Larry Fitzgerald sacrificed personal glory so the Cardinals could score 3 points

Larry Fitzgerald made the smartest play of any player in Week 12.

Larry Fitzgerald is having a great day against the Atlanta Falcons. In addition to making sick one-handed catches and nudging himself even higher in the record books (he is now fifth all-time in career NFL receptions), he made one of the smartest plays of Week 12 when he slid after making a reception just before halftime and called timeout, giving the Arizona Cardinals time to attempt a 54-yard field goal.

Chandler Catanzaro nailed the kick with one second left in the half, putting the Cardinals behind the Falcons by a manageable 17-14 deficit. It was all thanks to Fitzgerald, who made a crucial grab then had the veteran presence of mind to get to the ground.
