AI Recap
AI RECAPIn a commanding performance, the Arizona Cardinals topped the Honolulu Dragons 27-13 in Week 2 of the 2027 season. With both teams looking to establish momentum early in the year, the Cardinals seized control and delivered a decisive victory on the road.
Quarterback Joe Milton was the standout for Arizona, throwing for 319 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his playmaking abilities. Nyck Harbor also shone in the receiving game, racking up 109 yards, proving to be a reliable target for Milton throughout the contest. Meanwhile, the Dragons' Javonte Williams led the ground game with 64 rushing yards but couldn't match the Cardinals' offensive firepower.
Defensively, the Cardinals were bolstered by Budda Baker's interception, which turned the tide in the first half and shifted momentum firmly in Arizona's favor. Jaishawn Barham of the Dragons had a solid day with nine total tackles and 1.5 sacks, but it wasn't enough to contain the Cardinals' prolific offense. Ultimately, the combination of Milton's efficiency and key defensive plays paved the way for Arizona's victory.
