Cards turn to QB David Blough to start vs. Falcons

Arizona Cardinals quarterback David Blough will start Sunday's game against the host Atlanta Falcons after Colt McCoy experienced concussion symptoms late in the week.

Coach Kliff Kingsburgy said Friday that Blough, 27, is getting the nod over Trace McSorley, who completed 24 of 45 passes for 217 yards with an interception in Arizona's 19-16 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The Cardinals (4-11) have lost five straight and seven of their past eight contests.

Blough signed with Arizona on Dec. 14 after spending time with the Minnesota Vikings' practice squad. He joined the Vikings after being waived by the Detroit Lions on Aug.
