The Cardinals host the Falcons in Week 16. Let’s see who Atlanta faces before and after that game

The NFL released its full 2025 regular-season schedule. We know the Arizona Cardinals’ schedule.

What we don’t readily know are their opponents’ schedules. In particular, it is good to know the teams their opponents play before and after their game against the Cardinals.

The Cardinals will play the Atlanta Falcons at State Farm Stadium in Week 16.

Let’s have a look at the Falcons’ schedule and who they play before and after taking on the Cardinals.

This is the first game of the season where the Cardinals play someone coming off extra rest. The Falcons face the Buccaneers in Week 15 on Thursday night.

The Cardinals will have played the Houston Texans in Week 15 at home, so the Falcons will be coming off a mini-bye.

The Falcons will then play the Rams in Week 17 on Monday night, while the Cardinals will play the Cincinnati Bengals, perhaps on Saturday.
