The Cardinals have deferred to the second quarter, if not the second half, all season.

They trail the Bills 10-0 at the end of the first, their third straight first quarter without a point this season.

The Bills outgained them 142-2 in first quarter yards, with a 24-yard touchdown run by LeSean McCoy padding their early lead.

Quarterback Carson Palmer is 1-of-9 passing for 3 yards so far.

Granted, the Cards scored 24 in the second quarter last week, en route to a 40-7 win over the Buccaneers. So it’s probably too soon to panic. Wait, who are we kidding? It’s never too early to panic.
