TEMPE, Ariz. — The Cardinals have quietly stayed near the top of the standings this season, while much of the national attention went to the Patriots, Broncos, Panthers, or even Arizona's division foes in Seattle.
Five prime-time appearances in an eight-week span are changing that. It's hard for a pro football fan to avoid watching this high-scoring, entertaining bunch lately.
"It's about time," cornerback Patrick Peterson said. "I believe we've been playing good enough to have that shot. We've been putting on a great show."
At 11-2, Arizona is tied for the second-best record in the NFL.
