ARIZONA CARDINALS (7-3)

vs.

TENNESSEE TITANS (4-6)

LP Field

THIS WEEK’S GAMEThe Cardinals will make their first-ever appearance in Nashville and play just their second game ever against the Tennessee Titans. The Cards have won three in a row and six of their last seven. They enter Sunday’s game at 7-3, the same mark they had a year ago at the same point. Arizona enjoys a three-game lead atop the NFC West and has been very strong away from home in ’09. They are 5-0 on the road for the first time since 1948 and join the Colts & Saints as the NFL’s only undefeated road teams.The most recent Cardinals road win was a 21-13 decision last Sunday in St. Louis, their 6th straight win against the Rams.Kurt Warner improved to 26-4 as a starter at the Edward Jones Dome and had Arizona up 21-3 before exiting late in the 2nd quarter with a head injury. RB Tim Hightower had acareer-best 110 rushing yards, Beanie Wells ran for another 74 yards and a TD, and the Cards gained a season-high 183 rushing yards. They rolled up 400 yards of offense for the 3rd

straight game, the team’s first such streak since 1969. Like the Cards, the Titans are coming off a win in a city they once called home and are riding a hot streak. Rob Bironas’ 53-yard FG with 0:47 left gave TEN a 20-17 win at Houston. It was the team’s 4th straight victory after starting 0-6, making them the first team in NFL history to accomplish that. Arizona will return home next week to face the NFC North leading Minnesota Vikings (9-1). On Tuesday, it was announced that next week’s Cards-Vikings game has been flexed onto NBC’s Sunday Night Football, moving the start from 2:15 to 6:20 PM (MST).

LAST WEEK’S GAMECARDINALS 21, Rams 13

November 22, 2009 – Edward Jones Dome (59,839)

With a 21-13 win in St. Louis, the Cardinals upped their record to 7-3 and extended their division lead to 3 games after losses by the 49ers and Seahawks. The victory was Arizona’s 6th straight against the Rams and gave the Cards a 5-0 road mark for the first time since 1948. Kurt Warner improved his record as a starter at the Edward Jones Dome to 26-4 and had the Cards up 21-3before exiting late in the 2nd quarter with a head injury. RB Tim Hightower gained a career-best 110 rushing yards while Beanie Wells ran for another 74 yards and a TD. The Cards rolled up 400 yards of offense for the 3rd straight game and had a season-high 183 yards rushing. WR Anquan Boldin topped 100 receiving yards for the 2nd straight week and finished with 103 on 8 catches.

The Rams scored first when they capitalized on a Cardinal turnover. After Wells mishandled a pitch from Warner, St. Louis took over at the AZ25 but the Cards defense held them to just a FG. Arizona would score TDs on 3 straight drives to go up 21-3. A 50-yard Hightower rush set-up a 5-yard Warner TD pass to Boldin. That 87-yard scoring drive was followed by another of 90 yards that ended with an 11-yard scoring pass from Warner to Larry Fitzgerald. After stopping a 4th-n-1 Rams run, the Cards took over on downs and Wells capped a 9-play, 78-yard drive with his 1-yard TD run. Six plays before the score, Warner was injured when he hit his head on the turf after scrambling for a completion. He finished the drive but left the game after the TD. Matt Leinart came on in relief and completed 10 of 14 passes with no INTs or TDs.

The third quarter was scoreless until Rams RB Steven Jackson raced 48 yards to the AZ4 but the Cardinal D again stiffened and allowed just a FG. On the next series, Cards TE Anthony Becht fumbled after a catch and the Rams took over at the AZ44. After converting 3 straight 4th downs that included a 4th-n-11 at the AZ26, Jackson’s 1-yard TD run made it 21-13 with 7:08 left. The next St. Louis drive reached the AZ7 but Marc Bulger’s 4th down pass fell incomplete and the Rams again turned it over on downs. Leinart picked up a key 1st down with a 20-yard completion to Early Doucet on 3rd-n-4 at the AZ13 allowing the Cards to chew up key clock time and the Rams did not seriously threaten again.

Cardinals vs. Titans 2 of 42 www.azcardinals.com

STINGY ON THE ROADArizona has allowed just 71 points in five road games this season, an average of 14.2 points per game, the second-lowest total in the NFL.

Fewest Points Allowed Per Game on the RoadTeam G Pts PPG1. Indianapolis 5 63 12.62. Arizona 5 71 14.23. San Diego 5 88 17.64t. Cincinnati 5 90 18.04t. Denver 5 90 18.0

The Cardinals are on pace to allow their fewest points on the road in a season since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978. Their previous low was 139, achieved in both 1978 and 1980. (Those totals exclude the strike shortened season of 1982).

ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS� The Cardinals, Colts and Saints (all 5-0) are the three remaining teams that are undefeated on the road in 2009, tying the NFL

record for the most 5-0 road teams in a season. It had previously occurred three times in NFL history (1983, 2001, 2007) before this season. All three teams are atop their respective divisions.

� The victory over the Rams last week in St. Louis gives the Cardinals five straight road wins to start a season for the first time since 1948 when they finished the season 6-0 on the road.

� The Cardinals five road wins are the most in a single season since 1975 (5). A win this week in Tennessee would give them the most road wins in a single season since 1963 (6).

� With five victories on the road so far in 2009, the Cardinals are guaranteed their first winning record on the road since 1982 (4-1) and their most road victories in a single season since 1975 (5-2).

� When you include the playoffs, the Cardinals have now won six consecutive road games for the first time since 1947-48 when they won eight in a row.

� The Cardinals 28.8 points per game average on the road in ‘09 ranks as the fifth-highest total in the NFL. Arizona trails only New Orleans (37.4), Minnesota (30.8), Indianapolis (29.6) and Green Bay (29.5). Two of those teams (Minnesota and Green Bay) visit the Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium later this season.

� With their 21-13 victory over St. Louis, the Cardinals have now outscored their opponents 144-71 in road games this season for an average margin over victory of 14.6 points per game.

� The win over the Giants in week seven was the Cardinals first-ever road win on Sunday Night Football.

CARDS AT 7-3 (AGAIN)For the second straight season, the Cardinals are 7-3 after 10 games. Just four times in team history have the Cardinals had more than seven wins after 10 contests: 1948 (9-1) and 1974, 1975, and 1976 (8-2 each year).

Best Record After 10 Games—Franchise HistoryYear Record1948 9-11976 8-21975 8-21974 8-22009 7-32008 7-31977 7-31970 7-2-11966 7-2-11963 7-31947 7-3

A win on Sunday in Tennessee would give the Cardinals 8+ wins in three straight seasons and would mark just the 2nd time in franchise history that has happened. The other was 1974 (10-4), 1975 (11-3) and 1976 (10-4).

SIX-OF-SEVENAfter starting the season with a 1-2record, the Cardinals have won six of their last seven games. Only the undefeated Colts and Saints have more wins in their last seven games. Arizona now has two separate three-game winning streaks in a season for the first time since 1988.

CARDS-VIKINGS GAME FLEXED TO SUNDAY NIGHT ON NBCOn Tuesday, the NFL announced that the Cardinals game against the Vikings on December 6 at University of Phoenix Stadium has been “flexed” into a Sunday night game on NBC and will start at 6:20 PM (MST). The game was originally scheduled to air on FOX at 2:15 PM.

With the move of the Vikings game, the Cardinals will now play back-to-back nationally-televised prime time games for the first time in their history. A week after hosting Minnesota, they play at San Francisco on ESPN’s Monday Night Football. It also gives the Cardinals a total of four prime time appearances in the 2009 regular season, their most ever. The Cardinals previously played on Sunday night this season against the Colts and Giants. They also played in a nationally-televised Thursday night game on ESPN when they opened the preseason at Pittsburgh.

Now in its fourth season, the NFL utilizes “flexible scheduling” on Sundays in Weeks 11-17. Flexible scheduling ensures quality matchups in all NFL Sunday time slots in those weeks and give teams a chance to play their way onto primetime and into the late-afternoon time slot on CBS and FOX. For each of the flexible scheduling weeks with the exception of Week 17, the NFL will announce the start times of games on Sundays no later than 12 days prior to that weekend. To ensure a Sunday night game and doubleheader games with playoff implications in Week 17, the flexible scheduling decision for that Sunday may be made on six days notice.


BATTLNG TURNOVERSAfter committing two turnovers (both fumbles) against the Rams and collecting one (INT) last week, the Cardinals lost the turnover battle for the 18th time under head coach Ken Whisenhunt.

For just the second time in those 18 contests, the Cardinals won the game. When the Cardinals lose the turnover battle, their record is now 2-16 (2-17 including the playoffs) under Whisenhunt. Arizona’s only other victory when losing the turnover battle was last season’s overtime victory over Dallas when they scored twice on special teams.

The Cardinals have won the turnover battle three times this season which gives them a 16-0 record in the regular season (19-0 including playoffs) under Whisenhunt. Arizona is 6-2when they break even.

THE RED ZONEThe Cardinals red zone offense continued its hot streak last week in St. Louis. Arizona scored three TDs in three red zone possessions against the Rams, improving their red zone TD scoring percentage to 70.3 on the season. That is the second-highest average in the NFL behind only Tampa Bay (72.2), despite having twice as many red zone possessions as the Buccaneers.2009 NFL TD Pct. Inside the Red ZoneTeam Poss TDs TD%1.

Arizona’s 26 TDs inside the red zone this season represent the second-highest total in the NFL, trailing only New Orleans (32). Kurt Warner’s 17 TD passes in the red zone this season are the most in the NFL and Larry Fitzgerald’s seven receiving TDs inside the red zone are tied with Minnesota’s Visanthe Shiancoe for the league lead.In the last five games, against the Giants, Panthers, Bears, Seahawks and Rams, the Cardinals have scored TDs on 17-of-21 trips to the red zone (80.9%).

On the other side of the ball, the Cardinals defense held the Rams offense to just one TD in three red zone possessions. For the second consecutive week, that included a first-and-goal from inside the Cardinals five-yard line that resulted in a FG. In week 10 vs. Seattle, a first-and-goal from the one-yard line in the fourth quarter resulted in a goal-line stand that held the Seahawks to just a FG.

In the last two weeks, Arizona opponents have been held to just two TDs on seven possessions inside the red zone. For the season, opponents have 14 TDs in 30 trips in the red zone, and their 46.7 TD percentage is the 11th-lowest total in the NFL. Last season, Cardinals opponents had 35 TDs in 55 trips inside the red zone, a 63.6 TD percentage, which ranked 28th overall in 2008.

