Arizona Cardinals: The good, the bad, the ugly
By Scott Allen
The good
As bad as this game was, it is hard to start with the good but since this piece covers it all, we start there. There were a couple of good things to happen on Sunday for the Cardinals.
Kicker Chandler Catanzaro hit a 60-yard field goal. A lot of fans harped on his missed potential game-winner two weeks ago against the New England Patriots. This kick was a no-doubter.
What makes the kick even more amazing is the fact the Cardinals passed on having him try a 54-yarder in the fourth quarter.
Running back David Johnson had a decent day, despite starting off really slow. He couldn’t find any holes early. However he finished with 83 yards on 19 carries. He scored two touchdowns on Sunday.
Also, a late safety by the Cardinals showed they were finally interested in getting something done. It was too little too late though. We needed more of that fire in the first half.
