Arizona’s season has begun going downhill, but Coach Bruce Arians is not panicking. "When you stink, you stink," Arians said in the wake of his team’s second consecutive defeat. "You point out how you stunk and get it corrected."
Addition of veteran TE could be big for Kansas City Chiefs - ESPN
Through the first eight games, the Chiefs went with three tight ends on 56 plays, more than all but three other teams. Quarterback Alex Smith on those 56 plays completed 22-of-25 passes. That's an 88-percent completion rate. Those passes had a per-attempt average of 8.6 yards, and four of them went for touchdowns. Those numbers are well beyond what Smith does when throwing the ball with other personnel groupings.
Ellington suffered a hip pointer in last week's game. He did not practice at all last week. That means Stepfan Taylor will get the start and the carries at the position will be split between he and Marion Grice...and might also include Robert Hughes and Kerwynn Williams.

Game Preview: Kansas City Chiefs at Arizona Cardinals - ESPN
I think most of the offensive issues stem from Stanton, but you can’t place all of Arizona’s recent problems on him. Sure, he’s making poor decisions and throwing balls too high or too low -- that’s to be expected when a quarterback is essentially still in his rookie season in terms of starts. But blame also has to fall on the receivers for not catching some of his mistakes. Then there’s the running game. The Cardinals are averaging a league-low 3.1 yards per rush, and without a good running attack, the passing game suffers. And without a good passing game, the running game suffers. There’s no one person to blame, but there’s a lot of issues to be fixed.
