Cardinals vs. Broncos: Week 7 keys to victory

The Arizona Cardinals have not secured two consecutive victories since commencing last season with a 2-0 record. They stand a chance to claim their second straight win today against the Denver Broncos. To achieve this, specific factors must transpire, outlining the Cardinals' Week 7 pathway to victory.

Repeating the defense's performance is crucial. The Cardinals' defense had their best game of the year last week against the LA Rams, a stark contrast to their recent struggles. With Denver's offense facing difficulties this season, Nicks Rallis and his players must replicate last week's defensive effectiveness against the Broncos. Their primary focus must be on preventing Bo Nix from orchestrating late-game plays, considering he has led game-winning drives in all four of Denver's victories this season.

Another pivotal aspect is rectifying the red-zone issues. During Week 6, the Cardinals managed to score six field goals and emerged victorious. However, they cannot afford another zero in the red zone. Avoiding turnovers is paramount, given that Jacoby Brissett has thrown five interceptions in his last three games, with at least one occurrence in three straight games. The Broncos have managed to force 10 turnovers this season and have already forced three in each of their last two games.
