Despite Stills and the Arizona defense shutting out the Lions in the second half, the Cardinals fell 20-13 and dropped to 1-2 on the season.

The former West Virginia University defensive standout finished with six tackles, two of which were solo tackles, a sack, and a tackle for loss.

Stills came into the weekend without a tackle. He appeared in 22 snaps in week one but was on the injured reserve list last week in week two.

Last season, Stills finished with 47 tackles, five tackles for a loss. 3.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery as a rookie.
