Jonathan Gannon could hardly bring himself to move. He flinched only to cross and uncross his arms. His feet remained planted on the turf beside the 40-yard line, his stare dead forward. With each play, his face darkened a shade closer to the challenge flag in his right pocket.

But that was the only thing right the Cardinals did offensively. They finished 4-for-11 on third down but that doesn’t tell the story. They only converted on one of their first eight. They went 3-for-3 after the Commanders went up 35-14.
