1 Arizona Cardinals Football Club Game Release THIS WEEK S GAME The Cardinals continue their remarkable rebound from a 1-6 start and head to Cincinnati with a 7-7 mark. The Cards and Bengals both remain in contention for a wild card spot; Arizona needs a win at Cincy plus a loss by either the Falcons (at New Orleans) or Lions (home vs. Chargers) to stay alive heading into week 17. Just one team in NFL history (1970 Bengals) has qualified for the playoffs in a season it had a 6-game losing streak. Last week at home against the Browns, the Cards again turned in a dramatic comeback to emerge with a thrilling OT win that kept postseason hopes alive. With it Arizona improved to 7-7, won for the 6 th time in seven weeks and for first time since 99 won four straight in a regular season. In all seven wins this season, the Cards have overcome second half deficits; against Cleveland they trailed by 10 in the 4 th quarter. It marked the sixth 4 th quarter comeback for the Cards this season, one shy of the NFL mark set by the 09 Colts. With Sunday s win over the Browns, Arizona became the 9 th team in NFL history to notch three OT wins in a season and just the 2 nd (1995 Chiefs) with three home OT wins. Head coach Ken Whisenhunt passed Don Coryell for most wins in franchise history (43). The Bengals improved to 8-6 last Sunday with a road win at St. Louis and remain tied with the Jets for the AFC s final Wild Card spot. Rookie WR A.J. Green caught 6 passes for 113 yards and eclipsed 1,000 yards on the season while RB Cedric Benson added a TD run. QB Andy Dalton continued his impressive rookie campaign and has eclipsed 3,000 passing yards; he and Cam Newton are the 4 th and 5 th rookies in NFL history to throw for 3,000 yards in their debut season (Peyton Manning, Matt Ryan and Sam Bradford are the others).

BENGALS THE LAST MEETING CARDINALS 35, Bengals 27 November 18, 2007 Paul Brown Stadium (65,403) In the Cardinals hard-fought road win at Cincinnati, the Bengals led in almost every statistical category but for the 2 nd week in a row, Arizona forced 5 takeaways that made the difference. CB Antrel Rolle recorded 3 of Arizona s 4 INTs off Carson Palmer (a career-worst) and returned a pair for TDs tying the NFL record. He also went the distance on his 3 rd pick but a suspect penalty on the return wiped out the score. On their first drive of the game, the Bengals capitalized on a short field when Palmer hit WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh with a 19-yard TD pass. Arizona s next series ended when Neil Rackers was wide left on a 54-yard FG try. Two plays later though, Rolle stepped in front of a Palmer pass intended for Houshmandzadeh on the left side and cut across field en route to a 55-yard TD that tied the score. Cincy, which was effective throughout the game with its no-huddle offense, added a 41-yard Shayne Graham FG on its next drive. AZ answered when WR Anquan Boldin beat S Dexter Jackson deep down the middle and Kurt Warner hit him with a 44-yard TD strike. Graham s 38-yard FG then cut Arizona s lead to Late in the 1 st half, Warner led an impressive 9-play, 85-yard drive that included a pair of crafty plays from the veteran QB. On successive snaps he was under heavy duress when he first flipped it underhand to RB J.J. Arrington for 3 yards and then tossed a pass with his left arm (still heavily braced due to a torn ligament) to TE Leonard Pope, who gained 22. That led to a more conventional 5-yard Warner TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald with 0:13 left in the half that made it at intermission. The 3rd quarter was a wild one and saw the teams combined for 28 points. On the 2 nd half s 1 st play from scrimmage, LB Karlos Dansby picked off Palmer at the AZ43 and returned it 28 yards to the 24. That set-up a 3-yard Edgerrin James TD run that made it Cincy then marched deep into AZ territory but after a reception to the 9- yard line, WR Chad Johnson fumbled and FS Terrence Holt recovered to end the threat. The next Bengals drive though saw them pull to within 8 when Palmer connected with WR Chris Henry deep down the left side for a 37-yard score. Just 1:41 later, Cincy s DeDe Dorsey blocked a Mike Barr punt and returned it 19 yards for a TD that made it a 1-point game. In the final minute of the 3 rd quarter, Cincy had it near midfield when on 3 rd -n-3 Rolle jumped Johnson s route for an INT and raced 54 yards down the right sideline for his 2 nd score of the day, ending the jaunt with a cartwheel and flip in the end zone. That TD put AZ up 8 at with a full quarter to play. Arizona s offense was unable to salt the game away with any sustained drives and Cincy would get the ball 4 times in the final quarter. The first ended with the lone Bengal punt of the day while AZ halted the next 2 with 4 th down stops (Henry dropped pass on 4 th -n-6 at the AZ37/9:00 mark and Calvin Pace knocked down a pass on 4 th -n-5 at the AZ34/3:02 left). The final Cincy drive reached the AZ36 with 0:55 left but after a holding penalty backed them up, Rolle ended their hopes with his 3 rd theft of the day. CARDINALS BENGALS Team Qtr.

This week will not be the first time Peterson and Green have faced off, as the two former SEC stars met twice in college. In 2008, when both were true freshmen, Green s Georgia squad defeated Peterson and LSU in Baton Rouge, but the Tigers got revenge the following season with a victory in Athens. NEXT WEEK In a game with potential playoff implications for the winner, the Cardinals return home for the regular season finale as they face the division rival Seattle Seahawks at University of Phoenix Stadium.

6 LAST WEEK S GAME Game 14 CARDINALS 20, Browns 17 (OT) December 18, 2011 University of Phoenix Stadium (60,443) Continuing their penchant for dramatic comebacks, the Cardinals pulled out another thriller with a overtime win over Cleveland that kept their playoff hopes alive. With it they improved to 7-7, won for the 6 th time in 7 weeks and for first time since 1999, won four straight in a regular season. All 7 wins featured 2 nd half deficits and in this one they trailed by 10 in the 4 th quarter. The Cards became the 9 th team in NFL history with three OT wins in a season, and just the 2 nd (1995 Chiefs) with three at home. Ken Whisenhunt passed Don Coryell for most wins in franchise history (43). Each team s starting QB sat out due to concussions suffered in the previous game so Arizona s John Skelton (for Kevin Kolb) and Cleveland s Seneca Wallace (for Colt McCoy) filled in and both played well. On the game s opening drive, the Browns moved 76 yards in 7 plays; RB Peyton Hillis was 5-35 rushing and capped the drive with a 1-yard TD run. Also key was a 28-yard Wallace pass to WR Mohamed Massaquoi to the AZ 4. Early in the 2 nd, Phil Dawson s 44-yard FG made it With 1:49 left in the first half, AZ took over at its own 35 and went to its hurry-up offense. Three completions to TE Todd Heap - who had his best outing as a Cardinal with a game-high 7 catches for 69 yards - set-up a 9-yard TD pass from Skelton to Andre Roberts with :19 left and made it 10-7 Cleveland at intermission. The 3 rd quarter was scoreless until the Browns faced a 3 rd -n-8 from their own 24 with just over 3:00 to go. Wallace eluded blitzing CB Michael Adams before firing to Greg Little just across midfield and the WR raced down the sideline for a 76-yard TD. The Cards responded on the next drive by moving to the Cleveland 26 but Skelton s pass bounced off Early Doucet and was INT d by DB Buster Skrine. After forcing a punt, AZ took over at its own 13 early in the 4 th and Skelton completions to Fitzgerald (18), Roberts (12) and Doucet (20) aided the 11-play, 87 yard drive that ended with Beanie Wells 1-yard TD run. Leading by 3 with 8:27 to go, the Browns took over at their own 19 after the ensuing kickoff. On 1 st down, Hillis was stuffed for minus-1; on 2nd down LB O Brien Schofield notched the first sack of the day on Wallace (minus-5); on 3 rd down Schofield sacked him again and the ball came loose. Officials originally ruled down by contact but an AZ challenge reversed to a fumble and Cardinal recovery at the 5. In three plays, the Cards went backwards and had to settle for Feely s game-tying 33-yard FG. Each team would get the ball twice more in regulation but neither could move into position for a score. Cleveland won the OT coin toss and took over at its own 20 to start. After one first down, they could not convert on 3 rd -n-6 from their 34.

