NFL Thursday Night Football tracker: Cardinals host Saints in DeAndre Hopkins' return

The Arizona Cardinals have struggled to a 2-4 start, but they're about to add some big-time firepower. Star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is set to return from a six-game PED suspension, and Kyler Murray and the offense need the injection of skill. Will it help them beat the New Orleans Saints? Follow all the action below with Yahoo Sports. GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Cardinals were slow to line up, the play clock kept running, and Kliff Kingsbury started to get irritated. Standing on the sideline late in Thursday night’s second quarter, the Arizona coach swirled his right hand as if to say, No use. On first-and-goal, the Cardinals called timeout. Kingsbury yelled in anger. So did Kyler Murray. As the Arizona quarterback walked to the sideline, he told the coach in colorful language that he needed to calm down. Keaontay Ingram first scored on a two-yard touchdown run immediately after Murray and Kingsbury exchanged words, before Saints quarterback Andy Dalton threw two interceptions, both returned for touchdowns, to see the Cards suddenly up 28-14 at the break. The first pick six wasn't necessarily Dalton's fault, with Saints receiver Marquez Callaway bobbling a potential catch, allowing for Marco Wilson to pluck it out of the air and sprint 38 yards before diving into the endzone. But the second one was an ugly heavy by the quarterback that was sensationally picked off by Isaiah Simmons one-handed and returned 56 yards for the score.
