Rolling Cardinals ready for battered Vikings

The Cardinals in turn are 10-2 overall and 4-1 at home. They need to get past this and continue to play good football like they have before this Seattle game.

“That’s why I came back, because moments like this, you can’t duplicate those in life”, Freeney said.

Peterson’s 95th career rushing touchdown and 100th career TD was a thing of beauty – the type of run we’ve been accustomed to seeing from AD over the past nine seasons.

Cardinals kicker Chandler Catanzaro has made 22-of-24 field goals this year.

The Cardinals reclaimed the lead with a 65-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver John Brown.

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer didn’t want to get into any discussions about Peterson being critical of the team’s game plan.

Minnesota only accumulated 125 total yards on offensive versus Seattle and could convert just 2 of its 10 chances on third down.

Teddy Bridgewater, QB-His quality games have been few and far between, but he does so well when he has them that you have hope for his future. A loss by Seattle and Tampa Bay would go a long way to resting the conscious of Vikings fans – with a loss by Green Bay being a real bonus as it keeps a division title potentially alive.

Kyle Rudolph, TE-In his last two games he’s been targeted 14 times but only produced 66 yards and no touchdowns. “I think it would be a much better discussion if I’m able to put a deep playoff run and a possible Super Bowl championship into the equation”. There is plenty of reason for concern – why just eight carries for Peterson?

We could play the “what if” game all day with any franchise. “Whenever we’re clicking on all cylinders we’re a tough team to stop”. Running back Adrian Peterson created a stir when he said the Vikings were outplayed and “outcoached” in the drubbing by the Seahawks, but he defended his remarks Tuesday. Stefon Diggs leads the Vikings with 42 catches for 626 yards, while Larry Fitzgerald has 91 catches for 1047 yards this season and seven touchdowns. I look at that play and I could have took that to the house. The Vikes have to play better defensively against Carson Palmer and the gang, even if they are dealing with some injuries. Arizona on the other hand is probable the most well-balanced team in the National Football League; they rank first in scoring, first in yards per game (419), fourth in points allowed (19.3) and fourth in yards allowed (317). Earlier, Minnesota was driving for what would have been the go-ahead touchdown when Jarius Wright caught a short pass from Bridgewater, then was hit by Deone Bucannon and fumbled.