SUPER BOWL RETURNING TO ARIZONA Following a very competitive bidding process, the NFL owners awarded Super Bowl XLIX to Arizona, as the nation s biggest sporting event will be held at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale following the 2015 season. Everyone pulled together throughout the Phoenix area to put together a terrific package we were able to present to the owners, Cardinals President Michael Bidwill said of Arizona bid that beat out a bid from the Tampa/Orlando area. Tampa has hosted four Super Bowls, the last of which was Super Bowl XLIII featuring the Cardinals and Steelers. Super Bowl XLIX will be the third Super Bowl played in Arizona and the second one at University of Phoenix Stadium. The Cardinals home played host to Super Bowl XLII between the NY Giants and New England Patriots following the 2007 season. Arizona first hosted the Super Bowl following the 1995 season, when the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl XLII brought with it an estimated economic impact of $500 million, with nearly 100,000 out-of-state visitors and thousands of media members from around the world visiting the Valley. This is going to come at a great time for our local community and give us the ability to really rally around a great, big event, Bidwill said. It s going to be huge for tourism, our economic development and our visibility not only in the United States but around the world. With Super Bowl XLIX being held in Glendale, Arizona becomes one of just six host sites to be selected to host the Super Bowl at least three times.

Both Feely and Lenon are serving as captains for the first time in their careers. CARDS UNDER WHISENHUNT Head coach Ken Whisenhunt had an impressive run in his first four-plus seasons with the Cardinals. Prior to the 2010 season, Whisenhunt earned a four-year contract extension with a team option for a fifth. Last week, Whisenhunt became the winningest coach in franchise history by earning his 43 rd career victory (including postseason). Below is a look at an impressive list of achievements that Whisenhunt has put together during his time in Arizona: With the victory over the Browns last week, the Cardinals now have a record at University of Phoenix Stadium under Whisenhunt (including postseason). The Cardinals earned NFC West titles in 2008 and 09, earning their first back-to-back division titles since Arizona s win over Green Bay in the 2009 Wild Card matchup gave the Cardinals wins in the postseason in back-to-back years for the first time in franchise history. The Cardinals have won twice as many playoffs games under Whisenhunt (4) as they had won in their total playoff history (2) prior to his tenure. Under Whisenhunt, the Cardinals appeared in six playoff contests between , after appearing in seven total postseason games in the franchise s history prior to his arrival. Arizona finished with a 10-6 record in 09, giving the Cardinals 10+ wins in the regular season for the first time since 1976 (10-4). Whisenhunt was the first head coach in franchise history with a.500 record or better in each of his first three seasons. The Cardinals were 8-8 in 2007, 9-7 in 2008 and 10-6 in 09. The 2011 season marks Whisenhunt s fifth straight season with a home winning percentage of at least.500, a new franchise record. Entering the 2011 season, Whisenhunt was tied with Don Coryell for most seasons with a.500 home record or better. The Cardinals started the 2009 season with a 5-0 record on the road for the first time since The Cardinals posted a 6-2 road record in 09, the most road wins in a single season since posting six wins in The Cardinals have posted a record against NFC West opponents under Whisenhunt. Led the Cardinals to the NFC West title in 2008, their first division title since 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 2008 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 With the Cardinals win over the Browns last week at University of Phoenix Stadium, the team improved to 8-2 at home against teams from the AFC. In 2008, the Cards offense scored a franchise record 427 points and added 188 points in the playoffs, the third-highest total in NFL postseason history. Cardinals vs. Bengals 7 of 56

8 NO TEAM HOTTER THAN ARIZONA Arizona s win over Cleveland on Sunday marked the team s fourth consecutive victory, giving the Cardinals four straight wins in a single season for the first time since After defeating the Browns in OT last week, the Cardinals improved to 6-1 over the last seven games, which ties for the NFL s best record over that span. NFL s Best Record Over the Last 7 Games W-L Team 6-1 Arizona Green Bay Houston Denver New Orleans New England Pittsburgh Arizona s current four-game win streak is tied for the secondbest active streak in the NFL.

If the Cardinals win this week, it would mark the first time since 1977 that the team won at least five consecutive games in a single season. The Cardinals won six straight during the 77 season. CARDS WIN AGAIN IN OT Last week s OT victory over the Browns was the Cardinals third OT win this season. With the victory, the Cardinals tied the NFL record for most OT wins in a season, becoming the ninth team to do so. The Denver Broncos also have three OT victories in NFL Record Overtime Victories in a Season Wins Team, Year 3 Arizona, 2011 Denver, 2011 Washington, 2010 Carolina, 2003 San Diego, 2002 San Francisco, 2011 Pittsburgh, 1997 Kansas City, 1995 Detroit, 1994 All three of Arizona s OT wins have come at home this season. The Cardinals join the 1995 Kansas City Chiefs as the only teams in NFL history to win three OT games at home in a single season. A Few Facts About Overtime With the win against the Cowboys in week 13, the Cards joined the 1995 Kansas City Chiefs as the only two teams in NFL history with multiple TDs of 50+ yards in overtime in a single season. Of the 11 overtime games in the NFL this season, the Cardinals victories over the Rams (11/6) and Cowboys (12/4) are the only two that were not decided by field goals. Against the Cowboys, the Cardinals became the ninth NFL team to score two overtime TDs in one season. ANOTHER CLOSE ONE During the first half of the season, Arizona lost four games by four points or fewer, including three in a row to the Redskins (22-21), Seahawks (13-10) and Giants (31-27). However, the Cardinals have been able to turn that around in the last seven games. Their victory over the Browns last week marked the team s sixth win by six points or fewer in the last seven games. Of the Cardinals 14 games this season, 11 have been decided by seven points or fewer and Arizona holds a 7-4 record in those 11 games. The Cardinals are the only team in the NFL this season with at least 11 games decided by seven points or fewer. The 2011 season marks just the third time in franchise history that the Cardinals have won at least seven games decided by seven points or fewer in a single season, and the first time since Franchise Record Wins by 7 Points or Fewer Wins Year The average margin for the Cardinals seven victories this season is 4.4 points. In the last four games, all Arizona victories, the Cardinals have won by an average of 3.5 points per game. THE COMEBACK TRAIL The Cardinals came back from a 17-7 fourth quarter deficit to earn the win on Sunday vs. Cleveland. Last week s game marked the sixth game this season in which the Cardinals trailed in the fourth quarter and came back to win, tied for the second-most such victories by any team since NFL Record Most 4 th Quarter Comeback Wins ( ) Wins Team, Year 7 Indianapolis, Arizona, 2011 Indianapolis, 1999 Miami, 1992 Denver, 1985 Houston, 1978 The Cardinals have overcome a second half deficit in all seven wins this season, one shy on the NFL modern-era record (8, shared by six teams, most recently the 2010 NY Jets). In six of the Cardinals seven wins this season, Arizona trailed by at least seven points in the second half. Last week s game against the Browns marked the second consecutive contest in which Arizona came back from a deficit of at least 10 points in the second half. Against the 49ers in week 14, Arizona trailed by 12 points as late as the third quarter. In the last six victories, Arizona has outscored opponents (+59 points) in the second half/ot.

