The Cardinals led 9-3 in the third quarter but fell apart in the second half without McCoy and with their defense unable to stop the Broncos. and lost 24-15 for their fourth straight loss and sixth i…
Cardinals defensive lineman J.J. Watt had three sacks, a forced fumble, a pass breakup and a tackle for loss, plus three quarterback hits in the first half. Watt's dominance stood out in an otherwise dreary first 30 minutes of action in which neither team could move the ball consistently.
Watt had three sacks in one game for the seventh time in his career and for the first time since Sept. 23, 2018 with the Houston Texans, according to the Cardinals.McCoy's departure, in which a scene unfolded similar to that of when Kyler Murray suffered a knee injury last week when the entire team came out on the field, meant that the only other active quarterback on the roster was Trace McSorley, who finished the game.
That decision was debatable, given that the Cardinals could have kicked the extra point and been down by one score at that late stage in the game. They got the ball back with 1:48 to play, when the deficit could have been eight.The Cardinals had three cornerbacks available for Sunday's game. The starters were rookie Christian Matthew and Jace Whittaker, who'd been on the practice squad and the active roster earlier this season.
The Broncos started finding openings downfield and ran the ball effectively in the third quarter. Down 9-3, they went ahead 10-9 with 6:02 to play in the third on Marlon Mack's three-yard touchdown run.
