Who would have thought in August that the Arizona Cardinals would lead the NFC in points allowed as the 2020 NFL Season nears its halfway mark?
Well, after six weeks of the season, the Arizona Cardinals defense sits atop the NFC in points allowed at 112 total. An average of 18.6 points per game. Of course, this number could be lower had the Cardinals not dropped into prevent defense in garbage time against a meager Dallas Cowboys offense on Monday Night Football.
