1 Arizona Cardinals Football Club Game Release Game # 13 THIS WEEK S GAME Arizona will play its second straight prime time game a first in franchise history - when they take on the 49ers in San Francisco on Monday night. This marks the third consecutive season the Cardinals and 49ers have met on Monday Night, with the previous two games being decided by a combined seven points. The Cards are coming off a huge home win over Minnesota last Sunday night thanks to a complete effort that saw them neutralize the Vikings weapons. Brett Favre entered the game with three INTs all season but threw two in the 3 rd quarter while Adrian Peterson was limited to 19 yards (13 carries) for the 2 nd lowest total of his career. Facing the NFL leader in total sacks, an inspired effort from the Cards O-line held the Vikings sack-less for the first time in 24 games. Kurt Warner returned from a one-game absence (head) and was exceptional. He threw three first half TDs - two to Anquan Boldin, one to Larry Fitzgerald - and finished 22 of 32 for 285 yards. The win over Minnesota upped Arizona s record to 8-4 and extended its division lead to three games with four to play. That 8-4 mark is the team s best record through 12 games since 1976 (also 8-4). The Cardinals can clinch the NFC West title with a win on Monday night. It would be the team s second straight division crown. With a victory, the Cards would also match their regular season win total from a year ago. The 49ers look to rebound from a loss at Seattle. Alex Smith threw for a career-best 310 yards and two TDs and TE Vernon Davis had 6 catches for a career-high 111 yards and his 10 th TD of the season. However, Olindo Mare s 30-yard FG as time expired gave the Seahawks a three-point win. After the 49ers, the Cardinals will close the road portion of their regular season schedule at Detroit. The 49ers travel across the country to take on the Eagles in Philadelphia.

The Vikings offense featured all pros Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson while their 5 th -ranked defense led the league in sacks behind NFC sack leader Jared Allen s Arizona more than met the challenge. Favre, who entered the game with 3 INTs all season, threw 2 in the 3 rd quarter. Peterson was limited to 19 yards (13 carries) for the 2 nd lowest total of his career and the Vikings were held sackless for the first time in 24 games behind inspired offensive line play, highlighted by LT Jeremy Bridges, filling in for starter Mike Gandy. Kurt Warner returned from a onegame absence (head) and was exceptional. He threw 3 first half TDs - 2 to Anquan Boldin, 1 to Larry Fitzgerald - and finished 22 of 32 for 285 yards. The win upped Arizona s record to 8-4 and extended its division lead to 3 games with 4 to play. The game didn t start well for AZ. RB Tim Hightower lost a fumble at the AZ47 on the game s 2 nd play and that ultimately led to a 3-yard Favre TD pass to TE Visanthe Shiancoe. Later in the first, Steve Breaston s 64-yard punt return to the 2 set-up to a Warner TD pass to Boldin on the next play. While the AZ defense sent the Vikings attack 3-n-out on 3 straight series, the Cards offense was clicking. Midway thru the 2 nd, they went up 14-7 when Warner connected with Boldin on a 39-yard TD. Minnesota advanced deep into AZ territory on the next drive but came away with just a FG at the 1:55 mark. That left enough time for Warner to put the Cards back in the end zone. He completed all 5 passes (72 yards) and capped the drive with a 34-yard TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald. The Vikings got the ball to start the 2 nd half and advanced to the AZ45 but LB Karlos Dansby ended the drive with a pick, ending Favre s NFL-best INT-less streak at 159 attempts. That takeaway led to a 31-yard Rackers FG that put the Cards up The defense swarmed on 3 straight plays on the next series. DT Darnell Dockett stopped Peterson for a 5-yard loss, Calais Campbell sacked Favre for a loss of 9, and nickel back Mike Adams picked him off to end the drive. That INT led to another Rackers FG and lead. The next two MIN drives ended thanks to 3 rd down sacks from DE Bertrand Berry. The Cards then chewed 5:34 off the clock with a 10-play drive that ended on Rackers 3 rd FG of the game. With 1:20 left, Favre hit Percy Harvin with a 31-yard TD pass but the game was over when the onside kick attempt went out of bounds. VIKINGS CARDINALS Team Qtr.

