Higgins' 77.0 run-blocking grade ranks 2nd among NFL tight ends; enables Cardinals' edge runs.

Higgins has the second-best run blocking grade among all NFL tight ends (77.0), which supports Arizona's edge-focused rushing attack. The Cardinals' interior offensive line is not very good, but their tight ends can block effectively, enabling the Cardinals to produce +0.26 EPA/rush outside left tackle (4th) and +0.36 EPA/rush outside right tackle (2nd). This blocking strength is relevant context for how Arizona will attack Detroit's vulnerable perimeter run defense.