That has been particularly evident in the last two victories over the 49ers and Browns. Week 14 vs. SF In week 14 vs. San Francisco, the 49ers took a 12-7 lead into halftime and then on their first play from scrimmage on the first possession in the second half, RB Frank Gore scored on a 37-yard TD run giving the Niners a 19-7 lead. Following the 37-yard run by Gore, San Francisco totaled just 19 offensive plays during the remainder of the game. Week 15 vs. Cleveland The Browns took a 10-7 lead into halftime last week and then scored on a 76-yard TD pass from QB Seneca Wallace to WR Greg Little in the third quarter. Following the long TD pass, the Browns remaining five drives of the half/ot ended in four punts and a fumble. None of the Browns final five possessions consisted of over five plays and the longest of those drives covered 36 total yards. The Cardinals have done most of their damage in the fourth quarter and OT the last two weeks.

In week 10 against the Eagles, Doucet caught two passes for 24 yards, including the game-winning TD on a five-yard reception in the fourth quarter. With five TD receptions in 2011, Doucet has now more than doubled the TD total from his first three seasons combined. Between 2008 and 2010, Doucet posted two total TD receptions. Doucet s TD reception against the Niners gave him four TDs over an eight-game span. Entering this season, Doucet had two TDs receptions in 26 career regular season contests. ROBERTS BREAKING THROUGH AGAIN WR Andre Roberts caught six passes for a game-high 111 yards in week 13 against Dallas. The 111 yards represented a career high and it was the second career 100-yard receiving performance for the second-year pro. Roberts first career 100-yard game came in the Cardinals Christmas day victory over the Cowboys in 2010, when he hauled in five receptions for 110 yards and a TD. After recording two receptions for 19 yards in the first half, Roberts posted four receptions for 92 yards in the fourth quarter and OT against the Cowboys. Following his 111-yard outburst in week 13 against Dallas, Roberts followed that up with two big receptions in week 14 against the 49ers, including his first TD reception of the season. Last week against the Browns, Roberts caught six passes for 60 yards, including a nine-yard TD reception in the second quarter. Last week s performance was another strong outing for the second-year pro over the past seven games.

Christiansen had two punt return TDs in his third career game and another two in his ninth game. After just 14 career games, Peterson s four punt return TDs this season have already established a new franchise record. Prior to this season, Ollie Matson and Vai Sikahema held the record with three punt return TDs.

He was back at it again last week in the win over the Browns, and although he didn t win the game with a TD, he did establish another NFL record with his 32-yard punt return in OT that set up the Cardinals game-winning FG attempt. The 32-yard return in OT against the Browns last week gives Peterson two punt returns for 131 yards and a TD in OT in his career.

15 KOLB IN THE NFL After missing the previous four games with a foot/toe injury, QB Kevin Kolb returned to the lineup in week 13 against the Cowboys and earned his second win of the season. Kolb finished the game having completed 16 of 25 pass attempts (64.0%) for 247 yards, a TD and a passer rating of His TD pass was the game-winning 52-yarder to RB LaRod Stephens-Howling in overtime. It was Kolb s second game this season with a passer rating over 100 and he improved to 2-0 this season when doing so. Great at the End Kolb was at his best late in the game against the Cowboys: He completed nine of 14 pass attempts (64.3%) for 203 yards and a TD in the second half and overtime. In the fourth quarter and overtime, Kolb completed 7 of 11 pass attempts for 171 yards and the TD. He went 3 of 3 for 82 yards on the game-winning drive in OT. In week 14 vs. San Francisco, Kolb was forced from the game in the first quarter after suffering a head injury, which also kept him out of last week s game. For the season, Kolb has started all nine games he has appeared in, completing 146 of 253 pass attempts for 1,955 yards, nine TDs, eight INTs and a passer rating of He missed four games after suffering a foot/toe injury in the week eight contest at Baltimore. Kolb In The NFL Now in his fifth NFL season, QB Kevin Kolb has appeared in 28 career games, with 16 starts. The Cardinals acquired Kolb in an offseason trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. In his 16 career starts, has completed 294 of 492 pass attempts (59.8%) for 3,670 yards, 19 TDs, 17 INTs and a passer rating of He has thrown for 200+ yards in 12 of those 16 starts, including four 300-yard games. In just his second career start, Kolb earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors for his performance vs. Kansas City on 9/27/09, completing 24 of 34 passes (70.6%) for 327 yards, two TDs, a rushing TD and a passer rating of Over the span of his first five NFL starts, Kolb was twice named NFC Offensive Player of the Week, winning for his Week 3 performance in 09 (vs. Kansas City) and his Week 6 performance in 2010 (vs. Atlanta). EXPERIENCE COMES IN HANDY The Cardinals roster hosts three QBs Kevin Kolb, John Skelton, and Richard Bartel all of whom saw NFL regular season action in That is quite a change from last season, when the Cardinals had two rookie QBs (Skelton and Max Hall) start their first career game and a third (Bartel) who appeared in his first NFL game. The Cardinals were the only team in the NFL to have two rookie QBs start a game in 10, as both Skelton (fifth round, 155 th overall) and Hall (undrafted) started games under center. Skelton started the final four games of the season while Hall received the call in three games (5-7). When Skelton made his first career start in 10 (vs. Denver) it marked the first time since 1994 that a team has had two different rookie QBs start a game in a single season. In 94, Washington started both Heath Shuler and Gus Frerotte as rookies. Dating back to the 1970 NFL-AFL merger, and excluding the strike-shortened 87 season, the Cards became the sixth team to start more than one rookie QB in a season. So far this season, all three QBs on the roster have seen playing time. Kolb has started nine games, Skelton has started five, and appeared in six, and Bartel has appeared in two. GUIDING CARDS TO ANOTHER WIN During QB Kevin Kolb s four game absence with a foot/toe injury earlier this season, backup John Skelton started all four games and posted a 3-1 record as the starter. Kolb returned in week 13 vs. Dallas and started the following week against the 49ers as well, but after he suffered a head injury on the Cards opening possession of the game, Skelton was back in the lineup and led the Cardinals to another victory. Although he didn t receive the start, or the win, on his stat sheet, Skelton played all but three of the Cards offensive snaps. With Kolb out last week against the Browns due to the injury, Skelton received the start and led the Cardinals to their seventh win of the season. In doing so, Arizona improved to 6-1 this season when Skelton appears in a game and 5-1 in his starts. Completing 28 of 46 pass attempts for 313 yards last week, Skelton posted his second career 300-yard game and established career highs in completions (28) and attempts (46). After entering the game against the 49ers in week 14, Skelton went on to post one of the best performances of his career. In over three quarters of play, he completed 19 of 28 pass attempts (67.9%) for 282 yards, three TDs, two INTs and a passer rating of Skelton s 67.9 completion percentage and passer rating represented career-highs while his three TD passes tied his career-mark. Skelton s completion percentage was over 10 points better than his previous high (57.1 vs. St. Louis, 11/6/11) and his passer rating was over 20 points better than his previous career best (85.7 vs. St. Louis, 11/6/11) entering the game. His 67.9 completion percentage was also the highest for a Cardinals QB in a game this season. Making History as a Backup According to the Elias Sports Bureau, with his three TD passes in game vs. San Francisco, Skelton became the first Cardinals QB to come off the bench and throw at least three TD passes in a game since John Roach on 9/23/60 at L.A. Rams. Roach threw four TD passes in that game after coming on in relief of starter King Hill. Skelton became the first NFL player to come off the bench and throw at least three TD passes in a game since San Francisco s Alex Smith threw three TD passes at Houston on 10/25/09. SKELTON S LATE-GAME HEROICS In the last eight games he has appeared in (7 starts) dating back to last season, QB John Skelton has been the architect of four game-winning drives in the fourth quarter, including the gamewinning FG drive in OT last week vs. Cleveland. Skelton s Game-Winning Drives Opponent Stats on Game Winning Drive vs. Cle, 12/18/11 1-1, 32 yards; 22-yard FG to win in OT vs. SF, 12/11/11 4-4, 70 yards, TD; 3-yard TD pass Phi, 11/13/11 5-8, 100 yards, 5-yard TD pass Dal, 12/25/10 3-5, 51 yards, 48-yard FG to win in 4 th Skelton was at his best in the second half with the game on the line in week 14 against the 49ers.

