Jeremiyah Love Slammed His Helmet, And The Cardinals Are Down 14-0 In A Sloppy Mess

Jeremiyah Love, the Cardinals’ running back, got absolutely rocked on the final play of the first half, appearing to get his right ankle rolled on by Cowboys linebacker Shemar James. His team is already trailing the Cowboys 14-0 in what’s being described as a seriously sloppy game. Talk about a bad break at the worst possible time.

Love’s Return Is A Question Mark, His Frustration Is Not

This hit was brutal. Love was caught high and low by James and safety P.J. Locke, and it looked nasty when James rolled over his right ankle. Love tried to jog off the field, but you could tell the pain was real when he slammed his helmet to the ground on the sideline. He spent eleven minutes in the medical tent before heading to the X-ray room, and the Cardinals have officially listed him as questionable to return. This is a huge concern, especially since Love just returned to practice this week after missing two games with a sprained left ankle. And let’s not forget, the third overall pick *also* injured his right ankle during the preseason. You just hate to see it.

Cardinals Digging A Hole, Cowboys Capitalizing

It’s been a tough half for the Cardinals, and the Cowboys have taken full advantage of the sloppy play. Dallas is up 14-0, and their scores weren’t exactly works of art. Backup tight end James Mitchell actually recovered a Javonte Williams fumble in the end zone for one touchdown. Then, Ryan Flournoy caught a 9-yard touchdown pass to put them up by two scores. The Cardinals just can’t seem to get anything going, and now they’re missing their key running back.

This is a massive hole to dig out of, especially with their star back possibly done for the day and the team playing so poorly. Can the Cardinals somehow turn this around and clean up their act after the break, or is this game already a write-off? We’ll see what happens when they come back out.