THIRD DOWN ANALYSISArizona is the best in the NFL at stopping opponents on third down this season, allowing just 47-of-144 (32.6%) attempts to be converted.

The Cardinals have been particularly successful in forcing opponents into third-and-long situations this season, when they have allowed just seven of 49 (14.3%) conversion attempts of 10+ yards to be completed. The Cardinals have forced opponents into more third-and-long situations (49) than any other team in the NFL except Philadelphia (53).

RUSHING ATTACK ON THE WAY UPThe Cardinals rushed for 183 yards against the Rams last week, representing their highest single-game rushing total since running for 211 yards on 10/3/04 vs. New Orleans. Against Chicago in week nine, the Cardinals rushed for 182 yards.

The Cardinals have rushed for 182, 122 and 183 yards in the last three games. The last time the Cardinals had three consecutive games with 120+ yards rushing was in games 6-8in 2004 (127, 128 and 121 yards). The Cardinals 487 rushing yards over the last three games also represents the highest three-game total in a season since games 10-12 in 1990, when the Cardinals rushed for 494 yards over a three-game stretch (161, 201, 132 yards).

RESUME BUILDING FOR “THE WHIZ”Head coach Ken Whisenhunt has had an impressive run in his first two-plus seasons with the Cardinals. In Chicago, Whisenhunt earned his 25th victory as head coach of the Cardinals, including the playoffs. With a 27-19 record through his first 46 games, Whisenhunt tied Don Coryell for the most wins by a head coach in franchise history through the first 46 games of his coaching career.Best Record Through 46 Games—Franchise HistoryCoach Record Win %Ken Whisenhunt (2007-09) 27-19 .587Don Coryell (1973-76) 27-18-1 .587Charley Winner (1966-69) 25-18-3 .543Wally Lemm (1962-65) 25-18-3 .543�A win this week in Tennessee would make Whisenhunt the first head coach in franchise history to go .500 or better in each of his first 3 seasons.�Arizona has a 7-3 record through 10 games for the second consecutive season.

HEATING UP IN NOVEMBERArizona posted 444 total net yards of offense last week. After a high of 383 net yards in the first seven games, the Cardinals have now gone over 400 yards in each of the last three games, all wins. The last time the Cardinals had 400+ yards of offense in three consecutive games was in games 6-8 in 1969.

The Cardinals are averaging 416.0 yards per game in November, the third-highest total in the NFL behind New England (439.7) and Minnesota (426.0)

TRIPLE THREATThe Cardinals are in the midst of a three-game stretch in which they will face the NFL’s 1-2-3 running backs, a stretch that began last week against St. Louis RB Steven Jackson.This week in Tennessee, the Cardinals defense will try to contain the league’s leading rusher in Chris Johnson, who has run for 1,242 yards through the first 10 games.

Next week, the Cardinals return home to face Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson, who ranks third in the NFL with 999 rushing yards.

BY THE NUMBERS1948

Last time before this year that the Cardinals opened a season 5-0 on the road.

0All-time games the Cardinals have played in Nashville.

17Games played at LP Field by Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie

during his 4-year career at Tennessee State.

162.3 Rushing yards per game for Arizona in its last three contests

weeks extending his franchise-leading total to 26.

1969Last time prior to the last three weeks that the Cardinals gained

400 yards of total offense in three straight games.

3Consecutive games with a sack for DT Darnell Dockett; his

season total of 4.0 trails only Minnesota’s Kevin Williams (6.0) among NFC defensive tackles.

43Age difference in days between Arizona RB Beanie Wells

(8/17/88) and Tennessee WR Kenny Britt (9/19/88), the two youngest players in the NFL.

A FEW THINGS TO LOOK FOR �A win on Sunday in Tennessee would give the Cardinals eight or more wins in three straight seasons for just the second time in franchise history. The other was 1974 (10-4), 1975 (11-3) and 1976 (10-4).

�A win this week in Tennessee would give the Cardinals their most road wins in a single season since 1963 (6).

�A win this week in Tennessee would make Ken Whisenhunt the first head coach in franchise history to go .500 or better in each of his first three seasons.

�Adrian Wilson needs a sack to become just the 10th player in NFL history to record at least 20 INTs and 20 sacks.

�Kurt Warner needs 121 passing yards this week to pass Charley Johnson (14,928) and move into fourth place on the franchise’s career passing yardage list. Warner enters the game with 14,808 yards passing with the Cardinals.

�With 282 yard passing, Warner will join Neil Lomax as the only QBs in franchise history with at least three 3,000-yard seasons.

�Playing in his 87th career game this week, Larry Fitzgeraldneeds three receptions to reach 500 for his career. If he does it this week, only Boldin (80 games) will have reached the total faster in NFL history.

�Fitzgerald needs a TD this week to become the first player in franchise history to record three consecutive seasons with 10+ TDs.

WINNING IN THE NFC WESTWith Arizona’s 21-13 win last week in St. Louis, the Cardinals have a 12-4 record against NFC West rivals dating back to 2007. Arizona has won 10 of its last 11 games against NFC West opponents.

The Cardinals earned their sixth consecutive win over the Rams and seventh in the last eight games. The Cardinals had not won six consecutive games against a single opponent since winning nine consecutive against the Eagles between 1974-78.

The Cardinals have now won their last five road games against NFC West opponents, with their last loss coming at Seattle on 12/9/07. With the win against the Rams, it will have been over two years (735 days) since the Cardinals last lost on the road against an NFC West opponent by the time they travel to San Francisco on 12/14.

CARDINALS AND TITANS – THE LAST MEETINGCARDINALS 20, Titans 10

October 23, 2005 – Sun Devil Stadium – (39,482)After spotting the visiting Titans an early 10-0 lead, the Cardinals recorded their second win of the season and improved to 2-4 on the strength of 20 unanswered points. Defense was the order of the day as offensive yards, first downs, and points proved hard to come by. It was not necessarily that way early for Tennessee, who took the opening kickoff and moved 80 yards in 6 plays en route to scoring what would be its only TD of the afternoon on a 38-yard Billy Volek pass to WR Brandon Jones. Volek started in place on an injured Steve McNair (ankle/back) while Arizona again went with QB Josh McCown, who had started the previous two games in place of Kurt Warner (groin). With Warner healthy enough to see action, McCown earned the starting nod in a decision that was not revealed until game time.

On its first drive, Arizona’s offense moved to the Tennessee 17 but McCown was intercepted by CB Reynaldo Hill. That pick led to a 53-yard Rob Bironas FG and a 10-0 Titans lead after one quarter. With 10:11 left to play in the first half and still holding that 10-0 lead, Tennessee faced a 3rd-n-17 at its own 13 when RB Chris Brown fumbled on a hit by Robert Griffith and fellow safety Quentin Harris recovered at the Titans 21. Perhaps more costly than losing the ball, the Titans lost Brown for the rest of the game with a shoulder injury. Arizona meanwhile was able to convert the turnover into points as kicker Neil Rackers hit a 33-yard FG to make it 10-3. Later in the second, a Volek pass intended for Jones was deflected by LB James Darling and INT’d by CB David Macklin, who was able to maintain his balance and return the theft 60 yards for the game-tying score and the first TD of his career.

The game remained deadlocked as the second half began and neither team found success moving the ball in the third quarter. Tennessee failed to earn a first down all quarter. Arizona was able to find a rhythm late in the quarter and ultimately took the lead on a 24-yard Rackers FG, his 20th in as many tries on the season. Early in the fourth, the Titans took over at the Arizona 23 following a long punt return and had a chance to tie but a bad snap foiled a 33-yard FG try and turned the ball back to the Cards. With Arizona clinging to that 13-10 lead, Tennessee got the ball back at its own 38 with 6:35 remaining. On the first play from scrimmage, LB Karlos Dansby came free on a blitz and sacked Volek, causing not only a fumble that he recovered himself but a concussion that knocked Volek from the game. The turnover gave Arizona the ball at the Titans 34 and on a 3rd-n-10 play from that spot, McCown connected with Larry Fitzgerald on a slant over the middle that the WR took 34 yards for a TD that gave the Cards a more comfortable 10-point lead that proved to be the final margin.

FROM PLAYERS TO COACHESWhen they face the Titans this week, it will mark the fourth time this season a Cardinals matchup will feature two head coaches who previously spent time as players in the NFL.

Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt and Titans head coach Jeff Fisher have a combined 14 years of experience as players in the NFL. Whisenhunt played nine seasons as a member of the Falcons (1985-88), Redskins (1989-90) and Jets (1991-93). Fisher played five years with the Bears (1981-85) and left Chicago holding a number of team records including: punt return yards in a season (509), punt returns in a season (58) and the longest return by a Bear in 39 years (88-yard TD return).

Below is a list of the eight current head coaches across the league that have experience as NFL players and the number of years they played. Ken Whisenhunt—Cardinals (9) Gary Kubiak—Texans (9)Mike Singletary—49ers (12) Jack Del Rio—Jaguars (11)Jeff Fisher—Titans (5) Jim Zorn—Redskins (11) Tom Cable—Raiders (1) Sean Payton—Saints (1)

Previously, Whisenhunt faced off against 49ers head coach and Hall of Fame linebacker Mike Singletary, Jaguars coach and former Pro Bowl linebacker Jack Del Rio, and Texans head coach Gary Kubiak, a former backup to Hall of Fame QB John Elway.

Whisenhunt has another meeting with Singletary’s 49ers team on 12/14 in San Francisco.

ONCE CARDINALS—NOW TITANSTennessee defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil, defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch and cornerback Rod Hood all played for the Cardinals at point.

Cecil played safety for the Cardinals in 1995, returning to the state where he played college ball. Cecil was an All-American and Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year at the University of Arizona as a senior. His play for the Wildcats earned him a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame and he served as a television analyst for the Wildcats from 1999-2000.

Vanden Bosch was selected by the Cardinals in the second round (34th overall) of the 2001 NFL Draft. During his four seasons in Arizona, two which were cut short by significant knee injuries, Vanden Bosch appeared in 35 games (20 starts) and recorded five sacks and 93 tackles.

Hood played two seasons (2007-08) with the Cards and appeared in 35 games (33 starts) with Arizona, including the playoffs. Hood started 17 games for the Cardinals 2008 Super Bowl team and totaled 105 tackles and six INTs (two for TDs) in two seasons with the Cardinals.

