Well, some things apparently are never going to change. The Arizona Cardinals had several chances to stop the Atlanta Falcons on their first offensive drive of the game but it didn’t happen.
Penalties, wide open tight ends, its the same story. Two of the most aware veteran defenders in the game were caught not being aware.
First it was linebacker Terrell Suggs, then it was linebacker Chandler Jones. Each of them cost the Cardinals 5-yards on consecutive third down plays and kept the drive alive for the Falcons.
The Falcons were on the verge of being stopped after a nice drive, which included a wide-open Falcons tight end Austin Hooper on a 19-yard catch and run.
