| Arizona Cardinals fans are wondering where all of the big plays have gone. The dynamic offense that carried the Cardinals to the Super Bowl has morphed into one that has to plunk a short pass here and there to move the ball downfield. Then again, the bar was set very high. Remember Larry Fitzgerald had TD catches of 42 yards against Atlanta in the first round, 29 yards against Carolina in the... |

| Wide receiver Anquan Boldin and defensive tackle Darnell Dockett sat out Arizona's practice on Wednesday but say they expect to play in the Cardinals' game Sunday at Chicago.
