Week 16 games that matter to the Cardinals, NFC playoff race

The Cardinals could use some help this weekend to both clinch the playoffs and not lose ground.

The Arizona Cardinals did not do their job by losing to the Indianapolis Colts Saturday night 22-16. A win would have earned them a spot in the postseason. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers won their Saturday game and improved to 12-3, guaranteeing at least another week as the No. 1 seed in the conference.

With the games that remain to be played in Week 16, Cardinals fans should pay attention to a few. Particular results will benefit the Cardinals as they struggle to get through this challenging period of the season.

Which games matter and which results are the best for the Cardinals?