4 DEFENSE SHUTS DOWN VIKINGS Favre Picked Off Twice The Cardinals defense held QB Brett Favre, who entered last week s game with the NFL s second-highest passer rating (112.1), to a passer rating of 79.4 with two INTs. Favre entered the game with only three INTs on the season and was not intercepted in the previous four games prior to last week. Favre s 159 consecutive pass attempts without an INT was the longest streak among starting QBs in the NFL. Against the Cardinals, Favre threw two INTs over a span of three passes in the third quarter. Grounding Peterson and the Run Game Arizona s defense held the Vikings offense to just 62 yards on the ground, 67.2 yards below their season average heading into the game (129.2) when they had the league s ninth ranked running attack. The Cardinals held the Vikings to their lowest team rushing total of the season. The defense held Vikings RB Adrian Peterson, the NFL s third-leading rusher, to just 19 yards on 13 carries (1.5 avg.), his lowest yardage total and lowest rushing average of the season. Entering last week s game, Peterson was averaging 98.5 yards per game in 09 and 4.7 yards per attempt. Peterson was held to five carries for minus-1 yards in the second half. Of his 13 attempts last week, seven resulted in negative yardage or no gain. Peterson s Yardage Total By Carry 5, 0, -1, 0, 4, 1, 11, 0, 1, -5, 0, 4, -1 Peterson s 19 rushing yards represent the second-lowest yardage output of his career. The only time in his career Peterson has been held to fewer rushing yards in a game was on San Francisco, when he was held to three yards on 14 carries (0.2 avg.). OFFENSIVE LINE RISES TO THE CHALLENGE The Cardinals offensive line normally consisting of LT Mike Gandy, LG Reggie Wells, C Lyle Sendlein, RG Deuce Lutui and RT Levi Brown had started 27 consecutive regular season games as a unit before Gandy missed last week s game vs. Minnesota with a pelvic injury. Before Gandy s injury, the 27-game streak was tied with the NY Jets for the NFL s longest streak with the same starting five offensive linemen. Including the 2008 postseason, the Cardinals line had started 31 consecutive games with the same five starters. Going against the Vikings defensive front, widely considered one of the best in the NFL, wouldn t seem like a time to break continuity for the Cardinals. But the O-line responded with one of its best games of the season and an inspired performance by Gandy s backup, Jeremy Bridges. Bridges had appeared in 62 games in his career with 39 starts heading into last week s game. However, starting in place of Gandy, Bridges made his first career start at left tackle. It was Bridges first start for the Cardinals since Indianapolis, the final game of the 2005 season when he started at guard. In his first start of the season, Bridges shut down Vikings DE Jared Allen (0 tackles, 0 sacks), who entered the game with 12.5 sacks on the season, the most in the NFC and the second-most in the NFL behind Denver s Elvis Dumervil (14.0). The play of Bridges was so impressive, even the Cardinals defenders took notice. DT Darnell Dockett went out of his way to praise Bridges after the game. When asked about the overall team performance, Dockett responded, We just played well. Our cornerbacks played their butts off. Our offense played well. I take my hat off to Jeremy Bridges though. He had his hands full with Jared Allen all day. All week he was motivated to do his best against him and he played well. A lot of guys will talk about what Jared Allen didn t do, but I give Jeremy Bridges a lot of credit. For his part, Bridges said he was just doing his job and didn t think too much about who he was facing in his first start of the season. I just kept my faith in myself, Bridges said after the game. I know what I can and can t do. I pride myself in being a versatile offensive lineman. I have played this game a long time. There is no reason to get scared or have stage fright because every Sunday is the same thing; you have to block a man. No matter who he is, no matter what position you are at, you have to block a man. That s the attitude I take every Sunday when I play. It played out pretty well. The offensive line did not allow a sack of QB Kurt Warner and led the way for the Cardinals to rush for 113 yards against the Vikings, the team that entered last week s game with an NFL-best 40 sacks in their first 11 games. It was the first game this season that the Vikings did not record a sack and it snapped a streak of 23 consecutive games with a sack for the Vikings. The last time the Vikings went without a sack in a game was Tennessee. The improved play of the offensive line has sparked the emergence of the Cardinals running game over the last five games while also keeping the Cardinals fifth-ranked passing attack going. After rushing for 100+ yards just once as a team in the first seven contests of this season, the Cardinals totaled 113 yards on the ground last week, giving them 100+ rushing yards in four of the last five games, all four resulting in victories. Over the last five games, Arizona has totaled 675 yards on the ground and 1,359 yards through the air. During that five-game span, Arizona is averaging yards per game on the ground and yards per game through the air. After last week s performance, the Cardinals improved to 5-1 this season when allowing one sack or fewer in a game (3-0 when allowing no sacks) and they have a 5-0 record when rushing for 100 or more yards. Last week s game vs. Minnesota marked the 10 th time this season the offensive line has two or fewer sacks allowed. Cardinals vs. 49ers 4 of 46

The Cards 35 sacks are spread among 12 different players. Arizona has recorded three sacks or more in nine of 12 games this season (including the last five consecutive games leading into this week) and Berry s performance last week marks just the third time this season that a single player has recorded 2.0+ sacks in game. Arizona has had three or more players record at least a partial sack in seven games this season, including five games with four different players taking down opposing QBs. Below is a list of the Cardinals 35 sacks broken down by player through the first 12 games.

Single-Season Sack Totals (1982-present) Sacks Season BATTLING TURNOVERS Against the Vikings last week, the Cardinals picked off QB Brett Favre twice and held a plus-one advantage in turnovers. It marked the fifth time this season that the Cardinals have won the turnover battle and improves their record to 4-1 when they do so. The Cardinals now have a 17-1 record in the regular season (20-1 including playoffs) under Ken Whisenhunt when winning the turnover battle. Arizona is 6-2 under Whisenhunt when they break even and 2-17 when they lose the turnover battle. Prior to last week, the Cardinals overwhelming turnover trends had been reversed in the previous two weeks. In week 12 in Tennessee, Arizona lost for the first time under head Whisenhunt when winning the turnover battle. In week 11 against the Rams, the Cardinals won for just the second time in 18 contests when losing the turnover battle.

