Kansas City Chiefs vs. Arizona Cardinals: Live Score and Analysis for Arizona

A big second half from the Arizona Cardinals defense and just enough timely offense led the way for a comeback to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in this Week 14 matchup. It was rough at times, but the Cardinals (10-3) walked away with their 10th win of the season on their third try at the elusive double-digit win.

Cornerback Antonio Cromartie left the game in the fourth quarter with what was originally reported as an Achilles injury. The good news here is that it's not the all-important tendon:

Quarterback Drew Stanton was up and down in this game. He nearly threw about three interceptions, but luckily all fell to the turf. The star on offense was little-known running back Kerwynn Williams, who rushed 19 times for 100 yards (5.3 yards per carry) on a solid defense.

There were two turning points in the game, both of which came from the defense. First, outside linebacker Alex Okafor picked off Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith to set up the go-ahead touchdown pass from Stanton to receiver Jaron Brown. Then, rookie Deone Bucannon stripped tight end Travis Kelce as Kansas City was entering the red zone with time winding down.

It appeared the Chiefs would at least tie the game at 17 with a field goal, if not take the lead.

Instead, Arizona got the ball and won the game.

The Cardinals are 10-3 and still sit atop the NFC this week. They have a short week, however, as they travel to St. Louis to face the rival Rams. That is the biggest game of the season for Arizona.
