"It's going to be a great matchup," Bradford said. "It's going to be fun to watch."

"Everson Griffen is,Wholesale Shoes Uk, I think, one of the most underrated defensive ends in the league," Arians said, going on to praise Vikings defensive end Brian Robison and defensive tackle Linval Joseph.
"He doesn't hold back. He tells you the truth. He doesn't sugarcoat things," Palmer said. "If you need to do better, you better do better or else he's going to replace you, and he's serious about things like that. There are no politically correct-type statements. He's very cut and dried, and what you see is what you get."
And Zimmer did not play favorites, Palmer said.
"This is a big, big test," Arians said.
FITZGERALD THEATER: Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald will play in his home city for the fifth time in his 13-year career. He has never won in Minnesota.
PRAISE FROM PALMER: Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer's respect for and insight into Zimmer's character and personality run deep. They were together from 2008 through 2010 in Cincinnati, where Zimmer was the defensive coordinator. Palmer said he sees parallels between Zimmer and Cardinals coach Bruce Arians, both of whom didn't get a head coach position until late in their careers.
GO-TO GUY: Minnesota's Stefon Diggs, who's tied for fourth in the league with 61 receptions, caught 13 passes in each of the past two games to set an NFL record. Three players share the all-time mark of 36 catches over a three-game span, with Pittsburgh's Antonio Brown the most recent to get there.
The Arizona Cardinals won't be the ideal visitors on Sunday. Though they've been one of the NFC's many underperformers and yet to win a game outside of the Pacific time zone, the Cardinals (4-4-1) are plenty dangerous on both sides of the ball. They have their own urgency to catch up in the conference playoff race while starting a final stretch with five of seven games on the road .
TACKLE'S CHALLENGE: John Wetzel had his first start at left tackle in Arizona's win over San Francisco last week and held his own in place of Jared Veldheer, who is out for the season with a torn triceps. Facing a tough defensive front in a loud stadium at Minnesota is another matter.

He's third in the NFL in completion percentage and fifth in interception percentage, still yet to be picked off in a home game.

"Everybody's held accountable, whether you're the best player on the team or the guy that's just about to get cut," Palmer said. "That's something that guys really respect, I know."
"Right now, there's pressure on everybody," Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. "My dad told me a long time ago, 'If you make it through the downs, the ups will take care of itself.' So we're just going to keep doing what we do. If we get backed up into a corner, we're going to come out and fight."
There's no doubt,Discount Air Max 720, then, who will be responsible for containing Diggs: Peterson, whose 19 interceptions since he entered the league in 2011 are third most during that span. That's despite many quarterbacks deciding to throw away from the place on the field occupied by the three-time All-Pro.
