Fitzgerald, who caught two touchdowns in Arizona's season-opening loss to New England, has previously said he'll retire when quarterback Carson Palmer does.
After his strong performance Sunday, reports emerged that Fitzgerald has no plans to retire:
Cardinals fans can relax. Larry Fitzgerald has no plans to retire after this year, per sources. It's why he signed an extension last month.

Fitzgerald's a nine-time Pro Bowler and has over 13,000 career receiving yards. He currently ranks fifth all-time in receiving yards per game (76), showing consistency across his 12-year career.
Despite having John Brown and Michael Floyd as already strong contributors, the Cards would lose easily their most steady presence at wideout.
