Not getting points on their second offensive drive of the game when the Cardinals went 66 yards and didn't score was "huge," coach Bruce Arians said. First a touchdown was nullified by a holding penalty on right tackle Jared Veldheer and then kicker Phil Dawson missed a 36-yard field goal. The touchdown would've given Arizona a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter. "Anytime a touchdown comes off the board, it's frustrating," wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald said.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians was critical of the kicking game, both punting and kicking. "We have to do better jobs there," Arians said. Andy Lee had six punts Monday night and averaged 45.2 yards per punt. Phil Dawson missed one of his two field goal attempts.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said the No. 1 issue for Arizona in Monday night's loss was field position. Their average starting field position was their own 22. The Cardinals started three drives either on their own 10 or inside it, an all three were three-and-outs and resulted in punts. "Offensively, when we were backed up we did a very, very poor job of swapping ends of the field setting them up with short fields and not making the plays put our defense out there in those short (fields)," Arians said
