ARIZONA CARDINALS (6-3)

vs.

ST. LOUIS RAMS (1-8)

Edward Jones Dome

THIS WEEK’S GAME

The Cardinals head to St. Louis for their first meeting in 2009 with the Rams. Arizona enters the NFC West match-up with a 6-3 overall mark and two-game division lead over the 49ers. With last Sunday’s 31-20 win vs. Seattle, the Cards have won two straight and five of its last six. They will be looking for their 6th consecutive victory in the series vs. the Rams and 5th straight at the Edward Jones Dome.

Arizona enters Sunday’s game with a perfect 4-0 road record in ’09 and will be looking for five straight road wins in a season for the first time since ’75. The Cards, Colts, Saints and Bengals are the NFL’s only undefeated road teams.

Last week, Arizona trailed the Seahawks 14-0 in the 1st half but outscored them 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 AZ defense recorded 4 sacks plus two INTs and held Seattle to just one TD in four red zone trips.

The Rams enter this week’s contest at 1-8 following an inspired effort against the undefeated Saints. Led by Steven Jackson’s 131 rushing yards and a two-TD performance by WR Donnie Avery, St. Louis came up just short in a last-second comeback bid, falling 28-23. The Rams became the first team in NFL history to play three straight home games against undefeated teams (Vikings, Colts and Saints).

After playing at St. Louis, the Cards will be on the road again next Sunday when they make their first-ever appearance in Tennessee. Meanwhile, the Rams are home for the 3rd straight week and host Seattle.

LAST WEEK’S GAMECARDINALS 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.

STINGY ON THE ROADIn four road games this season, the Cardinals have allowed a total of 58 points and their 14.5 points allowed per game rank as the second-lowest total in the NFL behind the Indianapolis Colts (12.0).Fewest Points Allowed Per Game on the RoadTeam G Pts PPG1.

Pittsburgh 4 70 17.5Prior to the loss to the Cardinals in week nine, the Bears were 3-0 at home and had scored an average of 31.7 points per game over their first three home games. Overall, the four opponents the Cards have played on the road have a combined 11-6 home record in 2009. Arizona is the only home loss for Chicago (3-1) and Jacksonville (3-1).

WELLS & WARNER FUEL COMEBACKWith 8:35 remaining in the first half last week, Seattle led 14-0following a 31-yard TD pass from Matt Hasselbeck to TE John Carlson. With 6:17 to play in the game, the Cardinals took a 31-20 lead when Larry Fitzgerald dove for the pylon to complete an 18-yard TD reception.So what happened in that span of 32:18 that led to the Cardinals comeback? In large part it was the work of the oldest and youngest players on the Cardinals roster. During that stretch, Kurt Warner threw for 304 yards and 2 TDs while completing 22 of 25 passes (88%) and passer rating of 144. One of those three incompletions was a spike to kill the clock at the end of the half. In the same span, rookie RB Beanie Wellsran nine times for 57 yards and another two TDs.It marked the first time since 10/2/05 vs. San Francisco that the Cardinals overcame a deficit of 14+ points to win.

Their efforts did not go unnoticed. Wells is a candidate for Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week honors while Warner is a finalist for the FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week award. It is the second consecutive week Warner has been nominated for the FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week award, having won it for his five TD performance against the Bears in week nine, when he was also named NFC Offensive Player of the Week.


ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESSOn the strength of their 41-21 victory over the Bears in Chicago in week nine, the Cardinals have four consecutive road wins to open the season, something they have not accomplished since 1982 when they also opened the season 4-0 on the road. A victory over the Rams this week in St. Louis would give the Cardinals five straight road wins in a season for the first time since 1975.

Below are a few more facts about the Cardinals road success:

� Arizona notched its fifth consecutive road win in the victory over the Bears (including the 2008 postseason). The last time the Cardinals won five consecutive road games was 1975.

� The 41 points scored by Arizona in Chicago were the most scored in a road game since 1998, when they defeated the Redskins 45-42 in Washington on 11/22/98. That game against the Redskins also represents the only other time the Cardinals scored 31 points in the first half, dating back to the 1970 NFL-AFL merger.

