So what are some keys or points of emphasis we would like to see the Cardinals do Saturday night?

While there were certainly more duds, there were a few studs that stood out Sunday afternoon for the Cardinals.
It was an embarrassing Sunday afternoon for the Arizona Cardinals, as they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 44-21.
Patrick Mahomes was practically toying with their defense the entire outing. The Cardinals’ offense, which was supposed to keep them in the game, was not effective.
Not all was bad but not much was good.

Wilson exited the game late with an injury. He said after the game it was something minor and there are “no problems.”
The Arizona Cardinals have struggled to be healthy at the cornerback position and, in the final minutes of their 44-21 Week 1 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, starting cornerback Marco Wilson exited the game with an injury, seemingly something to do with one of his legs.
It does not appear to be anything serious.
Wilson was asked about it after the game.
“That was something minor, I’ll be alright,” he said postgame. “No problems.”
That is good news.
Wilson broke up two passes, forced a fumble and had five tackles in the loss.
He did not have a limp when he was walking in the locker room.
We will see whether his practice reps are impacted at all once Wednesday comes around and the team releases its first injury report of Week 2.
