Cardinals 20, Browns 17

The Cardinals knock off the Browns 20-17 in OT today.  The Cardinals move to 7-7 on the season and keep their faint playoff hopes alive.  The Cardinals have now won 6 of their last 7 games.  The Lions & Falcons are both 9-5, the Cowboys are 8-6, the Cardinals, Bears, Giants & Seahawks are all 7-7, the Cardinals would need to win out and hope for a LOT of help to make the playoffs, it's been a nice run but don't count on it. 

Observations:
-This is the Cardinals first 4 game winning streak since 1999.
-A Todd Heap sighting?  It was good to have him back, he had 7 catches for 69 yards.
-Heap moved into 11th place on the All Time TE reception list.
-The Cardinals are 3-0 in OT this year.
-The Cardinals have been out scored 71-29 in the 1st quarter this year.  
-Kevin Kolb missed another game, he has hardly solidified his spot as franchise QB.
-John Skelton played okay in relief of Kolb, I'm not sure I'd call him a franchise QB though.  
-Peyton Hillis would be a good RB if he could stay healthy. 
-Colt McCoy vs Seneca Wallace?  Does it really make a difference?  
-Up next are the Bengals in Cincinnati next Saturday.
