If it weren’t taking place as a part of Monday Night Football, casual NFL fans wouldn’t pay a lot of attention to the Arizona Cardinals vs. New York Jets match-up unless they happened to have Carson Palmer or Matt Forte on their fantasy football team. Last Thursday, the Cardinals earned their second win of the season after defeating the San Francisco 49ers 33-21. Two days later, the Pittsburgh Steelers had their way with the New York Jets, defeating them 31-13 at Heinz Field. As both the Jets and Cardinals got off to a rough start this season, one team will get a chance to use the momentum from Week 6 to turn things around before 2016 is a lost cause.
