It wasn’t pretty but the Arizona Cardinals came away with the victory over the Indianapolis Colts

Where do we start?  It was a very sloppy game on Sunday with the Arizona Cardinals defeating the Indianapolis Colts 16-13 in overtime.

It is so much easier though to come home with a win than it is a loss.  They don’t ask how pretty were the wins when they tally them all at the end of December.

There is a lot to be concerned about in all phases of the game. They can work on the things they need to this week at 1-1.  They will also have the extra day with the next game being the home opener on Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys.

Things they got away with on Sunday they likely won’t get away with next Monday.  Still, a win is a win in this league.  They are all professionals.

The offense got off to a slow start.  The defense played well for the most part.  The special teams had its moments and almost cost the Cardinals the game in the end but in the end won it for them.

The Cowboys will be a different team than the Colts.  That said, here is what was good, bad and ugly on Sunday against the Colts.
