His second one — just before halftime — bounced off the left upright but still trickled past the crossbar for three points. “I thought the defense played their hearts out and gave us a chance. “Defense getting stops and the offense cashing in.” The Cardinals got the ball to start overtime but eventually had to punt.

What made Cardinals special teams 'special' and why nothing else ... (AZCentral.com)

Cardinals insider Bob McManaman hands out his position-by-position grades for the Cardinals following their game Sunday night against the Buccaneers.

[getting Hopkins and Brown more involved in the passing game](https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nfl/cardinals/2022/12/26/cardinals-offense-struggles-when-top-receivers-arent-part-of-it/69756876007/), and he does, but let’s cut him just a little slack since he was calling an offense with a young quarterback making his first NFL start. Pharoh Cooper had a 28-yard punt return in the fourth quarter that helped set up Conner’s rushing touchdown and give Arizona a 16-6 lead. Watt was lights out again in the first half for a second straight week, with a few run stops for no gain and at least one tackle for loss. That’s two weeks in a row I’m giving this unit an “A” and once again, it was deserving. The Buccaneers rushed for 115 yards with Fournette leading the way (20 carries for 72 yards). James Conner ran for 79 yards and a touchdown, but Arizona should have let him carry the ball more than 15 times, especially with McSorley only having worked with the first-team offense for a week.

Buccaneers Week 16 Top Performers at Arizona Cardinals (Bucs Nation)

Plenty of defensive standouts, not so much on the offensive end.

Succop’s range remains a worrisome factor, but he’s still 29 of 34 on the season and as consistent as anybody within 45 yards. Deven Thompkins had some miscues with a couple return attempts, but he undoubtedly has some juice and looks more promising than Jaelon Darden in his small sample size. Devin White continued his strong stretch of games as well with 9 total tackles and a fumble recovery. Rachaad White, for some reason, received only 11 touches but made the most of them with 53 total yards (4.8-yard average) and the team’s only touchdown. He might not be dynamic, but he’s a useful player who has played 100% of the defensive snaps back-to-back weeks. Gage finished with five catches for 65 yards total, so hopefully his injuries aren’t anything too serious and can continue contributing in the passing game.
