Former Pitt star Larry Fitzgerald has struggled to produce at his usual level this season as the last remnant of a once formidable Arizona Cardinals team now missing quarterback Carson Palmer and head coach Bruce Arians, who both retired after the 2017 season. But on Sunday, Fitzgerald posted his first 100-yard game of the season and reached a career milestone.
In an NFC West matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, Fitzgerald managed to haul in a season-high eight receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown. His performance helped the Cardinals’ post a come-from-behind win over their division rivals, as they went down 15-3 in the fourth quarter but responded by scoring 15 unanswered points for a much-needed 18-15 victory.
