NFC West, 1-0

Unfortunately for the Cardinals, talent player Andre Ellington will miss the next few weeks due to a PCL injury. Expect a heavier dose of Chris Johnson, who ran for a serviceable 37 yards on 10 carries in Week 1. And keep an eye out for Northern Iowa rookie David Johnson, who burned past the Saints for a 55-yard touchdown on Sunday.
