Larry Fitzgerald told the media during his session on Thursday.

Fitzgerald mentioned that adjustments have to be made for the upcoming game, “Execution on third down wasn’t as high as we’d like it (against New England), in the second half we picked it up at a higher level, but we have to be able to start early, sustain drives and keep our defense on the sidelines.”

Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians mentioned that the team is up to the challenge as it faces a team with some momentum coming into Sunday’s game, “They know the challenge that is ahead of them right now, it’s a good football team coming in here, a team that has a lot of confidence and they should after beating a very good team on the road last week.”

The Buccaneers beat the Falcons on Monday 31-24.
