Last chance for Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals have been in control of their division for most of the year, and that is without a running game. Sunday is the last chance for the Cardinals to get it going before the playoffs.
The Arizona Cardinals running attack is the worst in the league averaging barely over 71 yards a game. Thanks to the performance of quarterback Kurt Warner they are in the playoffs.
There is one common theme when it comes to the playoffs. That being teams that make it to the Superbowl are able to run the ball, and stop the run. The exception is when a team with such a great offense comes along like the Patriots last year.
The Cardinals are out of that mold as their running game is week, solid defense, and a great passing attack.
However, there are two other teams with great running attacks, and great defenses in the New York Giants, and the Carolina Panthers.
So, if they are going to get the running game going consistently it needs to be this weekend, because the playoffs start next week. When they start it is win and go on, or lose and go home. If they do not find it this week it will be most likely lose, and go home next week.
