The Cardinals haven't had any issues with the Falcons recently, as the game was their third consecutive victory against them.

What's more, Curtis racked up 163 passer rating, the most he's had since back in October of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Carson McCall, who rushed for 108 yards and one touchdown on only six carries.
