GLENDALE, Ariz. – They hovered around the 30-yard line, a receiving line of sorts for the dignitary in red and black. There was Matt Cassel lurking behind Frank Ragnow, LeGarrette Blount and Don Muhlbach hanging on the periphery; Darius Slay and Quandre Diggs off to the side.
Lion-by-Lion they waited for a couple of moments with Larry Fitzgerald. Some wanted to congratulate him. Others wanted to catch up. A rookie told him how much he looked up to him.
Detroit beat Arizona 17-3, but the game’s seminal moment came with a fairly innocuous catch in the third quarter.
