The Washington Football Team is taking on the Arizona Cardinals in a Week 2 matchup of undefeated teams.

In wake of the Washington Football Team’s win over the Philadelphia Eagles, there is a lot of optimism surrounding the team. And there should be. After all, they did erase a 17-point deficit to win by 10 while watching their elite defensive line absolutely dominate the Eagles front and take over the game.

With the team sitting at 1-0, they will look to keep their winning ways going in Week 2. But it won’t be easy. Washington will travel west to take on the Arizona Cardinals, another 1-0 team, and the Cardinals could be a tougher matchup for Washington.

In his second season as a head coach, Kliff Kingsbury has helped to completely overhaul the Cardinals offense. Just two years ago, the unit looked like it was going to be led by Josh Rosen, David Johnson, and a solid receiving corps. Now, it’s Kyler Murray, Kenyan Drake, and an elite receiving corps featuring DeAndre Hopkins.

The Cardinals have quite a few quality players on offense and their defense is improving. Just how tough of a matchup will they be for Washington? And is there any weakness that Washington can exploit? Definitely, but it won’t be easy.

Here’s a look at a full preview for Washington’s matchup against the Cardinals including the best matchups to watch and a score prediction.
