The Arizona Cardinals are one of two undefeated teams left in the NFL. And no, the Denver Broncos (2-1) aren't the other. Both teams are coming off byes, though, which means a rested Peyton Manning will be going up against a fresh -- and stout -- Arizona defense Sunday.

The undefeated Cardinals look to take down another good team, as they travel to Denver on Sunday to face Peyton Manning and the Broncos.

The matchup offers a great opportunity to really see what the Cardinals are made of. They've beaten three good teams (the Chargers, Giants and 49ers) and are riding high on the league's fifth-ranked defense, but the Broncos at home are a different animal. The Cardinals are without starting quarterback Carson Palmer, but Drew Stanton has filled in well enough. He has completed just 51.6 percent of his passes, but has yet to commit a turnover.
As long as Palmer is out, the Cardinals will have to rely even more on running back Andre Ellington. Despite a nagging foot injury, Ellington has put up decent numbers and remains a threat in the passing game.
The Broncos haven't been running the ball well this season, and the Cardinals pride themselves on stopping the rush, so it might be up to Peyton Manning to get Denver through this one. No problem -- all he has to do is find Emmanuel Sanders, who leads the team with 25 catches for 334 yards.
Defensively, Denver ranks 27th in total defense, allowing 390.7 yards per game. But history is on the Broncos’ side -- they are 7-1-1 against Arizona, while the Cardinals are 0-4 in Denver, outscored 106-32.
