Is it possible for the Cardinals to defeat the Chicago Bears on the road?

The Arizona Cardinals, who outgained the San Francisco 49ers, lost to them recently.

And they had a pretty weak defense.

While none of those findings are shocking, there are a few to be aware of and, ideally, build upon.

Can the Chicago Bears win their upcoming Christmas Eve game, which is probably their final win of the season?

Are you confident in the team’s direction, too, given the team’s recent performances—which included a tight end and running game that was almost excellent—and the realization that the wide receiver room is a need that can be filled?

What They’re Saying About Cardinals in Week 16 Power Rankings

Approaching Week 16, the media and the Arizona Cardinals are both focused on the future.

Arizona — After finishing the season with a 3-11 record, the Arizona Cardinals were eliminated by the San Francisco 49ers, meaning that their postseason hopes are officially over.

What the national media is saying about the team in the power rankings for Week 16 is as follows:

CBS: Position 25

“We’ll see in 2024, but it’s still unclear if Kyler Murray will start at center. I believe it will be.

The Sportsman: Position 29

“This group of players is precisely what we anticipated. Arizona appeared to have some bravery in the Week 3 victory over Dallas, but since then, their only victories have come against the struggling Falcons and Steelers. The Cardinals are now in the running to draft one of the top two quarterbacks in the league, which is where they wanted to be.”

Report on Bleachers: No. 29

“The season has ended for several weeks now. The Cardinals would currently select third in the 2024 NFL draft. The team really doesn’t need to blow that selection.

Having said that, the team will have to respond to some extremely important queries in the coming weeks. After such a disappointing season this year, does Gannon deserve another chance as head coach? The Cardinals recently gave Kyler Murray a $230 million extension; do they now have the gall to draft a quarterback?

“This season in the desert has not been easy. However, there will be plenty of drama during the offseason and few dull days.”

No. 30 in Sports Illustrated

“The Cardinals heaved the best of themselves against the 49ers in this one and came up short. They are now selecting third in the NFL draft, behind the Patriots and Bears. I am leaning toward keeping Murray and giving him the best receiver prospect we’ve seen in a long time. Under slightly better circumstances this is a fringe playoff team.”

Talk Pro Football: No. 29

“Not every team can say they haven’t quit,”

ESPN: Position 29

“The Cardinals are giving up opponents to complete 69.6% of their passes, which is tied for the highest percentage in the league with Minnesota.” It is the result of a secondary full of inexperienced, youthful cornerbacks who have turned into easy pickings for quarterbacks on the other team.”

In Week 16, the Cardinals take on the Chicago Bears.