7 WITH A WIN After defeating the Vikings last week on Sunday Night football, the Cardinals continue primetime play this week against the 49ers on ESPN s Monday Night Football. It marks the first time in franchise history that the Cardinals have appeared in primetime in consecutive weeks. This week, the Cardinals will make their 20 th appearance on Monday Night Football since 1970 and their seventh appearance since moving to Arizona in The Cardinals have a record in their 20 appearances on MNF. Since moving to the Valley, the Cards have played on Monday night only six times, with this week s game marking the fourth consecutive year the team has played on MNF. The last time the Cards were on MNF in four consecutive seasons was The week s game marks the third consecutive season the Cardinals will face the 49ers on Monday night. San Francisco now represents the Cardinals opponent in four of their last five games on Monday Night Football. The Cardinals opened the 2007 season with a loss to the 49ers as the second game in the opening weekend double header. Last season, the Cardinals prevailed over the 49ers on a dramatic lastsecond goal-line stand. A win this week vs. San Francisco would give the Cardinals back-to-back wins on Monday Night for the first time since When the Cardinals-Vikings matchup last Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium was flexed into a Sunday night game, it became the first time Arizona has been moved into the primetime game since flexible scheduling began in It was also Arizona s third appearance on Sunday Night Football this season, also a first for the franchise. This week s game also marks the Cards fourth prime time appearances in the 2009 regular season, their most ever. Arizona (8-4) would clinch the NFC West with a victory over San Francisco (5-7) on Monday Night. The Cardinals would secure back-to-back postseason appearances for the first time since Arizona would be guaranteed to open the postseason at home for the second-consecutive season for the first time in franchise history. Ken Whisenhunt would have 29 total wins (regular and postseason) as the Cardinals head coach, tied with Vince Tobin for the fourth-most in franchise history. The Cardinals would have six road wins on the season, their most wins away from home in a single season since 1963 (6). The Cardinals would have at least nine wins in back-to-back seasons for the first time since The Cardinals would have three victories in primetime games in the same season for the first time in franchise history. The Cardinals would have back-to-back wins on Monday Night Football for the first time since BACK ON THE ROAD It took a fourth-down TD pass with no time left on the clock, but the Cardinals suffered their first defeat in six road games with their last second loss to the Tennessee Titans in week 12. Prior to that, the last time the Cardinals were defeated on the road was on 12/21/08 in New England, a span of 342 days between road losses. The Cardinals are experiencing historic success on the road and can improve to 6-1 this week when they face the 49ers in a key NFC West matchup. The victory over the Rams in week 11 in St. Louis gave the Cardinals five straight road wins to start a season for the first time since 1948 when they finished the season 6-0 on the road. The Cardinals five road wins are the most in a single season since 1975 (5). A win in San Francisco this week on Monday Night would give them the most road wins in a single season since 1963 (6). With five victories on the road so far in 2009, the Cardinals are guaranteed their first winning record on the road since 1982 (4-1) and their most road victories in a single season since 1975 (5-2). The Cardinals have outscored their opponents in road games this season. The Cardinals have 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, and 12/2 at New England, 33-10). The Cardinals win over the Bears in week nine was their first in Chicago since The win over the Giants in week seven was the Cardinals first-ever road win on Sunday Night Football. The win against the Giants also snapped an 11-game road losing streak to teams from the NFC East.

8 BY THE NUMBERS 1976 The last year the Cardinals had at least eight wins through their first 12 games (also 8-4) Cardinals record under Ken Whisenhunt when scoring 30 or more points. Dating back to the 08 season and postseason, the Cardinals have won 12 games in a row when they score 30 or more points. 4 Consecutive games with a passer rating of for Kurt Warner, making him just the second QB in NFL history to accomplish the feat (Johnny Unitas, 1965) Kurt Warner s passer rating the last time he faced the 49ers on Monday Night football (11/10/08), after completing 32 of 42 passes for 328 yards, three TDs and 0 INTs. 3 TD passes needed by Kurt Warner for him to reach 100 TD passes with the Cardinals and become just the second QB in NFL history with 100+ TD passes with two teams (Fran Tarkenton). 51 Consecutive punts for Ben Graham since he last allowed a touchback, a span of nine games. Over that same period, Graham has landed 27 punts inside the 20-yard line. 0 Sacks and tackles for All-Pro defensive end Jared Allen in last week s game against the Vikings. Cardinals left tackle Jeremy Bridges, making his first career start at left tackle, held Allen without a sack or tackle for the first time in Rushing yards for All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson last week on 13 carries (1.5 avg.), the second-lowest rushing output of his career. 159 Consecutive passes Brett Favre had attempted without throwing an INT before Karlos Dansby picked him off in the third quarter. Two passes later, CB Michael Adams recorded his first career INT, the second of the day off Favre, who had three all season coming into the game. 2 Sacks for Bertrand Berry last week against the Vikings, his first multi-sack game since Detroit. 10 Receiving TDs for both Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald and 49ers TE Vernon Davis. The two are tied for the NFL lead in TD receptions in Meetings between the Cardinals and 49ers (out of 15) since 2002 that have been decided by seven points or fewer, including seven of the last eight. 735 On gameday, total number of days it will have been since the Cardinals last lost a road game against an NFC West opponent Seattle) Average number of points allowed by the Cardinals in road games this season, the second-lowest total in the NFL behind Indianapolis (15.0). A FEW THINGS TO LOOK FOR With a passer rating of or above, Kurt Warner would become the first QB in NFL history to total five consecutive games with a passer rating of With a passer rating of , Warner would have five consecutive games with a passer rating of or better, tying his career-high (1999). Warner needs three TD passes to reach 100 TD passes with the Cardinals and become just the second player in NFL history to throw for at least 100 TDs with two separate team, joining Fran Tarkenton (Giants and Vikings). Larry Fitzgerald needs 56 receiving yards to reach 7,000 for his career and, at 26 years, 105 days old, become the youngest person to in NFL history to reach the career milestone. Fitzgerald needs 31 receiving yards to reach 1,000 yards on the season and become the first player in franchise history to record 1,000+ yards in three consecutive seasons. Fitzgerald needs 62 yards to pass Pat Tilley (7,005) and move into fourth place on the franchise receiving yardage list. Adrian Wilson needs a sack to become just the 10 th player in NFL history to record at least 20 INTs and 20 sacks. Ben Graham needs to land two punts inside the 20-yard line to establish a new franchise record for punts inside the 20 in a season. Jeff Feagles (33) holds the current record, established in BUILDING A WINNER In 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 two who appeared in all 12 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 is unrestricted 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 Continuing the trend of signing free agents to bolster the roster and compete for starting spots, the Cardinals signed former Steelers cornerback Bryant McFadden in 09.

