The Arizona Cardinals lost their second straight by double digits on Sunday, falling to the Cincinnati Bengals 34-20 at State Farm Stadium.
They started slowly, fell behind 10, came back but then had no answer for Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase.

STUD: Hollywood Brown
He wasn’t perfect, as he had a terrible drop in garbage time in the fourth quarter, but he beat his defender consistently on Sunday. He finished with four receptions for 61 yards.
DUD: QB Josh Dobbs
Dobbs, after three straight games with a passer rating of at least 99, looked like a limited backup.
He turned the ball over three times, was sacked three times and completed less than 50% of his passes.
STUD: DL Dante Stills
Stills picked up his first NFL sack and flashed other times. He finished with six tackles, the sack and two tackles for loss.
STUD: S K'Von Wallace
Wallace said after the game he played below the expected standard, but he wasn’t the problem. He had an interception and multiple great plays near the goalline.
DUD: CB Marco Wilson
Wilson did lead the team with 11 tackles. However, he was the primary defender covering Ja’Marr Chase with his 15-catch, three-TD performance. Wilson did not get his hand on a ball on Sunday. He was far from a reliable CB1.
