The Arizona Cardinals have connected on 19 pass plays of 20 or more yards through five games this season.

The Cardinals call those "explosive" plays and they had the third-most such plays last season with 65.

"We just ain't hitting them," Bruce Arians said.

The coach sees receivers dropping passes and quarterbacks underthrowing them.

"There have been some that I've underthrown. There's been some that they just played coverage and they were basically long throwaways. So, there's been a mix of reasons," Carson Palmer said. "We always love to take those shots. If they're there, we'll take them. If they're not, we won't take them. But, got to continue to improve on it and get better."

Of Arizona's 19 explosive plays, six came in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
