The Ugly

Offensive line

Oof, not a good day once again for the offensive line. John Wetzel was continually beat. A.Q. Shipley had a bad penalty.

Most notably, the Cardinals gave up eight sacks of Gabbert on Sunday. You could probably pin one or two on Gabbert but there were a number of times the line just gave him no chance to do anything.

Closing it out

The Cardinals play calling and time management late almost cost them again. With a chance to close out the game with one first down, they couldn’t muster anything.

The Titans had three timeouts left. On the Cardinals last offensive drive, they ran the ball but could create no holes to get that elusive first down to run out the clock.

Instead, they punted the ball to the Titans and had to rely on the defense one more time to win the game. The defense did in fact make the stop they needed, thanks to a Titans holding call.
