The Arizona Cardinals defeated the Indianapolis Colts 16-13 in overtime on Sunday

There is a lot to work on after the Arizona Cardinals defeated the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. That being said, it is so much easier to work on things after a win.

That leaves us to talk about five players who saw their stock rise on Sunday after good performances. Amazing to say that despite the slow start on both offense and defense.

We spent so much time and energy talking about the things that went wrong, again in victory, instead of talking about the things that went right. Not everything went wrong. If it had, we wouldn’t be here talking about a Cardinals win.

This isn’t to say that these five players can’t continue to improve but there was a lot to like from the performances of these guys. Not all is doom and gloom.

Yes it was the Colts, the same Colts team that lost to the Los Angeles Rams 46-9 in week one. The NFL though is a week to week proposition and the Colts clearly did their homework and came prepared on defense for their home opener.

Here are the five players that stood out on Sunday. Let’s hope it continues next Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys.
