The New York Jets will hope to add a win to their record in 2024 in Week 10. The team will face the Arizona Cardinals on the road.
As usual, it will never be a walk in the park in the NFL. If the Jets (3-6) expect to beat the Cards (5-4), there will be a few key things New York will have to focus on against Arizona.
It will have to be a full-team effort, make no mistake. But these factors could weigh heavy on whether or not New York leave with a win or loss.
Here are three keys to the Jets pulling out a victory against the Cardinals:
Contain Kyler

The Cardinals have plenty of threats on offense such as running back James Conner and rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. However, the dual-threat that Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray is always the real concern when facing the Cards. The Jets defense has to contain him.
Start fast and clean
(Imagn)
A problem the Jets have had in recent weeks is starting a game slow and penalties are a big reason why that has happened. Many will point toward interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich as the person who has to put his best foot forward to make sure everything goes according to plan in this area.
Give Aaron time

As we’ve seen time and time again, when the Jets’ offensive line gives quarterback Aaron Rodgers time to get the ball out, New York sees successes. Keep Rodgers upright, especially considering the Cardinals just tried to add to their pass rush (Baron Browning) at the 2024 NFL trade deadline.
