Cardinals Keep Playoff Hopes Alive with Win Over Patriots

Arizona snaps three-game losing streak with a strong defensive showing and James Conner's two-touchdown performance.

The Arizona Cardinals defeated the New England Patriots 30-17, improving their record to 7-7 and remaining in the NFC playoff race.
Running back James Conner led the Cardinals with 110 rushing yards and two touchdowns, including a critical 1-yard score in the fourth quarter.
Arizona's defense excelled despite losing two starting linebackers early, limiting New England to just 311 total yards and forcing key stops in the red zone.
Quarterback Kyler Murray completed 23 of 30 passes for 224 yards, though his decision-making under pressure remains a concern after a negated interception.
The Cardinals need to win their remaining games and rely on Seattle losing three of their final four to secure a playoff spot.
