TEMPE, Ariz. -- They were in many ways the darlings-on-the-rise in the NFL, these Arizona Cardinals.A high-scoring big-play offense led by a blunt 60-something coach with an unusual hat and a colorful vocabulary. Their 13-3 season in 2015 was chronicled in great detail by NFL Films for the All or Nothing series on Amazon.That was added attention that you dont normally have, coach Bruce Arians said, to have a season documented when it was as special as that one was I think added to the expectations. But we dont ever shy away from the expectations.They were a group of likable personalities and nearly all of them were back this season.Every player who gained a yard or scored a point for the No. 1 offense in the NFL last season returned. Players embraced the highest of expectations.Then the whole thing fell flat.The Cardinals enter the bye week, the halfway mark of their season at 3-4-1, facing an uphill climb to even make the playoffs.It is shocking, cornerback Patrick Peterson said, As a team, we have to find a way to get out of this hole.Arizona has gone from one of the favorites to one of the leagues biggest disappointments.Ive been through a hell of a lot worse, Arians said. This is just another challenge. I love it when were the underdog. Thats the easiest coaching in the world.The fans are grumbling and inside linebacker Kevin Minter said its up to the players to band together and turn things around.Regardless of the noise outside of the locker room its really about us, Minter said. Obviously we didnt do what we wanted to do. We feel like we underachieved as well.But at the same time theres a lot of ball left. Theres still a chance for us to get hot. I would say to the people who give up on us that we havent given up on ourselves. If youre a bandwagon fan, good riddance.The offense is ranked 10th in the NFL at 374.4 yards per game, 30 yards fewer than a season ago. The big plays have been few and far between. The Cardinals are 24th in the NFL at 6.4 yards per pass attempt.Carson Palmer set a franchise record with 35 touchdown passes last season. Halfway through this season, he has 10.Defenses are scheming to take away the long throws that were Arizonas trademark. Sometimes Palmer has underthrown receivers. Sometimes the receivers have been to blame.And the personality of the offense has changed around dynamic second-year running back David Johnson. Johnson has topped 100 yards per scrimmage in every game and leads the NFL in that category (1,112). He was the NFC offensive player of the month for November.But the offense has been slow to start. The team has scored in the first quarter only once in eight games. Two trips to the East have been ugly -- one-sided losses at Buffalo and Carolina.Yet, had Chandler Catanzaro not missed two game-ending field goals, one against New England in the opener and the other, most memorably, a 24-yarder in overtime against Seattle, Arizona would be 5-3.Statistically, the Cardinals defense has been outstanding. They lead the NFL in allowing 297 yards per game.But there have been costly breakdowns. Now the team will be without do-everything defensive back Tyrann Mathieu for up to five weeks with a shoulder injury.Left tackle Jared Veldheer, the anchor of the offensive line, is out for the season with a torn triceps, with little-used John Wetzel stepping in. The team already had lost right guard Evan Mathis for the season with an ankle injury.Palmer had his best passing game of the season in the 30-20 loss to Carolina, but was sacked eight times.And the schedule is rough. After a home game against San Francisco next Sunday, the Cardinals play at Minnesota and Atlanta.Five of Arizonas final seven are on the road, including a Dec. 24 game at Seattle in a rematch of teams that played to that bizarre 6-6 tie.At 4-2-1, the Seahawks arent running away with the NFC West. That offers the Cardinals a whiff of hope. There also is a pack of teams just ahead of them in the wild-card race.For us to kind of still be in it with the record we have is a blessing, Minter said. We can still be the top seed out of this division. So dont give up on us. Thats all I have to say.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL MLB Jerseys 2020 . 8 Kansas to a 64-63 win over Texas Tech on Tuesday night. The freshman from Vaughan, Ont.

The North American NP started out strong, with the team finding early kills on Zhang LaNm Zhichengs Undying. Though EHOMEs cores farmed hard to keep up with NP, the kills never went the right way for the Chinese qualifier squad. Team NP closed the game out in 29 minutes at a 22-3 kill differential.EHOME, on its potential last match of The Summit 6, went to tried-and-true picks like Wang old chicken Zhiyongs Juggernaut and Ren eLeVeN Yangweis Sand King. Though some early deaths on NPs supports kept EHOME at an even pace, Rens Sand King died too frequently and so EHOME struggled to take fights in the mid-game. The net worth graph spiked in NPs directions after a few teamfight victories, and it never swung back. Team NP eliminated EHOME from The Summit 2-0, and continue on to face EG.Digital Chaos, the runner-up from Augusts The International 6, found itself in the lower bracket against Team Faceless, an intimidating lineup to say the least. DC looked confident, though, last-picking a Meepo for Aliwi w33 Omar that paid off in spades.

At 11 minutes in and a 15-3 kill differential in favor of OG, VP forfeited and got ready for the next match.Game 2 was another quick contest, this time in favor of Virtus.pro. Magnusson struggled in the offlane against Roman RAMZES666 Kushnarevs Bloodseeker, and a last-pick Chen for Ilya Lil Ilyuk took OG by surprise, as their draft was unable to contest the march of jungle creeps. VP secured the win in 24 minutes and took the series to Game 3.On match point, a four-role Weaver pick for Ilyuk earned VP an early lead against OG, but the combo of Magnussons Bat and Vainikkas Earth Spirit turned a few fights to OGs advantage. The cores of OG struggled to keep pace with Kushnarevs Drow though, and an Aghanims Scepter pickup for Ilyuks Weaver made it nearly impossible for OG to find kills or Lassos.
