The good

You really have to search to find the good from the Cardinals on Sunday. However, we can find it. It starts with receiver Larry Fitzgerald.

Fitz is always working it. Without him, there is no offensive numbers Sunday. He caught seven passes for 76-yards. His consecutive game reception streak continues, now at 212 games.

Running back David Johnson looked very good. He just didn’t get enough touches. He scored the Cardinals only touchdown of the day.

Punter Andy Lee was a busy man on Sunday. However he showed why he is considered one of the top punters in the game. He is great at pinning opponents inside the 20-yard line. He pinned three of his five punts inside the 20 for a 52.6 yard average.

Rookie receiver Christian Kirk made noise as a punt returner. He returned a fourth quarter punt 44-yards and almost broke it for a late score.
