Cardinals' Dante Stills: Logs sack in win
Dante Stills recorded four total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and defended one pass in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.The second-year pro from West Virginia saw increased opportunities as an edge rusher in Week 8 with both Darius Robinson (calf) and Dennis Gardeck (knee) sidelined, and he made the most of his chances.