FACING THE FORMER COACHThe Cardinals will face off against a former head coach this week in Tennessee.

Titans assistant head coach/linebackers Dave McGinniswas the Cardinals head coach from 2000-03. McGinnis served as the Cardinals defensive coordinator from 1996 to the middle of the 2000 season, when he was named interim head coach after the departure of Vince Tobin. He was officially named head coach on 12/18/00.

As head coach, McGinnis compiled a 17-40 record with the Cardinals.


WARNER HONORED AS MOST CARING ATHLETE

Quarterback Kurt Warner was recently selected by USA WEEKEND as its Most Caring Athlete for 2009.

For all of his on-field accomplishments, Warner's community work remains his biggest source of pride and the Most Caring Athlete honor is a reflection of that commitment. Kurt and Brenda Warner established the "First Things First" foundation in 2001 and have personally contributed more than $1.5 million since then to host trips to Disney for Make-A-Wish families, furnish homes for low income single moms, and host Punt, Pass and Kick clinics with Special Olympic athletes, to name just a few of their initiatives. After visiting flood-ravaged regions in 2008, he created a partnership with Habitat for Humanity to sponsor home builds throughout the Midwest and those efforts have raised over $675,000.

Just before kickoff of Super Bowl XLIII between the Cardinals and Steelers last February, Warner received the 2008 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, the only league recognition that acknowledges a player's off-the-field community service as well as his playing excellence. Also last year, Kurt was nominated by his teammates to receive the 2008 NFL PLAYERS JB Award for his commitment to achieve excellence off the field through building better communities and stronger families.

In recognition of the honor, USA WEEKEND contributed $5,000 to "First Things First.” The foundation also received a 2009 NFL Charities Player Foundation grant in recognition of its outstanding work in the community.

WARNER CLIMBING LISTAfter throwing for 203 yards last week in St. Louis, Kurt Warner is 121 yards away from passing Charley Johnson (14,928) for fourth place on the franchise career passing yardage list.

Careeer Passing Yards—Franchise RecordYards Player (Year)34,639 Jim Hart (1966-83)22,771 Neil Lomax (1981-89)17,622 Jake Plummer (1997-02)14,982 Charley Johnson (1961-69)14,808 Kurt Warner (2005-present)

Warner has 2,718 passing yards on the season, whichputs him on pace to throw for 4,384 yards in 2009. That would represent the third-highest single-season total in franchise history, behind the 4,583 yards he threw for in 2008 and the franchise record of 4,614 yards, set by Neil Lomax in 1984.

With 282 yard passing, Warner will join Neil Lomax as the only QBs in franchise history with at least three 3,000-yard seasons. Lomax totaled four 3,000-yard seasons.

BALANCE STARTS WITH THE LINEThe Cardinals offensive line—consisting of LT Mike Gandy, LG Reggie Wells, C Lyle Sendlein, RG Deuce Lutui and RT Levi Brown—started their 26th consecutive regular season game with the same starting five. That ties the NY Jets for the NFL’s longest current streak with the same starting five offensive linemen.

Including the 2008 postseason, the Cardinals line has started 30 consecutive games with the same five starters.

Their play has sparked the emergence of the Cardinals running game over the last three weeks while also keeping the Cardinals fourth-ranked passing attack going.

Against the Rams last week, the line led the way for the Cardinals to rush for a season-high 183 yards, the highest single-game total for the Cardinals since 2004. The Cardinals offense has rushed for 487 yards on 91 carries (5.4 yard avg.) over the last three weeks. In the same span, the line has allowed just three sacks in 104 pass attempts.

The Cardinals have a 4-0 record this season when allowing one sack or fewer in a game and they have a 4-0record when rushing for 100 or more yards.

Over the last three games, the Cardinals offense is averaging 448.0 yards per game. Arizona is averaging 162.3 yards per game on the ground and 285.7 yards per game through the air.

Last week’s game vs. the Rams marked the eighth time this season the offensive line has two or fewer sacks allowed.

“I am pleased with the way they are playing together as a unit and how they are adjusting and handling the situations we are seeing,” head coach Ken Whisenhuntsaid. “I am proud of the way they are playing as a group.”

BUILDING A WINNERIn 2008, the Cardinals clinched the NFC West, earned their first home playoff victory in 61 years and appeared in their first Super Bowl in franchise history. The talent on the Cardinals roster was the key to that Super Bowl run, and General Manager Rod Graves is the man responsible for assembling that roster and adding to it this past offseason in hopes of another trip to the postseason.The most significant tool used by Graves to assemble Arizona’s roster has been the NFL Draft.

Arizona currently has 28 players on the 53-man roster that were drafted by the Cardinals. Recent drafts have not only produced Pro Bowlers in Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald, Adrian Wilson, and Darnell Dockett but also scores of other full-time starters and contributors. Six of Arizona’s 2009 draft picks are on the 53-man roster, five of which have received playing time and three who appeared in all 10 games so far this season. The 2008 draft produced three current full-time starters in CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, DE Calais Campbell and RB Tim Hightower.Graves has made it clear that the organization wants to identify a core group of players to build the team around and keep that core intact. Dating back to 2004, the Cardinals have re-signed eight players to contract extensions, including all four players drafted by the Cardinals that have made the Pro Bowl. Wilson (2004, 2009), Boldin (2005), Neil Rackers (2005), Kurt Warner (2006, 2009), Gerald Hayes (2006), Reggie Wells (2006), Dockett (2006) and Fitzgerald (2008) have all signed contract extensions. LB Karlos Dansby, a 2004 draft selection, has been designated the team’s franchise player the last two seasons.Another area that has been instrumental in building the Cardinals isunrestricted free agency. Recent free agent pickups include Mike Gandy and a full-time starter at left tackle and Sean Morey, a special teams ace who was named to the Pro Bowl in 2008. Continuing the trend of signing free agents to bolster the roster and compete for starting spots, the Cardinals signed former Steelers cornerback Bryant McFadden and tight end Anthony Becht in ’09.


WARNER KEEPS CLIMBINGKurt Warner’s 18-yard TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald in the fourth quarter against the Seahawks on 11/5 was the 200th TD pass of Warner’s career. He became just the 29th player in NFL history to throw for at least 200 career TDs. With his 11-yard TD pass to Fitzgerald in the second quarter last week, his second TD pass of the day, Warner reached 20 TD passes in 2009 and became the first QB in franchise history to throw for 20+ TDs in three consecutive seasons. In reaching 200 TD passes in his 118th career game, Warner became the fifth-fastest QB in NFL history to reach the career milestone.

THE BEST ON THE ROADKurt Warner is 5-0 as a starter on the road this season. The only other time Warner started a season 5-0 on the road was in his second league MVP season of 2001 when he went 8-0 as a starter in road games.

For the season, Warner has completed 113-of-154 passes (73.4%) for 1,214 yards, 12 TDs and just two INTs with an NFL-best 116.3 passer rating in his five starts on the road.

Warner has averaged 263.1 passing yards per game in his career, the best average in NFL history.

In 2001 with the Rams, Warner became the fastest player in NFL history to reach 10,000 passing yards, reaching the mark in just his 36th career game.

In 2006 as a member of the Cardinals and playing in his 76th

career game, Warner became the second fastest player in NFL history to reach 20,000 passing yards, with only Marino (74 games) doing it in fewer games.

WARNER ADDS NUMBER 51In week five against the Texans, Kurt Warner reached 50 career 300 yards games in just his 113th career game, becoming the fastest quarterback in NFL history to reach 50 300-yard games, shattering the former record held by Dan Marino (176 games).

In week 11 vs. Seattle, Warner threw for a season-high 340 yardsagainst the Seahawks, the 51st 300-yard passing game of his career. In doing so, he tied Dan Fouts for the fourth-highest total in NFL history. Only Peyton Manning (55), Brett Favre (58) and Dan Marino (63) have more 300-yard games than Warner.

The Seattle game represented Warner’s 21st 300-yard game as a member of the Cardinals, the most in team history. Neil Lomax was the previous record holder, totaling 19 career 300-yard games.

14,000 WITH TWO TEAMSWith 242 passing yards in game seven vs. Carolina, Kurt Warnerreached 14,000 passing yards as a member of the Cardinals, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to reach 14,000 passing yards with two teams. In addition to his total with the Cardinals, Warner threw for 16,501 yards with the Rams from 1998-2003.

In his last two-plus seasons, covering 41 starts, Warner has thrown for 11,286 yards for the Cardinals, an average of 275.3 yards per start.

Against the Texans in week five, Warner reached 13,000 passing yards with the Cardinals and joined Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton and the only QBs in NFL history with 13,000+ passing yards with two teams. Tarkenton threw for 33,098 yards with the Minnesota Vikings and 13,905 yards with the NY Giants.


KURT’S CANTON CREDENTIALSIn the minds of many, Kurt Warner’s performance as a Cardinal combined with his earlier success with the Rams has secured an eventual spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. For those not yet decided, perhaps the best case can be made by comparing Warner’s career to those of QBs already enshrined -- particularly the 14 modern era quarterbacks enshrined in the last quarter century.

None of the 14 can match Kurt in completion percentage, yards per attempt or yards per game. Only Steve Young had a higher career passer rating than Warner’s 93.8. Only Dan Marino had more career 300-yard passing games. Warner’s career totals for completions and yards already exceed the totals for five of the 14. His TD total (202) exceeds those of four.

And Warner has done it all in fewer games. While the 14 Hall of Famers in question averaged 186 games, Kurt has needed only 119 torank among them. The late start to his career, improbable emergence and subsequent career twists have become part of his legend.

Warner & Tom Brady are among 10 quarterbacks to start at least three Super Bowls. The other eight are in the Hall. Warner, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning are among six players to win multiple MVP awards. The other three – Montana, Unitas and Young – are in the Hall.

Career Milestones:� Two-time NFL MVP (1999 and 2001); was also named Super Bowl XXXIV MVP after leading the Rams to a victory over Tennessee.� Became just the second QB (Craig Morton, Dallas and Denver) in NFL history to start a Super Bowl for two different teams. Both

franchises Warner led to the Super Bowl had not earned a playoff berth in the previous 10+ years. In the decade preceding their Super Bowl appearance, the Rams had eight seasons of 10-or-more losses and the Cardinals had seven.

� Threw for 1,147 yards in the 2008 playoffs with Arizona, an NFL record for most passing yards in a single postseason. It topped the record he set in 1999 with the Rams when he threw for 1,063 yards.

