“I don’t see how they make that call at that point in the game like that”.
In this one, I’m giving the nod to the Cardinals, as they seem to be getting better and better as the season rolls along.
THAT PENALTY: Bengals coach Marvin Lewis called it “that phantom call”.
Lewis called the flag “ridiculous”. Punter Kevin Huber rebounded from a poor opening kick to averaged 48.6 yards per attempt with a strong 44.0 net. Arizona says he has been cleared to play, but if he is unable to go, or is limited, it could affect the Cardinals’ s game plan. To get into that kind of style and drive all the way down the field twice, it shows the grit we have. Last week, in relief of the injured and bad Peyton Manning, he threw 24 in the second half. Andy Dalton completed 22 of 38 passes for 197 yards.
Ravens 16, Rams 13: Justin Tucker kicked a 47-yard field goal as time expired to cap Baltimore’s rally from a 10-point deficit. The Cardinals have had a whopping three seasons with double-digit victories since then, topping out at 11 wins a year ago, when Palmer watched a hopeless playoff game against the Carolina Panthers from the sideline with a torn left ACL he’d suffered in November.
Dalton bounced back from a shaky start to the second half to engineer the Bengals’ comeback.
“He called us out”, Golden said. And it was the third week in a row that someone other than a running back had the longest run of the game. Bruce Arians put his coaching skills on full display with the ideal two-minute drill that Palmer and crew executed to get within field goal range. “We fought until the very end and that’s good to see”. “The big play to J.J. was a catalyst”.
Jameis Winston threw five touchdown passes, and Doug Martin ran for 235 yards for Tampa Bay. The Arizona Cardinals won at Cincinnati by a score of 35-27. Despite the loss, the Bengals remain No. 2 – behind unbeaten New England – in the AFC.
The Cardinals rattled off three unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter, eventually building a 31-21 lead into the fourth. Nelson snagged four passes for 142 yards, including a attractive 64-yard touchdown bomb from Palmer.
But the Cardinals dispute that Peko was merely saying “get set”.
What the Cardinals would claim, and what the officials ruled, was that Cincinnati’s veteran DT Domata Peko was barking out a simulated snap count, trying to get the Cardinals to jump.

Scott: I think Palmer will play just fine. Fitzgerald hasn’t scored since Week 8, but has three straight 80-plus yards games. Dalton also failed to give Jones a chance to do what he does best, leap and out-battle the defender, on another deep ball when he threw it too far right and out of bounds. Jeremy Hill had two short scoring runs for Cincinnati.