9 CARDINALS AND 49ERS THE LAST MEETING 49ers 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 lead early in the 4 th 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 2 nd 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 3 rd -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-nout 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 2 nd quarter. Later in the quarter, SF faced a 3 rd -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 3 rd 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 3 rd downs including Gore s TD midway thru the 4 th. 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 4 th -n-5 from the SF33 just after the 2:00 warning. 49ERS CARDINALS Team Qtr.

12 RESUME BUILDING FOR THE WHIZ Head coach Ken Whisenhunt has had an impressive run in his first two-plus seasons with the Cardinals. With 28 wins during the regular and postseason, Whisenhunt has the fifth-most victories for a head coach in team history and his next victory will tie him with Vince Tobin ( ) for the fourth-most in franchise history. Arizona has an 8-4 record through 12 games and is looking for their first back-to-back postseason appearances since A win on Monday Night over the 49ers will give the Cardinals their second-consecutive NFC West title. The win over the Vikings makes Whisenhunt the first head coach in franchise history to go.500 or better in each of his first three seasons. The Cardinals were 8-8 in 2007, 9-7 in 2008 and are 8-4 this season with four games remaining. The Cardinals started the 2009 season with a 5-0 record on the road for the first time since The Cardinals have a 12-4 record in the NFC West under Whisenhunt and have won 10 of their last 11 games within the division. Led the Cardinals to their first-ever Super Bowl appearance in 2008 and more wins in a single season (12) than any coach in franchise history. The Cardinals win over the Atlanta Falcons in the Wild Card Game was the first home playoff victory in 61 years. With the win over Seattle in the 2008 regular season finale, the Cardinals finished the 2008 regular season with a 9-7 record, matching their best regular season record since the franchise moved to Arizona in GETTING THE JOB DONE When Ken Whisenhunt promoted Bill Davis to defensive coordinator prior to the 2009 season, he made clear that two areas he wanted the defense to improve upon were cutting down on points allowed and cutting down on points in the red zone. So far this season, Davis has the defense significantly improved in both areas. Through 12 games, the Cardinals defense has allowed 234 points and are on pace to allow 312 points on the season. If the defense continues its current pace, 312 points would be the lowest point total allowed by a Cardinals defense since 1994 (267) and the fourth-lowest total for the franchise since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in Fewest Points Allowed (1978 to 2008) Points Year If the Cardinals continue on pace, they will allow over 100 fewer points this season than they allowed in 2008 (426). In the red zone, the Cardinals have allowed just 16 TDs in 35 trips in the red zone, and their (45.7) TD percentage is the 11 th best in the NFL. Last season, Cardinals opponents had 35 TDs in 55 trips inside the red zone, a 63.6 TD percentage, which ranked 28 th overall in IN THE WHISENHUNT ERA Below is a breakdown of the Cardinals regular season win-loss record during Ken Whisenhunt s tenure: In NFC West Games 12-4 At Home 15-7 On the Road Outdoors Indoors 13-6 When won the turnover battle 17-1 When lost the turnover battle 2-16 When even in the turnover battle 6-2 When scored first 12-6 When Opp. Scores First Out-rush opponent 16-3 Cardinals have 100-yard rusher 7-0 Yielding 20 Points or Less 15-4 Scoring 20 Points or More 25-9 Led at Halftime 18-3 Tied at Haltime 3-1 Led at the End of 3 rd Quarter 19-1 Tied at the End of 3 rd Quarter 5-2 BEST THROUGH 12 With an 8-4 record, the Cardinals now have their best record through 12 games since 1976, when they also started 8-4 and finished the season with a 10-4 record.

16 KURT S CANTON CREDENTIALS In the minds of many, Kurt Warner s performance as a Cardinal combined with his earlier success with the Rams has secured an eventual spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. For those not yet decided, perhaps the best case can be made by comparing Warner s career to those of QBs already enshrined -- particularly the 14 modern era quarterbacks enshrined in the last quarter century. None of the 14 can match Kurt in completion percentage, yards per attempt or yards per game. Only Steve Young had a higher career passer rating than Warner s 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 (205) exceeds those of five. And Warner has done it all in fewer games. While the 14 Hall of Famers in question averaged 186 games, Kurt has needed only 120 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.

