As the Cardinals look to break a two-game losing streak -- they have not lost three straight since Bruce Arians became coach -- the players called a meeting Wednesday.

Cornerback Patrick Peterson said the veterans who had been around a while -- guys like himself and Larry Fitzgerald -- just wanted to make sure the message was sent that this was no time to have anyone "tanking it in."

"Not saying anyone is doing it (now), but we just wanted to make aware to guys we have seen this before," Peterson said. "We don't want guys to fall by the wayside, make offseason plans, things like that. We just wanted to call a players meeting, make sure we got that off our chest and make sure that guys who are new to this team understands that. We still have a shot. We still have a shot in this, we just have to take care of business and stop shooting ourselves in the foot."

Peterson said he thought the message was well-received although he acknowledged everyone will see Sunday if it had an impact.
