Tempe, AZ - Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said Monday quarterback Logan Thomas will start over Ryan Lindley in the team's regular-season finale on Sunday.

The Cardinals are 11-4 and have already clinched a playoff berth. They need help to clinch the top spot in the NFC heading into the final game and it all starts with a win at San Francisco in Week 17.

Arizona has had QB problems this season. Starter Carson Palmer was lost for the season with a knee injury. Then, back-up Drew Stanton suffered a partially torn ligaments in his knee and is still sidelined.

Lindley started Sunday against the Seahawks and struggled as Arizona lost 35-6. He finished 18-of-44 for 216 yards with no touchdowns and one interception.

Thomas appeared for one play and had his lone pass attempt go incomplete.