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. Cardinals vs. 49ers 18 of 46

19 BREASTON, THE NOT SO SECRET WEAPON In the 11 games he has played this season (sat out the season opener with a knee injury), Steve Breaston has totaled 579 yards and three TDs on 44 receptions. The third-year wide receiver is now on pace to catch 60 passes for 790 yards this season. 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 24 regular season games compared to his first 19 NFL games: First 19 Games Last 24 Games Rec Yds Lg TD Rec Yds Lg TD , Not Just A Receiver Down 7-0 to the Vikings in the first quarter last week, Breaston s 64-yard punt return to the Vikings two-yard line set up Anquan Boldin s two-yard TD reception on the following play and the Cardinals would never trail again in the game. It marked the second-longest punt return of Breaston s career, trailing only his 73-yard TD return on 9/30/07 vs. Pittsburgh. Breaston also added a 19-yard run on a reverse, his second rushing attempt on the season. His only other rushing attempt this season was a 25-yard gain on a reverse on Chicago. For his career, Breaston now has six rushing attempts for 60 yards. RUNNING STRONG After rushing for a career-high 110 yards in week 11 in St. Louis, Tim Hightower put together strong performances in the next two games. Hightower rushed 11 times for 55 yards and a TD and caught three passes for 23 yards in week 12 in Tennessee and last week against Minnesota, ran six times for 50 yards (8.3 avg.), including a key 32-yard run in the fourth quarter. Last week s game vs. Minnesota marked Hightower s third consecutive games averaging over 5.0 yards per carry. Three weeks ago, the second-year back rushed for a career-high 110 yards on 14 carries (7.9 avg.) against the Rams. It was Hightower s second career 100-yard rushing game, with the other coming on 11/2/08 in St. Louis, when he rushed for 109 yards on 22 carries. In his last three games combined, Hightower has rushed for 215 yards and a TD on 31 carries, an average of 6.9 yards per attempt. TOUCHDOWN TIM Tim Hightower has six rushing TDs on the season, the most recent coming on a six-yard run in week 12 at Tennessee. It was his first rushing TD in four games. Combined with his franchise rookie record of 10 rushing TDs in 2008, Hightower needs just three more rushing TDs this season to set a new franchise record for rushing TDs in consecutive seasons.

In week 10 against the Seahawks, Wells established career highs in rushing attempts (16), rushing yards (85) and TDs (2). He also had a career-long run of 29 yards and careerlong reception of 23 yards. Wells had TD runs of 10 and 13 yards against the Seahawks, making him the first rookie in franchise history with two 10+ yard TD runs in a single game since Dave Mann accomplished the feat in 1955 vs. the Bears. Wells rushed for 74 yards and a TD on 14 carries (5.3 avg.) three weeks ago against the Rams, marking his fourth consecutive game averaging over five yards per carry. Wells one-yard TD run in the second quarter was his fourth TD in five games. In the last seven games, Wells has rushed for 393 yards and four TDs on 86 carries, an average of 4.6 yards per attempt. With 517 yards on the season, Wells ranks third in the NFL in rushing yards among rookies, behind only Denver s Knowshon Moreno (774) and Philadelphia s LeSean McCoy (530).

20 VERY SPECIAL TEAMS AUSSIE RULES P Ben Graham dropped two of his three punts inside the Vikings 20- yard line last week, giving him 32 punts inside the 20-yard line this season. He needs two more to break the franchise record of 33, currently held by Jeff Feagles (1994).

He is now on pace to land 43 punts inside the 20-yard line this season. The NFL record is 42, established by San Francisco s Andy Lee in Graham s five punts inside the Titans 20-yard line in week 12 tied the franchise record for a single game. The only other player to accomplish the feat was Scott Player, who landed five-of-seven punts inside the 20-yard line on 10/20/02 vs. Dallas. Ken Whisenhunt recently praised Graham for his ability to get the ball downed deep inside opponent s territory. I think Ben (Graham) has been as consistent as anyone I have ever seen putting the ball (inside the 20-yard line) and giving our players the opportunity to down it. Obviously, when you know you have a punter who is going to do that, it certainly inspires you to get down there, which is really big for us. Graham s accuracy has not affected his punting distance this season. He is averaging 47.4 yards per punt on the season, the thirdbest average in the NFL and second-best in the NFC. NFL Punting Avg.

Stephens Howling also played a large role in Ben Graham s big day. He was responsible for downing three of Graham s five punts inside the 20-yard line. Stephens- Howling downed punts at the Titans 5, 2 and 1-yard line in the game. It was a performance that earned Stephens-Howling NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors. Throughout the season, he has been a standout on special teams, leading Arizona with 19 tackles on the year. For the season, Stephens-Howling has returned 36 kickoffs for 897 yards (24.9 avg.), leads the team with 19 special teams tackles, has seven receptions for 60 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 240 th overall pick, Stephens-Howling didn t start his final two seasons in college, instead serving as the backup to Philadelphia second round pick (54 th overall), LeSean McCoy.

21 THE 20/20 CLUB Adrian 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 10 th player in NFL history with at least 20 sacks and 20 interceptions. He is right on the verge after collecting his 20 th career INT in week 10 vs. Seattle. It could come at any time, as Wilson needs just one sack to reach his goal.

