Larry Fitzgerald, 37 years old, is a supporting actor nowadays in the Cardinals’ star-studded cast of offensive players. He has 43 catches for 336 yards — a N’Keal Harry-like 7.8 yards per catch — and no touchdowns while mostly operating out of the slot. Perhaps he’s not as formidable as he once was, but I was looking forward to seeing him play against the Patriots on Sunday more than anyone else on the visiting roster.
Fitzgerald is a legend in his own time. He’s second all-time behind only Jerry Rice in receptions and receiving yards, which doubles as a welcome reminder of how ridiculously good Rice was.
