Arizona tight ends rarely used

Posted Mar. 06 at 08:08 AM

Over the last two years, the Cardinals have completed more passes than any other team. 810 to be exact.

But at the same time, in those same two years, they’ve completed fewer passes to tight ends than any other team (only 48). Every other team has completed at least 36 more passes to tight ends during that time period. The Cowboys have completed 177 more passes.

The Raiders have completed 99 more passes to tight ends, even while at the same time, their wide receivers have caught 200 fewer passes than Arizona (581 to 181).
