[quote name='BigAT']This was a game that was dominated by the Cardinals' special teams and defense. I only had 104 yards of total offense, but didn't need anything more than that, as I'm pretty sure all 34 of my points came off of turnovers.
It started after I got shut down on my first offensive possession and had to punt. Ricky Manning rocked Reggie Bush on a punt that probably should have been fair caught, causing him to fumble. What happened from there was bullshit though. One of CommanderZero's players jumped on the ball and was on top of it for a good second or two before Manning was able to get up and dive on it, initiating the fight for the fumble, which I managed to win. Any other year of Madden he would have easily recovered the ball and maintained possession. Instead, Darren Sproles scored a TD on the very next play.
On the Rams' next possession, I brought pressure up the middle which caused Tom Brady to get rid of the ball as he got hit. Tyjuan Hagler managed to quickly snag the ball out of the air and return it for a touchdown:

Another interception late in the second quarter set me up on the 20 with :04 left in the half, giving me an easy field goal as time expired. In total, Brady got intercepted 5 times, 3 of which were returned for touchdowns. Of course, Asante Samuel got in on the action:

Cardinals - 34
Rams - 7

That was pretty much it. I was still hanging around until the disaster that was the last 1 minute before halftime. And yeah the fumble recovery was bs. I mean my guy landed on the ball and manning was 2 yards behind him. I've seen that not generate fight for the fumble in this years Madden. but this was not why I lost. Basically it was me throwing out the game plan after I got behind. And fantastic secondary play on your part. GG man We will meet again this season and hopefully I'll put up more of a fight.
