Byron Leftwich had never called plays before he did it last week for the Cardinals against the Raiders, and he’s going to do it again this week for the Cardinals when they play the Bears.
The quarterback coach, in his first season as a regular coach (he was an intern last year), wasn’t necessarily looking for the job either. Head coach Bruce Arians just told him he was going to be doing it.
“If you know B.A., you know you don’t get too much of a warning,” Leftwich said with a smile.
Arians let offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin call plays in the Hall of Fame game.
