themselves in a good position to win the game.
The Jets need to capitalize on the Cardinals' weaknesses and limit their own mistakes. If they can do that, they have a real chance to pull off an upset.
Conclusion
The Jets face a tough challenge this week, but they also have the potential to surprise. If they can dominate the line of scrimmage, exploit the Cardinals’ secondary, and force turnovers, they can win this game.
This is a game where the Jets can build momentum and prove they are a legitimate contender in the AFC East. It's going to be an exciting game, and it will be interesting to see if the Jets can pull off the upset.
