It started well and it ended poorly, but in between was some great material from you, the fans, on the Arizona Cardinals loss to the Detroit Lions.
Things started out well enough for the Arizona Cardinals defensively:

This created a cavalcade of responses:

HELL YEAH LETS GOOOOOOO

Everyone was happy to start the day off:
82 yard pick six by @Jbet26...and people doubt him as a CB2. Hmm. 7-0 Cardinals. #AZvsDET

And Lions fans were not impressed:
Only the lions get a turn over and throw a pick 6 way to earn that cash Stafford #AZvsDET

Most everything was going well.

Then it all started to fall apart.
DJ Humphries slow to get up after a nice gain by David Johnson. Hope that isn't serious... #AZvsDET

Of course, Detroit was making Arizona look good.
Pick six, personal foul, sack, intentional grounding, botched punt. Worst quarter in recent memory for Lions. #AZvsDET

It was getting worse.
How do you get another set of downs in the red zone and still cannot get a TD? #AZvsDET

From there, everything just needed to be restarted...

The defense was clearly out of gas, no one could make a play.
@AZCardinals defense getting picked apart now. #AZvsDET

This pretty much summed it all up.
Unfortunately for the #AZCardinals, the negative turnover ratio and the scoreboard are finally beginning to reconcile. #AZvsDET

It is nearly impossible to win football games when you lose the turnover battle. It is also very difficult to win games when a rookie named Kenny Golladay is doing things like this:

In the end, it was too much.
Hopefully the Cardinals get things figured out, even if they have to do so without David Johnson.
