​LAS VEGAS — The Arizona Cardinals are in the win column. No, it doesn’t count for anything, not when the regular season remains one month away.But in what has been an encouraging preseason, the Cardinals earned a tangible reward for their efforts, beating the Las Vegas Raiders, 27-14, on Thursday, Aug. 13, at Allegiant Stadium.And unlike last week’s loss to the Carolina Panthers on the final play of the Hall of Fame game, this contest featured starters. Only Trey McBride and Budda Baker — the Cardinals’ two biggest stars — were rested for reasons not related to injury.Here are three winners and losers from the game.WinnersCardinals passing attackIt’s been a heck of a summer for the Cardinals’ passing attack. All through training camp, that group has gotten the better of the secondary, with receivers finding open pockets of space downfield. The trend continued at last week’s Hall of Fame game, when Carson Beck put together his impressive debut in front of a national audience.This game, though, offered a new test. This was the Cardinals’ starting offense against a starting defense, in a real game, with pads and live tackling.Suffice it to say the Cardinals passed with flying colors. At halftime, their quarterbacks — Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew — had completed 15 of 15 passes for 123 yards and three touchdowns. Not bad.It wasn’t just the stats. Mike LaFleur consistently schemed up space for his receiving weapons, and both quarterbacks looked impressive in finding them. On Brissett’s lone drive, he hit Michael Wilson on an out route to convert a third-and-11, then followed that up with an impressive throw on the move to Marvin Harrison Jr. in the corner of the end zone.It should be noted here that defenses typically show vanilla schemes in preseason, and don’t game plan for opposing offenses. But the early returns are as encouraging as they could be for LaFleur’s offense.Jeremiyah LoveThroughout training camp, LaFleur has made his philosophy clear at running back. Training camp, he says, is a poor way to evaluate the position, given that there’s no tackling. Maybe you can see whether a running back is taking the correct lanes, but there’s no way to assess their elusiveness, a key trait at the position.That was the rationale behind playing Jeremiyah Love for the entire first half. And boy, did Love deliver.That shiftiness was on full display nearly every time Love touched the ball, as he sliced through every possible sliver in the Raiders’ defense. He finished with 58 yards on 11 carries — a healthy 5.3 yards per carry average that was only possible because of his own elusiveness.That’s to say nothing of Love’s impact in the passing game, where he caught all three of his targets for 14 yards. Two of those catches came on angle routes where Love appeared to be the first read — an encouraging sign for how this coaching staff views his receiving prowess.Also worth noting: He led Tyler Allgeier comfort
