Although the Cardinals were able to extend their lead to two going into the fourth, they fell apart in a big way when the pressure was on in the final quarter, losing the fourth 20-6 to ensure they season got off to a losing start.
The silver lining for the Cardinals coming into today's game is that the Indianapolis Colts fared much worse in Week 1. Where as the Cardinals put up a fight and ultimately came up short in the final quarter, the Colts were soundly demolished in every quarter last week to lose 46-9 to the Los Angeles Rams.
The Colts must make massive changes for today's game if they are not to fall to 0-2. The Cardinals are not the strongest opposition in the NFL this season, but they will feel they can defeat Indianapolis this week to get things back to 1-1.
Earlier this week, the Houston Texans went on the road to Ohio to play the Cincinnati Bengals on NFL Thursday Night Football. The Texans prevailed 13-9 in a low-scoring and close encounter.
Both teams had lost in Week 1 and so both were intent on avoiding falling to 0-2, however, it is the Bengals that find themselves the first team of the new season to drop to 0-2. The Texans meanwhile move to 1-1 and will look to push on from here.
In Week 1 the Bengals were trashed 20-0 by the Baltimore Ravens, and Andy Dalton was only able to average 5.5 yards per pass through the game, accumulating an horrendous 28.4 passer rating.
The Texans meanwhile suffered an embarrassing loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, in what was a disastrous opening showing for the team. They gave up 10 sacks as well as 29 points, and were forced to bench Tom Savage for rookie Deshaun Watson midway through the game.
Watson struggled through his first ever start in the NFL, however, he did produce the only moment that really mattered in the game as he ran for a 49 yard touchdown after breaking free from the Bengals defense.
That proved to be the difference between the teams and was enough to get the Texans season kick-started with their first victory.
But on the evidence of Thursday's match up, both the Bengals and Texans look like they can have reasonable defenses, however, both will have to do something drastic about their offenses, as both looked far from NFL-level performances. If things do not improve quickly for both teams in that area then it could end up being a long season.
