Baltimore Ravens
Steve Smith (Wide Receiver): Steve Smith was shut down for a large portion of the night by cornerback Patrick Peterson. Smith only hauled in 5 out of 9 targets for 78 yards.
Justin Forsett (Running Back): Forsett got into the end zone but did not get a lot of work as the Ravens were behind most of the game. Forsett finished the day with 12 rushing attempts for 36 yards and a touchdown; he also caught 3 out of 4 targets for 8 yards.
Arizona Cardinals
Carson Palmer (Quarterback): Palmer had a great game completing 20 of 29 passes for 275 yards and 2 touchdowns. Palmer will continually be a QB1 as the season goes along.
John Brown/Michael Floyd/Larry Fitzgerald (Wide Receivers): Fitzgerald fell to the way side this week as he only caught 3 of his 5 targets for 39 yards. Floyd and Fitzgerald on the other hand had monstrous days. Floyd caught 3 out of 4 targets for 59 yards and a touchdown while Brown caught 4 out of 6 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown. Floyd is looking like an every week target for Palmer and this Cardinals offense.
Chris Johnson/David Johnson/Andre Ellington (Running Backs): Johnson had a magnificent 60 plus yard run that accounted for most of his yards but he has shown the veteran awareness that make him such a great lead back. The other Johnson on the roster competed against Andre Ellington for carries which made them both rather ineffective. Ellington had 5 attempts for 21 yards and caught 3 of his 4 targets for 28 yards while D. Johnson caught both of his targets for 19 yards and ran the ball 3 times for 5 yards.