� With their 41-21 victory over the Bears, the Cardinals have now outscored their opponents 123-58 in road games this season, for an average margin of victory of 16.3 points per game (30.8 points scored, 14.5 points allowed). The Cardinals have now won twice by at least 20 points this season on the road. The last time the Cardinals won two road games by at least 20 points in the same season was in 1984 (10/28 at Philadelphia, 34-14 and 12/2 at New England, 33-10).

� The Cardinals win was their first in Chicago since 1982.

� The Cardinals 30.8 points per game average on the road in ‘09 is tied for the third-best total in the NFL. Arizona is tied withMinnesota and trails only Indianapolis (32.8 PPG) and New Orleans (37.3 PG).

� The win vs. Chicago guarantees the Cardinals their first non-losing record on the road since finishing 4-4 in 2001.

� The win against the Giants in week seven snapped an 11-game road losing streak to teams from the NFC East.

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

� The Cardinals (4-0), Colts (4-0), Saints (4-0) and Bengals (4-0) are the only teams in the NFL that are undefeated on the road. The Saints and Colts are undefeated overall.

BALANCE STARTS WITH THE LINEIn their 25th consecutive regular season game with the same starting five, the Cardinals offensive line did not allow a sack for the second time this season last week, despite 38 pass attempts. They also led the way for the Cardinals to gain 122 yards and two TDs on the ground on 30 carries (4.1 avg.).

The Cardinals offensive line, consisting of starters Reggie Wells, Lyle Sendlein, Mike Gandy, Levi Brown and DeuceLutui, is tied with the NY Jets for the longest current streak with the same five starters. Including the 2008 postseason, the line has had the same five starters for the last 29 consecutive games

Their play has sparked the emergence of the Cardinals running game over the last two weeks while also doing an excellent job protecting QB Kurt Warner.

Against the Bears in week nine, the line led the way for the Cardinals to rush for a season-high 182 yards while also allowing just one sack in 32 pass attempts. Combined with last week’s totals against the Seahawks, the Cardinals have rushed for 304 yards on 61 attempts (4.9 avg.) over the last two weeks. In the same span, the line has allowed just one sack in 71 pass attempts.

The Cardinals now have a 4-0 record this season when allowing one sack or fewer in a game.

Over the last two games, the Cardinals offense is averaging450.0 yards per game. Arizona is averaging 152.0 yards per game on the ground and 298.0 yards per game through the air.

Last week’s game vs. Seattle marked the seventh 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 Whisenhunt said. “I am proud of the way they are playing as a group.”

STARTING WITH POINTSThe Cardinals have scored a TD on their first offensive possession in five out of nine games this season.

Their 35 points on first possessions are the second-most in the NFL behind the New Orleans Saints (38) and their five TDs match the Saints for the highest total in the league.

The Cardinals have scored on their first offensive possession in four of the last six games. Three of the Cardinals five opening possession TDs have been rushing TDs and two have come through the air.

LEADING IN BLOCKSThe Cardinals have blocked an NFL-high three field goal attempts this season, two by 6-8 defensive end Calais Campbell and 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.


CARDS ON TOP—NFC WEST AT A GLANCEThe Cardinals are 2-1 in the NFC West this season after last week’s 31-20 victory over Seattle and have a two-game lead in the division with a 6-3 record.

Warner played for the Rams from 1998-2003 and in that time was a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player and the MVP of Super Bowl XXXIV. Warner became one of the most prolific passers in NFL history as he re-wrote the St. Louis record books with MVP seasons in 1999 and 2001.

In 2008, Warner led the Cardinals to a season sweep of the Rams and completed 46 of 66 passes (69.7%) for 622 yards, three TDs, one INT and a passer rating of 108.3.

Warner has a 4-2 record as a starter against the Rams since coming to the Cardinals in 2005 and is looking for his fourth consecutive win. In his two starts at the Edwards Jones Dome (both wins) as a member of the Cardinals, Warner has completed 49 of 72 passes (68.1%) for 628 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INTs and a 118.3 passer rating.

ANOTHER HOMECOMINGThe Cardinals visit St. Louis this week and for the second consecutive road game this season, they will be playing in a city they formerly called home. In week nine, the Cardinals traveled to Chicago to face the Bears.

The Cardinals were based in St. Louis from 1960 to 1987 before heading west to Arizona. The Cardinals moved to St. Louis from Chicago in 1960, where they began playing in 1898 as the Morgan Athletic Club, a neighborhood group that played in Chicago’s South Side, and evolved to the Chicago Cardinals.

