In this week's episode, Doug Franz provides his three "things we learned" from last Sunday's game in Santa Clara. Here's the link. You can fast-forward to his Cardinals' comments. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0wc6fdsOhPhnhvHIgIyoGc?si=f66697eb1ee94221&nd=1&dlsi=bbb7bf39414f41d1 Doug's three main points: 1.
