Skelton, Cards Stun Eagles
Defense, late drive provide Cardinals with 21-17 road win in Philly
John Skelton, Arizona Cardinals rally to upset Philadelphia Eagles on the road
For the past 14 months or so, the Cardinals have traveled about as well as a 14-month-old. They spit up 11 consecutive road losses in that time, often making such a mess of things that it made onlookers gag. They might have grown up a little Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. When things got bumpy, the Cardinals didn't panic and safely pulled out a 21-17 victory over the Eagles. It was the second consecutive win for the Cardinals (3-6) and snapped a road losing streak that dated to the 2010 season opener.
John Skelton states his case to be Arizona Cardinals' starting quarterback
John Skelton took a knee, and then he took the football. He clutched it during an on-field interview. He stuffed it in his locker while getting dressed. After a remarkable 21-17 victory over the Eagles, it was pretty clear that the souvenir was not leaving Skelton's possession. Question is, will he be giving back his starting job anytime soon?

Arizona Cardinals vs. Philadelphia Eagles - Recap - November 13, 2011 - ESPN
The Arizona Cardinals may have a quarterback controversy. John Skelton threw a 5-yard TD pass to Early Doucet with 1:53 left and the Cardinals rallied for a 21-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Michael Vick had another so-so performance and the Eagles (3-6) blew a fourth-quarter lead for the fifth time this season.
Arizona Cardinals vs Philadelphia Eagles Recap - November 13, 2011 - NFL - SB Nation
For the Philadelphia Eagles, it's the same tune. And, unfortunately, they can't find a different station. Larry Fitzgerald caught two touchdown passes as part of a record-setting performance and made an unbelievable over-the-head grab to set up Arizona's go-ahead score late in regulation, handing the Eagles another gut-wrenching loss, 21-17.
Another 'unbelievable' catch for Arizona Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald
Watching a receiver bend his head backward to look for a ball is an uncomfortable sight for most coaches. But when the receiver is Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt goes to a happy place. "He's unbelievable at making those catches," Whisenhunt said. Fitzgerald made one of those catches, a 37-yarder that set up the Cardinals' winning score against the Eagles on Sunday.

We can attach all the asterisks we want to the Cardinals 21-17 victory Sunday over the Eagles. Yes, the Eagles have blown leads all year. Yes, the Eagles were 3-5 entering Sunday's game. Yes, they had problems on defense, and, yes, quarterback Michael Vick has a penchant for throwing interceptions in the red zone. Yes, yes, and, uh, yes. Still, the Cardinals won, and how many expected that?

Word From the Birds Blog - Eagles aftermath
Gotta say, a long flight home always feels a little – OK, a lot – better after a victory. The mood is completely different. Two wins in a row for the first time since Week 15 and 16 of 2009. The first win on the road since the season opener in St. Louis a season ago. And as coach Ken Whisenhunt pointed out, the Cards did a couple of things Sunday in Philly they hadn’t too many times this season: Scored a TD on a final drive when it was necessary, and gotten a defensive stop to finish it off.

VIDEO: Lions, Bears Decide To Fight Because Why Not? - SBNation.com
The Detroit Lions are not having a very good day. Matthew Stafford has thrown a couple of pick sixes and his teammates aren't exactly giving him a lot of help. Perhaps frustrated with his fourth interception, Stafford took down Chicago Bears defensive back D.J. Moore while they were both in pursuit. Moore, apparently annoyed Stafford took him down by the head, reacted by pouncing on Stafford after the play had been blown dead. Unfortunately for Moore, Stafford was surrounded by teammates, who quickly got involved, starting a mini scrum in an increasingly chippy game. Here's the wonderful video.
