Wilks turned to Rosen in search of 'spark,' no decision on Week 4 starter

No pressure, Josh Rosen.

The rookie Arizona Cardinals quarterback was called into action for the first time in his NFL career with the Cards trailing the Chicago Bears 16-14 and four minutes remaining in Sunday's game.

Rosen's attempt at a game-winning drive sputtered at the Bears' 45-yard line when he threw a game-sealing interception.

Rosen replaced starter Sam Bradford, who had Arizona in front for the majority of the game. But the veteran fumbled the ball on Arizona's previous possession before Rosen entered, and also threw two interceptions to go along with two touchdown passes.

Bradford didn't appear to be benched due to injury. He remained standing on the sideline with his helmet on.

Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks was asked about throwing a rookie QB into the fire while his team was searching for a late game-winning drive.

"I felt like we needed a spark," he said in his postgame press conference, adding that the offense became stagnant.

Wilks will watch tape of the game before determining who will start under center against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4.

The Cardinals traded up in the 2018 draft to select Rosen with the 10th overall pick.
