Falcons host Cardinals in pivotal NFC clash (Yahoo Sports)

It's a chance for the Falcons to extend their slim lead in the NFC South over the Buccaneers, Saints and Panthers. Asked if his team had a sense of urgency, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians, who had to spend a night in the hospital because of chest pains following his team's latest loss -- a 26-20 defeat at Minnesota -- just scowled. The Cardinals have been searching for answers all season after a 13-3 regular season a year ago in which the offense set multiple franchise records and quarterback Carson Palmer was in the conversation for MVP candidacy upon setting several career firsts.
