TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona coach Bruce Arians was candid as usual when he was asked what would have happened had the Cardinals lost at home to the San Francisco 49ers.Its over, he said.But the Cardinals escaped with a 23-20 victory on Sunday, Chandler Catanzaro kicking a 34-yard field goal as time expired to win it.At 4-4-1, Arizona can still make a push toward a playoff berth, but the going will be tough.The Cardinals play five of their remaining seven games on the road, beginning with a trip to Minnesota on Sunday.Cant even think about five out of seven, Arians said at his Monday news conference. If we just think about them one at a time, well be fine. This is a great new stadium (at Minnesota). Very, very loud, so well have our hands full.Larry Fitzgerald was having an MRI on his sore knee but Arians said that was just a precaution.Arians said Fitzgerald and outside linebacker Alex Okafor (calf) have a chance to practice Wednesday or Thursday.As for the possibility of Fitzgerald sitting out Sundays game, I would be shocked if he misses a game at home, Arians said.Fitzgerald was born in Minnesota and grew up there.He caught 12 passes for 133 yards against the 49ers, his first 100-yard game this season and 42nd of his career.I wish I could have done it with less targets (18), Fitzgerald said after the game. You give me 18 targets in 2006, I might have had 200 yards.It was the first time in his long career that the 33-year-old receiver had double digit catches in consecutive games. Fitzgerald caught 10 passes in Arizonas previous game, a loss at Carolina.He acknowledged he was hurting, but hes long been accustomed to playing with pain.You dont play 13 years without it, Fitzgerald said. Its football. Youre going to get banged up. Its just part of it. Theres a difference between being hurt and being injured. A lot of guys are hurting.Fitzgerald has missed six games in his 13 NFL seasons.Theres a chance the Cardinals will have do-everything defensive back Tyrann Mathieu back this week. Mathieu injured his shoulder against Carolina and sat out Sundays win.Well just see how he is, Arians said. His strengths back. Its good. So hell be cleared to go and I want to see him practice and see how he looks.If he does come back, it might be without the knee brace that has slowed him this season. Mathieu was without the brace when he was running during a portion of a practice last week that was open to the media.Its about the time we had talked about the brace leaving, so Im not sure, Arians said. Again, thats going to be up to him.Arians said he hasnt decided who the team will lift from the injured list. NFL rules allow a team to bring one player back from the disabled list. Running back Chris Johnson and safety Tyvon Branch are the leading candidates. Both would be eligible to practice this week but couldnt play until the Dec. 4 home game against Washington.The Cardinals were rooting hard for New England on Sunday night but the Patriots came up just short in a loss to Seattle. The Seahawks remain two games up on Arizona in the NFC West. The Cardinals best shot at a playoff berth might be as a wild card. They are just behind a number of teams in those standings, including the Vikings, who are 5-4 but have lost four in a row.Arizonas running game was shut down for the second consecutive game. The 49ers (1-8) entered the game ranked last in the NFL in run defense but held Arizona to 80 yards in 23 plays. David Johnson gained just 55 yards in 19 carries.Arians did not place the blame on John Wetzel in his first start at left tackle after replacing Jared Veldheer, who is out for the season with a torn triceps. Arians said he thought Wetzel played a really solid game.He was not so kind to the rest of the offensive line.They kicked our butt, Arians said. They had safeties down in there. They did a couple of different stunts we hadnt practiced. A different front, but nothing we havent seen all year. We just didnt block very well.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAdidas Eqt Suomi .

The Orioles begin a crucial three-game series at the Blue Jays on Tuesday.Our guys are warriors, Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. They grind through a lot of things. Working on short sleep, game 150-whatever. Thats a hard game to win today.Baltimore finished the regular season 50-31 at Camden Yards. It was the second time in three seasons the Orioles finished with at least 50 wins at home.Arizona has been swept 13 times this season, including six on the road.Orioles rookie Dylan Bundy (10-6) allowed the one run on three hits with five strikeouts over five innings. Bundy hasnt gone past the sixth inning in his past six starts.Zach Britton picked up his American League-leading 46th save in as many chances. Manny Machado went 2 for 4 for his team-high 54th multi-hit game.Weve been playing meaningful games in September for a while now, so its not anything new to us, Britton said. Weve been to the postseason a few times now, so I think everyone knows how to treat these next few games. Just go out and be prepared, but at the same time you cant press any more so than you would in the first month of the season.The Orioles took a 2-0 lead on Kims drive off Braden Shipley. Shipley has given up 13 homers in 12 appearances this season.That home run was a great thing and its amazing that it happened in thhe last game, Kim said through an interpreter.dddddddddddd Overall, the pitching was tremendous and it brought us the win. I am just happy for the team to win.The Diamondbacks pulled within a run off Bundy in the third on an RBI single by Paul Goldschmidt. Baltimore reliever Mychal Givens entered in the sixth and held the Diamondbacks hitless over two innings.Arizona was 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position.Shipley (4-5) allowed two runs on four hits with six strikeouts over six innings in his 10th career start.I take this loss on my shoulders, Shipley said. Im not always going to be perfect, obviously, thats how baseball is. I have to live with it.All six of the Orioles series sweeps have come at home.LOCKED DOWNGivens tied a career high with four strikeouts. He now has 95 strikeouts over 73 innings this season (11.71 strikeouts per 9 innings). Thats a pretty good bullpen, Arizona manager Chip Hale said. Givens is really, really good.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: RHP Rubby De La Rosa (right elbow inflammation) has been shut down for the season. He will see a specialist Monday in Florida.Orioles: OF Joey Rickard might not need surgery for his injured thumb, but the team will have a definitive plan to make sure he is ready for spring training, Showalter said.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: Archie Bradley (7-9, 5.02 ERA) opens the four-game series against the NL East champion Washington Nationals.
