It finally happened. Sam Bradford was replaced as the Cardinals' quarterback by rookie Josh Rosen with 4:31 left in the game Sunday against the Bears after the offense scored two touchdowns early in the first quarter and didn't manage to score again. But even the change at quarterback wasn't enough as Arizona lost 16-14.

Rosen replaces Bradford but can't rescue Cards
Rookie quarterback Josh Rosen replaced starter Sam Bradford in the fourth quarter Sunday with the Cardinals trailing by two, but the former UCLA star couldn't get the job done as Arizona dropped to 0-3.
Josh Weinfuss ESPN Staff Writer
Since starting the game 4-for-5 for 92 yards and 2 TDs, Cardinals quarterback Sam Bradford has gone 6-for-11 for 17 yards and 2 INTs.
Josh Weinfuss ESPN Staff Writer
The Cardinals are fortunate to have put two quick touchdowns on the board in the first quarter because their offense hasn't done much since. Arizona still leads at halftime, 14-3, but quarterback Sam Bradford threw for 3 yards in the second quarter after putting up 92 in the first while the offense didn't gain a single yard in the second quarter.
Josh Weinfuss ESPN Staff Writer
This is the Sam Bradford the Cardinals -- and everyone else -- expected. He's thrown for 92 yards and two touchdowns on 4-for-5 passing in the first quarter for a QB rating of 158.3.
Josh Weinfuss ESPN Staff Writer
Up 7-0 on the Bears early in the first quarter, the Cardinals hold their first lead of the season. It came on the team's first passing touchdown of the year. It also helped Arizona score more points today than they had in the entire season.
Josh Weinfuss ESPN Staff Writer
The fans have spoken. This sign at State Farm Stadium has a different message ever week. This one is loud and clear.

Cardinals inactives: QB Mike Glennon, RB T.J. Logan, S Rudy Ford, CB Deatrick Nichols, RT Andre Smith, DT Olsen Pierre and OL Korey Cunningham.
Seth Walder ESPN Analytics
Chicago is a 6-point favorite in Vegas, but only a 2-point favorite according to FPI.
Cardinals can save money by benching Bradford (0:48)
Cards have financial incentive to turn to Rosen
If the Cardinals bench Sam Bradford after this week or even decide to release him from the roster and go with Mike Glennon as the backup, they would save over $4 million in unpaid per-game roster bonuses, per a review of Bradford's contract.
Cardinals downplay scaled-back playbook despite needed changes
The Cardinals are the worst offense in the NFL through two weeks, and Sunday will be the first test for a scaled-down playbook.
Josh Weinfuss ESPN Staff Writer
Cardinals RT Andre Smith and DT Olsen Pierre were ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, coach Steve Wilks said.
