TEMPE Markus Golden Jersey 2019 , Ariz. (AP) — ona Cardinals with a home loss to Oakland.Embattled first-year coach Steve Wilks is mulling some changes, although he didn't say what they were, and there's only so much the Cardinals can do considering their injuries and the overall state of their roster."Right now, being 2-8, you're open to a lot of things from a standpoint of personnel changes, things that you think will give us an opportunity to be successful and win a football game," Wilks said at his Monday news conference. Sunday's 23-21 loss left three teams tied for the worst record in the NFL: the Cardinals, Oakland and San Francisco. And the remaining schedule is formidable for the Cardinals.They play at the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, followed by a trip to Green Bay the following week. There are also games at Atlanta and the season finale at Seattle. Arizona has only two remaining home games — Dec. 9 against Detroit and Dec. 23 against the Los Angeles Rams.The Cardinals' chances for many more, if any, victories seem slim, especially if play doesn't improve."It's not playing smart Black Josh Rosen Jersey , just beating ourselves," veteran safety Antoine Bethea said after the game. "That's the most frustrating thing about it. Week in and week out, it's just like the same thing."A positive aspect of the mistake-laded Arizona effort was the continued resurgence of David Johnson.The dynamic back rushed for a season-best 137 yards, 53 of them on a run that set up Josh Rosen's 5-yard TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald that put Arizona up 21-20 with 5:02 to play. Johnson had a 57-yard touchdown run called back by a holding call against tight end Ricky Seals-Jones.It was one of several Arizona mistakes in the game's final minutes. Jermaine Gresham was called for unnecessary roughness and Josh Bynes dropped an interception.The Cardinals allowed Oakland, with no timeouts, to drive 63 yards in the final 1:53, setting up Daniel Carlson's decisive 35-yard field goal as the game ended.Rosen threw for three touchdowns — two to Fitzgerald — but was intercepted twice, both picks leading to first-half touchdowns. Rosen had only nine completions in 20 attempts for 136 yards."I think a lot of it is just the mental errors across the board on offense and defense," Rosen said of the team's performance. "I know I had a bunch. Just little mental errors that aren't a part of the game plan. Dumb little things we just have to clean up overall."Why is a team making those mistakes 10 games into a season? Nobody seemed to have a good answer."That's why it's an issue that was brought up because it's very late in the season," Rosen said. "That's a good point."It's been a rough introduction for Wilks to life as an NFL head coach."No. 1, you have to learn how to persevere," he said. "It's tough. You have to learn how to hit the reset button and not linger on things because Josh Rosen Jersey 2019 , once again, one loss can turn into two. I try to pull out the positives and try to learn from the negative stuff and try to get those guys to see the big picture."Wilks said he knew it would be a tough job when he was hired."Did I expect to be where we are? No, but again you have to learn how to persevere" he said. "You have to learn how to continue to push and be that example. I am not going to quit. That's what I just told the guys, and neither are they. We're going to find a way to get on track and win a football game."Arizona was last 2-8 in 2006. That team finished 5-11 and coach Dennis Green was fired.Notes: The Cardinals released kicker Matt McCrane, who had been signed Saturday and was active for the Raiders game in place of Phil Dawson, who had been bothered by a hip injury. Dawson is fine and will be back this week, Wilks said. … Wilks said LB Deone Bucannon sustained a chest contusion in the game and it's not known how much time he might miss. ATLANTA — Julio Jones made an acrobatic touchdown catch on a pass from Matt Ryan, Deion Jones returned an interception for an early score, and the Atlanta Falcons snapped a five-game losing streak with a 40-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.The Falcons (5-9) forced three turnovers and sacked Arizona’s Josh Rosen seven times, a single-game season high for both teams. Arizona (3-11) has dropped two straight and five of six under first-year coach Steve Wilks.Julio Jones caught six passes for 82 yards, all in the first half. His 22-yard score in the closing seconds before intermission put the Falcons up 26-7. Jones beat Patrick Peterson‘s bump-and-run coverage down the left sideline, turning the cornerback around and twisting around him to make a diving catch.Ryan ran for a 1-yard score early the second quarter and finished with 231 yards passing. Matt Bryant added two short field goals and Tevin Coleman had a 43-yard TD run in the third quarter as Atlanta won for the first time since Week 9 at Washington.Grady Jarrett had two of the Falcons’ season-high seven sacks Deionte Thompson Arizona Cardinals Jersey , and Arizona’s run defenses allowed 215 yards to the NFL’s worst rushing attack.Playing behind a makeshift offense line that has lost six players to injured reserve, Rosen was under duress all afternoon and finished with a 38.4 passer rating.He got the Cardinals off to a fast start with running back David Johnson catching two long passes to set up a short TD run that made it 7-0, but Arizona was essentially done after Deion Jones scored a touchdown for the third time in eight career interceptions. In his fourth game back after spending most of the season sidelined by a foot injury, Jones forced a 7-all tie in the first quarter, snagging Vic Beasley‘s batted ball from the air and running 41 yards for Atlanta’s second defensive TD of the season.The third-year linebacker spent the first part of the game covering Johnson and was in the left flats shading the running back when Beasley tipped Rosen’s pass.QUESTIONS IN THE DESERTIt feels like a couple of months have passed since Arizona enjoyed a season highlight under Wilks, a 20-17 win at Green Bay two weeks ago.The Cardinals were flat last week at home against Detroit and gave themselves almost no chance at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Even with so many injuries, the performance was so uninspiring that Wilks might be wondering if he will return for a second season.Arizona showed why it began the day with the league’s worst scoring offense, worst passing attack and second-worst ground game.KEY INJURIESCardinals cornerback David Amerson left the game with concussion symptoms and didn’t return after colliding with Falcons receiver Mohamed Sanu in the first.Johnson ran 11 times for 33 yards as he played with a sore quadriceps.UP NEXTCardinals host the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday.
