Cardinals 27, Jaguars 14

The Cardinals topped the Jaguars 27-14 in Jacksonville today.  With this win the Cardinals improve to 6-4 on the season, they are very much in the playoff hunt.  I know Jacksonville isn't a very good team, but I still like a lot of what I saw today.  Carson Palmer seems to be figuring out the offense, the secondary receivers are stepping up, the defense continues to shine, their big name players are playing like big name players, they are looking like a solid football team.  Nice game Cardinals.

Observations:  

• 419 yards passing today for Carson Palmer, he seems to be figuring out the offense.
• Carson Palmer's streak of games throwing an interception ends at 9 games.
• The Cardinals defense seemed to want to phone this one in at the start.
• It was nice to see another Larry Fitzgerald touchdown!
• The Jaguars defense is just NOT very good. 
• Rashard Mendenhall is not the RB that he used to be.  More Andre Ellington please!
• Gutsy 4th down call by the Jags to start the game.  Nothing to lose.  
• Great game for Cardinals WR Michael Floyd.  6 catches for 193 yards & 1 TD.
• Rushing Yards:  Cardinals 14, Jaguars 32.  That's pathetic all the way around.   
• Football players shouldn't sport dreadlocks.  It would seem like common sense wouldn't it?
• Yet another sack by John Abraham, that 7 sacks now in the past 4 games. 
• TE Jake Ballard has been a solid mid season pickup for the Cardinals. 
• Time of Possession:  Cardinals 35:53, Jaguars 24:07.  
• Cardinals Kicker Jay Feeley continues to impress.  
• This wasn't the best officiated game I have ever seen. 
• Stupid taunting penalty by Yeremiah Bell early on.  You can't do that!
• How is it possible that the Jags scored their first home TD of the season today?
• Give the Jags credit, they are still playing hard for Gus Bradley.
• Lots of empty seats in Jacksonville.  Do they really need a $63 million scoreboard?
• Up next?  @ home vs the Indianapolis Colts.
