Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs lead the Lions’ offensive romp in a 45-21 win over the Cardinals

Arizona's week came to an end with a significant setback. The Cardinals concluded their bizarre week by trading receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and facing a crushing defeat against the Detroit Lions. Harrison, the son of former Indianapolis Colts Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison, was once considered a top prospect out of Ohio State but failed to meet expectations with the Cardinals.

The team sent him and a 2027 seventh-round draft pick to the Texans for two 2027 draft picks. This move came after the Cardinals had struggled with early-round draft busts, including Josh Rosen, Isaiah Simmons, and Robert Nkemdiche. The Lions' 45-21 victory marked the Cardinals' fourth consecutive loss and highlighted their defensive struggles, as they allowed a 24-point margin in the second half.

Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur acknowledged the need for improvement, stating that a team's performance is judged by its recent games.
