It started with two interceptions of Colin Kaepernick that were returned for touchdowns in the first quarter. It continued with Carson Palmer tearing apart what is quickly becoming a disastrous San Francisco 49ers secondary. And it culminated in a 47-7 win against the over-matched division rival.
In reality, Arizona looked like a top-notch varsity team going up against a junior varsity squad full of freshman. That’s how bad it was for the road team in this one.
Palmer may have thrown his first interception of the season, but he consistently found open receivers throughout the game. In the process, the veteran completed 20-of-32 passes for 311 yards with two touchdowns, both of which went to Larry Fitzgerald. Looking like the running back that led the NFL in rushing so many years ago, Chris Johnson added 150 total yards and two scores on 23 touches. Yeah, it was a blowout of epic proportions for Bruce Arians and Co.
Some will argue that Green Bay should be considered the favorites in the NFC through three weeks, but the Cardinals are definitely in the conversation. After all, they are outscoring their opponents by an average of nearly 26 points per game.
