When I first encountered 21-year-old Dilan Pinzón back in April, he was sitting on the sidelines of a soccer field in Oakland, California, clad in cleats and a blue jersey, pondering his team’s fate.

There are few questions about the Arizona Cardinals actually winning games from here on out. They will be underdogs in all of them, but this upcoming week is especially a problem for the Cardinals. Their defense was as bad as expected against a great Rams offense, but their offense was not good in the game, once again only scoring 17 points.

After what the Texans just did to the Kansas City Chiefs, in Kansas City, I have a hard time seeing the Arizona Cardinals being within nine points. The Texans defense is the best in the NFL, and they held the Chiefs offense into three turnovers and held them well under 300 yards of total offense. This could be a nightmare scenario for the Arizona Cardinals.
