Cardinals 26, Ravens 18

The Cardinals beat the Ravens 26-18 tonight in Glendale on MNF.  The Cardinals improve to 5-2 on the season with this victory.  They didn't make it look easy though, they dominated most of the game but had a punt blocked late that led to a Raven touchdown and didn't manage the clock very well down the stretch.  A win is a win though, you take them any way you can get them in the NFL.

Observations:

• Tyrann Mathieu was everywhere once again for the Cardinals. 
• I loved seeing that sack from Dwight Freeney!  
• The Cardinals need to get their special teams fixed. 
• Tony Jefferson really came up big when he needed to. 
• Chris Johnson plays well on Monday Night Football. 
• Justin Bethel is still the best special teams player in the NFL.
• That last drive by the Cardinals had me a bit perplexed. 
• I hope that Jerraud Powers isn't out long. 
• Total Yards:  Cardinals 414, Ravens 276
• Rushing Yards:  Cardinals 150, Ravens 55
• Turnovers:  Ravens 2, Cardinals 0
• Did I really see Chris Johnson get run down from behind?  
• That blocked punt by the Ravens was almost a killer. 
• It was nice to see Jermaine Gresham finally contributing.  
• Carson Palmer has had a nice career for himself. 
• Chris Catanzaro hasn't been Mr. Automatic like he was last year. 
• Why build a retractable dome if you never open it up?  
• Some horrible officiating tonight, on both sides. 
• I was hoping to get a look at Maxx Williams tonight.
• Up next?  @ Cleveland Browns next Sunday.
