Minter said he hasn’t seen a player like Johnson in quite some time and that the running back is deceptively unsafe once he gets an inch on a defender.

“We’ll see how it goes, ” Arians said. I thought we got a really good 20-something snaps out of Xavier (Williams). “I’m not too happy about that”. The former #1 overall pick threw four interceptions and lost a fumble, leading to 16 Cardinal points.

The Cardinals picked off Winston three times – including two by Marcus Cooper, whom Arizona traded for on September 2 – and recovered a fumble.

Worse yet, despite safety Chris Conte patrolling the deep middle of the field, the Cards’ Jaron Brown got behind him for a 51-yard touchdown pass to make it 24-0. The Cardinals missed a 47-yard field-goal attempt at the end of regulation that would have won the game due in part to a low snap but will stick with rookie long snapper Kameron Canaday moving forward.EXTRA POINTS1.

Last year, the chemistry seemed to be better, although Jackson had just one 100-yard receiving game. He finished the night with eight catches for 81 yards. That is far below his career average per catch of 17.0 yards per catch.

Jaron Brown got behind the defense and gathered in a ideal pass from Palmer for a 51-yard touchdown with 20 seconds still remaining until halftime.

After hearing that Arians called him out by name Monday, the second-year running back out of Northern Iowa felt it was fair ridicule. “Brandon is a good cornerback”.

Spreading the Love: Entering each game, there is a question as to who will step up and be “the guy” to be Palmer’s go-to target for that day. “I was exhausted from just jogging down”. The run started with Charles Sims’ 23-yard touchdown in the second quarter, to Austin Seferian-Jenkins’ 30-yard touchdown in the third, and then culminated in Mike Evans’ 45-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter.
