Williams will have role on offense with tight ends Trey McBride and Stephen Anderson. McBride and Anderson are the only tight ends on the roster.

Cooper will back up Greg Dortch, who returns to the lineup after missing a game with a thumb injury. He could return punts and kicks if the team wants to limit Dortch’s usage in his first game back.

Cardinals’ run game to be key vs. Patriots

The Patriots have allowed more than 130 rushing yards in four of their six losses and the Cardinals are 3-1 when they rushed for 130 or more.

The Arizona Cardinals have had their fair share of offensive struggles this season. When they are at their best, they run the ball well. James Conner gets going and the threat of Kyler Murray’s running along with his actual running help the offense go.

Running the ball well against the New England Patriots this week on Monday night will be key.

The Patriots have allowed over 130 rushing yards in four of their six losses.

The Cardinals are 3-1 when they rush for more than 130. The only loss was  the 25-24 loss they suffered two weeks ago.

James Conner rushed for 125 yards in the loss. The offense looked good for three quarters and they should have won the game.

The Patriots struggled with Bears quarterback Justin Fields and his mobility. He rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots’ loss to the Bears.

If Conner can find positive yards and Murray is able to wreak even a little havoc, the Cardinals will be in position to pick up a win.

Missed kicks loom large in history of Cardinals-Patriots

One could say that the last three games were decided by missed kicks.

The Arizona Cardinals face the New England Patriots Monday night at State Farm Stadium. A number of key factors will determine who wins the game, as naturally is the case.

The Pats have won two straight in the all-time series and lead 8-7 all-time.

But the last three games the two teams have played have come down to a missed field goal, suggesting that perhaps the game could come down to the kicking game.

In 2020, a 20-17 win by the Patriots, Arizona’s Zane Gonzalez missed a potential go-ahead 42-yard field goal with 1:47 left in the game. Making that kick would have give them a 20-17 lead and would have forced the Pats, who had only 179 total yards for the whole game offensively, to march down the field for at least a tie.

The Pats made a 50-yard field goal as time expired after the missed kick.

In 2016, the game came down to a 47-yard field goal by Chandler Catanzaro. Trailing 23-21, Catanzaro missed the field goal and the Cardinals lost the game.

In 2012, the Cardinals won the game 20-18 after Stephen Gostkowski misses a 42-yard field goal with five seconds left in the game.

Will this game come down to a missed kick by either Matt Prater of the Cardinals or Nick Folk?

It wouldn’t be a surprise.