With the Cardinals trailing entering the fourth quarter vs. San Francisco, Skelton completed 6 of 6 pass attempts for 89 yards and a TD in the final quarter, posting a perfect passer rating of With the win over the Browns last week, the Cardinals improved to 3-0 (2-0 under Skelton) when the starting QB throw for 300+ yards this season.

18 NEVER EASY VS. ARIZONA Despite special teams standouts like K Jay Feely and return men LaRod Stephens-Howling and Patrick Peterson, it is becoming harder to overlook one other aspect of the Cardinals special teams units the FG defense. The Cardinals blocked two FG attempts by the 49ers in week 11 at San Francisco, giving Arizona four blocked FGAs this season. Through 14 games, that already marks the highest total for the team since blocking four FGAs in Arizona became the first team since Chicago (4, 2007) to block at least four FGAs in a season. Prior to the game against the 49ers, the last time the Cardinals blocked two FGAs in a game was in 1972, when the team blocked two FGAs vs. the Colts on 9/17. With four blocks so far in 2011, Arizona has now blocked 11 FGAs dating back to 2008, the most in the NFL. Most Blocked FG Attempts (2008-present) Block Team 11 Arizona 9 Seattle 6 Cleveland 5 Dallas, NY Giants 4 Buffalo, Minnesota In addition to leading the NFL in blocked FGAs this season, the Cardinals also led the NFL in blocked FGAs in both 2009 (3) and 2010 (3). Against San Francisco in week 11, both DE Calais Campbell and CB Patrick Peterson blocked FGAs by 49ers K David Akers. For Campbell, it was his third block FGA of the season and fifth of his career. Peterson s block was the first blocked FGA of his career. So far this season, opponents have hit on 30-of-40 field goal attempts (75.0%). That percentage ranks as the fourth-lowest in the NFL this season. NFL Leaders Opponent Field Goal Percentage Pct. Team Att Made 68.2 Philadelphia Jacksonville Seattle Arizona Tampa Bay ANOTHER GAME-WINNER Jay Feely s 22-yard game-winning FG in OT against the Browns last week marked the seventh game-winning kick of his career, and second with the Cardinals. For his career, four of Feely s game-winners have come in OT and three have come at the end of regulation. Feely s 22-yarder against Cleveland was his first game-winning FG in OT since 11/13/08 as a member of the NY Jets, when his 34-yard FG in OT gave the Jets a win over New England. With the OT game-winner against Cleveland, Feely becomes just the second kicker in NFL history to kick OT FGs with four different teams (also had game-winners with Atlanta, NY Giants, and NY Jets). He joins Todd Peterson (Arizona, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco) as the only kickers to have accomplished the feat.

19 BY THE NUMBERS 43 Wins for head coach Ken Whisenhunt, the most of any coach in franchise history. Whisenhunt reached the milestone last week with the team s OT victory over the Browns. 4 Consecutive wins for Arizona heading into this week s game vs. the Bengals. It marks the Cardinals longest regular season winning streak since 1999 (4). 6-1 Cardinals record in the past seven games, tied with Green Bay, Houston, Denver, New Orleans, New England and Pittsburgh for the NFL s best record over that span. 3 Overtime wins for the Cardinals this season, tying the NFL record for OT wins in a single season. Arizona joined the 1995 Chiefs as the only teams in league history with three OT home wins in a season. 6-2 Cardinals record under Whisenhunt, including postseason, in overtime games. Arizona has won six straight OT games at home in that time. 6 Games the Cardinals have won this season despite being down in the fourth quarter. That ties the second-most such victories in a single season in the NFL since 1970 (Indianapolis, 7, 2009). 11 Games that have been decided by seven points or fewer for the Cardinals this season, the most in the NFL. Arizona has a 7-4 record in those 11 games. 3-0 Cardinals record in December so far this season. A win this week in Cincinnati would give the Cardinals four wins in a single month for the first time since October of Rushing TDs for RB Beanie Wells this season, tying the fourthbest total in franchise history for a single season. In the last 40 years, only Wells, Tim Hightower (2008) and Donny Anderson (1973) have recorded 10 rushing TDs in a season Average points allowed by the Cardinals defense following an Arizona turnover this season. That total ranks as the top average in the NFL in Total TDs allowed by the Cardinals defense over the last seven games. Only Pittsburgh (5) has allowed fewer in that span but the Steelers have played in just five games. 21 Punt return yards needed for CB Patrick Peterson, who leads the NFL with 636 punt return yards this season, to pass Louis Lipps (656) for the NFL s all-time record for a rookie. 131 Punt return yards for Peterson in OT games this season. Despite having just two OT punt returns, Peterson s yardage total is the highest OT career total in NFL history Point advantage for the Cardinals in the fourth quarter/ot over the last two games. 2 Career-high sack total for LB O Brien Schofield last week, including a forced fumble in the fourth quarter that the Cardinals converted into the game-tying FG. WHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS WEEK With a win this week in Cincinnati, the Cardinals would extend their winning streak to five games. It would mark the first time since 1977 that the team won at least five consecutive games in a single season. The Cardinals won six straight during the 77 season. With a win this week, the Cardinals would post four wins in a single month for the time since winning four games in October of Arizona is currently 3-0 in December. WR Larry Fitzgerald With a TD this week (6 points), Fitzgerald would move past K Neil O Donoghue (439) for fourth place on the Cardinals alltime points list. Fitzgerald enters this week s game with 434 career points. RB Beanie Wells With a rushing TD this week, Wells would have 11 rushing TDs on the season, tying the third-best total in franchise history (MacArthur Lane, 1970). With 11 rushing TDs, Wells would have more rushing TDs than any player since the team has been in Arizona. With six rushing yards this week, Wells would reach 1,000 yards rushing for the first time in his career. He would be the first Cardinals player with 1,000 yards rushing in a season since Edgerrin James in 2007 (1,222). CB Patrick Peterson With a punt return TD this week, Peterson would have five punt return TDs on the season, establishing an NFL record. With 21 punt return yards, Peterson would have 657 punt returns yards on the season and break the NFL record for most punt return yards for a rookie (656, Louis Lipps, 1984). With 57 punt return yards, Peterson would have 693 punt return yards on the season and move into second place on the NFL s single-season list behind Desmond Howard (875, 1996). WR Andre Roberts With a TD reception this week, Roberts would have a TD reception in three consecutive games, which would mark a career-high. WR Early Doucet With a TD reception this week, Doucet would have six TD receptions on the season. That would mark the highest total for a receiver not named Fitzgerald or Boldin since 2001 (David Boston, 8). DE Calais Campbell With a sack this week, Campbell would have eight sacks on the season and establish a new career-high (7, 2009). LB Daryl Washington With an INT this week, Washington would have three INTs and four sacks on the season and become just the fourth Cardinals LB to accomplish that feat. He would be the first to do so since Karlos Dansby in With 11 tackles, Washington would reach 100 tackles on the season. It would mark the first 100-tackle campaign of his career. LB Sam Acho With a sack this week, Acho would have six sacks on the season, tying Mark Smith (1997) and Ken Harvey (1988) for the second-highest total in team history for a rookie, behind only Simeon Rice (12.5, 1996). LB Paris Lenon With 11 tackles, Paris Lenon will reach 100 tackles in It would mark his fourth career 100-tackle season and fourth in the last five years. It would also be his second 100-tackle campaign in two seasons with Arizona. Cardinals vs. Bengals 19 of 56

