Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians hospitalized overnight
The Vikings play in Detroit on Thanksgiving. With Branch practicing Wednesday, it signaled he was the player Arizona had designated to return from the injured reserve list, which ended the seasons for running back Chris Johnson and linebacker Alani Fua, both of whom previously were candidates, along with Branch, to return from the IR. Left guard Alex Boone was mad enough about the streak that he cut off his long locks of hair.
“I think I’m ready to go”, Mathieu said. “(Winning) is just a mentality. “The mindset is not going to change”. Palmer attempted 38 passes as he tried to summon a Cardinals comeback.
The idea was having Rhodes better learn how to effectively play cornerback without risking penalties for grabbing at the receiver. The Vikings were holding a slim 13-10 lead at the time and that boosted the margin to 20-10. Fitzgerald has scored only one touchdown in eight all-time games against the Vikings, the team he used to serve as a ball boy for when Dennis Green was the coach. You feel like the world is closing in on you.
That shifted on the kickoff to open the second half.
“My legs were dead”, Rhodes said, “and I was just exhausted”. Elliott has 1,382. Johnson has scored more touchdowns in past two seasons (25) than any player in NFL. “We planned our game and we ended up getting sacks”.
Patterson certainly is one of the most unsafe kick returners in the game. Still, Fitzgerald spoke like a man who feels his team’s poor play may have landed the coach in the hospital.
“They have a great front”. Though the Cardinals owned the edge in total yards, first downs gained and time of possession, they came up short once again. Playing behind inexperienced line, Arizona QB Carson Palmer was hit 15 times in loss at Minnesota, four of them resulting in sacks. Minter said. “When are we going to finally do what we know we can do?” “We deserved this win”. Their record is now 6-4. The same held true Sunday against the Vikings when they put up 124 yards on the ground.
One of the worst decisions of Week 11 was made by Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, whose roughing-the-passer penalty just before the two-minute warning ignited the Dolphins’ game-winning drive in Miami’s 14-10 win in Los Angeles.
