ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Fire alarms went off in Arizona’s team hotel on Saturday night. A day later, distress signals were heard all over the Valley.
The Cardinals are not only losing football games. They look lost. They do not resemble a Super Bowl-caliber operation.
“We’ve dealt with adversity the past three years,” safety Tyrann Mathieu said. “But we haven’t gotten our butts whipped this bad to begin a season. We’ve lost guys to injury. We maybe lost a couple of games here and there. But we’ve never gotten demolished. And today we got whipped, man.”
Following a 33-18 loss to Buffalo – a game that was not nearly as close as the final score indicated – there were many reasons for concern.