He is now one INT shy of tying his career-high (4), established in 2002 and matched in Combined with his INT in week 10 against Seattle, Wilson had INTs in back-to-back games for just the second time in his career (2007). Wilson signed his second contract extension with the Cardinals during the offseason, agreeing to a five-year deal on 6/4/09 that will keep him under contract through the 2013 season. The twotime 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. MAKING HIS CASE As he showed with his three sack performance in Super Bowl XLII against the Steelers, Darnell Dockett is a dominant force in the middle of the Cardinals defense. As the 2009 season wears on, Dockett is really heating up. Dockett matched his Super Bowl XLII in Tennessee in week 12 when he collected a regular season career-high 3.0 sacks of QB Vince Young. His previous regular season best was 2.5 sacks vs. Pittsburgh on 9/30/07. Dockett finished the game with six tackles, 3.0 sacks, four QB hits and three tackles for loss. Dockett now has 49 tackles, 7.0 sacks and a career-high 14 tackles for loss so far this season. With 7.0 sacks in 2009, Dockett now has 26.0 in his career and ranks 9 th on the franchise all-time list, and third all-time among defensive tackles. His 7.0 sacks are also the most in the NFL among defensive tackles this season Sack Leaders Defensive Tackles Player (Team) Sack Yds Darnell Dockett (Ari) Kevin Williams (Min) Jonathan Babineaux (Atl) Jonathan Fanene (Cin) Trevor Pryce (Bal) Dockett became the 10 th player in team history to record three or more sacks in a game. AMONG THE ELITE The country got to know Dockett by way of his three sacks in Super Bowl XLIII against Pittsburgh, tying the NFL record for sacks in a Super Bowl, a record he now shares with Hall of Famer and sack legend Reggie White. But since coming into the league in 2004, there aren t many players at his position that have dominated the way he has. Dating back to 2004, no player at his position has appeared in more games (92) than Dockett. He has started every game the last four-plus years for Arizona and has an ongoing streak of 77 consecutive starts, the team s longest active streak. Dockett has started 91 of 92 games in his first fiveplus NFL seasons and has never missed a contest. Since 2007, Dockett is among the league leaders in many categories at the defensive tackle position. Below is a look at Dockett s sack total since then compared to some of the more well-known defenders at defensive tackle. Sack Comparison 2007 to Present Player Sacks Yds Darnell Dockett (AZ) Albert Haynesworth (Was) Kevin Williams (Min) Tommie Harris (Chi) Shaun Rogers (Cle) MONEY MIKE CB Michael Adams started his second career game last week against the Vikings and recorded the first INT of his career, a third quarter pick of Brett Favre at the Arizona 39-yard line that halted a Minnesota drive. Now in his third season with the Cardinals, Adams is a locker room favorite who originally came to the Cardinals as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Louisiana-Lafayette prior to the 2007 season. Just like fellow standout special teamer LaRod Stephens-Howling, Adams has not let his relatively small size (5-8, 181 pounds) get in the way of him becoming a fixture on the special teams units and a regular in the team s numerous defensive packages. One of the most reliable tacklers on the team, Adams has recorded career-highs in both tackles (22) and special teams tackles (12) this season. For his career, Adams as appeared in 24 games (two starts) and has recorded 26 tackles, one INT, four passes defensed and 27 special teams tackles. Cardinals vs. 49ers 21 of 46

22 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 The move suited him well, as he recorded 119 tackles on the season, the first 100-tackle campaign of his career. This season, Rolle has continued that improvement, becoming a standout next to Adrian Wilson in the secondary. On the season, Rolle has collected 75 tackles, 1.5 sacks, four INTs, eight passes defensed, a forced fumble and two tackles for loss. Rolle recorded his fourth INT of the season in week 10, leaving him one shy of his single-season career-high (5), set in Rolle now has 12 career INTs in the regular season. Including the 2008 postseason, Rolle has five career defensive TDs on 14 career takeaways. Of his 13 career interceptions, Rolle has returned four for TDs, with a fifth called back due to an erroneous penalty on the return. He also had another pick wiped out by an offsides penalty in last year s MNF game vs. the 49ers. Below is a breakdown of Rolle 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) FILLING IN NICELY When 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 12 games, culminating in his performance last week vs. Minnesota, when he recorded four tackles, a tackle for loss and his fifth sack of the season. Through the first 12 games, Campbell has totaled 41 tackles, along with 5.0 sacks, five passes defensed and a forced fumble. Campbell s contributions aren t limited to defense either. In week two in Jacksonville, he blocked a 38-yard FG attempt, his first of two blocked FGs this season. The blocked kick was recovered a returned 83 yards for a TD by Antrel Rolle. Campbell earned NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts. His second blocked FG attempt of the season came in week five against Houston. DRC YEAR TWO CB 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 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 24 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. He has also collected 22 passes defensed so far in For the season, Rodgers-Cromartie has 36 tackles, three INTs, 27 passes defensed and two forced fumbles. He recorded three passes defensed and a forced fumble in week 12 at Tennessee. DANSBY LEADS AGAIN LB Karlos Dansby has recorded a team-high 95 tackles on the season and is right on the verge of his fourth-career 100- tackle campaign and third in a row. After starting all 16 games for the first time in his career in 2008, Dansby has now started 36 consecutive games dating back to 2007 (40 including playoffs). Dansby has led the Cardinals in tackles the last two seasons. He recorded a career-high 128 tackles during the 2008 season, surpassing his previous career-high of 117, established in Last week against the Vikings, the Auburn alum had a big game. He surpassed 600 tackles for his career while his third quarter INT of Brett Favre was his first INT of the season and first since Seattle. Dansby was drafted by the Cardinals in 2004 and was designated the franchise player each of the last two years. CARDINALS FASTEST GROWING TEAM BRAND In 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 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.