� Owns the top three passing totals in Super Bowl history and is the only QB in Super Bowl history with three 300-yard performances.He has totaled 1,156 yards passing in his three Super Bowl appearances, the most passing yards of any QB in Super Bowl history.

� Has passed for at least 365 yards in five postseason games, an NFL record.� Became the fastest player in NFL history to reach 10,000 passing yards and 30,000 passing yards.� Has thrown for 300+ yards 51 times in his career. Became the fastest QB in NFL history to reach 50 300-yard games (114 games),

shattering the previous record held by Dan Marino (176). � Has thrown for 300+ yards in 42.9% of his career games, the highest percentage in NFL history.� Is the only QB in NFL history pass for 14,000 yards with two different teams.� On 9/20/09 at Jacksonville, set the NFL single-game record for completion percentage (92.3% on 24-26 passing).� On 11/15/09 vs. Seattle threw his 200th career TD. Only Marino, Manning, Favre and Brady reached 200 passing TDs in fewer career

games than Warner’s 118 and Kurt became just the 29th player in NFL history to throw for 200 TDs.


THE STARTS STREAK CONTINUESWhen named the team’s starter entering the 2008 season,many questioned whether Kurt Warner could stay healthy. His current consecutive starts streak sits at 41 games.

Warner was one of 16 NFL quarterbacks to start every regular season contest in ’08 but the only one to start as many as 20 total games. In fact, he was just the third QB in NFL history to start 20 total games in a season, joining John Elway (’97 Broncos) and Eli Manning (’07 Giants).Among active QBs, Warner’s 41-game starts streak ranks seventh behind Brett Favre (301), Peyton Manning (201), Eli Manning (88), Drew Brees (77), Philip Rivers (62) and Jay Cutler (47).

Below is a look at Warner’s stats over his last 41 consecutive starts (including playoffs) compared to the first 41 starts of his career.Current StreakVitals: Spans ages of 36 to 38 / 1 perfect game / 4 playoff games / 15 300-yard games / 18 games with 100+ passer ratingStat Att Comp Pct.

Warner’s current 41-game starts streak is the fourth-longest in franchise history behind Jim Hart (65), Neil Lomax (51) and Charlie Johnson (44). It is also the longest streak of his career, easily topping the 28-game streak he accumulated from 2000-02 as a member of the Rams.

RIDING ON THE LINELast season’s run to the Super Bowl was largely accomplished on the arm of QB Kurt Warner. By extension, it was fueled by the offensive line’s outstanding protection of Warner.

According to Stats Inc, Arizona was the most heavily pressured team in the NFL during the 2008 regular season, facing a blitz on 218 of their 630 pass attempts.

The pressure has been on Warner again this season and in week 10 vs. Seattle, Warner attempted 38 passes without getting sacked. Last week in St. Louis, the Cardinals improved to 5-0 when Warner is sacked once or fewer in a game in ‘09. It marked the fifth game this season he has been sacked once or fewer.Below is a look at Warner’s performance this season based on the number of times he gets sacked:0-1 Sacks (5-0)Gms Att Com Pct.

CAN HE TOP HIMSELF?�With 20 TD passes through the first 10 games of the season, Kurt Warner is on pace to throw 32 TD passes in 2009. The franchise record for TD passes in a season is 30, established by Warner in his Pro Bowl season of 2008.

�With 372 pass attempts through the first 10 games, Warner is on pace to throw 595 passes this season, which just short of the pace to break his franchise record of 598 attempts, set in 2008.

�With 251 pass completions, Warner is on pace to throw 402 completions on the season, which would break his current franchise record of 401 completions, also set in 2008.

�Warner has a 94.4 passer rating on the season heading into this week’s matchup against the Titans. That number is rising quickly. Just four weeks ago, Warner had a 81.5 passer rating on the season. Since then, Warner has brought that number up to 94.4, putting him within range of the franchise record of 96.9, which he set in 2008.

ON A ROLLSince his final pass of the week eight contest vs. Carolina was intercepted, Kurt Warner has been on a roll. In the last three games, Warner has completed 66 of 89 pass attempts (74.2%) for 804 yards, nine TDs, 0 INTs and a passer rating of 135.2.

Warner’s streak of 89 consecutive pass attempts without an INT is the NFL’s longest current streak among starting QBs. Only Washington’s Todd Collins (222) and Kansas City’s Brodie Croyle (96) have longer active streaks, and neither are currently starting for their respective teams. Among current starters, Warner’s 89 attempts without an INT leads both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, who are tied for second place with 86 consecutive attempts without an INT.

Warner has gone three consecutive starts without an INT for the first time since 2004 (games 1-3) and for just the third time in his career, the only other time coming in games 5-7 of the 1999 season.


ANOTHER MILESTONELarry Fitzgerald reached 6,000 receiving yards for his career in the season opener against the 49ers. He became the second-youngest receiver in NFL history to reach 6,000 yards. At 26 years and 13 days old, Fitzgerald trails only Randy Moss, who reached the milestone at 25 years and 270 days old.Youngest Receivers to 6,000 YardsReceiver (Team) AgeRandy Moss (Min) 25 years, 270 daysLarry Fitzgerald (AZ) 26 years, 13 daysJerry Rice (SF) 27 years, 37 daysHerman Moore (Det) 27 years, 49 daysLance Alworth (SD) 27 years, 73 daysLast season, Fitzgerald became the youngest receiver in NFL history (25 years and 119 days) to record 400 career receptions.

BOLDIN IS FRANCHISE RECEPTIONS LEADERWith three receptions against the Panthers before leaving the game with a sprained ankle, Anquan Boldin reached 537 career receptions and passed Larry Centers (535) to become the Cardinals all-time receptions leader. With eight receptions last week in St. Louis, he continues to build upon his record.Career Receptions—Franchise RecordRec Player (Years)553 Anquan Boldin (2003-present)535 Larry Centers (1990-98)522 Roy Green (1979-90)497 Larry Fitzgerald (2004-present)493 Frank Sanders (1995-02)

Boldin has wasted no time making his way up the franchise receptions list. In fact, no one in NFL history has made their way to 500 career receptions (or 400, or 300 or 200) faster than Boldin.

MOVING FASTPro Bowl receivers Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgeraldhave done a lot of moving this season. Both the receivers have made significant jumps up the franchise receiving lists so far in 2009 and last week was no exception, as both moved up among Cardinals all-time leaders.

Most recently, Fitzgerald passed Frank Sanders (493) for fourth place on the franchise career receptions list last week with eight catches against the Rams. Two weeks ago, against Chicago, Fitzgerald moved past Jackie Smith into fifth place on the career receiving yardage list.

This week, Fitzgerald needs three receptions to reach 500 for his career. If he reaches 500 career receptions this week, in his 87th career game, only Boldin (80 games) will have reached the total faster in NFL history.

Against the Panthers in week eight, Boldin became the franchise all-time leader in receptions. Last week, Boldin’s 103 receiving yards put him into third place on the career receiving yardage list. Boldin entered last week’s game in a third place tie with Pat Tilley, each with 7,005 career receiving yards.

BREASTON, THE NOT SO SECRET WEAPONIn the nine games he has played this season (sat out the season opener with a knee injury), Steve Breaston has totaled 545 yards and three TDs on 39 receptions. The third-year wide receiver is now on pace to catch 65 passes for 908 yards this season.

If he can reach the 1,000-yard mark, it will be the second-consecutive 1,000-yard season for Breaston. He finished 2008 with 1,006 receiving yards.

It wasn’t that long ago that Breaston broke out as a receiver. In fact, it was against the NY Jets in week four of the 2008 season and since then, he has become a key part of the Cardinals passing attack.

Below is a look at Breaston’s stats over the last 22 regular season games compared to his first 19 NFL games:

First 19 Games Last 22 GamesRec Yds Lg TD Rec Yds Lg TD12 164 40 0 112 1,479 58 6

Breaston’s third TD reception of the season came in week 10 against Seattle. With three TD receptions in 2009, Breaston has tied his career single-season high for TD receptions, established in 2008.

COULD IT HAPPEN AGAIN?Larry Fitzgerald (71), Anquan Boldin (51) and Tim Hightower (47) are all on pace to catch 75 passes this season for the Cardinals. If Arizona has three players with at least 75 catches this season, it will mark just the sixth time in NFL history that a team would have three players with 75+ receptions in a season. � The 2008 Cardinals became just the fifth team to accomplish the feat, with Fitzgerald (96), Boldin (89) and Steve Breaston (77) all

reaching the mark. The Cardinals would become the first team in NFL history to accomplish the feat two years in a row. � Most impressively, if Arizona has three players with 75+ catches in 2009, Kurt Warner will have been the quarterback for four of the

six teams that have achieved that milestone. � Breaston is just off the 75-catch pace so far this season. He has 39 catches thus far in ’09 and is on pace to catch 65 passes. If

Breaston joins the other three, Arizona would be the first team in NFL history with four players catching 75+ passes in a season.

ADDING TO HIS RECORDAnquan Boldin caught eight passes for 103 yards and a TD last week against the Rams, his 26th career 100-yard game, which is a franchise record. Combined with his 105 yards against Seattle the week before, Boldin has back-to-back 100-yard receiving games for the first time since recording a franchise record five consecutive 100-yard games in 2005.Larry Fitzgerald sits in second place behind Boldin with 22 career 100-yard games.

BACK ON TOPLarry Fitzgerald’s 11-yard TD reception in the second quarter last week was his ninth TD reception of the season, the most in the NFL in 2009.

With nine TDs so far this season, Fitzgerald needs to collect one more to become the first player in franchise history to record 10+ TDs in three consecutive seasons. Fitzgerald had 10 TD receptions in 2007 and a career-high 12 in 2008.

Dating back to last season, and the 2008 playoff run, Fitzgerald has 22 TD receptions in his last 19 games.

Fitzgerald is also closing in on Roy Green’s franchise record for most TDs in a two-year span. Green had 26 TD receptions between 1983-84. Since 2008, Fitzgerald has 21 TD receptions during the regular season.

With 55 career TD catches, another milestone within reach for Fitzgerald this season is 61 career TD receptions. He needs six more TD receptions to pass Sonny Randle (60) for the second-most TDs in franchise history.

ON PACE FOR 100With 71 receptions for 792 yards through the first 10 games, Larry Fitzgerald is on track for another 100-catch season. He is on pace for 113 receptions in ’09 which would be a career-high.

