Cardinals 14, Lions 6

The Cardinals defeated the Lions 14-6 today at the University of Phoenix Stadium.  The Cardinals improved to an NFL best 9-1 record on the season.  They now have a 3 game lead in the NFC West with just six games to go.  What a season they are having, even a quarterback change can't slow them down. The remaining schedule is pretty brutal, I think we are about to find out just how good this team is.  Nice win Cardinals!!!

Observations:

• Welcome back Michael Floyd!  2 touchdown receptions! 
• The Cardinals have now won six games in a row.  
• Drew Stanton is now 3-1 as a starting NFL quarterback!
• The Cardinals never trailed in this one. 
• Who the heck is Robert Hughes?  I think I like him.  
• Was that Deone Bucannon's best game as a Cardinal?  
• The Cardinals did a nice job of slowing down Calvin Johnson. 
• Drew Stanton has got a nice arm, he can make all the throws. 
• The Cardinals only averages 1.8 yards per rush, that has got to get better. 
• First Downs:  Cardinals 18, Lions 11
• Total Yards:  Cardinals 352, Lions 262
• 2 sacks for Alex Okafor!  He is stepping up his game.
• The Lions defense really stepped it up after the first quarter. 
• Golden Tate was a nice pick up for the Lions. 
• 9 penalties for 80 yards on the Lions. Weren't they suppose to be more disciplined?
• Frostee Rucker is a very under the radar player for the Cardinals. 
• The Cardinals have really dominated teams outside of the NFC West lately.
• Great challenge by Bruce Arians on that Jeremy Ross punt return. 
• Why did they put a retractable roof on the University of Phoenix Stadium again? 
• Up next?  @ Seattle next Sunday to take on the Seahawks.