The Rams relocated to St. Louis from Los Angeles in 1995.The Rams spent 49 years in southern California before they moved the franchise to St. Louis. In their first year in the “Show Me State” the Rams played home games in Busch Stadium, where the football Cardinals played their home games during their 28 years in St. Louis.

The Cards hold the distinction as being the United States’ oldest professional football franchise still in existence.

This week’s visit will mark the 9th game the Cardinals have played in St. Louis since moving to Arizona following the 1997 season. The Cards have a 5-3 record in St. Louis in their previous eight trips. Arizona has won the last four meetings between the two teams in St. Louis.

ALUMNI TO GATHER IN ST. LOUISAlthough the Cardinals no longer play in St. Louis, the organization maintains a strong relationship with its alumni from its days there.

The team will host a reception this week in its former host city to honor some of its former players.

Among the former players expected to attend the reception are:

G/C Irv Goode WR J.T. SmithWR Mel Gray LB Larry StallingsRB Willard Harrell WR Earl ThomasTE Jerry Holloway CB Roger WehrliTE Doug Marsh LB Eric WilliamsLB Terry Milller S Larry WilsonDT Bob Rowe G Keith WortmanDE Council Rudolph DE Ron Yankowski

ANOTHER QB CONNECTIONKurt Warner isn’t the only former Rams quarterback now with the Cardinals. The man who now serves as his position coach, Chris Miller, was the quarterback for the Rams from 1994-95.

During two seasons with the Rams, Miller started 23-of-26 games and completed 405-of-722 passes for 4,727 yards, 34 TDs and 29 INTs.

Miller, now in his first season as the Cardinals quarterbacks coach, began his NFL playing career as a first round selection of the Atlanta Falcons in 1997. He played seven seasons with the Falcons, including a Pro Bowl season in 1991, before signing with the Rams in 1994 as an unrestricted free agent.

After sitting out of football for three seasons due to medical advice following concussions, Miller spent his final NFL season with the Broncos in 1999.


WINNING IN THE NFC WESTWith Arizona’s 31-20 win last week vs. Seattle, the Cardinals enter this week’s game against the Rams with an 11-4 record against NFC West rivals dating back to 2007. Arizona has won nine of their last 10 games against NFC West opponents.

The Cardinals have won their last four road games against NFC opponents, with their last loss coming in Seattle on 12/9/07. If they defeat the Rams this week, 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 toSan Francisco on 12/14.

CARDINALS AND RAMS IN 2008

CARDINALS 34, Rams 13November 2, 2008 – Edward Jones Dome (61,303)

The Cardinals closed the first half of the season with an important NFC West tilt at St. Louis. AZ racked up a season-high 510 yards of offense behind a Kurt Warner-led passing attack and a run game headed by rookie Tim Hightower, who made his first career start. Warner was again sharp against his old team completing 23-34 passes (67.6%) for 342 yards and 2 TDs with no turnovers. Hightower became the first Cards rookie to top 100 rushing yards since 1993. Defensively, AZ allowed just 231 total yards and 61 rushing, both season lows. The game turned in the 2nd quarter when the Cards outscored the Rams 24-0 and outgained them 229-18. AZ improved to 5-3 with the win and extended its division lead to 3 games over the Rams, 49ers and Seahawks (all 2-6).

The early going was not exactly easy for the Cards. They marched downfield on the opening drive and appeared to score on a 1-yard Hightower run on 3rd-n-goal. However, a successful St. Louis challenge reversed the TD call and Warner was stopped for no gain on a 4th down sneak. After the teams exchanged punts, St. Louis took over at its own 20 on the game’s 4th series. On 1st down, Marc Bulger went deep down the left sideline to WR Derek Stanley who hauled in the pass for his first career catch and an 80-yard TD. Early in the 2nd, the Cards evened the game at 7 when FS Antrel Rolle stepped in front of a Bulger pass and returned the pick 40 yards for his 4th career INT-TD. On the next Rams drive, SS Adrian Wilson sacked Bulger and forced a fumble that DE Bertrand Berry recovered at the Ram 23. That led to a 36-yard Neil Rackers FG that made it 10-7. On their next drive, the Cards moved 92 yards in 5 plays and Hightower scored on a 30-yard burst just after the 2:00 warning. A 3-n-out quickly gave AZ the ball back at its own 44. When Warner threw it deep down the right sideline, the ball bounced off the hands of DB Jonathan Wade and straight to WR Jerheme Urban at the 30. That 56-yard TD gave AZ a 24-7 halftime lead.

