Arizona's problem there was that they didn't get behind the sticks enough on 3rd down. They really needed to back up to something like 3rd and 14 to make that a lock. It's like they don't even watch film.
When watching the defense, what stands out to me the most is that nobody in the middle of the defense seems to EVER make a tackle. It's either the front line stopping things or the DB's tripping over each other and eventually pushing somebody out of bounds. Of the two linebackers and the nickel, the only guysm I ever see make tackles are Tuputala and Bruener at the Mike spot.
