Last week: 29 (+2)
Record: 5-9
Net points per drive: -0.31 (23rd)
DVOA: -14.7% (26th)
Weighted DVOA: -21.6% (27th)
The Cardinals ended a 9 game losing streak last week and avoided the 4-0 to 4-12 collapse, but they did it almost purely on returns, returning two interceptions for touchdowns and returning a muffed punt to the Detroit 5, for an easy score. Ryan Lindley still didn’t look like he even belonged in the league, let alone starting, and with games against Chicago and San Francisco left on the schedule, they probably won’t win another game.

For Acho, the giving season is year-round
TEMPE, Ariz. Sam Achos life is encapsulated in one of his favorite quotes from the Christian rapper Lecrae.
I dont want to be a celebrity; I want to be a servant.
Acho cant help the former. Hes an NFL player, and a good one at that. But the Cardinals second-year outside linebacker is doing all he can do to stay true to the latter goal.

Back and forth on how I would have predicted the Bears to match up with the Cardinals this season. At first I saw the Cardinals as a stiff test on the road, this after they started the season 4-0. Then the Cardinals went on a long losing streak while the Bears stood at 7-3 on the season. Now the Bears have lost five of their last six games and while the Cardinals have lost...