20 BREAKING OUT IN YEAR TWO Second-year LB Daryl Washington is blossoming into one of the best young LBs in football. One of the fastest LBs in the NFL, Washington has made plays all over the field as he continues making good on the potential he showed as a rookie in Through 13 games played this season (missed week two), Washington is tied with Paris Lenon for the team lead with 89 tackles, while also posting career-highs with four sacks, two INTs and a team-high 13 tackles for loss. After recording 20 tackles over the last three weeks, Washington now has a new career high in tackles for the seasons, surpassing the 77 tackles he collected as a rookie in Washington is one of five NFL defenders who have recorded at least four sacks and two INTs so far this season. NFL Players with 4.0+ Sacks and 2+ INTs Player Team Sacks INTs LB Daryl Washington Arizona LB Terrell Suggs Baltimore LB David Harris NY Jets LB Rob Ninkovich New England LB Clay Matthews Green Bay Washington In 2011 Opened the 2011 season vs. the Carolina Panthers by posting six tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss, a QB hit and a crucial INT. Trailing 14-7 in the third quarter, Washington intercepted a Cam Newton pass in Cardinals territory. On the very next play from scrimmage, QB Kevin Kolb hit TE Jeff King for a 48-yard TD pass that tied the game. Washington also had a second quarter INT of Newton called back due to an erroneous roughing the passer penalty on CB Richard Marshall. He also chipped in on special teams as well, adding one tackle. Missed the first game of his career when he sat out the week two matchup in Washington with a calf injury suffered against the Panthers. Against the Vikings in week five, had another standout game, posting five tackles, two tackles for loss, a sack and a QB pressure. Against the Rams in week nine, posted a season-high 10 tackles, two tackles for loss and two passes defensed. Against the Eagles in week 10, recorded a team-high nine tackles, two tackles for loss, and his third sack of the season, taking down QB Michael Vick in the third quarter. In week 11 at San Francisco, posted five tackles, a pass defensed and his second INT of the season. The INT came in the Arizona end zone, stopping a Niners scoring threat. In week 13 against the Cowboys, led the team with nine tackles and a tackle for loss. In week 14 against the 49ers, led all linebackers with four tackles, his fourth sack of the season, a tackle for loss and a QB hit. Washington first flashed his potential for the Cardinals in 2010 when he became the first rookie defender to start the season opener in the Ken Whisenhunt era. The Cardinals second-round pick (47 th overall) in the 2010 NFL Draft, Washington started 11 of 16 games played last season and totaled 77 tackles, a sack, an INT and a forced fumble as a rookie. IN A ZONE Perhaps no player on the Cardinals defense has been better than DE Calais Campbell this season. Campbell is on an 12-game stretch which began with a monster performance against Seattle in week three that has seen him collect 55 tackles, 7.0 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, 13 QB hits, his first career INT, six passes defensed, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and two blocked FG attempts. After recording four tackles last week vs. Cleveland, Campbell has now established a new career high with 65 tackles on the season, surpassing his previous high of 64 (2010). Campbell In The Last 12 Games Week 3: In Seattle, totaled 10 tackles, 2.5 sacks, two tackles for loss and four QB hits. Week 4: Led the defensive line with six tackles, a tackle for loss and forced a fumble against the Giants. \Week 9: Against the Rams, totaled six tackles, two sacks, two tackles for loss and three QB hits. His biggest play of the game came when he blocked Rams K Josh Brown s 42-yard FG attempt on the final play of regulation. With four seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and the game tied 13-13, Campbell got a hand on Brown s FGA attempt, marking the fourth blocked FG attempt of his career and second this season. Week 10: Posted two tackles, two passes defensed and recorded his first career INT in the third quarter in Philly. With the Eagles leading 14-7 and driving inside the AZ 20, Campbell intercepted Michael Vick s third down pass on the Arizona 17-yard line. Week 11: Against San Francisco, posted four tackles, a pass defensed, a QB hit and blocked his third FG attempt of the season (fifth of his career) in the first quarter. Week 12: In St. Louis, led the defensive line and finished second on the team with five tackles, adding one for a loss and a QB hit. Week 13: Posted two tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss, a pass defensed and a QB hit in the Cardinals OT win over Dallas. Week 14: Recorded three tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss and tied a season-high with two passes defensed. Week 15: Led the d-line with four tackles and also recovered his first fumble of the season in the fourth quarter against the Browns. Through 14 games, Campbell has totaled 65 tackles, 7.0 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, 14 QB hits, nine passes defensed, an INT, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and three blocked FGs. BEHIND THE LINE Through 14 games, Arizona s defense has spent a lot of time in the opposing team s backfield. Arizona has posted 36 sacks, 74 tackles for loss, 49 QB pressures and 34 QB hits this season.

21 THE ROOKIE CATCHES ON Since entering the starting lineup in place of the injured Joey Porter in week eight, rookie LB Sam Acho has performed like anything but a rookie, including a dominant showing against the Rams in week 12. Acho totaled three tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and a tackle for loss against the Rams three weeks ago. In doing so, he became the first Cardinals rookie to record multiple sacks in a game since Karlos Dansby against the NY Giants on 11/14/04. Acho made his biggest plays at key times for Arizona in the three-point victory over the Rams: After QB John Skelton threw a first quarter INT that gave the Rams the ball at the AZ 31-yard line, Acho sacked QB Sam Bradford four plays later on 1 st -n-10 at the AZ 16-yard line. Acho also forced a fumble on the play which was recovered by Paris Lenon. Acho s second sack of the day came in the second quarter with St. Louis threating to take a 14-3 lead. The Rams had a 1 st -n-goal at the AZ 8-yard line late in the first half when Acho sacked Bradford for a nine-yard loss. After an incompletion on the next play, St. Louis was forced to kick a 35-yard FG which kept the game within seven points at the half. After the Cardinals kicked a FG on the opening drive of the third quarter that cut the Rams lead to 10-6, Acho forced his second fumble of the day, which he also recovered, on the ensuing St. Louis possession after forcing the ball loose from Rams TE Lance Kendricks at the STL 29-yard line. The Cardinals scored their first TD of the game on a Beanie Wells seven-yard run six plays later, taking a lead. According to Stats, Inc., Acho became just the third Cardinals player to record at least two sacks and two forced fumbles in a game. He became the first to do so since Bertrand Berry (3.0 sacks, 2 FF) on 10/22/06 at Oakland.

