Bradlee Van Pelt’s first play didn’t happen — a false-start penalty on Chris Kuper knocked the Broncos back five yards. A pair of 4-yard Tatum Bell runs followed before an incompletion ended the drive.

That series saw extended action continue for Nate Jackson, Chris Kuper, Chris Myers, Greg Eslinger, Cecil Sapp and Dwayne Carswell; all have been in the lineup for a majority of the snaps since the game’s opening moments.

Micah Knorr — who handled the second-half-opening kickoff — shanked the punt, but a fortuitous bounce and Michael Spurlock’s inability to field it cleanly turned the play into a net of 44 yards, although Arizona did recover the loose football.

Two minutes later, the Bronocos forced the Cardinal’s first punt of the game, which Charlie Adams fielded before darting and dodging his way to a solid 16-yard return.

And now at running back … Cedric Cobbs.
