The Arizona Cardinals were mostly good Monday night but left with some things still to work on

The Arizona Cardinals left University of Phoenix Stadium with a 28-3 victory over the New York Jets on Monday night.  In the end, that’s all that really matters.

However, in this edition of good, bad, and ugly, there was a little of all three in the game Monday night.  There was mostly good though and that is a definite turn from just a couple of weeks ago.

The Cardinals made mistakes but they were ones that didn’t cost them Monday night.  In the upcoming games though, some of those mistakes could certainly cost them.

It is nice though to be coming off a game where it is easier to find the good rather than the bad or ugly.  It will never be all good.  It will never be all bad, although the Cardinals came close in Buffalo. What it will be is the Cardinals will continue to work on things.

They still aren’t the same team they were in 2015 but the team that showed up Monday night certainly was the closest thing to it.  It is definitely great to be able to say that heading into a week facing the Seattle Seahawks in the face.
