Cardinals try to sweep the Rams today as Carson Beck makes his first NFL start

If you're watching the Cardinals today, the quarterback is the story. Arizona hosts the Rams on Sunday with rookie Carson Beck under center. Beck was a third-string quarterback just 11 days ago, behind Jacoby Brissett, who was traded, and Gardner Minshew, who was lost to injury.

The Cardinals scored no touchdowns in that October win. Los Angeles pass rusher Myles Garrett didn't play that day, but he's expected to suit up this time, now paired with Aaron Donald. Beck's own summary of his season: a real "welcome to the NFL" sort of year.

3sacks for Myles Garrett last week

Garrett and Aaron Donald took the field together for the first time last week, and both finished top five in the NFL in pass-rush win rate.

Metro Phoenix's housing market tilts further toward buyers, but sales aren't picking up

If you've been waiting to buy, the Valley's market is leaning your way. Metro Phoenix's active listings rose 6.8% from a year earlier to 27,427 in October, while listings under contract dropped 13.5% to 6,347. The , where anything under 100 favors buyers, fell to 70.1.

Oct. 202492.6

Don't expect a rush, though. Cromford Report analyst Tina Tamboer said about 22% of contracts accepted four to five weeks earlier had fallen through, and she suggested mortgage rates and trouble qualifying for loans could play a part. The weakness shows most among cheaper homes. As the slow holiday stretch nears, she told her audience, "We are going to have a spring."

Airport runway

Chandler voters will keep the final say on lengthening the Chandler Municipal Airport runway, after City Council voted 6-0 on Nov. 12 to amend the City Code section that limits the decision to a public vote, with Councilwoman Christine Ellis abstaining. The runway has gone to voters twice, and twice it narrowly lost in low-turnout elections. chandlernews.com
