Larry Fitzgerald

It was all about Fitz on Sunday evening. He grabbed touchdown numbers 99 and 100 for his career against the Patriots.

In the Cardinals final drive, he was catching everything. He ended up with eight receptions for 81 yards and the two touchdowns for the evening.

Not too bad for a guy that was reported by national media to be retiring at the end of the season. That by the way is all rumor. No one locally reported that.

Even if he is considering retirement, he showed he is nowhere playing like a receiver that needs to retire. At 33, he looked more like 23 on Sunday.

Fitz was being vintage Fitz. He made some amazing grabs, including his over the shoulder sliding touchdown on his 100th.

Next: The bad

It did seem like it was a concerted effort to get Fitz the ball on Sunday night. He was targeted 10 times in all. The only other receiver to come close to that was Michael Floyd with seven targets.
