Beaks & Geeks: Cardinals, Giants Winners & Losers: Arizona on the doorstep again

Barry Shuck evaluates the Arizona Cardinals' standout performers and key shortcomings following their 36-24 road loss to the New York Giants. The Cardinals dropped to 1-2 on the season after failing to capitalize on multiple leads, culminating in a turnover at the Giants' four-yard line in the final seconds of the game.

Shuck highlights strong performances from kicker Chad Ryland, nickelback Garrett Williams, and defensive tackle Walter Nolen. However, the writer criticizes quarterback Jacoby Brissett's three interceptions, poor late-game play calling, and offensive inconsistency as decisive factors in Arizona's defeat.