The Cards scored the 3rd quarter’s only points when Anquan Boldin’s 7-yard TD grab ended an 8-play, 82-yard drive that made it 31-7. The Rams made it 31-13 early in the 4th on a 3-yard Torry Holt TD pass but the Cardinals then ended any comeback hopes on the next series. A 12-play drive netted a 30-yard Rackers FG but more importantly chewed 8:50 off the clock. St. Louis’ final possession ended with a Rod Hood INT off Bulger.

CARDINALS 34, Rams 10December 7, 2008 – University of Phoenix Stadium (63,720)

The Cardinals clinched their first playoff appearance since 1998, first division title since ‘75 and first home playoff came since ’47 thanks to a convincing home win over the Rams. Arizona scored TDs on its first 2 drives to take the early lead and a pair of 2nd half defensive TDs put it out of reach. Kurt Warner threw for 279 yards and set the club’s single-season record for completions with a 22-37effort. Anquan Boldin became the first player in team history to record four 1,000-yard campaigns and moved into 3rd on the club’s all-time receptions list. Defensively, MLB Gerald Hayes forced Steven Jackson fumbles on the first two drives of the second half while DT Darnell Dockett & CB Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie each scored their first career touchdowns.

Arizona came out of the gates quickly as Warner took the team 76 yards in 10 plays and RB Tim Hightower rushed for his 10th TD of the season to set the club rookie record. The next Cardinal drive ended when Larry Fitzgerald caught a 10-yard scoring pass from Warner capping a 6-play, 63-yard drive. Warner’s lone miscue of the day came on the next series when he was INT’s by Ron Bartelt who returned it 24 yards to the AZ6. That led to St. Louis’ only TD of the day, a 3-yard Marc Bulger to Jackson pass. Arizona then added a pair of Neil Rackers field goals (44 & 22 yarders) to take a 20-7halftime lead.

St. Louis opened the 2nd half by advancing to the AZ24 and appeared poised to make it a one score game. However, Hayes forced a Jackson fumble that fellow LB Karlos Dansby recovered to kill the drive. On the 2nd play of the next Rams drive, Hayes again forced a Jackson fumble and Dockett not only recovered but returned it 11 yards to the end zone. Josh Brown’s 51-yard FG with 10:21 left made it 27-10 and it remained that wait until late in the 4th. With 3:11 to go and the Rams at the AZ10, Rodgers-Cromartie stepped in front of a Bulger pass near the goal line and returned it a franchise record-tying 99 yards for a TD that provided the exclamation point on the historic win.

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 nine 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.

CARDS PULL IN HUGE TV RATINGSThrough the first nine weeks of the 2009 regular season, the Cardinals have enjoyed the largest local TV ratings increase in the NFL.Cardinals game broadcasts have averaged a 21.3 rating and 39 share while reaching an average of 397,000 homes.

That is an increase of 36% over the same period last year and represents the largest percentage increase in the National Football League.

Those figures do not include last Sunday’s win vs. Seattle that garnered a 25.1 overnight rating and 45 share on FOX 10 locally.

As has been the case for all eight games in ‘09, the Cardinals telecast again ranked as the week’s most-watched television program in Phoenix.

CONFERENCE SEEDINGBelow is a quick look at the current top seeded teams in the NFC after the first 10 weeks of the 2009 season. The Cardinals are tied with the Dallas Cowboys for the third seed in the NFC heading into week 11.

WARNER REACHES 200Kurt Warner’s 18-yard TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald in the fourth quarter last week against the Seahawks 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. Warner passed Phil Simms (199) on the NFL career TD passing list.

In reaching 200 TD passes in his 118th career game, Warner became the fifth-fastest QB in NFL history to reach the career milestone.

Warner has averaged 263.6 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).

Last week 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.

