Technically, they can. At 8-2, they'd still be in the lead. Who is going to take that BYE from them? Brock Osweiler's fading Broncos?
While I'll admit that they're running out of cushion and they need to bounce back for their confidence, I don't see how the Cards game is an absolute must win in order to get a BYE.
Now if we're talking home field throughout? Absolutely this is a must win.
