In the NFC, while we’ve focused intently on the Cowboys’ killer injuries, the bewildering Eagles offense, the Giants’ fourth-quarter collapses, the Seahawks’ Super Bowl hangover, the Saints’ continued unraveling and the Packers’ smooth and efficient start, we might be guilty of all but ignoring the record-setting early work being turned in by the Cardinals through two weeks of the regular season.
But there’s no way Bruce Arians’s first-place, undefeated team can keep its profile this low if its production stays this high. With rookie running back David Johnson setting the tone for a dynamic and diverse offense, the Cardinals have reeled off an impressive list of accomplishments already in beating New Orleans at home and Chicago on the road.
