Arizona Cardinals Defense

✦ Blitz AI

The Arizona Cardinals defense rates 3.2 out of 100, ranked 31st at the position, after dropping 6.4 points from its previous calculation. The collapse is driven by catastrophic performance in points allowed per game (6th percentile) and efficiency allowed (12th percentile), meaning opponents are scoring heavily and gaining yards efficiently against this unit. While the Cardinals rank 44th percentile in takeaways and 24th percentile in sacks per game, these modest contributions cannot offset the defensive bleeding in the two areas that matter most for fantasy scoring. The rating incorporates a blend with the 2025 season (which itself rated poorly at 12.9), with the current five-game sample carrying 40 percent of the weight, so even the stabilizing baseline cannot rescue a defense that is fundamentally struggling to prevent both yardage and points.
