The bad: The Cardinals still can’t cover opposing tight ends

The Cardinals are beginning to make stars out of anyone at the tight end position.

Arizona has been by far the worst team in the league at defending tight ends. The Cardinals have now allowed a league-high 12 touchdowns, 70 receptions and 846 yards to the tight end position.

San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley helped to add to that total with two touchdowns on the day. Dwelley appeared to almost be uncovered on his touchdowns, and the Cardinals defense looked lost on their assignments in the red zone.

This now marks the third consecutive game that a tight end has scored a touchdown. The Cardinals take on the Los Angeles Rams in two weeks, and Rams tight end Gerald Everett (35 receptions, 385 yards and two touchdowns on the year) could very well see the end zone.
