Desperation has pushed Ryan Lindley into action. The Arizona Cardinals' rookie quarterback will make his first career start Sunday against the St. Louis Rams with Kevin Kolb injured and John Skelton ineffective. Skelton said he's frustrated with the situation. "Obviously, losing six in a row is frustrating," Skelton told The Arizona Republic on Wednesday. "What transpired on Sunday and then now, the benching, obviously is frustrating." The Cardinals' offensive line has been horrendous, and any quarterback would have issues behind it, but Skelton hasn't done much to keep the job. He threw just two touchdown passes and five interceptions in 179 attempts this season. Source: NFL.com Attached Thumbnails

Last week: 23 (+1) Record: 4-6 I’ve watched a lot of football, but I saw two things I’ve never seen before in the Falcons/Cardinals game this week.
