CARDS SPECIAL TEAMS MAKE HISTORY IN OT DEFEAT OF THE COWBOYS One of the team s most memorable regular season victories and a game that helped the Cardinals gain a firm grasp on first place in the NFC West came against Dallas in week six. The win was keyed by extraordinary special teams play and it came after special teams ace Sean Morey broke through the Dallas line and blocked Mat McBriar s punt following Dallas first possession in the overtime period. Backup linebacker Monty Beisel, who was right behind Morey on the blocked kick, scooped up the loose ball and returned it three yards for the game winning touchdown and a victory over the Cowboys. It was Beisel s first career touchdown. Morey s blocked punt marked the first time in NFL regular season history that a game has ended on a touchdown off of a blocked punt. Combined with J.J. Arrington s 93-yard return on the game s opening kickoff, the win marked the first time since at least the 1970 NFL-AFL merger that a team has scored a touchdown on the first and last plays of the game. A Few Facts About the Blocked Punt There have been three overtime games in NFL history that have ended on blocked field goal returns; the last was Philadelphia s Clyde Simmons picking up his own team s blocked field goal attempt and returning it 15 yards for a NY Giants (11/20/88). Coincidentally, the Eagles kicker who had his field goal blocked was Luis Zendejas, who is currently the Cardinals Senior Director of Community Relations. For the Cardinals, it was the first blocked punt returned for a touchdown since Tommy Bennett recovered a Matt Turk punt (blocked by J.J. McClesky) in the endzone at Washington on 9/14/97. It was Morey s second blocked punt as a member of the Cardinals the other was vs. Seattle on (9/16/07). It marked the first time the Cardinals have won in overtime when they lost the coin toss since 9-6 OT win vs. Dallas on 10/20/02. The touchdown in overtime vs. Dallas was the Cardinals second overtime touchdown in franchise history, with both coming on returns. There was Beisel s three-yard return on the blocked punt and on 10/29/95 vs. Seattle, Lorenzo Lynch returned an interception 72 yards for a touchdown in a win. It was the first blocked punt of Mat McBriar s career. THE PLAYERS 123

Rackers made four field goals against the Panthers (49, 30, 33, 20), establishing a new franchise postseason record for field goals in a game, surpassing the previous record of two, set by Jacke at Dallas on 1/2/99. His four field goals, combined with his three PATs in the game, gave him 15 points against the Panthers, the second-highest single-game total in franchise postseason history, trailing only the 18 points that Mario Bates totaled on three rushing TDs at Minnesota on 1/10/99 and the 18 points Larry Fitzgerald accumulated on three receiving TDs vs. Philadelphia on 1/18/09.

For all of his on-field accomplishments, including a Super Bowl XXXIV win, two NFL Most Valuable Player awards and four Pro Bowl selections, Warner s community work remains his biggest source of pride. After visiting flood-ravaged regions in 2008, he created a partnership with Habitat for Humanity to sponsor home builds throughout the Midwest. To date, he has raised over $650,000, including a $100,000 personal contribution, $100,000 from his foundation, and $100,000 each from the Arizona Cardinals and the NFL Disaster Relief Fund. Warner established the First Things First Foundation in 2001 and has personally contributed more than $1.5 million since then to fund trips for Make-A-Wish families, home builds for underprivileged families, and Punt, Pass and Kick clinics with Special Olympians.

