Cardinals Offense Shines, Defense Struggles | Arizona Cardinals News

The Arizona Cardinals fell short in a nail-biting preseason thriller against the Green Bay Packers, losing 42-38 in the final seconds—but there’s plenty to celebrate and fix. Mike LaFleur’s offense dazzled with over 490 yards and consistent rhythm, proving the unit is primed for the regular season regardless of QB. But pass protection was a disaster—sacks piled up, especially for Kedon Slovis—and special teams gifted Green Bay an 81-yard punt return TD due to chaotic coverage. While the loss stings, the offensive firepower is undeniable. Now it’s time to tighten the trenches and special teams if they want to compete when it matters most.
