32. Despite not having a healthy Carson Palmer the Cardinals knocked-off the miserable Chip Kelly-led San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. Drew Stanton and the offense had zero turnovers, one of the biggest keys to any team winning, and also finished ahead in time of possession. Two generations of players combined for four Cardinals touchdowns. Larry Fitzgerald and David Johnson were the catalysts against San Francisco, proving age is just a number. Fitzgerald had 81 yards receiving and two scores, while Johnson carried the ball into the end zone twice and had 157 yards rushing. The defense kept Blaine Gabbert in check with seven sacks and two interceptions.
<p>Next Week: The Cardinals will be licking their chops when they host the New York Jets on Monday Night Football next week. Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown 10 interceptions this season, and fumbled the ball against the Steelers in week five. New York has only allowed one rushing touchdown this year, which could limit Johnson on the ground.</p>
<p>Playoff hopes: Losing three of your first five games is never a great situation, especially for a team that had legitimate Super Bowl ambitions. They are still in striking distance of the NFC West, and have a crucial primetime game against Seattle in two weeks at home.</p>. 2-3. Previous: . Arizona Cardinals. 13. team
