Cardinals Know Tough Sledding is Ahead
Both Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett and HC Jonathan Gannon understand one of the best teams in the league will be here on Sunday.
“Tough. Obviously, (they are) one of the better teams in the NFL offensively and defensively. Really good players, good scheme, good coaches," Brissett told reporters.
"Divisional opponent -- those are always the toughest. We have our hands full, but we’re excited for this opportunity and going out there to try to get a win.”
The Rams have won their last three-of-four against the Cardinals.
"Obviously a really good football team coming in here. Tied for the best record in the NFC. Like I talked about, really well coached team. They've got really good players and they're playing well," Gannon added earlier this week.
"They control the double positive, that's why they're 9-3. We got our work cut out for us. Excited about the challenge. Let's go to work.”