46 CARDINALS IN THE COMMUNITY Kurt and his wife Brenda established First Things First in 2001 as a foundation dedicated to promoting Christian values, sharing experiences and providing opportunities to encourage everyone that all things are possible when people seek to put first things first. Some of the projects through which the foundation has enriched the lives of those less fortunate have included trips to Disney World for ill children, building recreation centers in children s hospitals, rewarding single parents who achieve the dream of homeownership and teaching Special Olympians football basics. The target outreach areas for First Things First include Arizona, Missouri and Warner s home state of Iowa. The highlight of the 2008 season for Kurt off the field was being honored as the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, the NFL s most prestigious award that recognizes a player s community contributions in addition to his on-field performance. In 2008, Warner pledged his support to the rebuilding effort in the Midwest following the devastating floods that pummeled the region. After traveling back to Cedar Rapids, IA to tour the destruction firsthand, he created a partnership with Habitat for Humanity to sponsor as many home builds as possible in the Midwest s hardest hit areas. Warner has raised over $650,000 including a $100,000 personal contribution, along with $100,000 each from his Foundation, the Cardinals and NFL Charities. Warner established the First Things First Foundation in 2001 and has contributed more than $1.5 million to actively initiate twelve on-going projects which affect people in communities in Phoenix, St. Louis, Iowa and beyond. A small sampling of First Things First s outreach includes: Since 2002, 57 Make-A-Wish and Dream Factory families from five different states have joined the Warner s for the annual week-long We re Going to Disney World trip. First Things First Homes for the Holidays program surprises first-time single parent homeowners with complete furnishings for their new home thanks to teammates like Aaron s Rents. Seventeen single mothers, 1 single dad, and 44 children from five states have benefited since The annual Warners Warm-up Coat Drive in partnership with Operation Food Search has collected more than 100,000 winter coats since 2001 which are distributed to men, women and children in the Missouri/Illinois region. PPK clinics with up to 50 Special Olympics athletes have been held in Phoenix, St. Louis and Iowa. To date, fifteen such clinics hosted by Kurt have taught the football basics to more than 700 athletes. Since 2001, Kurt and Brenda have made frequent visits to pediatric patients delivering Baskets of Hope and Smiles. The inspirational baskets are filled with toys, journals, bibles, prayer books and much more! The Mission: Possible! Scholarship program benefits high school and college-age youth participating in service-based mission trips in the U.S. Since 2005, 95 scholarships have been awarded totaling more than $108,000. In 2008, First Things First joined forces with the University of Phoenix to award up to six annual full-ride Bachelor Degree scholarships to clients served at partner organizations in Phoenix, Iowa and St. Louis. In addition to his tireless foundation work, Warner has always been a team player supporting team initiatives, as well as those of the NFL and other charities, during his eleven-year career. Recent examples include Super Kids Super Sharing, Keep Gym in Schools, Teddy Bear Express, Community Quarterback and ARC Disaster Relief.

51 THE GLOVED ONE The sight of Kurt Warner wearing gloves in games regardless of the conditions is now so commonplace it s hard to remember when he began the custom. Midway through the 2006 season, Warner started wearing them in practice to improve his grip. He first wore the gloves in a game on 12/24/06 at San Francisco and he has continued the practice ever since a total of 36 games in all (32 starts). In that span, the be-gloved Warner has been outstanding. He s completed 65.5% of his passes (805-1,229) for 9,608 yards with 69 TDs compared to 34 INTs and a passer rating of In that time, he s topped 300 yards 13 times (including two 400-yard games) and had a passer rating of 100+ on 15 occasions. At this point, it s more of a comfort thing, said Warner of the gloves. It s kind of the security of maybe having a little more grip on the ball than before. I don t feel like I am throwing the ball any different. Maybe the spirals are a little tighter but other than that, I don t notice that much of a difference. But now if I throw without them, it feels like something is missing. completing 325-of-499 passes for 4,353 yards, 41 TDs and 13 INTs his passer rating of was the fifth-highest in NFL history led NFL in TD passes, completion percentage (65.1), third down passer rating (137.3), fourth quarter passer rating (116.0), and was second in the league in passing yards set eight team records: QB rating, passing yards, completions, completion percentage/ season, completion percentage/ game (86.9), most games with 300 passing yards in a season (9), most consecutive 300-yard passing games (4), and most TD passes in a season, while tying record for most TD passes in a game (5) and tying NFL record for most 300 yards passing games in a season (since passed by Oakland s Rich Gannon in 2002) threw more TD passes in first four starts (14) than any player in NFL history, throwing three TD passes in opening victories vs. Bal (9/12), vs. Atl (9/26), Cin (10/3) and throwing a career-high five scoring passes in win vs. SF (10/10) threw for more passing yards (1,217) in first four starts than any player in NFL history led Rams on 19 scoring drives (17 TDs) between yards (team had four in 1998) and 11 TD drives between yards (team had five in 1998) threw for then careerhigh 351 yards in division title-clinching Car (12/5) had streak of 133 consecutive passes thrown without an INT in Games 4-8, third longest in team history completed 27-of-33 passes for 391 yards and five TDs in NFC Divisional Playoff Game vs. Min (1/16); threw game-winning 30-yard TD pass to Ricky Proehl with 4:44 remaining to give Rams 11-6 win vs. TB in NFC Championship Game (1/23) passed for Super Bowl record 424 yards in win over Tennessee (1/30); threw game-winning 73-yard TD pass to WR Isaac Bruce with 1:54 to play in the game. 1998: Saw first career action in the 4th quarter of Rams final game vs. SF (12/27); completed 4-of- 11 passes for 39 yards assumed the backup role behind Steve Bono for the final two games after a season-ending knee injury suffered by Tony Banks vs. NE (12/13) did not Car (12/20) inactive as third QB for the first 14 games. 1998: (NFL Europe): Started all 10 games for the Amsterdam Admirals led league in passing yards (2,101), attempts (326), completions (165) and TDs (15) (Arena Football): Passed for 10,486 yards and 183 TDs in three seasons with the Iowa Barnstormers (now New York Dragons) led Iowa to two straight Arena Bowl appearances named one of the top-ten players in Arena Football history to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the league.
