Offense
Grade: B +
Finally, the Red Birds showed a semblance of a running game. Ryan Williams had his best game as a pro, pacing the Cardinals with 83 yards on the ground on just 13 carries (a 6.4 average).

I don’t see why Kolb should lose his job as long as he protects the football and the Cardinals keep on winning.
