Xavier Rhodes’ 2 Interceptions, TD Give Vikings Spark in 30-24 Win

As phenomenal as he was in 2015, Palmer has been a liability for the Cardinals this season.

They beat an underwhelming Arizona Cardinals team that with the loss, further hurting that team’s chances of making the postseason.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said Fitzgerald’s willingness past year to buy into playing slot, while maintaining his stature as one of the NFL’s best blocking receivers, typifies his passion for football. “We’re still in the thick of it”. The Cardinals (4-4-1) have used two wins against the San Francisco 49ers to jumpstart the second half of the season.

Indianapolis scored touchdowns on each of their first three possessions, including two Andrew Luck scoring passes, and they held on to defeat Tennessee at Lucas Oil Stadium.

This game is going to be very interesting as the Cardinals boast a very strong running back, while the Vikings boast an elite rush defense. We just need to settle down.

The Vikings (6-4) faced the same urgency, though.

The Minnesota Vikings’ offense has struggled to get going in recent weeks, so they dug deep in the playbook to strike for a big play against the Arizona Cardinals.

It was really the third quarter that put the nail in the Cardinals’ coffin.

That being said, the Vikings know the great challenge ahead of them and will undoubtedly think of ways to maximize protection and get the ball out of Bradford’s hands as quickly as possible.

On the season, Johnson has now rushed for 863 yards and 10 scores, and he has 47 catches for 510 yards and two touchdowns. It was the first of two interceptions for Rhodes.

“You’ve got to stay on your guy”, Arians said. “Andre needs to play too”. They also have a head coach and general manager who, up until this season, have been wildly successful together in the desert.

But the defense came up with another great series-in a fashion that said they would not be denied. The Titans have earned consecutive wins just once this season, which won’t get them anywhere near the playoffs as without a win streak it will be a lost season in Nashville for an exciting offense that has often fallen just short this season.

And here’s Patterson’s 104-yard return of the second half kickoff.

Forbath made his first extra point attempt, and the crowd went nuts, but his second attempt was blocked.

Patterson’s celebration wasn’t quite as smooth as his return.

“It definitely was a tough, tough situation for me to watch the game”, Munnerlyn said. “I’ll continue to put it to work during practice and see where I’m at, at the end of the week”.

Arizona threatened inside the 10 and Carson Palmer threw a pass intended for John Brown that was intercepted by Rhodes at the goal line, who returned for a touchdown. The two 100-plus-yard touchdowns are a Vikings franchise record.

All the trickery led to a 30-yard pass that was knocked away, but a pass interference call set up the Vikings near the goal line. The drive lasted only five plays, fueled by a 30-yard pass play to Patterson. Minnesota started the year 5-0, with QB Sam Bradford acquired in a trade to replace injured Teddy Bridgewater and RB Adrian Peterson out injured.

“I was in high school watching this guy”, said Vikings rookie cornerback Mackenzie Alexander.
