Examining what was at stake from a draft position context for the Cardinals, plus hits and misses from Sunday night's game against Tampa Bay
A wise musician once penned the lyrics, “When you ain’t got nothing, you’ve got nothing to lose.” Bob Dylan obviously never met the Arizona Cardinals.
That’s where the 4-11 Broncos would have been slated to pick, but they surrendered it to Seattle as part of the compensation in the offseason trade for quarterback Russell Wilson. An Arizona loss to Tampa Bay, however, would leave the Broncos and Cardinals with the same record, but the Cardinals would at least temporarily have control of the No. 3 pick by virtue of having lost last week to the Broncos.
As for the Cardinals, they fell their way into what amounted to a two-spot swing in what could be a critical shift in terms of draft positioning. *Andy Lee pulled off a brilliantly disguised fake punt, throwing a 4-yard completion to linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill for a clutch first down in the first quarter. It didn’t matter, though, because five plays laters, quarterback Trace McSorey fumbled the football away to the Buccaneers.
*Wilson, who missed last week’s game with a stinger, picked off Brady again on another throw to Evans with 3:08 left in the third quarter. It ended a probable Tampa scoring drive and it gave the Cardinals a chance to really take some momentum.
