Why you can’t take any NFL team lightly

The Arizona Cardinals are probably the worst team in the NFL. They have tons of injuries including QB Kyler Murray, All Pro S Budda Baker and their starting QB is Josh Dobbs, the former Tennessee Volunteer who has played for 8 different NFL teams in his career. It’s clear the Cards are tanking for the Caleb Williams lottery in next year’s draft.

But as bad as the Cards are – and they are really bad – Don’t forget that even a really good team like the Cowboys can take the opponent too lightly and get a bigger fight than expected.

Remember the Hou Texans game last year? We barely beat the second worst team in the league 27-23 and we were playing at home. Remember Texans QB Davis Mills somehow looked good for 3 qtrs and lame Texans WR Chris Moore had 10 receptions for 124 yards and a TD? We were lucky to win that game.

Or how about the 2021 game home loss vs a lousy eventual 7-10 broncos team? We were riding high and confident and they came into AT&T and curb stomped us 30-16, after leading us 30-0. It was humbling.

Last year the lowly broncos embarrassed the 49ers 11-10 in one of the ugliest NFL games ever. The chiefs lost to a horrible colts team last year 20-17…at Arrowhead!

Folks I’m not predicting a loss Sunday in Arizona. In fact I believe Dallas will win and should win easily. But this isn’t Georgia vs Directional State U. You cannot take ANY NFL team lightly. Ever. The Cowboys need to take every opponent seriously even if we as fans don’t.
