Conservative streak: How Kliff Kingsbury’s coaching gaffes nearly cost the Cardinals

What a rollercoaster of a game.

From what looked like a sure loss to a spirited comeback to seemingly watching a miracle win slip away only to be saved in one of the craziest endings to a football game imaginable… this game really had it all.

I’d love nothing more than to just celebrate this win right now. But there almost wasn’t a win to celebrate because a series of costly mistakes by Kliff Kingsbury made this game so much harder for the Cardinals than it needed to be.

Simply put, Kliff coached afraid (I would also call it something that rhymes with “kickin’ it”) for most of the game on Sunday night—as he has throughout his brief Cardinals career.
