Boyd’s 1997 Replay Game 96 (Week 8) Arizona at Philadelphia

Cardinals finally get in the win column

QB Jake Plummer has made a big difference in the offense of the Arizona Cardinals. He made his first start as the Cardinals QB and made their offense a lot more explosive. Plummer threw for 271 yards and 3 TDs including an 80-yard bomb to Rob Moore to tie the game midway through the 4th quarter at 24.

Then Plummer orchestrated two drives that resulted in two Joe Nedney field goals that was the difference in the game and gave the Cardinals their first win of the season, 30-24.

Rob Moore has ascended to one of the top receivers in the game as he caught five passes for 136 yards and 2 TDs. He now has 59 receptions on the season for 917 yards and 6 TDs in just 7 games.

The Eagles have now lost two in a row and are 2-5 on the season, which is a far cry from being a top team in the NFC a year ago. They will face the struggling Cowboys at home next week.

The Cardinals will host the Tennesse Oilers next week.
