Corey Peters had a season-high three tackles, including a tackle for a loss, as his Arizona Cardinals thumped the New York Jets 28-3 on Monday Night Football.
Josh Forrest, linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams and former Wildcat, clocked time for the second week in-a-row Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Forrest had three combined tackles in a 31-28 loss.

Blanton, Dodgers Still Alive in MLB Playoffs
Joe Blanton continues to serve in a relief role for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who are just three wins away from the World Series. The former Wildcat right-hander played a key role in the Dodgers Division Series win over the Washington Nationals, and he and his team are hoping to get past the heavily-favored Chicago Cubs in the National League Championship Series.