Should he reach 100 catches in ’09, he would have three 100-catch seasons and become just the second receiver in NFL history to record three 100-catch seasons in his first six NFL campaigns (Marvin Harrison).

In NFL history, there have been 60 total 100-catch seasons accomplished by 41 different players. Jerry Rice and Marvin Harrison share the NFL record with four apiece while Herman Moore totaled three 100-catch campaigns.


BEANIE TIMERookie RB Beanie Wells, taken by the Cardinals in the first round of the 2009 draft, has shown why the Cardinals took him with the 31st overall selection.

Against the Giants in week seven, Wells scored his first career TD on a 13-yard run in the second quarter that tied the game at seven. He has been on a roll ever since.

In week 10 against the Seahawks, Wells established career highsin rushing attempts (16), rushing yards (85) and TDs (2). He also had a career-long run of 29 yards and career-long reception of 23 yards.

Wells had TD runs of 10 and 13 yards against the Seahawks, making him the first rookie in franchise history with two 10+ yard TD runs in a single game since Dave Mann accomplished the featin 1955 vs. the Bears.

Wells rushed for 74 yards and a TD on 14 carries (5.3 avg.) last week against the Rams, marking his fourth consecutive game averaging over five yards per carry. Wells’ one-yard TD run in the second quarter was his fourth TD in the last five games.

Wells added three rushes of 10+ yards last week in St. Louis and on the season, he has 17 runs of 10+ yards on 100 attempts, which gives him a run of 10+ yards on 17.0% of his carries, the second-highest percentage in the NFL behind Carolina’s DeAngelo Williams (17.1%).

CARDS NEWEST RECEIVING THREATRB Tim Hightower has 47 receptions on the season, the second-highest total in the NFL among running backs. Hightower has easily surpassed his reception total from his rookie season, when he caught 34 passes.

As a receiver, Hightower put his name in the franchise record books in week one against the 49ers. With 12 receptions for 121 yards, Hightower became the first Cardinals running back with 100+ yards receiving in a game since Larry Centers totaled 108 yards on 11 receptions at Indianapolis on 9/1/96.

Hightower’s 12 receptions in week one tied for the second-highest single-game total by a running back in franchise history, matching Larry Centers’ 12 receptions vs. Dallas on 12/25/95 and Ottis Anderson’s 12 receptions at Washington on 12/16/84.

With 47 receptions through 10 games, Hightower is on pace to catch 75 passes this season, which would rank as the fourth-highest total in franchise history by a running back. Larry Centers had 101 receptions in 1995, an NFL record for a RB, and 99 receptions in 1996, the top two totals in franchise history for a RB.

BACK FOR MORETim Hightower loves playing in the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. The second-year back rushed for a career-high 110 yards on 14 carries (7.9 avg.) against the Rams last week. It was Hightower’s second career 100-yard rushing game, with the other coming on 11/2/08 in St. Louis, when he rushed for 109 yards on 22 carries.

A large chunk of that yardage came on a 50-yard burst in the first quarter that set up the Cardinals first scoring drive. Hightower’s 50-yard run was the longest run for the Cardinals since Troy Hambrick’s 62-yard run in Miami on 11/7/04.

Hightower’s 7.9-yard average last week was the highest average yards per carry total of his career. His previous best was 5.3 yards per carry vs. Buffalo on 10/5/08 when he totaled 37 yards on seven carries.

For the season, Hightower has combined with rookie Beanie Wells to form Arizona’s resurgent running attack. For his part, Hightower has rushed for 430 yards and a team-high five TDs on 102 carries (4.2 avg.) in ’09.


AUSSIE RULESP Ben Graham is having a Pro Bowl caliber year, averaging 47.5 yards a punt, the second-best total in the NFC and third-best total in the NFL behind Oakland’s Shane Lechler (51.5) and San Francisco’s Andy Lee (47.9)NFL Punting Avg.Player (Team) No. Yds Avg.Shane Lechler (Oak) 61 3,140 51.5Andy Lee (SF) 61 2,924 47.9Ben Graham (Ari) 56 2,661 47.5Jon Ryan (Sea) 53 2,505 47.3Brian Moorman (Buf) 59 2,747 46.6

Graham is on pace to establish numerous franchise records this season if he continues to play the way he has through the firs t 10 games.

Graham has 25 punts landed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line on the season, tied for the second-most in the NFL behind Kansas City’s Dustin Colquitt (29). Graham’s combination of distance and accuracy this season has been unmatched. Among the NFL’s top 10 players in gross punting average, Graham’s 25 punts inside the 20-yard line are five more than the next-highest players (Lechler, 20).Graham is in his second season with the Cardinals after joining the team for the final four regular season games and the playoff run in 2008. The 35-year old is in his fifth NFL season after spending 12 years as a star in Australian Rules Football for his hometown team of Geelong before signing with the NY Jets in 2005.

WELL ROUNDEDCardinals placekicker Neil Rackers has had a lot of success scoring points since coming to Arizona during the 2003 season. As a member of the Cardinals, Rackers has scored 679 points, the second-highest total in franchise history behind kicker Jim Bakken (1,380).

This season, Rackers has connected on 11/12 FG attempts and has been good on 36-of-40 FG attempts dating back to the 2008 season.

But his success is not limited to scoring points. Rackers has become one of the most versatile kickers in the game and has impressive array of skills. His accuracy on onside and pooch kicks has made him a dangerous weapon for the Cards.

For his career, Rackers has been successful on 9-of-21 onside kick attempts (42.9). Since 2006, Rackers has successfully converted 5-of-9 onside kick attempts and converted an impressive five in a row between 2006 and 2008. Among active kickers with at least 10 onside attempts, only Philadelphia’s David Akers has a better percentage in converting onside kicks (46.7).

Rackers is a rarity among kickers for his desire to stick his nose in the action and make tackles on special teams as well. For his career, Rackers has 33 special teams tackles. Now in his seventh season with the Cardinals, Rackers has become more-and-more involved in the art of covering kicks. He established a career-high with nine special teams tackles last season and has recorded five so far in 2009.

Now in his 10th NFL season Rackers still has plenty of life left in his legs. He has totaled 13 touchbacks on 44 kickoffs this season, the seventh-highest total in the league.

A LOOK AT THE BLOCKSThe Cardinals have blocked an NFL-high three field goal attempts this season, two by 6-8 defensive end Calais Campbelland one by CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, his second in two seasons.11/8 @ Chi: Rodgers-Cromartie blocked a 48-yard FG attempt, which was caught by Antrel Rolle deep in the end zone and returned 59 yards, setting up a Cardinals FG right before the half.10/11 vs. Hou: Campbell blocked a 35-yard FG attempt by Texans kicker Kris Brown, his second blocked FG in three games.9/20 @ Jax: Campbell blocked a 38-yard FG attempt that would have cut the Cardinals lead to 10-6. The blocked kick was recovered and returned 83 yards for a TD by Rolle.

THE 20/20 CLUBAdrian Wilson entered the 2009 season on the verge of joining an elite club among NFL defenders. The Pro Bowl safety is working to join the 20/20 club and become just the 10th player in NFL history with at least 20 sacks and 20 interceptions.

He is right on the verge after collecting his 20th career INT in week 10 vs. Seattle. It could come at any time, as Wilson needs just one sack to reach his goal.

Although he didn’t reach the 20/20 club last week in St. Louis, Wilson did snag his 21st career INT (and third of 2009) in the thirdquarter when he picked off Marc Bulger.

He is now one INT shy of tying his career-high (4), established in 2002 and matched in 2006. Combined with his INT in week 10 against Seattle, Wilson has INTs in back-to-back games for just the second time in his career (2007).

Wilson signed his second contract extension with the Cardinals during the offseason, agreeing to a five-year deal on 6/4/09 that will keep him under contract through the 2013 season. The two-time Pro Bowler showed his loyalty to the franchise when he signed his first contract extension in 2004, opting not to become a free agent and signing the first of two five-year deals.

FILLING IN NICELYWhen Antonio Smith left for the Houston Texans during the offseason, second-year DE Calais Campbell was tabbed to take over the starting role. He has been outstanding through the first 10 games and had his best game of the season in week six against the Seahawks when he collected his first-career multi-sack game with 1.5 sacks of QB Matt Hasselbeck.

Through the first 10 games, Campbell has totaled 33 tackles, along with 3.5 sacks, four passes defensed and a forced fumble.

Campbell’s contributions aren’t limited to defense either. In week two in Jacksonville, he blocked a 38-yard FG attempt, his first of two blocked FGs this season. The blocked kick was recovered a returned 83 yards for a TD by Antrel Rolle. Campbell earned NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts.

DRC—YEAR TWOCornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie broke into the starting lineup during his rookie campaign in 2008 and has been showing why he was a first-round pick ever since.

In week five against the Texans and playing with a bulky cast on his hand due to a broken finger, Rodgers-Cromartie stepped in front of a Matt Schaub pass and returned it 49 yards for a TD that proved to be the game-winning points for the Cardinals in their 28-21 victory. It was a performance that earned him his first-ever NFC Defensive Player of the Week award.

In week seven against the Giants, Rodgers-Cromartie recorded his third INT of the season on a highlight reel play in which he out-jumped Giants WR Dominique Hixon on a deep ball in the endzone. He was putting on dominate show in the secondary against the Giants before leaving the game with an ankle sprain in the third quarter.

Including the 2008 playoffs, Rodgers-Cromartie has nine INT in 22 career starts at cornerback. His first three career startscame as a nickel back last season. He has two INT returns for TDs in his career, the latest coming against the Texans. He has also collected 22 passes defensed so far in 2009.

STEADY AS HE GOESAs he showed with his three sack performance in Super Bowl XLII against the Steelers, Darnell Dockett is a dominant force in the middle of the Cardinals defense. As the 2009 season wears on, Dockett is just heating up.

His fourth quarter sack of Marc Bulger last week marked his third consecutive game with a sack and gives him 4.0 sacks on the season. He ranks second in the NFC behind Minnesota’s Kevin Williams in sacks among defensive tackles.

Dockett also recorded two tackles for loss in the game, giving him 12 on the season, a new career-high. His previous career-high was 11, established in 2004.

In the first 10 games, Dockett totaled 40 tackles, 4.0 sacks and 12 tackles for loss. He recorded a season-high three tackles for loss against Carolina.

The country got to know Dockett by way of his three sacks in Super Bowl XLIII against Pittsburgh, tying the NFL record for sacks in a Super Bowl, a record he now shares with Hall of Famer and sack legend Reggie White. But since coming into the league in 2004, there aren’t many players at his position that have dominated the way he has.