Despite having started just eight games this season, Acho s five sacks represent the highest total for a Cardinals rookie since Karlos Dansby also had five in Franchise Record Sacks In Rookie Season Sacks Player (Year) 12.5 Simeon Rice (1996) 6.0 Mark Smith (1997) Ken Harvey (1988) 5.0 Sam Acho (2011) Karlos Dansby (2004) Andre Wadsworth (1998) Earlier this season, Acho had a sack in three consecutive games (6-8), becoming the first Cardinals rookie since Simeon Rice in 1996 to accomplish that feat. Rice had separate streaks of three and four games with a sack during the 96 season. Three weeks ago against the Dallas Cowboys, Acho posted four tackles. In addition to ranking second on the team with 5.0 sacks on the season, Acho leads the team with three forced fumbles. WILSON DOES IT ALL Now in his 11 th NFL season, SS Adrian Wilson is the team s most tenured player and has been with Arizona since the team selected him in the third round (64 th overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft. In fact, Wilson is one of just seven players selected in the 2001 draft that is still with the team that selected them. Players Selected in 2001 Draft Still With Original Team Player Team Rnd Pick Jeff Backus Detroit 1 st 18 th overall Casey Hampton Pittsburgh 1 st 19 th overall Reggie Wayne Indianapolis 1 st 30 th overall Dominic Raiola Detroit 2 nd 50 th overall Adrian Wilson Arizona 3 rd 64 th overall Steve Smith Carolina 3 rd 74 th overall Ryan Diem Indianapolis 4 th 118 th overall After missing all four preseason contests due to a torn biceps injury suffered early in training camp, Wilson is having yet another solid season. He has started all 14 contests this season and has posted 62 tackles, eight tackles for loss, an INT and a team-high 13 passes defensed. In the last nine games, Wilson has collected 42 tackles, six tackles for loss and nine passes defensed. Wilson s accomplishments during his first 10 seasons include four Pro Bowl appearances and numerous NFL single-season records. One of the most significant is his inclusion on an exclusive list of NFL players who have recorded at least 20 INTs and 20 sacks in their career. In 2009, Wilson reached the career milestone, becoming just the 10 th player in NFL history with at least 20 sacks and 20 interceptions. With two sacks and two INTs in 2010 and an INT this season, Wilson has added to those totals. All-Time Players with 20 Sacks/20 INTs Player Sacks Ints S Adrian Wilson (AZ, 2001-current) CB Ronde Barber (TB, 1997-current) S LeRoy Butler (GB, ) S Brian Dawkins (Phi/Den, 1996-current) LB Donnie Edwards (KC/SD, ) S Rodney Harrison (SD/NE, ) LB Seth Joyner (Phi/Ari/GB/Den, ) LB Ray Lewis (Bal, 1996-current) LB Wilber Marshall (five teams, ) S Lawyer Milloy (NE/Buf/Atl/Sea, 1996-current)* LB William Thomas (Phi/Oak, ) In 2010, became the 11 th player to reach the milestone NFL RECORD HOLDER One of the most versatile defenders in the NFL, Wilson holds two NFL single-season records, established in very different fashion. In 2005, Wilson recorded 8.0 sacks, setting the NFL record for sacks by a defensive back since sacks became an official stat in In 2006, Wilson returned both an INT and a fumble 99 yards for a TD and in doing so, became the first player in NFL history to record two TDs of 99+ yards in the same season without the benefit of a kickoff return TD. THE IRON MAN When SS Adrian Wilson suffered a torn biceps muscle during training camp, some wondered if he would play at all in Wilson has answered that by starting all 14 games so far this season, pushing his streak of consecutive starts to 57. That streak is the longest current starts streak in the NFL among safeties.

22 QUIETLY LEADING THE WAY Known for his quiet, low-key presence off the field, LB Paris Lenon has done plenty of talking on the gridiron since joining the Cardinals as a free agent in During his first season in Arizona, Lenon started all 16 games and recorded a team-high 127 tackles, also leading the way with 12 tackles for loss. He established career-highs with two INTs on the season (which matched the total of his previous 127 career games) and also tied a career-high with two sacks. The 10 th -year vet impressed his teammates on the field enough that he was named a team captain in 2011 and he has lived up to the billing again this season. Lenon is again atop the stat sheets for the Cardinals this season. He is tied with Daryl Washington for the team lead with 89 tackles through the first 14 games, including four tackles for loss, a career-high three sacks and a fumble recovery. In week 13 against the Cowboys, Lenon recorded his third sack of the season, which established a new career high. Last week against the Browns, Lenon tied Washington for the lead among LBs with seven tackles. COMING UP ON 100 With his sack of QB Tarvaris Jackson in week three at Seattle, LB Joey Porter is now just two sacks away from joining the ranks of NFL defensemen that have reached 100 career sacks. After starting the first six games this season, Porter has missed the last eight games due to a knee injury. Since sacks became an official stat in 1982, only 27 players have recorded 100+ sacks in their career. Porter will be looking to become the 28 th.

All three are in the Hall of Fame. NOBODY BETTER All-Pro DT Darnell Dockett had another standout season for the Cardinals in 2010, earning his third career trip to the Pro Bowl (2007, 09) as he became the first defensive lineman in franchise history to appear in three Pro Bowls. Dating back to 2004, no player at his position has appeared in more games (125) than Dockett. He has started 124 of 125 career games and has missed just one contest in his first seven-plus seasons. Dockett has led the NFL in sacks among DTs twice in his career, recording 9.0 sacks in 2007 and 7.0 sacks in 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 the position. DT Sack Comparison 2007 to Present Player Sacks Yds Darnell Dockett (AZ) Richard Seymour (Oak) Kevin Williams (Min) Albert Haynesworth (NE) Tommy Kelly (Oak) With 33.5 career sacks, Dockett ranks ninth on the Cardinals career sacks list, needing 4.5 sacks to move past David Galloway (37.0) and Al Baker (37.5) into seventh place.

A NEW HIGH FOR SCHOFIELD Entering last week s game vs. Cleveland, Cardinals second-year LB O Brien Schofield had 2.5 sacks on the season. In the fourth quarter against the Browns on Sunday, Schofield recorded sacks on back-to-back plays. He forced a fumble on his second sack that was recovered by DE Calais Campbell and which led to the game-tying FG on the Cardinals ensuing possession with under 6:00 remaining in regulation. Schofield s two sacks last week represent a career-high and give him 6.5 sacks for his career. In addition to his fourth quarter sacks, Schofield also recorded three tackles, a tackle for loss and a QB hit against Cleveland. RHODES RETURNS FS Kerry Rhodes returned to the Cardinals starting lineup last week vs. Cleveland after missing eight games with a broken bone in his foot. Looking like he never left, Rhodes totaled five tackles, a tackle for loss and a pass defensed in his return last week. Rhodes broke the foot in the week six matchup in Minnesota. When he sat out the Cardinals next game (vs. Pittsburgh) it marked the first missed game of his sevenyear career, which covered 101 consecutive games. Cardinals vs. Bengals 22 of 56

