The Arizona Cardinals will look to capitalize off of a dominating performance against a solid Tennessee Titans team when they host the Minnesota Vikings next week.

The Cardinals beat the Titans in a dominant display from both sides of the ball. Quarterback Kyler Murray threw for 289 yards and four touchdowns while completing 21 of 32 passes. The former No. 1 overall pick added a touchdown from the ground as well.

The defense got to Titans QB Ryan Tannehill six times, including five sacks alone by outside linebacker Chandler Jones.

The Titans are back-to-back AFC South champions and most recently made the AFC Championship Game in the 2019-2020 NFL season, so it's an auspicious sign for an Arizona team that has emerged as a legitimate playoff contender.

The Vikings struggled against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1 and it took a furious second half comeback to push the game into overtime, where they lost after a last-second field goal.

Minnesota's secondary struggled mightily, the offense committed 12 penalties for 116 yards — including four penalties in their first eight plays — and running back Dalvin Cook's fumble in OT set up the Bengals' chip shot, game-winning field goal.
