The Arizona Cardinals decisively topped the Detroit Lions 38-7 in a Week 5 showdown of the 2026 season. With this victory, the Cardinals solidify their position in the playoff race, showcasing a dominant performance at home against a struggling Lions squad.
Leading the charge for Arizona was quarterback Kyler Murray, who threw for 253 yards and three touchdowns, displaying precision and poise throughout the game. DeAndre Hopkins was his primary target, racking up 122 receiving yards and consistently finding separation from defenders, while the ground game effectively complemented the aerial attack.
Defensively, the Cardinals were bolstered by Budda Baker's interception, which shifted momentum in their favor early in the contest. Despite the Lions' Leonard Fournette rushing for 100 yards, the Cardinals' defense held strong, with Jamie Collins contributing 2.5 sacks, disrupting Detroit's offensive rhythm. The turning point came when Baker's interception led to a quick touchdown, allowing Arizona to establish a lead they would not relinquish.
