Cardinals trailed almost the entire second half, including 5 gametime minutes following the Carson Palmer injury (him going down did nothing to discourage my outlook on the game. Ellington & Cards secondary impacts winning or losing more than Palmer or Stanton, Ellington made a huge catch in the third quarter to put them in the red zone which was negated by a Palmer interception. Both defenses were very impressive.
After the John Brown score Austin Davis threw a high pass which was tipped by Britt's one hand where Peterson made a difficult catch and turned it into a touchdown. On the next drive, Antonio Cromartie scored another defensive touchdown which led to the final margin. These two plays is why Shaun Hill was the quarterback against the Broncos instead of Austin Davis.
I can't explain the Minnesota game. Cassell had a solid pre-season outed so maybe it carried over to the Rams game and also Cordarrelle Patterson made some big plays.
I actually watched the Rams-Chiefs game. It was a tale of two halves, the first half was tightly contested 10-7 battle but Kansas City ran away in the second half. Rams entered the game with a depleted secondary and injuries kept mounting in that game.
Cowboys -- I remember Robert Quinn stating Tony Romo doesn't get enough credit for being slippery, as a Cardinals fan who has seen game winning drives from Roethlisberger & Vince Young that also plays in the Kaepernick & Russell Wilson division I know how frustrating slippery QBs are and those sacks shaken off change the game.
31 points given up to the 49ers at home followed by 10 points given up to the same team on the road is a wash.
