These three Arizona Cardinals will be key to success this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers

There hasn’t been much to gloat about when it comes to the Arizona Cardinals over the first three weeks of the 2017 NFL Season. Each week a different story is told.

In week one, it was a sluggish offensive start. The defense played great until the fourth quarter. Quarterback Carson Palmer threw four interceptions.

In week two, the Cardinals started slow again but picked it up offensively enough in the second half to eek out a win. This despite kicker Phil Dawson missing a game-winning kick.

He would redeem himself in overtime with a game winning kick. He has missed a kick in each of the first three games though.

Then on Monday night, they lost to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. The offensive line was atrocious. Bad penalties negating touchdowns. Palmer turned out to have a very good game despite being sacked six times.

Now we are on to week four against the San Francisco 49ers. They will be coming off 10 days of rest. They are also 0-3. If the Cardinals wish to keep them winless, these three players must put in better performances on Sunday.
