Rolle Reversal

Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and safety Antrel Rolle helped the Cardinals engineer a six-point swing just before halftime.

Rodgers-Cromartie blocked a 48-yard field goal attempt by Robbie Gould. Rolle, standing in the end zone, grabbed the short kick, evaded several Bears’ tacklers inside the 10-yard line and returned it 59 yards to Chicago’s 49-yard line.

Two Warner completions advanced the ball to the 25, and Neil Rackers kicked a 43-yard field goal as time expired for a 31-7 halftime lead.

The play didn’t endear Rolle to his teammates, though. He caught grief because it was Gould who tackled him.

“He grabbed my (right) foot, and that foot hasn’t been healthy lately,” said Rolle, who’s been bothered by a sore arch. “I’ve been ripped all day today by everybody.”