23 RECAPPING THE SUPER BOWL RUN The 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 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 XLIII As the NFC West Champions, the Cardinals hosted their first playoff game since 1947, defeating Atlanta 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 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 after storming out to a 24-6 halftime lead. The Eagles fought back in the second half to take a 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 million viewers, the Cardinals fell to the Steelers Down 20-7 entering the fourth quarter, the Cardinals made the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, taking a 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 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 marked the 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 yards against 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. Cardinals vs. 49ers 23 of 46

25 Game 1 49ers 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 lead early in the 4 th 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 2 nd 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 3 rd -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 2 nd quarter. Later in the quarter, SF faced a 3 rd -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 3 rd 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 3 rd downs including Gore s TD midway thru the 4 th. 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 4 th -n-5 from the SF33 just after the 2:00 warning. 49ERS CARDINALS Team Qtr.

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 3 rd with the Cards up 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 The Jags advanced to the AZ35 late in the 2 nd 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 3 rd 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 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 3 rd and a 19-yarder to WR Mike Sims-Walker midway thru the 4 th that made it 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. CARDINALS JAGUARS Team Qtr.

26 Game 3 Colts 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 1 st quarter and forced them to punt on their first 3 drives (including two 3-n-outs). Up 3-0 early in the 2 nd 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 The Cards were at the doorstep again in the final minute of the first half but on 1 st -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 2 nd 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 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 lead. The Cardinals would never threaten again and a 26-yard Vinatieri FG in the 4 th quarter provided the game s final points. COLTS CARDINALS Team Qtr.

Game 4 CARDINALS 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-tothe-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 4 th 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 1 st half gave AZ a 21-0 lead at intermission. The Cards also had huge statistical leads in almost every category, including 1 st downs (18-5), total yards ( ) and passing yards (262-92). The Cardinals missed a chance for another score in the 1 st 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 3 rd and 4 th 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 3 rd -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 2 nd down and Schaub overthrew his open TE in the end zone on 3 rd, the game came down to a 4 th -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 2 nd to eclipse 13,000 yards with two different franchises (Fran Tarkenton, MIN & NYG). Also, Boldin moved past Roy Green and into second place on the club s all-time receptions list. The win gave the Cardinals their first-ever win against Houston and left the Denver Broncos the only team against whom they have never recorded a victory. TEXANS CARDINALS Team Qtr.

27 Game 5 CARDINALS 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 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 2 nd 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 3 rd 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 2 nd 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 3 rd down Kenny Iwebema s sack forced Seattle to settle for an Olindo Mare FG that made it 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 2 nd 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 On the play, Warner reached 30,000 career passing yards and by doing so in just his 114 th career game matched Dan Marino as the fastest player in NFL history to hit the milestone. Late in the 4 th quarter, an Antrel Rolle INT off Hasselbeck set-up a 31-yard Rackers FG that accounted for the game s final points. CARDINALS SEAHAWKS Team Qtr.

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 1 st 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 2 nd 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 at intermission. The tough Cardinal defense was especially so in the second half, allowing just one 1 st down in the 3 rd 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 3 rd, 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 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 3 rd INT of the game off Manning when he stepped in front of a pass intended for Steve Smith, thereby sealing the game.

28 Game 7 Panthers 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 2 nd 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 1 st 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 3 rd. 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. PANTHERS CARDINALS Team Qtr.

Game 8 CARDINALS 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 5 th 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 3 rd -n-10, the first of 8 straight third down conversions to open the game. Also pivotal was the game s 4 th 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 1 st 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 3 rd that provided that quarter s only points. A 3-yard Olsen TD catch made it 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 3 rd 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. CARDINALS BEARS Team Qtr.

29 Game 9 CARDINALS 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-frombehind home win over the Seahawks. After trailing 14-0 in the 1 st 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 2 nd 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 1 st 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 4 th -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 2 nd quarter, Seattle faced a 3 rd -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 The AZ offense moved downfield quickly to open the 2 nd 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 4 th -n-1 run for a 10-yard TD. Early in the 4 th, 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. SEAHAWKS CARDINALS Team Qtr.

The victory was Arizona s 6 th straight against the Rams and gave the Cards a 5-0 road mark for the first time since Kurt Warner improved his record as a starter at the Edward Jones Dome to 26-4 and had the Cards up 21-3 before exiting late in the 2 nd quarter with a head injury. RB Tim Hightower gained a career-best 110 rushing yards while Beanie Wells ran for another 74 yards and a TD. The Cards rolled up 400 yards of offense for the 3 rd straight game and had a season-high 183 yards rushing. WR Anquan Boldin topped 100 receiving yards for the 2 nd straight week and finished with 103 on 8 catches. The Rams scored first when they capitalized on a Cardinal turnover. After Wells mishandled a pitch from Warner, St. Louis took over at the AZ25 but the Cards defense held them to just a FG. Arizona would score TDs on 3 straight drives to go up A 50-yard Hightower rush set-up a 5- yard Warner TD pass to Boldin. That 87-yard scoring drive was followed by another of 90 yards that ended with an 11-yard scoring pass from Warner to Larry Fitzgerald. After stopping a 4 th -n-1 Rams run, the Cards took over on downs and Wells capped a 9-play, 78-yard drive with his 1-yard TD run. Six plays before the score, Warner was injured when he hit his head on the turf after scrambling for a completion. He finished the drive but left the game after the TD. Matt Leinart came on in relief and completed 10 of 14 passes with no INTs or TDs. The third quarter was scoreless until Rams RB Steven Jackson raced 48 yards to the AZ4 but the Cardinal D again stiffened and allowed just a FG. On the next series, Cards TE Anthony Becht fumbled after a catch and the Rams took over at the AZ44. After converting 3 straight 4 th downs that included a 4 th -n-11 at the AZ26, Jackson s 1-yard TD run made it with 7:08 left. The next St. Louis drive reached the AZ7 but Marc Bulger s 4 th down pass fell incomplete and the Rams again turned it over on downs. Leinart picked up a key 1 st down with a 20-yard completion to Early Doucet on 3 rd -n-4 at the AZ13 allowing the Cards to chew up key clock time and the Rams did not seriously threaten again.

