The Arizona Cardinals Defense has been one of the league’s fastest-rising units in season-long formats this season, primarily on the back of the 11 sacks that the team compiled in its first three games.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar (knee) and safety Jamal Adams (groin) could both be back in the mix for Sunday’s contest versus Minnesota, although head coach Pete Carroll made it apparent that they’ll need to continue progressing throughout the week.
