Paris Johnson Jr., a left tackle for the Cardinals, recently shared his thoughts on Jim Harbaugh, whom he met during his recruitment process. Johnson, an Ohio State alumnus, referred to the University of Michigan as "that school up North," reflecting the rivalry between the two institutions. Despite this, he praised Harbaugh as "a great leader" and "a great person."

The upcoming Monday night game against the Chargers is anticipated to be exciting. The Chargers are known for their ball-control style of play, reminiscent of Harbaugh's approach when he coached the 49ers and at Michigan. Justin Herbert, their quarterback, has not been producing high numbers lately, as the team focuses on defense.

The Cardinals aim to maintain possession with players like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Zay Jones in order to limit the Chargers' opportunities. Johnson emphasized that each series is crucial, saying, "We want to put points on the field each time whether we are playing someone who wants to hustle down the field or take their time."

For those planning to watch or attend the game, it will be available via streaming on ESPN+ or over-the-air on FOX 10 in Arizona. Fans attending are encouraged to wear black as part of a blackout theme.

In terms of player updates, Darius Robinson is nearing a return from injury but has yet to practice significantly. The Cardinals hope for his activation by October 30th.

Tony Jefferson's career with both teams was highlighted; he now plays for the Chargers after missing last season. DeeJay Dallas has made an impact on special teams for the Cardinals with notable kickoff returns.

Linebacker Kyzir White expressed no hard feelings towards his former team, stating it's "cool going against them" but acknowledging changes within their organization since his departure.

The game will mark several memorable moments from past Monday Night Football appearances by the Cardinals.
