Offensive Analysis: Cardinals 26-14 Loss to the Chiefs

Positives:

  • When was the last time we Cardinals’ fans have seen long, time consuming opening drive TDs in both the 1st and 3rd quarters?
  • The significance of these TD drives is the most positive takeaway of the game. First, it means that the players are responding very well to OC Byron Leftwich, who is clearly a major upgrade in just two games of calling playing than 19 year NFL veteran Mike McCoy.
  • Secondly, the 3rd quarter opening drive TD signifies an ability to make half-time adjustments, something that even Bruce Arians was failing at more often than not the past two seasons.
