Arizona Cardinals Turn to Quarterback Josh Rosen in 4th Quarter Against Chicago Bears

"I felt we needed a spark," said Arizona coach Steve Wilks. "We took a quick start – 14 points – we had a little stagnation there and we wanted to try to provoke the team.That's why I made the decision . "

After Wilks whispered something in Bradford's ear after losing his fumble with 11:33 to play, quarterback coach Byron Leftwich headed to Rosen and said, "Prepare you remember, "recalls Rosen. A few minutes later, Rosen took the field.

Bradford left the match with 157 yards in 13 of 19 passes and two touchdowns. He had also launched two interceptions and lost a fumble.

"It's the decision of the coach," Bradford said. "I respect his decision – more than anything, I'm just disappointed to have put the team in such a bad place today."

Rosen completed three of his six passes for 27 yards on his first try, but intercepted a fourth and fifth time with 1:10 to play. The Cardinals recovered the ball one last time, Rosen completing a 9-yard pass to Christian Kirk and rushing for 12 before taking a bag at the end of the allotted time.

"I thought it looked very good, inconsistent in the end," Wilks said. "We have to do a good job, a forced protection, give him time.But in the circumstances, right away, thrown into the game at that time, I thought that he had done well."

Rosen said his goal was to move the Cardinals on the field for a goal on the field. Even though it did not happen on Sunday, Rosen said, "I hope I'll find my groove."

Wilks would not enter a quarter for next week's game against the Seattle Seahawks after Sunday's loss, saying he wants to evaluate two quarters before making a decision.

"That's a lot of things coming into play, and it's too early to go now," Wilks said. "You have to look at each situation, how are we playing at the front, how are we doing, all of this, from the point of view of execution and trying to make sure that guys are well positioned at all levels.

"I'm going to watch everything for me to make the right decision for this team."

On Sunday, Rosen was not disappointed with his game in his brief appearance, but felt he could have done better.

"I do not know, sort of," Rosen said. "I guess you could say I'm a little happy to understand and feel a real NFL game, but I could certainly play a lot better.

"So, I'm looking forward to improving in the coming weeks."

Cardinals offensive action continued Sunday afternoon against the Bears, even after the size of the playbook was reduced to a size easier to understand and manage.

The Cardinals attack was marked by two touchdowns in the first quarter. After that, he stopped slowly. The offensive did not gain ground in the second quarter and only gained 30 points in the third quarter without marking another point. What ended Bradford's day was the fumbling he lost after trying to fight a broken game early in the fourth quarter.

Bradford thought that he was putting the Cardinals "in a bad position" in the second half.

"A little bit the same thing, it seemed to be," said Bradford. "We did not convert a third duel.The next thing you know, is that you look, and it's at halftime, and we played 15 times." I'm not sure from what happened after this beginning, I went much better the first reader. "

Sunday's performance was a continuation of the bad play of the first two weeks' attack, while he scored only six points. By going to the contest, Arizona has ranked last in the NFL in yards per game, exceeding yards per game and game, the first tries per game, the third percentage, the average time of possession and points per game.
