Collier's half sack was the first in his time with the Cardinals.

Zaven Collins had two sacks in the game, but they were two half sacks and one full sack. It was the first time in his career that he was part of three sacks in a game.

It was Trey McBride's first career rushing touchdown.

It was the first time under head coach Jonathan Gannon that the Cardinals were over .500.

It was the first time the Bears allowed more than 21 points in a game this season.

Yes, actually, there were a lot of firsts. But what really counted in the end was the victory.
