David Johnson carries Cardinals to win, keeps them alive in playoff race
GLENDALE, Ariz. – All the Arizona Cardinals needed was one yard – three whole feet – on fourth down to put keep the clock running late in the fourth quarter against Washington on Sunday.

Exactly Wisconsin IDK what that dude is talking about. I'm like uhhh what? What part was luck?
The offense played really well in the second half, Palmer didn't throw a pick, the Defense made big plays and the special teams even managed to not lose the game for us!
That was nothing but a HUGE win against a quality opponent.

Too bad he isn't named Ulysses S Bettcher (i.e. "U Bettcher").

This was a quality win against a team that has been playing very well. The Cards showed they can still be very good if we simply don't shoot ourselves in the foot or turn the ball over! This kind of win could get this team focused and playing smart football again we shall see. Screw it run the table and see where we sit when all is said and done!

Amazingly ballsy call to go for it on 4th & 1 at their own 34 late in the game. Could it be that BA finally has lost trust in Butler? WE all know what he would have done there - 28-yard shank out of bounds, 34-yard line drive returned for a TD, or a block. DJ comes through and makes it all a moot point.
Then when Gruden decides to take a TO at 2:03, it gave BA a "free shot" of sorts to throw, as the clock was going to stop for the 2-minute warning after the next play, whether it was a run, pass, or incompletion. To go end zone was typical BA all-or-nothing type of gamble, and it paid off big time. Had it fallen incomplete, no big loss. Just have to make sure you don't get picked there.
Cause for continued concern: all day long, Palmer was getting rushed and beaten up (again), while Cousins repeatedly got ample time to throw. But in the end, those 2 late blitzes sealed the win. All in all, an enjoyable game to be at, as has not often been the case so far this year.

Why we continue to not pressure a QB in these late game situations is mind boggling. Thank for they pulled their collective heads out and brought some blitz to seal the deal!
It was a total BS call on Campbell. The way it was announced in the stadium was "Roughing the passer...the defensive player hit the QB after the ball had been thrown." On replay, it showed that it was a bang-bang play and that Calais was already hitting Cousins when the ball was being passed. Ironically, one of the Redskins lineman slammed down on Cousins and likely did more harm than Cousins.