24 Game 1 CARDINALS 28, Panthers 21 September 11, 2011 University of Phoenix Stadium (60,627) Playing on the on the 10 th anniversary of the 9-11 tragedy, the Cards opened the NFL season at home against the Panthers, who had beaten them in 7 straight regular season contests. QB Kevin Kolb made his Cardinal debut while counterpart Cam Newton, the top player selected in the 11 draft, was seeing his first NFL action. Both signal-callers were excellent. Kolb completed 18 of 27 passes for 309 yards with 2 TDs and no INTs (130.0 passer rating); it was his 4 th 300-yard game in 8 career starts. Newton set an NFL record for most yards (422) by a QB in his first game. But in a contest with 3 scoring plays of 70+ yards, the Cards escaped with the win by stopping the Panthers a yard short in the game s closing moments. In the first quarter, the Cards moved 54 yards in 6 plays and capped their first offensive drive of the season with a 7-yard Beanie Wells TD run. On the 3 rd play of the next series, the Panthers faced a 3 rd -n-7 from their own 23 when Newton connected with a wide-open Steve Smith down the left sideline for a 77-yard game-tying score. The teams traded punts on the next four drives but midway through the 2 nd quarter and with the game still tied at 7, the Cards had advanced to the Carolina 4. However, Wells fumbled a pitch and LB Thomas Davis recovered to end the threat. After a Panthers 3-n-out, the Cards again marched deep into Panther territory but a crack-back penalty on Andre Roberts backed them from the 5 to the 15 and Jay Feely missed a 36-yard FG with 1:03 left before halftime. AZ appeared to end the ensuing Panther drive when Daryl Washington INT d Newton but it was negated by to a roughing the passer call. Carolina capitalized on the 2 nd chance when Smith caught a 26-yard TD pass from Newton with 0:06 left in the half for a 14-7 lead. On the first Panther drive after intermission, Washington again INT d Newton and this time it held up, giving AZ the ball the Carolina 48. On the next snap, Kolb hit a wide-open Jeff King and the former Panthers TE raced 48 yards to tie the game at 14. Carolina answered with an 8-play, 80-yard drive that the rookie QB ended with a 1-yard TD leap. Early in the 4 th, the Cards were down and backed up to their own 10. Facing a 3 rd -n-7 at the AZ 30, the Panthers brought a blitz but Kolb found Early Doucet who broke a tackle before completing the 70-yard pass play to tie the game at 21. Carolina s next drive crossed midfield before the AZ defense forced a punt. Cards rookie CB Patrick Peterson - taken 4 picks after Newton the previous April - fielded Jason Baker s boot at the AZ 11 and burst 89 yards for the go-ahead score. A Carolina punt ended the next drive that had advanced to just the Panther 36. After the Cards took 2:30 off the clock, the Panthers took over at their own 17 with 2:20 left and one timeout. Newton moved the offense deep into AZ territory and with 1:19 left they faced a 4 th -n-5 from the 6. He connected across the middle to RB Mike Goodson but Cards LB Paris Lenon tackled him a yard shy of the marker to seal the season-opening win. PANTHERS CARDINALS Team Qtr.

However, the Redskins scored twice in the final 5:17 to earn the 1-point victory that dropped Arizona to 1-1. Washington penetrated the AZ40 on all 5 of its first half drives while holding a advantage in total yards and a 13-minute edge in time of possession. On the game s opening series the Redskins advanced to the AZ 6; however Rex Grossman s 3 -n-goal pass was INT d by SS Adrian Wilson at the 2. On the next Redskins drive they faced 3 rd -n-8 from the AZ39 when Grossman s pass was tipped by WR Anthony Armstrong and INT d by CB Richard Marshall who returned it 33 yards to the Washington 37. Two plays later Kevin Kolb hit TE Jeff King with a 21-yard TD pass to put the Cards up 7-0. The Redskins answered with a 14-play, 77-yard drive that chewed 8:29 off the clock and ended with Graham Gano s 26-yard FG. The Skins then took the lead on their next series thanks to a 1-yard Grossman TD pass to TE Fred Davis. They moved 80 yards in 6 play thanks to a 33-yard catch-n-run from rookie RB Roy Helu and a 20-yard run by ex- Cardinal Tim Hightower. Late in the first half, a Brandon Banks punt return and 15-yard facemask set the Redskins up at the AZ20 with 1:36 on the clock. They came away empty, however, when Gano s 30-yard FG try was swatted by 6-8 DE Calais Campbell, the 3 rd FG block of his career. The Cards started the 2 nd half with the ball and down just 3. They quickly moved inside the Washington 20 but a Kolb 3 rd down pass went off the hands of WR Andre Roberts and was INT d by LB London Fletcher at the 11 to end the threat. The Cards came back to take the lead on the next series, moving 90 yards in 9 plays. RB Beanie Wells had a 25-yard run on the drive and capped it with his 2-yard TD run. Early in the 4 th, Washington moved to the AZ5 but settled for a 23-yard Gano FG that trimmed the margin to On the first play of the next drive, Kolb threw it deep down the right sideline for Larry Fitzgerald, releasing it just before a blind-side hit; the all-pro WR hauled it in for a 73-yard TD. On the play, Fitzgerald tied Roy Green for most TD catches in team history (66) and also tied Anquan Boldin for the franchise record for most 100- yard receiving games (29). Now down 8, the Redskins faced a 4 -n-3 at the AZ18 with just over 5 minutes to play. They went for it and Grossman hit Santana Moss in the corner of the end zone; when the 2-point try failed the Skins trailed After a Cards 3-n-out, Grossman moved Washington from its own 36 to the AZ16 to set-up Gano s 34-yard go-ahead FG. On Arizona s next play from scrimmage, Kolb hit WR Chansi Stuckey on a 12-yard pass up the middle but he fumbled going to the ground and Washington recovered to seal the win.

25 Game 3 Seahawks 13, CARDINALS 10 September 25, 2011 CenturyLink Field Field (66,199) For the second straight Sunday, the Cardinals had a tough road win well within their reach but let the opportunity slip through their fingers with a turnover in the game s closing minutes. A week after losing by one to the Redskins in DC, Arizona fell to 1-2 with a 3-point defeat at Seattle. The Cards limited Seattle to just 13 points (2 FGs and a TD) but were unable to find their rhythm offensively. Four AZ drives that penetrated Seattle territory came away with no points two ending on missed FGs (51 & 49) and another two with INTs including a key pick with just over a minute to play. Starting RB Beanie Wells missed the game with a hamstring injury and was replaced by veteran Chester Taylor and 2 nd -year player Alfonso Smith. Arizona s lone TD came on a Larry Fitzgerald score in the 2 nd quarter that made him the franchise s all-time leader in receiving TDs. On their first possession of the afternoon, the Cards threatened but a sack backed them up and Jay Feely missed a 51-yard FG try. The Seahawks responded with a 47-yard drive that ended with Steven Hauschka s 30-yard FG and a 3-0 lead. Arizona s A.J. Jefferson returned the ensuing kickoff 51 yards to the AZ 48 and that led to Feely s 44-yard game-tying FG. DE Calais Campbell halted the next drive with one of his career-best 2.5 sacks of Tarvaris Jackson. The AZ offense then went hurry-up after taking over at its own 22. The Cardinals moved 78 yards in 8 plays and capped the drive with a 12-yard pass from Kevin Kolb to Fitzgerald who went up between 2 defenders in the end zone and came down with the TD that broke Roy Green s franchise mark. Hauschka then hit a 52-yarder that trimmed Arizona s lead to 10-6 with 0:43 left in the half. Enough time remained for Kolb and the offense to move to the SEA 41 with 0:07 left but Marcus Trufant ended that scoring threat with an INT at the Seattle 17. The Seahawks scored what turned out to be the only points of the second half on their first series after intermission when Jackson scrambled and found the end zone from 11 yards away. The teams then traded punts on the next six possessions. With 11:20 to play and down by three, Arizona took over at its own 20 and moved to the SEA 31 but Feely s 49-yarded that could have tied it was no good with 5:28 left. The Cards got the ball back at their own 31 with 2:57 left and still down just 3. They converted a 4 th -n-1 from the SEA 39 thanks to a pass interference penalty just after the 2:00 warning. But facing a 3 rd -n-12 at the SEA 36 with 1:15 remaining, Kolb s pass to Heap was picked off by Kam Chancellor at the 25, ending Arizona s last best chance. Arizona s defense got steady pressure on Jackson and came up with four sacks; they forced 8 Seattle punts while limiting the Seahawks to 261 total yards. The Cardinals offense outgained Seattle by nearly 100 yards but had difficulty on third downs, converting on 3 of 14 opportunities. CARDINALS SEAHAWKS Team Qtr.

