Embarrassment can be a great motivator. At least it was for the Cardinals on Sunday at State Farm Stadium.
No, they didn’t win. The Steelers beat them, 23-17. But the Cardinals returned to their competitive ways a week after being humiliated by the Rams at home.
In the end, the Steelers won because of maturity.
The Steelers know who they are. They know what they stand for.
The Cardinals are still trying to find out who they are. They are still trying to learn how to stand.
That’s understandable since the Cardinals haven’t been above .
