Colts 22, Cardinals 16: Takeaways, observations from Christmas night loss

A look back and some takeaways from the Cardinals’ 22-16 loss on Christmas night.

The Arizona Cardinals lost their third game in a row Saturday night, a 22-16 defeat to the Indianapolis Colts. They fell to 10-5, failed to clinch a playoff spot on their own and now are 3-4 in their home stadium.

But what happened, happened.

Below are some takeaways and observations from the evening.
