As an Arizona Cardinal fan, I ask why the team has struggle so much this season. Two key stats give an answer.
Another batch of the angry and the funny.
The Sprint game ball of the week goes to the Cardinals fans, for having to watch this past Sunday's loss.
Even in bad games, some people give you plays to smile at.
The Kansas City Chiefs are now recording more 15 yard plays then they had at the beginning of the year.
The Kansas City Chiefs entered Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals missing two key players due to injury and left the game with another pair of key players missing due to injury.
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Arizona Cardinals 31-13 on Sunday and created plenty of good stats, which we've already talked about.
The Kansas City Chiefs convincing 31-13 victory produced plenty of good stats. There's the 31 points scored or continuing the streak of holding opponents to 20 points or less at home.
The Kansas City offensive line added a new wrinkle in their blocking attack for the Arizona Cardinals. Bewsaf breaks it down.
The Kansas City Chiefs have talked about endearing QB Matt Cassel to the fans, but what about head coach Todd Haley?
Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals was a reunion of sorts for Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley, who previously coached in Arizona.
The Kansas City Chiefs running game is what makes the whole offense go. If the running game isn't moving very well -- like the last two weeks against the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos -- the Chiefs usually lose.
