ATLANTA (AP) — For the first time in three years, David Blough trotted on the field as a starting quarterback. His first victory will have to wait. Blough did a commendable job on short notice leading the Arizona offense. But the banged-up Cardinals lost their sixth in a row when Younghoe Koo kicked a chip-shot field goal on the last play of the game to give the Atlanta Falcons a 20-19 victory. Blough only signed with the Cardinals about two weeks ago and wound up as Arizona’s fourth starting QB in four weeks. He completed 24 of 40 for 222 yards and a touchdown.
