James Conner made a significant play during the game against the Chargers by knocking the ball out of Teair Tart's hands after an interception. Michael Wilson followed up with another crucial play, managing to secure the ball despite being tackled by Cam Hart and later by Otito Ogbonnia.

Wilson recounted the experience, saying, "Honestly I didn't realize how bad it was until I got a chance to look at it after," and expressed relief that he avoided serious injury. Coach Jonathan Gannon praised the efforts of Conner, Starling Thomas V, Wilson, and Trey McBride for their performances in recovering fumbles during the game.

McBride also spoke about his recovery effort: "I jumped on it so fast, I tried to stand up hoping those guys wouldn't jump on me." He emphasized the importance of securing possession over personal safety.

The upcoming game between the Cardinals and Dolphins is critical for both teams. The Cardinals are competing in a tight NFC West race, while the Dolphins aim to turn their season around with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's return. His impact is evident as he led Miami to 319 passing yards in his only full game this season compared to an average of 151.6 yards without him.

Conner has been consistent with five 100-yard rushing games in his last nine outings. His performance will be vital against Miami's strong pass defense. However, Arizona faces challenges with several key defensive players sidelined due to injuries.

Despite these setbacks, Arizona's offensive line has provided solid protection for quarterback Kyler Murray, allowing no sacks in two consecutive games. Center Hjalte Froholdt acknowledged Murray's contribution: "Kyler is definitely a problem for a lot of people to gameplan against."

The Dolphins lead the league with a pressure rate of 43.6% on opposing quarterbacks and have an average time to pressure of 2.46 seconds.

The Cardinals will wear red uniforms as they face off against Miami in their white attire under humid conditions expected on game day.

Veteran defensive end Calais Campbell reflected on his past with Arizona before facing them as part of Miami's team: "A lot of good memories at that place," he said.

An unusual matchup involves two players named Aaron Brewer from opposing teams—one a long snapper for Arizona and one a center for Miami. The Cardinals' Brewer joked about meeting his namesake: "Maybe I'll say hi to him."

This will be Arizona's third visit to Miami since 2004 when Larry Fitzgerald secured a win with a late touchdown catch.

Tight end Elijah Higgins anticipates seeing family in Florida but admits having extra motivation against his former team: "There's always a little chip on your shoulder."

Arizona's losses have come against strong teams with winning records this season.

Cornerback Starling Thomas V received praise from family after his impactful forced fumble changed Monday night's game's dynamics: "It was a great play. Shoutout God."
