TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals were flying high a year ago, 7-3 and running away in the NFC West. What followed was four losses in five games, three by at least 21 points.
Well, here they are again, 7-3 with a three-game lead in the NFC West. Memories of that letdown were fresh as the Cardinals prepared for Sunday's game at Tennessee.
Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald says its on the players not to repeat the past, and it starts on Sunday.
A major difference is the team's assessment of its own play. A year ago, the long-suffering Cardinals were riding a run of success unprecedented since the franchise moved from St. Louis two decades earlier. This year, the players say 7-3 is in some ways disappointing.
