 TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - A weekend in Mexico turned out to be just what the Arizona Cardinals needed. They were a happy bunch Monday, with an NFL record for kicker Neil Rackers, a career game for quarterback Josh McCown and new belief in coach Dennis Green's slingshot theory about making up ground.
Green came to believe during his decade with Minnesota that the games before and after the bye week are two of the most important in a season.
"We always like to emphasize understanding the importance of getting the slingshot," he said. "I think the ability of to win going into the bye week and the ability to win coming out can be a slingshot for you."