Dating back to 2004, no player at his position has appeared in more games (90) than Dockett. He has started every game the last four-plus years for Arizona and has an ongoing streak of 75 consecutive starts, the team’s longest active streak. Dockett has started 89 of 90 games in his first five-plus NFL seasons and has never missed a contest.

Since 2007, Dockett is among the league leaders in many categories at the defensive tackle position. Below is a look at Dockett’s sack total since then compared to some of the more well-known defenders at defensive tackle.

SPREADING THE WEALTHThe Cardinals have 28 sacks on the season and they continue to come from all over.

The Cardinals’ 28 sacks are spread among 12 different players.

ROLLE SCORES IN NEW POSITION After spending his first three NFL seasons as a cornerback for the Cardinals, Antrel Rolle moved to free safety in 2008. The move suited him well, as he recorded 119 tackles on the season, the first 100-tackle campaign of his career.

This season, Rolle is improving every single week, becoming a ball-hawk in the defensive backfield. He has collected 63 tackles, 1.5 sacks, four INTs, eight passes defensed, a forced fumble and two tackles for loss.

Rolle recorded his fourth INT of the season in week 10, leaving him one shy of his single-season career-high (5), set in 2007. Rolle now has 12 career INTs in the regular season.

Including the 2008 postseason, Rolle has five career defensive TDs on 14 career takeaways.

Of his 13 career interceptions, Rolle has returned four for TDs, with a fifth called back due to an erroneous penalty on the return. He also had another pick wiped out by an offsides penalty in last year’s MNF game vs. the 49ers. Below is a breakdown of Rolle’ssix career TDs:

CARDINALS FASTEST GROWING TEAM BRANDIn May of 2009, Forbes released the results of a study that looked at the fastest growing team brands in sports over the last three seasons. It should be noted that the study included the NFL’s 2008 regular season but not the postseason. Even though the Cardinals run to Super Bowl XLIII wasn’t considered, Arizona still was the fastest growing team brand in the four major sports. Over the three year span analyzed by Forbes, the Cardinals brand grew to $68 million, at a rate of 143%. The rate is nearly double that of the second-ranked football team, the New York Giants and well above the 115% growth that the Tampa Bay Rays registered for second place in the four major sports.

Forbes attributes the Cardinals growth mainly to the opening of University of Phoenix Stadium in 2006. The team has sold out every game since moving into the new stadium in Glendale and Arizona’s 20-year, $155 million naming rights deal with University of Phoenix that began in 2006 is the third largest in the NFL.

DANSBY LEADS AGAINLB Karlos Dansby has recorded a team-high 78 tackles on the season and is well on his way to his fourth-career 100-tackle campaign and third in a row. After starting all 16 games for the first time in his career in 2008, Dansby has now started 34 consecutive games dating back to 2007 (38 including playoffs).Dansby has led the Cardinals in tackles the last two seasons. He recorded a career-high 128 tackles during the 2008season, surpassing his previous career-high of 117, established in 2007.

A product of Auburn, Dansby was selected by the Cardinals in the second round (33rd overall) of the 2004 Draft. The Cardinals placed the “non-exclusive” franchise tag on Dansby following the 2007 season, the first time they had used the tag on a player since 2002 (Kwamie Lassiter). The Cardinals placed the franchise tag on Dansby again following the 2008 season.

HAGGANS TIED FOR THE LEADLB Clark Haggans is in his 10th NFL season and second season with the Cardinals. After injuries forced him to IR after just 11 games in 2008, Haggans has returned as a starter in 2009 and is having a big impact on Arizona’s defense, culminating in his play in week 10 vs.Seattle.

His 1.5-sack performance against the Seahawks ties him with Darnell Dockett for the team lead with 4.0 sacks on the season, his highest total since recording 6.0 sacks in 2006 with the Steelers.

Haggans’ 1.5 sacks don’t tell how truly disruptive he was against the Seahawks. In addition to his sack total, he alsocollected five tackles, a tackle for loss and three QB hits.

A GREAT PICKUPThe Cardinals signed CB Bryant McFadden as a free agent in the offseason and the former Steeler and two-time Super Bowl champion is having one of the best seasons of his five-year career.

McFadden has recorded a team-high 24 passes defensed through the first 10 games of the season, including a career-high eight against the Giants in week seven. Before this season, McFadden’s career-high in pass breakups was 12, in 16 games with the Steelers in 2006.


RECAPPING THE SUPER BOWL RUNThe Cardinals capped the 2008 season with the most remarkable playoff run in franchise history, one that ended with the team’sfirst-ever Super Bowl appearance.Arizona qualified for the postseason by clinching its first division title since 1975 and the team’s first-ever NFC West crown. It was the team’s first playoff appearance since 1998 and first home playoff game since 1947.The Cardinals started out the season strong, jumping out to a 7-3 record and a three-game lead in their division. The Cardinals won the NFC West behind a perfect 6-0 division record, but stumbled late in the season with losses to Philadelphia, Minnesota and New England. Those losses had some critics questioning whether the Cardinals deserved a playoff berth.Arizona responded by rattling off three impressive postseason wins. Along the way they earned their first-ever Conference Championship and a meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLIIIAs the NFC West Champions, the Cardinals hosted their first playoff game since 1947, defeating Atlanta 30-24 in the Wild Card round. The Cardinals defense limited the Falcons #2 rushing offense to a season-low 60 rushing yards on 24 attempts. Arizona then traveled to Carolina where they faced the heavily favored Panthers. Carolina was the only NFL team to finish theregular season undefeated at home while Arizona was 0-5 on the east coast. Behind the play of WR Larry Fitzgerald and a defense that forced six turnovers (5 INTs), the Cardinals jumped all over the Panthers, winning 33-13.In what seemed like an unlikely scenario at the outset of the playoffs, the Cardinals returned home the following week to host the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game. Arizona won its first-ever conference title by defeating the Eagles 32-25 after storming out to a 24-6 halftime lead. The Eagles fought back in the second half to take a 25-24 lead before the Cardinals went on a14-play fourth quarter drive that ate up 7:52 and resulted in the game-winning TD.With the win, the Cardinals made their first-ever Super Bowl appearance. In front of a record national television audience of 151.6 million viewers, the Cardinals fell to the Steelers 27-23. Down 20-7 entering the fourth quarter, the Cardinals made the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, taking a 23-20 lead after a 64-yard TD pass from Kurt Warner to Fitzgerald with under 3:00 remaining. Pittsburgh responded with a 78-yard drive that ended with Santonio Holmes’ tip-toe TD reception and the game’s deciding score in one of the most exciting Super Bowls ever played.

Game 149ers 20, CARDINALS 16

September 13, 2009 – University of Phoenix Stadium (61,981)Arizona opened the season with a home loss to the 49ers in a game dominated by the

defenses and decided late. After spotting San Fran a 13-3 lead, the Cardinals took a 16-13 leadearly in the 4th quarter. The 49ers then turned in a 15-play, 80-yard drive and re-claimed the lead on a Frank Gore TD pass from Shaun Hill with 7:26 to go. The Cardinals, who enjoyed a 96-yard edge in total offense, were not able to answer. Defensively they limited SF to 21 rushing yards on 25 attempts (Gore 30 yards on 20 rushes) and forced 3-n-outs on 5 of San Fran’s 6 2nd half drives. The one exception was SF’s lengthy go-ahead TD drive and that was the difference.

On Arizona’s second drive of the game, Kurt Warner’s 3rd-n-18 pass to Jerheme Urban was INT’d by LB Patrick Willis setting the 49ers up at the AZ 36 and leading to a Joe Nedney FG. After a 3-n-out by the Cards offense, Nedey’s 50-yard FG put the Niners up 6-0. On the first play of the next drive, Warner and Urban connected on a 40-yard pass to the SF38 setting up Neil Rackers’ 44-yard FG to make it 6-3 early in the 2nd quarter. Later in the quarter, SF faced a 3rd-n-10 at its own 44 when a 50-yard Hill-to-Isaac Bruce pass took it to the 6. The next snap saw Gore score on a 6-yard run. On the next play from scrimmage, Warner attempted to pass while being dragged down but the pass was INT’d by Nate Clements and the 49ers took over at the AZ34 with 2:13 left in the half. A sack for minus-14 by DT Darnell Dockett backed it up to the 44 and then FS Antrel Rolle hit Hill while passing. The play was originally called an incompletion but after a booth review it was changed to a fumble and Cards recovery at the AZ40 with 1:15 left. RB Tim Hightower, who finished with 11 catches for 121 yards, caught a pair of passes for 27 yards helping AZ move into position for a Rackers FG as the half expired.

Arizona’s best offensive drive of the day came midway thru the 3rd when they moved 69 yards in 7 plays and tied the game on a 5-yard Larry Fitzgerald TD pass from Warner. The Cards then took the lead on their next possession thanks to a 43-yard Rackers FG. However, SF answered with their long go-ahead drive on which they converted four 3rd downs including Gore’s TD midway thru the 4th. Arizona was forced to punt on the next drive but was able to down it on the SF2. After stuffing 3 runs for minus-1, they got the ball back at the SF38 with 3:11 left but were backed up by 2 of their 12 penalties and failed to convert on 4th-n-5 from the SF33 just after the 2:00 warning. 49ERS 6 7 0 7 20

Game 2CARDINALS 31, Jaguars 17

September 20, 2009 – Jacksonville Municipal Stadium (46,520)Needing a road win at Jacksonville to even their record at 1-1, the Cardinals got it thanks to

a record-setting - and nearly perfect performance - from Kurt Warner plus another solid effort from the defense (4 sacks, 3 takeways). The week before, the Cardinals offense struggled to find its rhythm in the season opener vs. San Francisco. On a hot and muggy afternoon in Jacksonville, they found it. Warner completed his first 15 passes to tie the club record for consecutive completions (most ever to open a game) and set the NFL’s single-game record for completion percentage (92.3% on 24 of 26 passing). He threw for 2 TDs and was not sacked or intercepted before exiting the game late in the 3rd with the Cards up 31-3. A pair of late TDs brought the Jags to within 2 scores but it was as close as they got.

