AI Recap
AI RECAPIn a stunning display of offensive firepower, the Arizona Cardinals cruised to a decisive 63-21 victory over the Washington Commanders in Week 12 of the 2026 season. With playoff implications on the line, Arizona solidified its position as a contender, showcasing an explosive performance that left no doubt about their capabilities.
Cardinals quarterback Joe Milton put on a show, racking up an astounding 654 passing yards and throwing eight touchdown passes, a remarkable feat that will be talked about for weeks to come. Trey McBride was his favorite target, hauling in an impressive 290 receiving yards, consistently breaking open against the Commanders' secondary. Meanwhile, Washington's Kaytron Allen managed only 55 rushing yards, struggling to find any rhythm on the ground.
Defensively, the Cardinals were just as dominant, with Decamerion Richardson leading the way with five total tackles. Malachi Lawrence wreaked havoc on the Commanders' offensive line, recording 2.5 sacks that disrupted any semblance of a passing game. The turning point came late in the first half when Jaishawn Barham intercepted a pass, setting up another quick touchdown that pushed Arizona's lead to an insurmountable margin.
