The Defense: A couple great plays in the first, but not much else early on. They seemed to be so focused on stopping the run, they allowed Warner a lot of yardage through the air. Can someone tell me why that is; the Cards can’t/don’t run the ball? The D looked much better in the second causing a fumble and an INT; both as the Cards were threatening to score. The Cards do score on their opening drive of the third quarter, mostly through the air. Throughout the second half, there seems to be a recurring theme: Colts put intense pressure on Warner, Warner holds the ball until the last second and miraculously completes a pass down-field, refs throw a flag on the OL for holding, Arizona backs up and tries again. Warner is amazing, but his OL just can’t compete with the Colt’s D. As the game wears on, the D gets more aggressive, more players get involved, and the number of big plays grows. Freeney gets injured late in the game, and that can’t be good.
