The Arizona Cardinals lost 20-13 at home to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. It was a disappointing but not surprising result.

The NFL has seen a number of wins by teams that weren't expected. In this edition of the podcast, Howard Balzer explains why nothing should ever surprise us in the NFL.

He also addresses the Cardinals' loss and talks about two key areas that led to the problems – third downs and the running game.

They haven't achieved anything in the running game of their running backs either. He gives the numbers.
