The Arizona Cardinals had their struggles but also successes on Sunday in their first victory of the season

There was a lot for the Arizona Cardinals to hang their hat on in their 28-18 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. It was their seventh straight victory over their NFC West rival.

It was quarterback Josh Rosen‘s first road start and first against the 49ers. He didn’t play too bad in the overall scheme of things.

There will be things for him to work on this week but certainly the glaring stat is the one he didn’t create. For the second straight start, he did not throw an interception.

While that is great to see and he had a great 75-yard pass to receiver Christian Kirk on Sunday to kick things off on offense, that was by far the best thing to happen for him all day. He finished the day under fifty percent passing accuracy.

There are three players however that really stepped up on Sunday to help the Cardinals to their first win and hopefully many more. These are the guys that made the biggest difference in coming home 1-4 instead of 0-5. Now it will be interesting to see if they can remain consistent and do it again next week.
