— The Jets are vulnerable against the run, allowing more than 132 rush yards a game. They have a good pass rush and back end, so you figure a) the Cardinals are going to try and get James Conner rolling and b) the Jets could load up against the run, opening the door for a bigger passing game for Kyler Murray. That’s what happened in Miami.
— Conner continues to lead the league in missed tackles forced: 62.
— Murray echoed the famous “The Sixth Sense” line when he was talking about being “sacked” by center Hjalte Froholdt to snap the Cardinals’ sackless streak after three games. Froholdt was trying to double back to block someone as Murray hit him, essentially taking the QB down.

— The Cardinals were a minus-2 in turnovers against the Bears. In their history, they were only 36-314 in such games, and Sunday’s was the first time ever they won such a game by at least 20 points.

— After the hiccup game in Green Bay, in which they had 13 accepted penalties, the Cardinals are back to being tied with the fewest in the NFL, with just 41 all season. The Bengals also only have 41, with…
