TEMPE Dalton Risner Jersey , Ariz. — in his 15 years with the Arizona Cardinals. This, though, is the first time he’s endured an 0-4 start to the season.Still, despite a sore hamstring, Fitzgerald soldiers on.“It’s not difficult at all,” he said after Thursday’s practice. “I’m a creature of habit. This is what I’ve been doing since I was 6 years old at this time of year. I don’t look at it like it’s any different. I prepare the same way every single week. There are some good weeks and some bad weeks. That’s the way it goes.”While coach Bruce Arians and quarterback Carson Palmer retired after last season, Fitzgerald chose to come back.But he’s been part of an offense that has been the worst in the NFL. With career statistics that rank among the best in the game, Fitzgerald has 15 catches for 141 yards through four games. That puts him on pace for 60 catches this season, which would be his fewest since his rookie season.By comparison, Fitzgerald matched his franchise record with 109 catches, second-most in the NFL, for 1,156 yards and six TDs a year ago. He has 325 receptions over the past three years Drew Lock Jersey , including an NFL-best 107 in 2016 and 109 in 2015.But this is a new offense under coordinator Mike McCoy, who says he wants to get the ball to Fitzgerald more as the Cardinals prepare for Sunday’s game at San Francisco.Fitzgerald is the unquestioned leader of an otherwise very young group of receivers. He doesn’t plan on changing anything.“You’ve got to stay the course, lead by example,” he said. “This doesn’t feel nearly as bad as starting 4-0 and dropping eight in a row (which happened in 2012). And so there’s always been worse scenarios. Obviously, we’re frustrated. We know we have to play better.”Fitzgerald has 2,169 career yards receiving against the 49ers, the most he has against any opponent. In NFL history, only Jerry Rice has more yards against a single opponent.“We’ve got a great opportunity this weekend,” Fitzgerald said. “This is a team that we’re familiar with in terms of personnel and what they do schematically. So there’s no better opportunity than the present one.”Fitzgerald said that, despite the offense’s problems, McCoy “has done a great job.”“It doesn’t matter what the call is honestly,” Fitzgerald. “It’s the players who are executing. We have to do a better job.”Fitzgerald and the rest of the Cardinals’ offense are encouraged by the emergence of rookie Josh Rosen at quarterback. Rosen had a strong debut in his first start in Sunday’s 20-17 loss to Seattle, even though he had five passes dropped http://www.cardinalscheapstore.com/zach-allen-jersey-cheap , two uncharacteristically by Fitzgerald.Rosen’s ability to make plays downfield should open up the mid-range passing that is Fitzgerald’s forte at this point in his career.“I think it opens up for everybody,” Fitzgerald said, “the running game, the intermediate passing game and obviously the chunk shots. We had some good chunk plays last week. Hopefully, we can continue to build on that.”Asked if he wants to be a bigger part of the offense, with more targets, Fitzgerald just shrugs the question off.“I’m never one to complain or ask for anything. If it comes my way, it comes my way,” he said. “I’m not going to lose any sleep.”Fitzgerald has been effusive in his praise of Rosen.“Even before he was starting he took a leadership role. He’s taken leadership a long time ago,” Fitzgerald said. “This is his team. He’ll be the guy here for the next 10-plus years, God willing. I love the way he’s kind of taken the reins, is vocal, lets people know exactly what he wants. He wants the best out of everybody.”Rosen has said he wants to talk Fitzgerald into playing beyond this season.When told about that Andy Isabella Jersey , the 35-year-old receiver just smiled.“Hopefully, I’ll be one of his biggest cheerleaders,” Fitzgerald said. GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Mason Crosby smiled as he left the field.It was quite the week for the Green Bay Packers‘ veteran kicker.Crosby hit four field goals, including the winner from 27 yards as time expired to lift the Packers past the San Francisco 49ers 33-30 on Monday night.“This week was a grind, it was one of the tougher weeks of my career,” Crosby said.It began with rare questions about Crosby’s reliability following four missed field goals and an extra-point try in a 31-23 loss in Detroit last week.It ended with a perfect night against the 49ers. He also hit from 29, 39 and 51 yards, and made all three extra-point attempts.“It’s very appropriate, what he went through last week, (for) the team to stick with him,” Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. “And then he responded.”The drive that led to Crosby’s winner was extended after cornerback Richard Sherman was flagged for illegal contact on third-and-15 that wiped out a sack with 43 seconds left.Rodgers rushed up the middle for a 21-yard gain on the next play. The two-time NFL MVP completed two more passes for 19 yards to set up Crosby’s winner for Green Bay (3-2-1).“It doesn’t matter if you agree with the call. It’s not like, ‘Oh Jamel Dean Jersey , I didn’t agree with the call, they’re going to pick it up.’ They called it. I’ve got to find a way to do better,” Sherman said.Other takeaways and key moments from the game:CLUTCH RODGERSRodgers threw for 425 yards and two scores, both to Davante Adams. The second came with 1:55 left from 16 yards to tie it at 30.The Packers didn’t waste a second chance to get into field-goal range after the penalty on Sherman.After a spike to stop the clock with 19 seconds left following his 21-yard scramble to the Packers 45, Rodgers hit three straight passes to move Green Bay to the San Francisco 9. The receivers got out of bounds after each of play to buy more time.“Just the time, and just really the menu (of plays) and the operation, that was a clinic,” coach Mike McCarthy said.LATE PICKC.J. Beathard passed for 245 yards and two long touchdowns to speedy receiver Marquise Goodwin for the 49ers (1-5).For a while it looked like they might hold on for their first victory since quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was lost for the year in Week 3 with a torn ACL.Turnovers hurt them again — three more on Monday night, but none bigger than cornerback Kevin King’s interception of a deep pass down the middle at the Packers 10.“Very disappointed. We had a chance to win that game,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “It hurts.”A second-year cornerback, King was locked in 1-on-1 coverage with Goodwin, who had burned the secondary all night. This time, King kept up and pulled in a ball that looked slightly underthrown by Beathard.King picked a nice time for his first career interception.“I’ve just got to stay the course D.K. Metcalf Jersey , keep doing your job, keep it going, and those types of plays are going to come,” King said.GOOD GOODWINThe Packers had 17-7 lead when Rodgers connected with Adams for a 9-yard touchdown with 1:58 left in the first quarter.Then San Francisco just brushed past Green Bay.Beathard connected with Goodwin for the 67-yard score down the middle of the field on the ensuing series.Goodwin had a 30-yard score with 6:05 left in the second. Goodwin, who finished with four catches for 126 yards, celebrated by mimicking a long jump in the end zone.Beathard was 16 of 23.NO TAKEAWAYSAnother game without a takeaway for the Niners dropped them to an NFL-worst minus-11 in turnover differential. The defense had generated a league-low three takeaways coming into the night, the fewest for the franchise after five games since 1977.RECEIVERS RUN AWAYThe Packers got the 49ers to bite on play-action early that resulted in open passes to Jimmy Graham and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.Rodgers found Valdes-Scantling for a 60-yard completion on the Packers’ first play from scrimmage, setting up Ty Montgomery’s 2-yard touchdown run with 9:20 left in the first quarter to tie the game at 7.Graham and Valdes-Scantling each finished with more than 100 yards receiving. Adams had 10 catches on 16 targets with a game-high 132 yards and two scores.It was a promising night for a passing game with receivers Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison both sidelined again with hamstring injuries.