Last week was 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 40 starts, Warner has thrown for 11,083 yards for the Cardinals, an average of 277.1 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 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 93.6. 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 (200) 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 118 to rank 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 43.2% 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 40 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 40-game starts streak ranks seventh behind Brett Favre (300), Peyton Manning (200), Eli Manning (87), Drew Brees (76), Philip Rivers (61) and Jay Cutler (46).Below is a look at Warner’s stats over his last 40 consecutive starts (including playoffs) compared to the first 40 starts of his career.Current StreakVitals: Spans ages of 36 to 38 / 1 perfect game / 4 playoff games / 15 300-yard games / 17 games with 100+ passer ratingStat Att Comp Pct.

Warner’s current 40-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 last week vs. Seattle, Warner attempted 38 passes without getting sacked. The Cardinals improved to 4-0 on the season when Warner is sacked once or fewer in a game. It was the second game this season the offensive line did not allow a sack.Below is a look at Warner’s performance this season based on the number of times he gets sacked:0-1 Sacks (4-0)Gms Att Com Pct.

ON TRACK TO TOP HIMSELF�With 18 TD passes through the first nine 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 352 pass attempts through the first nine games, Warner is on pace to throw 625 passes this season, which would shatter his franchise record of 598 attempts, set in 2008.

�With 236 pass completions, Warner is on pace to throw 419 completions on the season, which would break his current franchise record of 401 completions, also set in 2008.

COULD IT HAPPEN AGAIN?Larry Fitzgerald (63), Tim Hightower (45) and Anquan Boldin (43) 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 havethree 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 73 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.

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 days

Last 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.

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.

Most recently, Fitzgerald passed Mel Gray (6,644) for fifth place on the franchise receiving yardage list last week with his 73 receiving yards against the Seahawks. The week before, against Chicago, Fitzgerald moved past Frank Sanders into sixth place on the receiving yardage list.

This week, Fitzgerald needs five receptions to pass Frank Sanders (493) and move into fourth place on the career receptions list. Playing in his 86th career game this week in St. Louis, Fitzgerald needs 11 receptions to reach 500 for his career. If he reaches 500 career receptions this week, 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 105 receiving yards put him in a third-place tie with Pat Tilley on the career list, each with 7,005 receiving yards.

BREASTON, THE NOT SO SECRET WEAPONIn the eight 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 73 passes for 1,021 yards this season.

If he reaches the 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 21 regular season games compared to his first 19 NFL games:

First 19 Games Last 21 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 last week against Seattle. With three TD receptions in 2009, Breaston has tied his career single-season high for TD receptions, established in 2008.

ON PACE FOR 100With 63 receptions for 705 yards through the first nine games, Larry Fitzgerald is on track for another 100-catch season. He is on pace for 112 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.

ADDING TO HIS RECORDAnquan Boldin’s 105 receiving yards last week marked his 25th career 100-yard game, adding to his franchise record. It was the first 100-yard receiving game for Boldin in 2008.Larry Fitzgerald sits in second place behind Boldin with 22 career 100-yard games.

BACK ON TOPLarry Fitzgerald’s 18-yard TD reception in the fourth quarter last week was his eighth TD reception of the season, tying him with Indianapolis’ Reggie Wayne for the most receiving TDs in the NFL.

Fitzgerald is on pace to catch a career-high 14 TD receptions this season. In 2008, Fitzgerald and Detroit’s Calvin Johnson tied for the NFL lead with 12 TD receptions. Anquan Boldintrailed right behind with 11, despite playing in just 12 games. Both Boldin and Fitzgerald established career-highs it TD receptions in 2008.

Dating back to last season, and the 2008 playoff run, Fitzgerald has 21 TD receptions in his last 18 games.

VERY SPECIAL TEAMSP Ben Graham is having a Pro Bowl caliber year and had one of his best games last week against the Seahawks. Graham punted seven times for 364 yards against Seattle, an average of 52.0 yards per punt. He landed three punts inside the Seahawks 20-yard line, with two inside the 10. For the season, Graham’s 48.2-yard net punting average is the best in the NFC and second-best in the NFL behind Oakland’s Shane Lechler (51.5).

Graham now has 23 punts landed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line on the season, the third-most in the NFL behind Cleveland’s Dave Zastudil (25) and Kansas City’s Dustin Colquitt (27). Graham’s combination of distance and accuracy this season has been unmatched. Among the NFL’s top 10 players in net punting average, Graham’s 23 punts inside the 20-yard line are four more than the next-highest players (Lechler and Lee, 19).

