Pagano: Chargers have to be smart facing Arizona

SAN DIEGO (AP) San Diego defensive coordinator John Pagano knows to expect a chess match when his Chargers face the Arizona Cardinals next Monday.

Not only do the Cardinals have players like Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd, but they attack defenses with creative bunch and stack formations, seeking an edge.

Pagano says Arizona is always looking for a mismatch.

The Cardinals finished the 2013 season with the league's 12th-ranked offense after being last the season before.
