CARDINALS

on his 47-yard touchdown catch and tight end T.J. Hockenson had six catches for 131 yards and a touchdown. Hockenson, a rookie playing in his first game, showed why he was the No. 8 overall draft pick, but the Cardinals had a huge problem matching up with his combination of strength and speed.

STOCK UP

Johnson looks like he might be getting back to his 2016 form when he was an All-Pro.

He ran for 82 yards and caught six passes for 55 yards, including a 27-yard touchdown catch that really got the Cardinals’ rally going in the fourth quarter.

STOCK DOWN

Receiver Andy Isabella was the Cardinals’ secondround pick in April and expected to be a really good fit for this offense, but he was a nonfactor in the first

game. He didn’t catch a pass and it won’t get any easier when Michael Crabtree likely joins the rotation next week. He did have a role on special teams against the Lions, returning four kicks for 86 yards.

INJURED

Arizona came out of the game fairly healthy. Now the team needs some of its offensive linemen to get back so they have some depth.

Starting right tackle Marcus Gilbert and backup guard Lamont Gaillard missed the Lions game with knee injuries. Kingsbury said Gilbert would also miss Sunday’s game against Baltimore and the team was trying to determine how long he’ll be out.

Kingsbury mentioned that the Cardinals were having workouts for freeagent offensive tackles on Monday. The team also resigned Jeremy Vujnovich, two days after he was released on Saturday, to provide

depth at guard.

KEY NUMBER

82 — the number of offensive plays run by Arizona, which gained 387 total yards, threw for 308 yards and had nine third-down conversions. All of those numbers were better than any game last season.

NEXT STEPS

It’s not often a tie tastes like a win, but Arizona’s comeback on Sunday certainly had that feel.

It seems that Murray has a knack for producing in clutch moments and Kingsbury’s offense can work. Now the Cardinals actually have to do it for a full four quarters so those 18-point comebacks aren’t needed.

“We’ve just got to execute better,” Murray said. “I think at the end of the day it’s not just one person’s fault. We are out there on the field and we have to execute what he calls. It’s a learning experience, go out next week and we’ve got to do better.”
