Cardinals Need Introspection To Pay Off

Related Topics: Bruce Arians, Jared Veldheer

It’s been a week of soul-searching for the Cardinals.

Coach Bruce Arians was direct on Monday, publicly questioning the physicality and selflessness of some players after reviewing Sunday’s loss to the Falcons. The criticism hung in the air throughout the week, bothersome enough that a players-only meeting was held to address any lingering issues.

Losses and tension tend to sprout together, and the team will look to combat both with a turnaround performance on Sunday against Washington. The Cardinals have never lost three straight under Arians, and badly need to get back on track after a fruitless two-game road swing to Minnesota and Atlanta.
