GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Observed and heard in the locker room after the Arizona Cardinals' 30-20 victory over Washington:
Brace bothers the Honey Badger: Safety Tyrann Mathieu said he felt a “bit restricted” on Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson’s 64-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter because he was wearing a knee brace.
Lingering injury: Defensive tackle Frostee Rucker had an ice pack on his left calf after re-injuring it in the first half Sunday. He left the game but eventually returned.
Change of heart: While safety Rashad Johnson was returning the second of two interceptions, which he scored on, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians was on the sideline yelling for Johnson to get down. Then he changed his tune. “I’m hollering, 'Get down ... nah ... go ahead and score,'" Arians said.
