GLENDALE, Ariz. — Cardinals defensive end Antonio Smith’s safety of quarterback Matt Ryan to give Arizona a 30-17 lead with just more than 12 minutes remaining, continued the Cardinals’ dominance of the left side of Atlanta’s offensive line. Smith and Bertrand Berry have had their way with tackles Sam Baker and Todd Weiner, who rotate because of injuries to each.
Baker, who is coming off back surgery, has really struggled in pass protection but it was Weiner who got beat by Smith on the safety.