Combined with Graham’s punting, the Cardinals kickoff coverage with Neil Rackers has made the team’s special teams units one of the best in the league.

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.

Last week 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. With 85 rushing yards on 16 carries and 32 receiving yards on two receptions, Wells totaled 117 yards from scrimmage, an average of 6.5 yards per touch.

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

In his last four games, Wells has carried the ball 51 times for 271 yards (5.3 avg.) and three TDs.

With 395 yards on the season, Wells now ranks second in the NFL in rushing yards among rookies, behind only Denver’s Knowshon Moreno (520). Wells’ 4.6 yards per carry average is the best among all rookie runners and his three rushing TDs are also tops among rookies.

Although he is sharing carries with second year RB Tim Hightower, Wells is in within reach of a 1,000-yard season if he continues to play the way he has the last few weeks. Wells would have to average 86.4 yards per game over the final seven games to reach the 1,000-yard mark.

Below is a list of the top five rushing totals for rookie running backs in franchise history.

CARDS NEWEST RECEIVING THREATRB Tim Hightower has 45 receptions on the season, the second-highest total in the NFL among running backs. Hightower has already surpassed his reception total from his rookie season, when he caught 34 passes on the year.

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.Most Receptions In a Game By RB—Franchise HistoryRec Player (Game)13 Larry Centers (vs. StL, 9/29/96, OT)12 Tim Hightower (vs. SF, 9/13/09)12 Larry Centers (vs. Dal, 12/25/95)12 Ottis Anderson (at Was, 12/16/84)

With 45 receptions through nine games, Hightower is on pace to catch 80 passes this season, which would rank as the third-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.Most Receptions In a Season By RB—Franchise HistoryRec Player (Year)101 Larry Centers (1995)99 Larry Centers (1996)77 Larry Centers (1994)73 Michael Pittman (2000)70 Ottis Anderson (1984)

THE “OTHER” ROOKIE RUNNING BACKSeventh-round draft picks don’t usually get much publicity early in their NFL career and 5-7, 185-pound RBs are also a rarity. Neither of those factors has stopped rookie RB LaRod Stephens-Howling from making an impact for the Cardinals this season.

In the first nine games, he has been a standout on special teams, leading Arizona with 16 special teams tackles on the year.

In week eight against the Panthers, Stephens-Howling scored his first career TD, a 14-yard reception from Kurt Warner and also notched a season-long 53-yard kickoff return that set up another Cardinals TD.

For the season, Stephens-Howling has returned 26 kickoffs for 593 yards (22.8 avg.), leads the team with 16 special teams tackles, has six receptions for 58 yards and a TD and has also run the ball three times out of the backfield.

It is impressive production for the Cardinals seventh-round selection in 2009 draft out of Pittsburgh. Taken with the 240th

overall pick, Stephens-Howling didn’t start his final two seasons in college, instead serving as the backup to Philadelphia second round pick (54th overall), LeSean McCoy.


WHAT TO LOOK FOR�With a win in St. Louis this week, the Cardinals would have five straight road wins for the first time since 1975. That was also the last year the Cardinals won at least five road games in a single season.

�Including the Divisional playoff game in Carolina last season, the Cardinals will be looking for their sixth consecutive road win overall. The Cardinals have not won six consecutive road games since winning eight in a row between 1947 and 1948.

�The Cardinals are looking for their sixth consecutive win over the Rams, and seventh win in the last eight games. The Cardinals have not won six consecutive games against a single opponent since winning nine consecutive against the Eagles between 1974-78.

�Larry Fitzgerald needs needs five receptions to pass Frank Sanders (493) and move into fourth place on the career receptions list. Fitzgerald enters this week’s game with 489 receptions.

�Playing in his 86th career game this week, Fitzgerald needs 11 receptions to reach 500 for his career. If he reaches 500 career receptions this week, only Boldin (80 games) will have reached the total faster in NFL history.

�Kurt Warner needs 324 passing yards this week to pass Charley Johnson (14,928) and move into fourth place on the franchise career passing yardage list. Warner enters the game with 14,605 yards passing with the Cardinals.

�If Warner finishes this week’s game with a passer rating of 100.0 or better, he will have three consecutive starts with a rating over 100.0 for the first time since 2001 (weeks 2-4). It will be just the fourth time in his career.

