TEMPE, Ariz. Keke Coutee Jersey . - This week on his weekly national radio appearance, Arizona coach Bruce Arians was asked about the possibility of benching quarterback Drew Stanton.That was the dumbest damn question Ive ever heard in my life, Arians told reporters Wednesday.The truth is, there are no options.Rookie Logan Thomas is considered a long-term project with a rocket, but erratic arm. The other quarterback is Ryan Lindley, Arizonas No. 3 at the position last season who was beaten out by Thomas in training camp and was picked up off San Diegos practice squad when starter Carson Palmer was hurt last month. Theres nobody out on the street, either, to come in and save the day.With Stanton at the controls, the Cardinals have lost two in a row to slice their lead in the NFC West to one game over Seattle. Arizonas offence went 28 consecutive possessions without a touchdown before getting one late in last weekends 29-18 loss at Atlanta.The pressure is new to Stanton, who hadnt taken a regular-season snap in four years before Palmer injured his shoulder early this season.For me, its a learning experience every time I step out on the field, he said. Ive only got a handful of starts under my belt, but at the same time I feel like Im progressing. The biggest thing is not letting these mistakes grow and really cost us out there, but learn from them and move on and hopefully dont repeat them again.Despite their two losses, the Cardinals (9-3) still are tied for the best record in the NFL going into Sundays home game against Kansas City (7-5). Stanton is 3-3 as a starter.Hes had two rough games, Arians said, but the guys around him havent played very well.Against Seattles punishing defence two weeks ago, Stanton completed 14 of 26 for 140 yards with one interception and was sacked seven times. Wide receiver Jaron Brown dropped a pass in the end zone. Against Atlanta last Sunday, he was 24 of 39 for 294 yards, many of them coming on that late seven-play, 80-yard scoring drive. He was intercepted twice.The Falcons game was a failure all around, Arians said, a listless performance by just about everyone. He has not yelled at his players this week, though.I dont want to single guys out, but we had some guys who had been playing at a very, very high level get blocked by backups, Arians said. We had guys not getting open in times where they shouldve, and not tackling. Just turn on the tape and watch the tape. The tapes embarrassing enough.It hasnt helped that Arizonas running game has been awful, compiling 64 yards in 40 carries against Seattle and 35 yards in 11 carries at Atlanta.Running back Andre Ellington, already with foot and hip problems, sustained a hip pointer (in the other hip) and didnt practice on Wednesday. Neither did two starting linemen, left tackle Jared Veldheer and right guard Paul Fanaika, with ankle injuries. If Fanaika cant go, last years first-round draft pick Jonathan Cooper would start at one of the guard spots. Cooper, coming back from a broken leg, lost his job in training camp and only recently has seen any playing time.Stanton and the rest of the offence will welcome back Larry Fitzgerald, the eight-time Pro Bowl receiver who missed the last two games with a bruised knee.Larry brings a ton of passion, and hes also a big playmaker, Arians said. Hell probably catch a couple of those high balls. Hes not dropping the one in Seattle, thats for sure. ... But, the passion and the energy, and an All-Pro player, thats hard to replace.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Martinas Rankin Jersey . The defending champions’ roller coaster season included trading offensive star Percy Harvin in the midst of the team’s 3-3 start. That move that reportedly irked several Seahawk players, but one management saw necessary to save the team’s chemistry. Houston Texans Jerseys . Freddie Roach said if the Rios fight "does not go well, we will seriously talk about his retirement," but that Pacquiao was training as well as ever for the Nov. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/Texans-Justin-Reid-Jersey/ . Carreno Busta broke his opponent five times in the match, but also lost his serve three times in the second set before prevailing in the tiebreaker. Both players struggled with their first serve, as Carreno Busta landed just 51 per cent of his to 47 per cent for Kukushkin.TEMPE, Ariz. -- Jake Waters threw for 271 yards and connected with Tyler Lockett on three touchdowns, leading Kansas State to its first bowl victory in 11 years, 31-14 over Michigan in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl on Saturday night. Kansas State (8-5) scored on its first three possessions, all touchdown passes from Waters to Lockett, and its defence dominated Michigan to end a five-game bowl losing streak. Lockett set a school record with 10 catches for 116 yards and Waters completed 21 of 27 passes, sending the Wildcats to their first bowl victory since the 2002 Holiday Bowl. Freshman Shane Morris was steady in place of injured starter Devin Gardner, leading Michigan (7-6) on two early scoring drives. The Wolverines settled for field goals on both and did little the rest of the way, finishing with 261 total yards. Morris threw for 196 yards on 24-of-38 passing with an interception before leading Michigan on a late scoring drive with the game out of reach. Michigans defence also had trouble stopping Kansas State most of the night, giving up 420 total yards Kansas State finished the season strong after some early difficulties -- starting with a home loss to FCS North Dakota State -- winning five of its final six games while scoring at least 31 points in each. Michigan limped to the finish after a 5-0 start, losing five of its final seven games and Gardner along the way. The senior injured his toe in the regular-season finale against Ohio State and didnt recover in time for the bowl game, leaving the Wolverines in the hands of Morris. The freshman hasnt played much over the past year, limited to four games as a high school senior due to mononucleosis and to nine pass attempts as Gardners backup this season. Morris didnt seem to mind being thrust into the spotlight as the first Michigan quarterback to make his first career start in a bowl game. Aaron Colvin Texans Jersey. He was helped by a conservative game plan filled with short throws early and started unleashing his big left arm by Michigans second drive, completing 15 of 19 passes for 121 yards in the first half. The problem for the Wolverines was they couldnt finish off drives, settling for field goals of 22 and 26 yards by Matt Wile. That was good for Wile, who made one field goal all season, but not for Michigan since its defence couldnt seem to stop the Wildcats -- particularly the Waters-to-Lockett combination. Kansas State set the tone on its opening drive, grinding out 75 yards in 15 plays and 7:51 off the clock. Lockett capped it with a 6-yard touchdown catch after the Wildcats line gave Waters just enough time to get the throw off against Michigans blitz. Lockett set up the next drive with a 40-yard kickoff return and capped with a 29-yard touchdown catch, set up by Waters pump fake that gave him separation behind Michigans defence. Kansas State raced down the field again on its next drive, setting up Locketts third touchdown, an 8-yarder from Waters that put the Wildcats up 21-6 at halftime. The Wildcats bogged down in the second half, but so did the Wolverines. Michigan had 23 total yards in the third quarter and failed to capitalize on the games first turnover -- a fumble by Daniel Sams -- by going three-and-out. Kansas States Ian Anderson hit a 22-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, John Hubert scored on a 1-yard run after Morris interception and the Wildcats celebrated Bill Snyders seventh bowl victory by chasing the 74-year-old coach down the sideline for a water-bucket dump.
