The Arizona Cardinals took a 30-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11, news which quickly took a back seat when a report revealed head coach Bruce Arians has to go to the hospital for chest pains.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter broke the news:
Cardinals HC Bruce Arians is hospitalized with chest pain, sources tell ESPN. Tests so far have been “favorable”, according to one source.

After returning home from Minnesota, Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians was experiencing discomfort and not feeling well during the night. His wife took him to a local hospital to be evaluated,” the Cardinals said in a statement. “All tests conducted so far have come back favorably. He remains in the hospital for continued evaluation.
Others echoed positive vibes:
Just heard from Bruce Arians in the hospital and says he's feeling ok. Hoping it was just a scare

While the updates sound good, this falls into the scary category for many reasons. Other than the obvious, Arians also had to go to a hospital before a preseason game while suffering from diverticulitis.
Alas, it sounds like Arians will be back with the team shortly and working hard on figuring out how to turn around a 4-5-1 team still alive in the NFC West.
With any luck, this was all precautionary. Stay turned for further updates.
