Cardinals overpowered in loss to Lions but might not be far from their next step

GLENDALE, Ariz.

Three weeks in the NFL do not always reveal much.

There are exceptions, usually consisting of established contenders or those stuck in massive rebuilds.

The Arizona Cardinals are caught somewhere in the middle.

A team trying to take the next step.

The Cardinals want to be a violent, physical football team.

They got a strong look at one in Sundays 20-13 loss at State Farm Stadium.

The Detroit Lions controlled the line of scrimmage, running the ball when they needed to and limiting the Cardinals on the other side.

It was the difference in the game, but it also might have shown Arizona is not far away..
