It certainly was not the result the Arizona Cardinals wanted in Week 8, but there were a number of highlight plays made. Perhaps there is some hope for the rest of the season after seeing some offensive improvement today, but we’ll have to wait and find out.

Linebacker Isaiah Simmons had another game-changing play with a strip sack and recovery. He seems to come up with something special at least once a game.

A few key players made an overall solid group effort null. The Cardinals had multiple opportunities to win this game.
The Arizona Cardinals suffered a frustrating 34-26 loss on Sunday to the Minnesota Vikings. It was a perfect opportunity for the team to advance to .500 and build momentum in the NFC West.
Instead, three second-half turnovers put the game away for the Cards and now many are questioning the future of the team.
The most frustrating part of the loss was how well the Cardinals played outside of a few crucial mistakes. A muffed punt, fumbled snap and two interceptions sealed the game for Arizona.
Some players stood out and had stud performances. Others were duds.

Just add another highlight-reel play from the stud WR.
[sendtonews_embed video_id=”GdZNDkRvkb-2330336-7498″]
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has made a career of highlight-reel catches.
He can add another one to his collection.
At the end of the first half against the Minnesota Vikings, on third-and-2 from the six-yard line, he gets behind Harrison Smith and Kyler Murray throws him the ball. Hopkins extends his arm and makes the one-handed stab.
It was the Cardinals’ first touchdown of the game and pulled them within four points, making the score 14-10.
Bullard is the only starter not healthy this week.
After having one of the least eventful injury reports a team could have during the week, the Minnesota Vikings will be missing one starter as they take on the Arizona Cardinals Sunday.
Defensive end Jonathan Bullard, who was a late addition to the injury report on Friday with an illness and was questionable to play, will not dress and is inactive for the game.

A Madden simulation predicted a defensive struggle between the Cardinals and Vikings.
The Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings face each other Sunday in their real game. We will see how that plays out.
In a simulation of the game on Madden NFL 23, the Cardinals play good defense, limiting the production of running back Dalvin Cook, receiver Justin Jefferson and quarterback Kirk Cousins, but the Vikings limit the Cardinals to only a touchdown and come away with a 13-7 win.
Nobody scored in the first quarter.
The Cardinals took a 7-0 lead on a two-yard Keaontay Ingram touchdown run. They got the ball on a Zaven Collins interception.
However, the Vikings answered right back with a 47-yard touchdown pass from Cousins to K.J. Osborn.
The Cardinals get inside the five on their next drive and Ingram fumbles.
It was 7-7 at the end of the half.
After halftime, the Vikings opened with possession and two defensive pass interference calls got them in the red zone. They got all the way to the one-yard line but the Cardinals forced a turnover on downs.
The Cardinals did;t do anything with the ensuing possession and the Vikings missed a 56-yard field goal.
The Cardinals moved into field-goal range but Rodrigo Blankenship missed a 31-yard field goal.
In the fourth quarter, the Vikings took a 10-7 lead with a 55-yard Greg Joseph field goal.
They intercepted Kyler Murray on the Cardinals’ next drive and added a 30-yard field goal to make it 13-7.
The Cardinals didn’t score after that and the Vikings ran out the clock.
Murray had 206 passing yards and an interception. He was sacked four times. Eno Benjamin rushed for 56 yards and had three catches for 33 yards.
Rondale Moore led the team in receiving with six catches for 60 yards. DeAndre Hopkins Had five for 45 and Robbie Anderson added three for 44.
The Cardinals had three sacks. J.J. Watt had 1.5 sacks, Zach Allen had one and Markus Golden had a half sacks.
Cousins did not have a good game. He was 13-for-29 for only 155 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Dalvin Cook had 76 yards on 16 carries and Justin Jefferson was held to four receptions for 37 yards.

Left tackle D.J. Humphries might not be able to play against the Vikings.
The Arizona Cardinals announced a pair of roster moves Saturday to prepare for their road game Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. They announced that defensive lineman Antwaun Woods and offensive lineman Badara Traore were elevated from the practice squad to the active roster.
Woods will get playing time at nose tackle with Rashard Lawrence on injured reserve.
Traore is a tackle, so it casts doubt on the availability of left tackle D.J. Humphries, who is officially questionable for the game with a back injury.
If he is unable to go, Josh Jones would start at left tackle but then they wouldn’t have any tackles on the bench. That could be why Traore was elevated. It doesn’t mean Humphries is out but it gives the Cardinals some options should Humphries not be able to go on Sunday.
The Cardinals will announce their inactive list 90 minutes before their 10 a.m. Arizona time kickoff.
