The Cardinals let veterans like Chandler Jones and Jordan Hicks leave in free agency, taking the gamble that Wilson, Simmons and others were ready to provide big plays. KEY NUMBER 42 — The number of points Arizona scored on Thursday night, which is the most in Kingsbury’s four-year tenure in the desert.