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

�With a sack this week, Darnell Dockett and Clark Hagganswould have at least a partial sack in each of the last three games.

�Bertrand Berry needs a sack this week to pass Al Baker (37.5) and move into sixth place on the Cardinals all-time sacks list.

STEADY AS HE GOESAfter making a name for himself with a dominant performance in Super Bowl XLII against the Steelers, Darnell Dockett is having another good season in 2009 and looking for a return to the Pro Bowl.

With three sacks in Super Bowl XLIII against Pittsburgh, Dockett tied the NFL record for sacks in a Super Bowl, a record he now shares with Hall of Famer and sack legend Reggie White.

In the first nine games, Dockett has totaled 37 tackles, 2.5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss. He recorded a season-high three tackles for loss against Carolina and in the last two weeks, Dockett has recorded 1.5 sacks, taking down Jay Cutler in Chicago for his second sack of the season and sharing in a sack of Matt Hasselbeck last week. For the third time the in the last four weeks, Dockett recorded six tackles last week against Seattle.

As good as he has been for the Cardinals, Dockett has been more reliable. He has started every game the last four-plus years for Arizona and has an ongoing streak of 74 consecutive starts, the team’s longest active streak. Dockett has started 88 of 89 games in his first five-plus NFL seasons and has never missed a contest.


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 last week. He enters this week’s game vs. St. Louis needing one sack to join the 20/20 club

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 nine 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 nine games, Campbell has totaled 31 tackles, along with 3.5 sacks and four passes defensed.

Campbell’s contributions aren’t limited to defense either. In week two in Jacksonville, he blocked a 38-yard FG attempt that would have cut the Cardinals lead to 10-6. 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.

Against Houston two weeks later, Campbell blocked a 35-yard FG attempt by Texans kicker Kris Brown.

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 23 passes defensed through the first nine 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.

McFadden’s 55 tackles on the season rank second on the team. For his career, he has 203 tackles, seven INTs, 59 passes defensed.

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 57 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 last week, 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. With 428 yards on 12 INT returns, Rolle averages 35.7 yards per return.

Below is a breakdown of Rolle’s six career TDs:

9/20/09 at Jacksonville (83-yard Blocked FG Return)1/3/09 vs. Atlanta (27-yard Fumble Return)11/2/08 at St. Louis (40-yard INT Return)12/30/07 vs. St. Louis (47-yard INT Return)11/18/07 at Cincinnati (55-yard INT Return)11/18/07 at Cincinnati (54-yard INT Return)

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 21 career starts at cornerback. His first three career starts came as a nickel back last season. He has two INT returns for TDs in his career, the latest coming against the Texans.HAGGANS TAKES THE LEAD

LB 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 last week vs.Seattle.

His multi-sack performance against the Seahawks gives him a team-high 4.5 sacks on the season, his highest total since recording 6.0 sacks in 2006 with the Steelers.

Although it is an impressive number by itself, Haggans 2.0 sacks last week don’t tell how truly disruptive he was against the Seahawks. Haggans shared in three sacks of Matt Hasselbeck, recording a full sack and sharing sacks with Darnell Dockett and Karlos Dansby.

In addition to his sack total, Haggans collected five tackles, a tackle for loss and three QB hits during the Seattle game.


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.

SPREADING THE WEALTHThe Cardinals have 25 sacks on the season and they continue to come from all over.

The Cardinals’ 25 sacks are spread among 12 different players. Most recently, Bryan Robinsonadded his name to the list last week with his takedown of Matt Hasselbeck, his first sack of the season.The Cardinals sack totals in 2009:

Clark Haggans – 4.5Chike Okeafor – 3.5Calais Campbell – 3.5Bertrand Berry – 3.0Alan Branch – 2.0Darnell Dockett – 2.5Antrel Rolle – 1.5Kenny Iwebema – 1.0Will Davis – 1.0 Bryan Robinson – 1.0 Karlos Dansby – 1.0Adrian Wilson – 0.5

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 676 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).Onside Kick Conv.—Active Players (min. 10 att.)Player (Team) Att Conv Conv%David Akers (Phi) 15 7 46.7Neil Rackers (Ari) 21 9 42.9Joe Nedney (SF) 29 10 34.5Matt Stover (Ind) 18 6 33.3Craig Hentrich (Ten) 12 4 33.3

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.

