DeAndre Hopkins, 78; Rondale Moore, 77; A.J. Green, 37; Greg Dortch, 20; Robbie Anderson, 7
It is a surprise to see Green play so much after getting zero snaps in Week 7. Basically, Hopkins and Moore never leave the field and then the Cardinals attempt to mix and match the other three.
Anderson’s role decreased, although he was targeted three times in those seven snaps.

Zach Ertz, 69; Trey McBride, 20; Stephen Anderson, 3
As has been the trend all season, Ertz rarely comes off the field and McBride has a specific role. He struggled again, picking up two consecutive holding penalties in one possession in the second half.

Josh Jones, 78; Cody Ford, 78; Billy Price, 78; Will Hernandez, 78; Kelvin Beachum, 78
In a nice change, no one got hurt so none of the linemen ever had to come out of the game.