The Cards never trailed after moving 75 yards in 11 plays on the first drive and capped it with a 1-yard Tim Hightower TD run. They caught a break on the play before the TD when TE Anthony Becht recovered a Beanie Wells fumble near the goal line. The Jags and Cards then traded field goals and it was 10-3 when a Jacksonville drive that was set-up by a muffed Cardinal punt stalled at the AZ28. But on the game’s pivotal play, 6-8 DE Calais Campbell blocked the 38-yard Josh Scobee try and Antrel Rolle returned it 83 yards for a TD that made it 17-3. The Jags advanced to the AZ35 late in the 2nd but CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie forced a fumble by WR Troy Williamson and SS Adrian Wilson recovered at the AZ32. Six plays later, Warner hit RB Jason Wright on a 5-yard TD that made it 24-3 at intermission, marking the largest home first-half deficit in Jaguars history.

The Cards missed a 48-yard FG in the 3rd quarter but got the ball back on a David Garrard fumble forced by Karlos Dansby and recovered by Bertrand Berry at the JAX38. That led to a 22-yard Warner-to-Larry Fitzgerald TD pass that made it 31-3. It would be Warner’s last pass as he made way for Matt Leinart before the next AZ drive. Garrard connected with TE Marcedes Lewis on a 25-yard pass late in the 3rd and a 19-yarder to WR Mike Sims-Walker midway thru the 4th that made it 31-17.They had a chance to make narrow the gap on the next drive but WR Nate Hughes dropped consecutive passes in the end zone and the Jags turned it over on downs. Their final drive ended when Rodgers-Cromartie INT’d Garrard to seal the victory.

Game 3Colts 31, CARDINALS 10

September 27, 2009 – University of Phoenix Stadium (62,692)

The Cardinals dropped to 1-2 for the season (0-2 at home) by falling to the Colts in a nationally-televised Sunday night affair. Indy QB Peyton Manning threw 4 TD passes to 4 different receivers and amassed 379 yards through the air. Arizona counterpart Kurt Warner was pressured throughout the night by a ferocious Indy pass rush that sacked him 4 times, including twice by DE Dwight Freeney. Most costly, however, was a pair of Cardinal turnovers inside the Colt 5 that topped the list of missed Arizona opportunities.

Arizona held Indy scoreless in the 1st quarter and forced them to punt on their first 3 drives (including two 3-n-outs). Up 3-0 early in the 2nd thanks to a Neil Rackers FG, the Cards seemed poised to make it 10-0 when they had the ball deep in Colt territory but RB Tim Hightower fumbled and DB Antoine Bethea recovered at the Indy 5. The Colts then scored on their next 3 drives via Manning TD passes while AZ went 3-n-out in between. The TDs to WR Reggie Wayne, TE Dallas Clark, and WR Pierre Garcon put the Colts up 21-3. The Cards were at the doorstep again in the final minute of the first half but on 1st-n-goal from the 1, Warner’s pass to Larry Fitzgerald was tipped and INT’d in the end zone by Bethea.

Arizona opened the 2nd half by going no-huddle and found success. They moved 73 yards in 8 plays and capped the drive with a 10-yard Warner TD pass to Anquan Boldin that made it 21-10. The Cards caught a break when the next Indy drive reached the AZ14 but Adam Vinatieri’s 32-yard FG bounced off the left upright. On the next series Fitzgerald beat his man down the left sideline but Warner slightly overthrew him, missing a prime scoring opportunity that would have made it a 4-point game. Indy then capitalized when rookie RB Donald Brown turned a short pass from Manning into a 72-yard completion that set-up a 3-yard Joseph Addai TD reception and a 28-10 lead. The Cardinals would never threaten again and a 26-yard Vinatieri FG in the 4th quarter provided the game’s final points.

Game 4CARDINALS 28, Texans 21

October 11, 2009 – University of Phoenix Stadium (61,819)

The Cardinals returned from their bye week and evened their record at 2-2 with a down-to-the-wire home win over the Houston Texans. While the offense provided a large early cushion, it was the defense that stepped up late. The Cards D not only produced the game-winning TD late in the 4th but followed it with a huge goal-line stand that turned away the Texans on 3 straight plays from the 1-yard line in the game’s final minute.

The first-half was dominated by Arizona. A 1-yard Tim Hightower TD run capped the team’s opening drive and a pair of TD passes from Kurt Warner to Larry Fitzgerald in the final 1:44 of the 1st half gave AZ a 21-0 lead at intermission. The Cards also had huge statistical leads in almost every category, including 1st downs (18-5), total yards (297-130) and passing yards (262-92). The Cardinals missed a chance for another score in the 1st quarter when Anquan Boldin turned it over at the HOU 1 on a fumble but Calais Campbell prevented the Texans from converted the takeaway into points when he blocked Kris Brown’s 35-yard FG try.

That 21-point halftime advantage evaporated when Houston scored TDs on 3 straight possessions in the 3rd and 4th quarters. After Texans WR Andre Johnson tied the game with 6:59 to play on his second TD in as many drives, the Cardinals went 3-n-out and gave the ball back on a punt. Houston took over at its own 11 with 5:52 to play and advanced to its 42 before facing a 3rd-n-8 with 2:30 left. CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie then turned in the game’s decisive play when he stepped in front of a Matt Schaub pass intended for WR Kevin Walter and raced 49 yards down the right sideline for the pick-six. However, the Titans would not go away. Andre Davis returned the ensuing kickoff 63 yards, giving Houston the ball at the AZ40 with 2:30 remaining. Five straight Schaub passes quickly moved it to the 1. But after Chris Brown was stuffed for no gain on 2nd down and Schaub overthrew his open TE in the end zone on 3rd, the game came down to a 4th-n-goal play at the 1. With 0:47 left, the Cards defense secured the win when they stuffed Brown for no gain on a ruling that replay upheld.

Individually Warner became the fifth player with 50 career 300-yard days and also the 2nd to eclipse 13,000 yards with two different franchises (Fran Tarkenton, MIN & NYG). Also, Boldin moved past Roy Green and into second place on the club’s all-time receptions list. The win gave the Cardinals their first-ever win against Houston and left the Denver Broncos the only team against whom they have never recorded a victory.

Game 5CARDINALS 27, Seahawks 3

October 18, 2009 – Qwest Field (67,588)In a pivotal NFC West battle, Arizona headed to hostile Qwest field to face a Seahawks

team that has shut-out two of its first three home opponents, including a 41-0 blanking of Jacksonville the week before. But the Cardinals dominated throughout in what Ken Whisenhunt called the team’s most complete effort on both sides of the ball. The convincing 27-3 win moved Arizona into a first-place tie with idle San Francisco atop the NFC West. Offensively Kurt Warner was again very sharp, completing his first 12 passes en route to a completion percentage of 78 and passer rating of 100.8. Larry Fitzgerald matched a career-best with 13 catches and 100 yards with a TD. Defensively, AZ held Seattle to a franchise-low 14 rushing yards, sacked Matt Hasselbeck 5 times, and held the Seahawks to 3 plays or fewer on 8 of its 12 drives. Of Seattle’s 128 total yards, 42 came on a fake punt in the 2nd quarter that led to Seattle’s only points of the afternoon.

The Cards dominated from the get-go and had a 14-0 lead before the Seattle offense took the field. On the game’s opening drive, AZ went 80 yards in 15 plays and chewed 10:42 off the clock thanks to a solid rushing attack and Warner’s 9-9 passing. The final completion was a 2-yard TD pass to Fitzgerald. On the following kickoff, Neil Rackers pooched it perfectly between Seattle players and Greg Toler recovered at the SEA23. Three plays later, Tim Hightower ran it on from a yard out to give the visiting Cards a 14-0 lead. On the 3rd play of the ensuing Seattle drive, Clark Haggans sacked Hasselbeck forcing a fumble that Bryan Robinson recovered at the SEA23 and led to a Neil Rackers FG with 13:38 to play in the half. At that point, the Cards led 17-0 and the Seahawks offense had the ball for just 0:43. Midway thru the 2nd quarter, Seattle came up with its biggest play of the game when punter Jon Ryan executed a great fakeand threw it down the middle to TE John Carlson for a 42-yard gain to the AZ20. That drive reached the AZ3 but on 3rd down Kenny Iwebema’s sack forced Seattle to settle for an Olindo Mare FG that made it 17-3. The fake punt play would be the only time Seattle ventured into Arizona territory all afternoon.

The Seahawks offense found the going just as tough in the 2nd half. Steve Breaston’s 36-yard punt return to the SEA41 gave the Cards great starting field position and he capped that drive with a leaping 16-yard TD that made it 24-3. On the play, Warner reached 30,000 career passing yards and by doing so in just his 114th career game matched Dan Marino as the fastest player in NFL history to hit the milestone. Late in the 4th quarter, an Antrel Rolle INT off Hasselbeck set-up a 31-yard Rackers FG that accounted for the game’s final points. CARDINALS 14 3 7 0 27

Game 6CARDINALS 24, Giants 17

October 25, 2009 – Giants Stadium (78,299)The Cardinals headed east to face the 5-1 Giants in a nationally-televised Sunday night tilt

against Pro Bowl QB Eli Manning and the Giants #1 ranked defense. They came away with a huge win fueled by a defense that forced 4 takeaways and re-claimed sole possession of first place in the NFC West. The Cards improved to 3-0 on the road in ’09 and upped their overall mark to 4-2.

In a scoreless 1st quarter, Arizona’s best chance came on the game-opening drive that reached the NY27 but ended on a Tim Hightower fumble. The Cards evened the takeaway battle later in the quarter when CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie made a leaping INT of a deep Manning pass in the end zone. It was an INT by Giant CB Terrell Thomas early in the 2nd

quarter that set NY up at the AZ29 and led to a 4-yard Brandon Jacobs TD run. Later in the quarter, rookie RB Beanie Wells scored his first career TD on a 13-yard jaunt that knotted the score at 7. The Giants then got a gift on the next series when Manning went deep down the middle for Mario Manningham but Rodgers-Cromartie was in perfect position and batted the ball away. Unfortunately it caromed right to WR Hakeem Nicks who snatched it out of the air and turned it into a 62-yard TD with 2:09 left in the first half. The Cards responded on the next play from scrimmage when Anquan Boldin’s 44-yard catch took it to the NY19 and set-up a 30-yard Neil Rackers FG that made it 14-10 at intermission.

