TEMPE, Ariz. -- Using a healthy dose of David Johnson, the Arizona Cardinals seemed to have righted their listing ship, just in time for a critical NFC West showdown with Seattle.The Cardinals methodical 28-3 victory over the New York Jets on Monday night lifted them to 3-3. There are 10 games to play, plenty of time to climb back into contention, but the schedule is daunting.First up is a Sunday night home game against the Seahawks, who at 5-1 are two games up on the Cardinals. Arizona never has beaten Seattle at home in coach Bruce Arians three seasons in the desert. The Cardinals have won twice in Seattle.Arians said he wouldnt dwell on where the Cardinals have lost in the past.It doesnt matter if its on the road or at home, weve got to beat them, he said. If were going to win the division, weve got to beat them.Just as they had the week before against San Francisco, the Cardinals won Monday night with a punishing running game.Johnson rushed for 111 yards and three touchdowns, including a 58-yarder that finally gave Arizona a score in the first quarter.David had a heck of a ball game, said Arians, who usually picks out things to criticize about his star running back, and I might give him a game ball.The Cardinals rushed for 171 yards against a Jets team that entered the game second in the NFL against the run, allowing 68 yards per game.Arizona had perfect balance on offense -- 35 rushing plays and 35 passing plays. Although Arians has always been known for his passing game, he said hes always wanted to run the ball, too.Its the way we want to play, Arians said. Its always the way wanted to play. Run the football and play-action and take whatevers there. But we really havent changed our philosophy at all.With the Jets defense taking the long ball away, Arizona was content with short passes complemented by the ground game. One touchdown drive took 11 plays, two were 14-play marathons. The only time Carson Palmer threw long was on a free play after the Jets jumped offside. J.J. Nelson couldnt quite come up with the catch.They made us get rid of the ball quick, Palmer said after the game. They did a number of things to put us in situations where the ball had to come out quick. I feel we normally have big chunk plays -- 15- and 20-yard pass plays. They forced us to get rid of it quick and we did a good job capitalizing in those situations.Johnson has rushed for 268 yards in the last two games. He leads the NFL with 833 yards from scrimmage and with eight touchdowns.Very pleased that we were able to run the football as well as we did against a really good front, Arians said. The interior guys did a heck of a job, because they throw a lot of stuff at them up the middle.Those interior guys included two new guards -- Earl Watford and John Wetzel -- who were playing due to injuries to starters Evan Mathis and Mike Iupati. Mathis was placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury. Arians hopes Iupati, out with a sprained ankle, will be back against Seattle.Arians said a knee injury to wide receiver Jaron Brown was not as serious as first thought and he will be listed as day to day.First-round draft pick Robert Nkemdiche was active for the first time since the season opener and the big defensive tackle drew a `C grade from Arians.Hes overaggressive, Arians said. Play technique and just do your job. You dont have to be Superman just because youre a first-round pick. You dont have to go out there and get all crazy and get out of your gap.Overall, though, Arians praised the teams defensive effort in holding New York to only a field goal.The front defensive line was outstanding, penetrating and stopping the run and letting the linebackers play free, Arians said. Third-down defense was much better. A lot of good individual -- really good individual -- performances also.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Outlet Salomon Online .

KINGSTON, R.I. -- Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley thought the key to his players making shots was the way they selected them.Im not sure we took any bad shots, he said Monday night after the 21st-ranked Rams beat Marist 107-65 in the Hall of Fame Tipoff Tournament.I just think these guys really enjoy playing together, Hurley added after URI shot 56 percent from the field -- including 12 of 21 from 3-point range. I dont think they want to let each other down by being a pig or being selfish, because they all care about one another.E.C. Matthews scored 22 points for the Rams (2-0), shooting 8 of 10 from the field, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range. Hassan Martin had 15 points and 10 rebounds, and Kuran Iverson and Jared Terrell scored 14 apiece for Rhode Island in its first appearance in The Associated Press Top 25 since 2007-08.Matthews said the players know they dont have to take a shot if its not there.Playing with great guards and great forwards, youve just got to rotate the ball, he said.Khallid Hart scored 19 points and Brian Parker had 18 for Marist (0-2).The Red Foxes scored the first five points of the game and led 7-2 before URI reeled off 16 in a row. Rhode Island scored six of the last seven points in the first half to open a 25-point lead at the break and then added the first five points of the second.BIG PICTUREMarist: The Red Foxes opened the season with back-to-back games against ranked teams, losing to No. 1 Duke in their opener on Friday.Rhode Island: This is the easy part for the Rams, who beat Dartmouth by 23 in the opener.

Dartmouth led 12-11 with 5 minutes gone in the opener before the Rams pulled away.Minus a slow, kind of sluggish defensive start, I thought we hung in there, Hurley said. We got on the first group about their start. We didnt like it against Dartmouth. We cant continue to dig holes for ourselves.STATSURI shot 57 percent from 3-point range. The Rams had 21 assists to seven for Marist, and outrebounded the Red Foxes 43-21.That was one of our goals, Hurley said. Not just to win the glass, but to dominate the glass.RESTING UPHurley used his bench in the second half, and no starter played more than 25 minutes. In all, 13 players saw the floor for the Rams, and all but one scored -- Mike Layssard, who did have three rebounds and an assist in 6 minutes. Eric Dadika and Will Leviton each made a basket after checking in for the final 2 minutes of the game.Hurley said he wants his starters playing 30 minutes or more when the competition gets tougher.We wanted to build them up, he said.
