After a promising preseason Week 1 win, the Arizona Cardinals looked extremely poor against the Denver Broncos in preseason Week 2, leading to a one-sided 27-7 win for Denver.

Carter had a 5-yard run, but seven other carries totaled only five yards. He added 19 yards on five receptions. Demercado played as much as he did because of his ability as a pass protector. The running backs totaled 29 yards on 15 attempts.

The Arizona Cardinals lost their second preseason game Saturday night, a 27-7 defeat to the Denver Broncos in which they allowed 562 yards and only gained 135. They didn't play any of their starters expect for rookie cornerback Will Johnson and new linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither.

Not only is Deguara a better blocker than all three of them, but he's tougher as a receiver than Krull, has shown more in the NFL than Prieskorn, and has significantly more experience than Lohner. Plus, Deguara has the versatility to play special teams and fullback to help fill in for Adkins while he misses time.

The Broncos rested most starters, but not Evan Engram, against the Cardinals. Sean Payton explained why after the game.