30 Game 11 Titans 20, CARDINALS 17 November 29, 2009 LP Field (69,143) In their first-ever visit to Nashville, the Cardinals suffered a gut-wrenching defeat when Titans QB Vince Young capped an 18-play, 99-yard drive with a 10-yard TD pass to rookie WR Kenny Britt as time expired. The loss snapped a 3-game win streak for the Cards and was their first road defeat of the year after starting 5-0. Tennessee recorded its 5 th straight win after opening the season 0-6. The loss overshadowed a gritty effort from QB Matt Leinart who made his first start since October of 07. Kurt Warner was inactive due to lingering effects of a head injury suffered the week before at St. Louis, ending his consecutive start streak at 41. The Titans took a 6-0 lead with Rob Bironas field goals on each of their first two drives. Late in the 2 nd quarter, the Cards cut it to 6-3 when Neil Rackers capped an 11-play, 55-yard drive with a 41- yard FG. Arizona withstood a Tennessee threat just before halftime when the Titans had the ball at the AZ11 with 0:08 left and one timeout. However, Young let the time tick off while scrambling in the pocket and Darnell Dockett sacked him for the 2 nd time on the drive to send the Titans away with no points. Dockett would finish the game with a career-best 3 sacks. The Titans entered the game with an NFL-low 7 sacks allowed and Young had been sacked just once all season but he went down 4 times in this game. After the teams traded punts to open the 2 nd half, Titans RB Chris Johnson ran for an 85-yard TD that made it However rookie LaRod Stephens-Howling returned the ensuing kickoff 99 yards for a TD, making it a 3-point game again. On the next AZ drive, Leinart completed 4-5 passes for 61 yards and Tim Hightower scored on a 6-yard TD run to give the Cards a lead. In the 2 nd half, Leinart was passing for 137 yards. With just under 5:00 to play, Young connected with Britt on a 51-yard pass to the AZ24 but Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie forced a fumble that Bryant McFadden recovered to kill the threat. A holding call hampered the next Arizona drive and on the punt Ben Graham pinned the Titans at the 1 with 2:37 left. It was Graham s 5 th straight punt inside the 20 and 3 rd inside the 5, all of which were downed by Stephens-Howling. On the ensuing drive, the Titans twice faced 4 th -n-4 but converted each and ultimately reached the AZ9. After a 1-yard sack and a pair of incompletions, TEN faced a 4 th -n-goal at the 10 with 0:06 left when Young and Britt connected on the game-winner. CARDINALS TITANS Team Qtr.

The Vikings offense featured all pros Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson while their 5 th -ranked defense led the league in sacks behind NFC sack leader Jared Allen s Arizona more than met the challenge. Favre, who entered the game with 3 INTs all season, threw 2 in the 3 rd quarter. Peterson was limited to 19 yards (13 carries) for the 2 nd lowest total of his career and the Vikings were held sackless for the first time in 24 games behind inspired offensive line play, highlighted by LT Jeremy Bridges, filling in for starter Mike Gandy. Kurt Warner returned from a onegame absence (head) and was exceptional. He threw 3 first half TDs - 2 to Anquan Boldin, 1 to Larry Fitzgerald - and finished 22 of 32 for 285 yards. The win upped Arizona s record to 8-4 and extended its division lead to 3 games with 4 to play. The game didn t start well for AZ. RB Tim Hightower lost a fumble at the AZ47 on the game s 2 nd play and that ultimately led to a 3-yard Favre TD pass to TE Visanthe Shiancoe. Later in the first, Steve Breaston s 64-yard punt return to the 2 set-up to a Warner TD pass to Boldin on the next play. While the AZ defense sent the Vikings attack 3-n-out on 3 straight series, the Cards offense was clicking. Midway thru the 2 nd, they went up 14-7 when Warner connected with Boldin on a 39-yard TD. Minnesota advanced deep into AZ territory on the next drive but came away with just a FG at the 1:55 mark. That left enough time for Warner to put the Cards back in the end zone. He completed all 5 passes (72 yards) and capped the drive with a 34-yard TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald. The Vikings got the ball to start the 2 nd half and advanced to the AZ45 but LB Karlos Dansby ended the drive with a pick, ending Favre s NFL-best INT-less streak at 159 attempts. That takeaway led to a 31-yard Rackers FG that put the Cards up The defense swarmed on 3 straight plays on the next series. DT Darnell Dockett stopped Peterson for a 5-yard loss, Calais Campbell sacked Favre for a loss of 9, and nickel back Mike Adams picked him off to end the drive. That INT led to another Rackers FG and lead. The next two MIN drives ended thanks to 3 rd down sacks from DE Bertrand Berry. The Cards then chewed 5:34 off the clock with a 10-play drive that ended on Rackers 3 rd FG of the game. With 1:20 left, Favre hit Percy Harvin with a 31-yard TD pass but the game was over when the onside kick attempt went out of bounds. VIKINGS CARDINALS Team Qtr.