The tough Cardinal defense was especially so in the second half, allowing just one 1st down in the 3rd quarter and that came by penalty. Arizona’s first offensive drive saw a pair of long Kurt Warner passes to Larry Fitzgerald (26 & 27 yarders) set-up a 1-yard Hightower TD that gave the Cards their first lead. Later in the 3rd, DE Calais Campbell tipped a pass that SS Adrian Wilson INT’d and returned to the NY20. That led to a 6-yard Warner TD pass to RB Jason Wright that put AZ up 24-14. With 8:14 to go, the Giants reached the AZ2 and came away with a Lawrence Tynes FG that made it a 7-point game. NY would get the ball back twice more but the Cardinals defense responded to each challenge with huge plays. With 4:48 to play, RB Ahmad Bradshaw raced to the AZ44 but S Matt Ware forced a fumble that Wilson recovered to end the threat. With 1:15 left, the Giants had the ball at the AZ39 when S Antrel Rolle recorded the 3rd INT of the game off Manning when he stepped in front of a pass intended for Steve Smith, thereby sealing the game.

Game 7Panthers 34, CARDINALS 21

November 1, 2009 – University of Phoenix Stadium (62,031)The Panthers visited Arizona looking to avenge a home loss in the previous year’s Divisional

Playoff. They did just that in a near reversal of that contest, forcing 6 turnovers (5 INT, a fumble) while committing none. They also racked up 270 rushing yards against a Cardinal unit that entered the game ranked #1 in the NFL in that category. The victory improved the Panthers to 3-4 and snapped a 3-game win streak for Arizona, who fell to 4-3 but remained in first in the NFC West.

The teams traded TDs to open the game. Carolina had an efficient 15-play drive that ended on Jonathan Stewart’s 6-yard TD run. Arizona responded when Kurt Warner’s 14-yard TD pass to RB LaRod Stephens-Howling capped an 81-yard drive that tied the game. On the next play from scrimmage, DeAngelo Williams ran 77 yards to the Cards 7 setting up another Stewart rushing TD. Midway thru the 2nd quarter, the Panthers went up 21-7 when Jake Delhomme hit Steve Smith on a pump-n-go down the left sideline that was good for a 50-yard score. The play accounted for more than half of Carolina’s passing total for the day. Five seconds later, DE Julius Peppers snared a 1st

down pass that Warner tried to loft over him to Beanie Wells out of the backfield and Peppers returned the INT 13 yards for a TD that made it 28-7 at the half.

Arizona cut the lead to 14 on a 1-yard Warner TD pass to TE Ben Patrick with 6:13 to go in the 3rd. Delhomme left the game later in that quarter with a chest injury suffered on a hit by Darnell Dockett and Chike Okeafor. Down 14 with a full quarter to play, Arizona WR Jerheme Urban hauled in a pass but was separated from the ball by CB Chris Gamble and S Sherrod Martin grabbed it out of the air for another INT. The pick led to a 35-yard John Kasay FG that made it a 17-point margin. The Cards responded with a Tim Hightower TD followed by a 3-n-out from the defense. Arizona found itself at its own 39 with 7:13 to play and down 10. However, Peppers then sacked Warner forcing a fumble that the Panthers recovered and turned into a 31-yard FG that provided the game’s final points.

Game 8CARDINALS 41, Bears 21

November 8, 2009 – Soldier Field (62,309)On an unseasonably warm November afternoon in Chicago, Kurt Warner and the Cardinals

offense was even hotter. A week after throwing 5 INTs vs. Carolina, he matched his career-high with 5 scoring strikes. Warner TD passes ended the first four AZ drives and a pair of Neil Rackers FGs gave AZ points on its first 6 straight possessions. Two of the TDs went to Larry Fitzgerald who had 123 yards on 9 catches stepping up in the absence of fellow wideout Anquan Boldin (inactive/ankle). Behind a solid overall effort from the AZ o-line, Tim Hightower (77 yards) and Beanie Wells (72 yards) helped the Cardinal run game roll up 131 yards in the first half and 182 for the game. With thewin, AZ remained a perfect 4-0 on the road in ’09 and upped its overall mark to 5-3.

For the 5th time in 8 games, the Cards scored a TD on their opening drive. This one was an 11-yard Fitzgerald reception that capped an 8-play, 81-yard opening series. A key play was a 23-yard completion to Steve Breaston on 3rd-n-10, the first of 8 straight third down conversions to open the game. Also pivotal was the game’s 4th play when Bears DT Tommie Harris was ejected for slugging AZ guard Deuce Lutui. Chicago did answer Arizona’s opening TD drive with one of its own. A 42-yard Jay Cutler to Devin Hester pass led to the 1st of TE Greg Olson’s 3 TD catches on the day. But with a mix of run and pass, the Cards built a 28-7 lead thanks to Warner TD passes on the next threedrives – 6 yards to TE Ben Patrick, 17 to Fitzgerald and 15 to TE Anthony Becht. In the final minute of the first half, Bears kicker Robbie Gould was lined up for a 48-yard FG try but Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie deflected it. Antrel Rolle caught the miss 8 yards deep in the end zone and returned it 59 yards to the CHI49 with 0:22 left. It was enough time for Warner to move the team into position for Neil Rackers’ 43-yard FG as the half expired that gave AZ a 31-7 halftime lead.

The lead grew to 34-7 on a 30-yard Rackers FG midway thru the 3rd that provided that quarter’s only points. A 3-yard Olsen TD catch made it 34-14 and on the next AZ series Matt Leinart replaced Warner. However a pick by CB Zackary Bowman led to another Olsen TD that made it a 13-point game with 9:04 to go and Warner went back in. The Cardinal lead remained 13 when Chicago took over at its own 17 with 6:41 left. But on that drive’s 3rd play, S Matt Ware INT’d Cutler and returned it 18 yards to the 17. It set up the game’s final score, Warner’s 4-yard TD to Breaston.

Game 9CARDINALS 31, Seahawks 20

November 15, 2009 – University of Phoenix Stadium (62,278)The Cardinals improved to 6-3 and maintained their 2-game division lead with a come-from-

behind home win over the Seahawks. After trailing 14-0 in the 1st half, Arizona outscored Seattle 21-3 after intermission. Leading the way was rookie RB Beanie Wells who had a career-best 85 rushing yards and a pair of 2nd half TD runs. WR Anquan Boldin returned to the lineup and had 105 yards on 8 catches while Kurt Warner threw for 340 yards and a pair of TDs with no sacks or INTs.

The Cardinals had the first chance for points late in the 1st quarter. After a 46-yard interference call set Arizona up at the SEA8, CB Marcus Trufant had an apparent INT in the end zone. However, the Cards challenged that he did not re-establish in bounds after stepping out and referee Walt Coleman agreed. Two plays later, the Cards went for it on 4th-n-goal at the one but RB Tim Hightower was stopped short. On the next snap, Matt Hasselbeck hit T.J. Houshmandzadeh with a 53-yard pass down the right sideline. Five plays later RB Justin Forsett, who played most of the game in place of an injured Julius Jones, scored on an 11-yard rush to make it 7-0. Midway through the 2nd quarter, Seattle faced a 3rd-n-1 at the AZ31 when Hasselebeck hit TE John Carlson on a play action pass that went for a TD. The Cards answered quickly as Warner connected with WR Steve Breaston on a 28-yard scoring strike to cut the lead in half. A 32-yard Olindo Mare FG on the next drive upped the Seattle lead to 10 with 1:09 to go in the half. After a touchback, 5 straight Warner completions covered 77 yards to the SEA3. A holding penalty wiped out a Warner-to-Breaston TD pass but Neil Rackers’ 27-yard FG as the half expired made it 17-10.

The AZ offense moved downfield quickly to open the 2nd half but after reaching the SEA4 a Wells personal foul backed it up to the 19. Beanie atoned for the error when he converted a 4th-n-1 run for a 10-yard TD. Early in the 4th, an interference penalty in the end zone gave Seattle the ball at the AZ1 but an AZ defensive stand held them to just a FG. Down 20-17, the Cards responded quickly. A pair of Boldin catches covered 47 yards and led to Wells’ 13-yard TD on a 4-play, 80-yard drive. After a Seattle punt, Wells had a 23-yard catch and 29-yard run that helped set-up an 18-yard Warner TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald. Down 11 with 6:11 to play, Seattle would get the ball back 3 more times but a 3-n-out was followed by INTs from FS Antrel Rolle and SS Adrian Wilson.

Game 10CARDINALS 21, Rams 13

November 22, 2009 – Edward Jones Dome (59,839)

With a 21-13 win in St. Louis, the Cardinals upped their record to 7-3 and extended their division lead to 3 games after losses by the 49ers and Seahawks. The victory was Arizona’s 6th straight against the Rams and gave the Cards a 5-0 road mark for the first time since 1948. Kurt Warner improved his record as a starter at the Edward Jones Dome to 26-4 and had the Cards up 21-3before exiting late in the 2nd quarter with a head injury. RB Tim Hightower gained a career-best 110 rushing yards while Beanie Wells ran for another 74 yards and a TD. The Cards rolled up 400 yards of offense for the 3rd straight game and had a season-high 183 yards rushing. WR Anquan Boldin topped 100 receiving yards for the 2nd straight week and finished with 103 on 8 catches.

The Rams scored first when they capitalized on a Cardinal turnover. After Wells mishandled a pitch from Warner, St. Louis took over at the AZ25 but the Cards defense held them to just a FG. Arizona would score TDs on 3 straight drives to go up 21-3. A 50-yard Hightower rush set-up a 5-yard Warner TD pass to Boldin. That 87-yard scoring drive was followed by another of 90 yards thatended with an 11-yard scoring pass from Warner to Larry Fitzgerald. After stopping a 4th-n-1 Rams run, the Cards took over on downs and Wells capped a 9-play, 78-yard drive with his 1-yard TD run. Six plays before the score, Warner was injured when he hit his head on the turf after scrambling for a completion. He finished the drive but left the game after the TD. Matt Leinart came on in relief and completed 10 of 14 passes with no INTs or TDs.

The third quarter was scoreless until Rams RB Steven Jackson raced 48 yards to the AZ4 but the Cardinal D again stiffened and allowed just a FG. On the next series, Cards TE Anthony Becht fumbled after a catch and the Rams took over at the AZ44. After converting 3 straight 4th downs that included a 4th-n-11 at the AZ26, Jackson’s 1-yard TD run made it 21-13 with 7:08 left. The next St. Louis drive reached the AZ7 but Marc Bulger’s 4th down pass fell incomplete and the Rams again turned it over on downs. Leinart picked up a key 1st down with a 20-yard completion to Early Doucet on 3rd-n-4 at the AZ13 allowing the Cards to chew up key clock time and the Rams did not seriously threaten again.
