KANSAS CITY – Turns out the opening coin flip wasn’t the only thing the Cardinals won on Sunday.
Oh, they still got outplayed and lost to a better opponent in the Kansas City Chiefs, falling 26-14 on a lovely, crisp afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium. But they won in other ways, if only just enough to make this latest loss a little more palatable and easier to swallow.
Despite losing for the seventh time in nine games, the Cardinals saved some face by not only keeping this game close and making it competitive, but by nearly pulling off the upset of the NFL season.