STOPPING THE RUNThe Cardinals performance against the run at Seattle in week six is tied for the fourth-best in franchise history dating back to 1970. Below is a look at the Cardinals top five performances against the run dating back to the 1970 NFL-AFL merger.Top 5 Games vs. the Run—Modern Franchise HistoryDate Yds Att Avg11/11/07 vs. Det -18 8 -2.311/20/05 @ StL 6 12 0.51/1/06 @ Ind 11 10 1.110/18/09 @ Sea 14 11 1.312/18/83 vs. Phi 14 12 1.2Notes�The Lions negative-18 yard rushing total in the 2007 matchup stands as the lowest in a game since the NFL adopted its modern statistical rules regarding rushing plays in 1947. Prior to 1947, what are now called sacks were included in rushing yardage totals. There are six players on the current Cardinals roster that started on defense that game (Gabe Watson, Darnell Dockett, Karlos Dansby, Gerald Hayes, Adrian Wilson and Bertrand Berry).�The Colts 11 yards rushing on 1/1/06 stand as their second-lowest rushing total in franchise history.�The Rams 6 rushing yards on 11/20/05 ranks as the second-lowest rushing total in their franchise history.�In holding Seattle to 14 yards rushing on 10/18/09, the Cardinals defense held the Seahawks to their lowest rushing output in franchise history.


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’s first-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 the regular 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 a 14-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.

WHAT THE CARDINALS ACCOMPLISHED IN 2008

�The Cardinals recorded 12 wins in 2008, the most in a single-season in franchise history. They won more playoff games in 2008 (3) than they had in their total playoff history (2) entering the season.

�Including the playoffs, the Cardinals finished 8-2 at University of Phoenix Stadium in 2008, bringing their overall record to 14-4 at home in two seasons under Whisenhunt.

�The Cardinals finished the regular season by scoring a franchise record 427 points, the third-highest total in the NFL in 2008. Their 118 points scored in the postseason were the third-most in playoff history.

�Arizona finished the regular season with the fourth ranked offense in the NFL and the second ranked passing offense. It markedthe third time in the last four seasons that the Cardinals passing offense has been ranked among the league’s top five.

QB Kurt Warner�Was selected to his fourth career Pro Bowl and first since 2001 as a member of the Rams.

�Threw for 377 yards in Super Bowl XLIII, the second-highest total in Super Bowl history, behind the 414 yards he threw for against Tennessee in Super Bowl XXXIV. He now has the top three passing totals in Super Bowl history, having also thrown for 365 yardsagainst New England in Super Bowl XXXVI.

�Warner established regular season franchise records for attempts (598), completions (401), completion percentage (67.1), passer rating (96.9), TD passes (30) and consecutive games with a TD pass (22). He also passed for 4,583 yards, the second-highest total in franchise history (Neil Lomax—4,614, 1984).

WR Larry Fitzgerald�Had one of the best postseasons of any player in NFL history, shattering the NFL record for receiving yards (546), receptions (30), and receiving TDs (7) in a single postseason.

�For the second consecutive season, led the NFC in both receptions and receiving yards, hauling in 96 receptions for a career-high 1,431 yards. He also established a career-high with 12 TD receptions during the regular season. He tied Detroit’s Calvin Johnson for the league lead in TD receptions, finished second in the league in receiving yards and tied for fourth in receptions.

�Became the youngest receiver in NFL history (25 years, 119 days) to collect 400 career receptions, reaching the milestone vs. the Giants on 11/23/08. He broke the mark previously held by Randy Moss (25 years, 305 days).

WR Anquan Boldin�Despite missing four games due to injury, caught 89 passes for 1,038 yards and 11 TDs during the regular season, earning his third trip to the Pro Bowl as a starter. His 1,000-yard season was the fourth of his career for the Cardinals, becoming the first receiver in franchise history to accomplish the feat.

DT Darnell Dockett�With three sacks in Super Bowl XLIII against the Steelers, he tied the NFL record for sacks in a Super Bowl, a record he now shares with Hall of Famer and sack legend Reggie White. He also added six tackles and two tackles for a loss in a dominant Super Bowl performance.

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 wingave 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 fake and 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 the win, 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 three drives – 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.
