A win’s a win, right?
The Arizona Cardinals looked miserable for nearly 3 quarters against a bad Colts team missing their starting quarterback that put out a player only acquired less than 2 weeks ago in Jacoby Brissett.
Naturally, there was some humorous content to be found with both teams struggling offensively:

Colts-Cardinals is a fascinating combination of seemingly high stakes that could not matter less.

Their red zone struggles especially seemed to be a key point especially early in the game.
So far the #Cardinals have treated the end zone goal line like a Price is Right bid. They've gotten closest without going over #AZvsIND

But, the tide seemed to turn in the 4th quarter with a long TD pass to J.J. Nelson.
J.J. Nelson, so underrated
— Jamey Eisenberg (@JameyEisenberg) September 17, 2017
#Cardinals WR J.J. Nelson now has 9 all-purpose TDs over his last 11 games and 7 TDs in his last 7.

The Cardinals rallied back only to see Phil Dawson’s kick get iced and promptly missed, sending the game to overtime.
I'm so excited for the Colts to ice Phil Dawson for the second time in 15 minutes. pic.twitter.com/VcEodsvzpg

Phil Dawson has missed two chip-shot field goals in two weeks. So much for the new clutch kicker

But then a Honey Badger INT in the first series of overtime put the Cards in position for some Phil Dawson redemption.
WATCH OUT FOR THE HONEY BADGER!

There are very few things I love more than watching the Honey Badger

So, Phil Dawson can’t botch this one up, right?
Phil Dawson has to Uber home if he misses this kick.

Wasn’t to be.
Dawson boots the 30-yarder, screams in joy. Cardinals win, 16-13, in OT.

The Cardinals took home the “W” and fans rejoiced at the victory, calling out fans who’d jumped off the bandwagon.
Here comes the Cardinals bandwagon fans that left last weekend in Detroit
