Cardinals struggle in lopsided loss to Broncos in Week 7 matchup
Summary

On October 25, 2026, the Arizona Cardinals faced a tough challenge in a 30-16 loss to the Denver Broncos at State Farm Stadium. The game marked a regression for the Cardinals, who had previously secured an 18-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Despite a promising defensive effort early on, Arizona's lack of execution in the red zone, including only one touchdown on five drives inside Denver's 20, contributed heavily to the defeat. Denver's offense improved, gaining 377 total yards, with quarterback Bo Nix leading the way. Following this setback, the Cardinals now hold a 2-5 record as they prepare for their next game against the Dallas Cowboys.
