Speaking of Fitz, this 36-year-old does not play like one. After 8 receptions for 113-yards and a touchdown on in week 1, he followed that up with another impressive performance in week 2.

Against the Ravens, Fitz was able to haul in 5 receptions for 104-yards. His longest catch of the day went for 54-yards.

If you take away his first grab of the game in the first quarter, which went for no gain, then technically his 4 receptions netted those 104-yards. Not too bad for a guy who some believed was losing it a couple of years ago.

He may have lost a step or so but the guy still knows how to make plays. He picked one grab out of mid air with one hand, vintage Fitz. He also fought hard for every yard, something Cardinals fans have become accustomed to over the last 15 years.

That is now 13 receptions over the first two weeks. That puts him on pace to finish with 104 receptions on the season.
