This victory will be a great boost for them, after going down in the first game of the season. They will be feeling quite confident of competing well against the Saints, this Sunday.

Carson Palmer and Rashard Mendenhall were the standout performers for the Cardinals in the 2nd game. Much will depend on these two players, in the 3rd game. The Saints completed another good victory, as they overcame the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by a margin of 16-14 in their last game. The Saints have come out with a purpose in this season, and their purpose will be well served, if they manage to secure their 3rd consecutive victory, this week. Drew Brees was the main man behind the Saints success in the early part of this season. He will be quite confident of continuing with the same form, this Sunday.
