TAMPA, Fla. Martin Jones Jersey . -- For nearly 57 minutes, the Arizona Cardinals played poorly. The offence sputtered and the injury-weakened defence committed costly penalties and failed to rattle Mike Glennon until persistence paid off against Tampa Bays rookie quarterback. Patrick Peterson had two interceptions in the closing minutes for the Cardinals (2-2), one setting up Carson Palmers 13-yard touchdown pass to Larry Fitzgerald and the other sealing a 13-10 victory over the winless Buccaneers (0-4) on Sunday. "It was a great exhibition of 60-minute football," first-year coach Bruce Arians said after the comeback from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit ended what would have been a tough extended road trip on a positive note. "The game is played for 60 minutes, and it doesnt matter really what goes on as long as you can maintain the chase that something good is going to happen," Arians added. "That fourth quarter was some of the best football weve played all year. It was just a matter of doing it. It was there to be done." The Cardinals pressured Glennon all game until the third-round draft pick out of North Carolina State made a costly mistake. Petersons first interception set up Arizonas first TD in six quarters. The other ended any chance of Glennon bringing the Bucs back after Jay Feelys 27-yard field goal snapped a 10-10 tie with 1:29 remaining. Starting in place of the benched Josh Freeman, Glennon was steady -- if not spectacular -- for most of the day to give Tampa Bay the type of performance it had been wanting from a quarterback. Freeman was declared inactive for the game and was not in uniform, instead watching the game from a suite at Raymond James Stadium. Coach Greg Schiano said it was a "mutual" decision. Freeman declined to comment as he left Raymond James Stadium. "With all the happenings of the week, it was the best thing for our team," Schiano said. "Theres stuff that Im not going to get into, but that was the best thing for our football team." Glennons day shifted suddenly when Peterson stepped in front of a pass intended for Vincent Jackson and returned the pick 11 yards to the Bucs 13. Fitzgerald beat cornerback Darrelle Revis on the next play for his 80th career TD reception with 3:06 left. Arians couldnt say enough about Peterson, a third-year cornerback with a knack for game-changing plays. "Im really surprised they threw toward him. And with a rookie quarterback, hes going to make you pay," the coach said. "I think hes the best in the league. Some will argue that Darrelle is, but its not even close in my opinion." The Cardinals moved 29 yards after forcing a punt to win it. Palmer threw 19 yards to Jaron Brown on the first play of the drive, and an unnecessary roughness penalty on Bucs safety Dashon Goldson moved the ball to the Tampa Bay 9. Palmer overcame a slow start to complete 21 of 38 passes for 248 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Fitzgerald had six catches for 68 yards, all in the second half. Revis and Johnthan Banks had Tampa Bays interceptions, and Leonard Johnson set up Glennons first career TD pass by forcing a fumble that Gerald McCoy recovered at the Cardinals 41. "Its just an unfortunate way to end the game. The defence played great the whole game," Glennon said. "The offence looked good in the first half. At the end, I just cant make that throw. Definitely a learning experience, but also a tough one to swallow." Arizona had trouble moving the ball until Palmer got Fitzgerald involved in the third quarter. The seven-time Pro Bowler was matched up most of the day against Revis, and Palmer didnt even attempt to throw the ball his way in the first half. "That was bad ball in the first half all around, and our defence just kept fighting and fighting for us, kept the game manageable for us, and were so thankful those guys played their tail off," Fitzgerald said. "We lost a lot of bodies last week, and guys continued to step up in new roles, and thats what being a team is about." The Cardinals lost linebackers Sam Acho, Lorenzo Alexander and Alex Okafor to season-ending injuries during the previous weeks lopsided loss at New Orleans, then flew straight to Florida to practice in nearby Bradenton instead of returning home to prepare for the Bucs. Glennon was 24 of 43 for 193 yards, including an 8-yard TD pass to Mike Williams in the first quarter. He threw two interceptions and was sacked twice. Notes: Cardinals S Rashad Johnson was inactive after losing the tip of a finger making a tackle last week. NT Dan Williams also missed his second straight game due to the death of his father. ... Tampa Bays Doug Martin began the day second in the NFL in rushing. He was limited to 45 yards on 27 carries. ... Olympic sprinter Jeff Demps made his NFL debut for the Bucs.

PAUL, Minn.Elias The Spartan Theodorou says he is still living the grind of a mixed martial arts fighter since winning the middleweight portion of The Ultimate Fighter Nations reality TV show. But life has changed. Im just fortunate now to get to see more people, better people, getting to train with more coaches, said the 26-year-old from Mississauga, Ont. Same job, just better office, he added. Theodorou, who won his TUF Nations title in April, returns to action Saturday in Halifax against Brazilian Bruno Santos. Welterweight Rory Ares MacDonald takes on American-based Belgian Tarec (Sponge) Saffiedine in the main event of the televised card at the Scotiabank Centre as the UFC makes is first foray into Atlantic Canada. The 25-year-old MacDonald, a native of Kelowna, B.C., who trains out of Montreal, is ranked No. 2 among welterweight contenders while the 28-year-old Saffiedine is No. 9. Its one of two UFC cards Saturday. Icelands Gunnar Nelson, ranked 12th among welterweight contenders, faces Rick The Horror Story in the main event of a Stockholm show, which is being shown by the UFCs Fight Pass online subscription service. Theodorou is a larger-than-life character whose resume reads actor, model, stuntman, dancer, TV pitchman and Harlequin Romance cover boy as well as fighter. He says he is always looking to expand his brand both inside and outside the cage. It has not been all nose to the grindstone for Theodorou since defeating Sheldon Westcott via second-round TKO. After the fight I got to enjoy a couple of dance floors and some extracurricular activities, he said. Perhaps as a result, the six-foot-one Theodorou put on some happy weight, getting as high as 230ish. But he says he has trimmed pounds via good nuttrition. Joonas Donskoi Jersey. Science is going to allow me basically to be 185 for about an hour. Theodorou (9-0) says hes realistic about what winning the reality TV show meant. The hard work lies ahead. I literally just got my place in the race now ... Now it begins with Bruno Santos. The stocky five-foot-nine Brazilian likes to take people down. Hes a tough dude, said Theodorou. Hes 14-1. What he basically does, even though not it may not be that exciting, (is) he just grabs a hold of you, picks you up and does exactly what he needs to do to win. He breaks his opponents to be completely honest with you. Hes very headstrong. Hes very focused on what he wants to do. But I think Im just equally as headstrong and a little better technically ... Every time he tries to grab a hold of me, similar to Sheldon, Im just going to say no. Im going to punch him, Im going to kick him and Im going to move. Its not too easy to grab a hold of something thats moving. Especially when it kicks you in the head. Theodorou believes he can showcase his standup skills in the fight. During the reality TV show, he used his grappling to control his opponents. The 27-year-old Santos is 1-1 in the UFC with a win over Krzysztof Jotko and a loss to Chris Camozzi. Theodorous camp for this fight has included time in the Toronto area (Headrush Training Center and the Tapout Burlington Training Centre) and Montreal (Tristar Gym, Titans Academy, BTT Canada and the Montreal Wrestling Club). In Montreal, he got to train with MacDonald. Theodorou is no stranger to Halifax, having stopped Mike Kent in the first round of an Extreme Cage Combat card in May 2013. Ive fought in Halifax before and its going to be another home away from home.
