Packers 24, Cardinals 21: Takeaways and observations from the Thursday night loss

The Cardinals made several mistakes and still were one play away from winning the game.

The Arizona Cardinals failed to win their eighth straight game to start the season Thursday night, losing to the Green Bay Packers 24-21 at State Farm Stadium.

Both teams were shorthanded and it ended in dramatic fashion.

The Cardinals had the chance to win the game or at least tie it in the final seconds, but a miscommunication on the Cardinals’ final throw led to an interception instead of the game-winning touchdown or an incompletion to set up a field goal to send it to overtime.

What takeaways and observations can we take from the game?