Like the previous 2, victory appeared to be in their hands before seeing it slip away late. This time they lost a 10-point 4 th quarter advantage by allowing two TD passes 0:58 apart late in the final stanza; the 2 nd TD came a play after a controversial call disallowed a game-sealing AZ takeaway. The loss overshadowed an outstanding day for RB Beanie Wells; a week after sitting out with a hamstring injury, he ran for a career-best 138 yards and 3 TDs. Larry Fitzgerald also became the franchise s all-time leader in both career receiving yards & 100-yard games. The Cards had chances early as their first 3 drives reached the red zone but they came away with just 6 points on a pair of FGs. On the 3 rd snap of the game, Calais Campbell forced an Ahmad Bradshaw fumble that Clark Haggans recovered at the NY 16. That led to a 27-yard Jay Feely FG and 3-0 lead. The Cards had another chance for points when their next possession reached the NY17 but Kolb had the ball stripped by Osi Umenyiora and the Giants recovered. Arizona again penetrated deep into NY territory on its next series and came away with another Feely FG. It wasn t until 6:30 remained in the half that the Giants crossed midfield but they made it count on that series, capping the 69-yard, 10-play drive with Bradshaw s 13-yard TD run. Just before intermission, NY increased its lead to 10-6 on a Lawrence Tynes 30-yard FG. Arizona then surged ahead with a TD on its opening drive of the 2 nd half. The biggest play was a 47-yard grab by Fitzgerald, who wrestled the ball away from Deon Grant and in doing so replaced Roy Green atop the franchise s receiving yardage list; it also set-up a 1-yard Wells TD run. Later in the 3 rd, rookie DT David Carter stripped the ball from Manning and Darnell Dockett recovered at the NY 5; 2 plays later Wells again scored from a yard away to give AZ a lead. Early in the 4 th, Brandon Jacobs 1-yard TD run made it Midway thru that final quarter, a 39-yard Wells moved the ball to the NY18 and 3 plays later he ran it in from 2 yards out for his 3 rd TD of the afternoon. With 5:16 left and down 10, the Giants took over at their own 20. They moved 80 yards in 7 plays and pulled to within 3 when Manning hit TE Jake Ballard with a 2- yard TD pass. After a Cards 3-n-out, NY took over at the AZ48 with 3:10 left. On the first play, Manning hit Victor Cruz with a 19-yard pass to the 29 but he appeared to fumble at the end with AZ recovering. However, officials ruled that Cruz had declared himself down before fumbling, making the play unreviewable. On the next snap, Manning connected with Hakeem Nicks on a 29-yard go-ahead TD. The Cards took over at their own 24 with 2:35 remaining and advanced to the NY29. But after a damaging sack backed them up 10 yards, their hopes ended when Kolb s 4 th -n-2 pass from the NY30 fell incomplete. GIANTS CARDINALS Team Qtr.

26 Game 5 Vikings 34, CARDINALS 10 October 9, 2011 Mall of America Field (62,479) The Cardinals dropped their fourth straight contest and fell to 1-4 on the season with a loss at Minnesota. Early miscues created a large deficit from which Arizona could never recover. The Vikings enjoyed tremendous field position early and started three consecutive first quarter drives at the AZ 18, 24 and 25-yard lines. Each of those possessions ended with a Minnesota TD en route to a 28-0 opening quarter lead. The first short field came by way of a punt return to the AZ18 and Adrian Peterson converted with a 4-yard TD run. On the next play from scrimmage, a tipped Kevin Kolb pass was INT d by Asher Allen to set Minnesota up at the 24. One play later, Peterson scored on a 24-yard run down the right sideline. The nightmare opening quarter continued on the second play of the next Cardinals drive when Kolb was stripped by Brian Robison and Jared Allen recovered at the AZ25. Five plays later, Donovan McNabb scrambled up the middle for a 4-yard TD run that gave the hosts a 21-0 with 6:25 to play in the opening quarter. A 36-yard pass interference penalty on the next Vikings series set-up Peterson s third rushing TD, a 14-yarder that put Minnesota up The Vikings, who entered the game 0-4, had surrendered double-digit first half leads in each of their first three games of the year but would not on this afternoon. Jay Feely got the Cardinals on the board early in the second with a 51-yard FG. The next Cardinals drive reached the MIN19 but a sack by Allen backed them up and out of scoring range. Arizona went nohuddle in the second half and on their opening drive, the Cardinals drive moved 59 yards in 9 plays and Beanie Wells scored from 2 yards out to make it However, Minnesota let them get no closer. The next Vikings possession saw McNabb connect with Devin Aromashodu on a 60-yard pass play that set-up Ryan Longwell s 26-yard FG. With about 10 minutes remaining, an 11-yard Kolb-to-Early Doucet TD was wiped away by an illegal hands to the face penalty and the game s only other points came via Longwell s 53-yarder with 2:09 left in the fourth. Doucet was Arizona s leading receiver with 8 catches for 92 yards while Wells led the Cardinals ground game with 20 carries for 60 yards and a TD.

Arizona trailed 14-0 early but came back to pull within midway through the third. They could get no closer to the Steelers who enjoyed a 23:41 to 6:19 time of possession advantage in the second half. It was the Cards fifth consecutive defeat and it dropped them to 1-5 on the season. Arizona opened the game by winning the toss and elected to receive but turned it over on their 4 th offensive snap. Kevin Kolb was pressured on a pass attempt to Rob Housler and the ball bounced off the TE s helmet into the arms of FS Ryan Clark for an INT, setting the Steelers up at the AZ31. Five plays later Ben Roethlisberger found TE Heath Miller with a 12-yard TD pass that gave Pittsburgh an early 7-0 lead. After the team s traded punts on the next five possessions, the Steelers took over at their own 9 and a false start backed them up to the 5. However, on the next snap Roethlisberger hit WR Mike Wallace with a franchise-record 95-yard TD pass down the right sideline. Down 14-0 the Cardinals, began to move the ball and embarked on a lengthy drive that was aided by 3 defensive holding penalties by Pittsburgh. The 13- play, 80-yard drive ended with a 1-yard TD run by Alfonso Smith, who came on when Beanie Wells sprained his knee earlier in the drive. After Arizona cut the deficit in half, the Steelers quickly moved into position for a 41-yard Shaun Suisham FG as the first half expired and Pittsburgh led 17-7 at intermission. On the Cardinals first offensive series of the second half, Kolb bought time in the pocket and dumped it off to LaRod Stephens-Howling; the diminutive but speedy RB raced 73 yards around the right side for a TD that made it The Steelers answered right back and Roethlisberger capped a 10-play, 80-yard drive with a 4-yard TD pass to WR Emmanuel Sanders. A holding penalty on the ensuing kickoff meant AZ started the next drive at its own 7. On the first play of the series, Kolb was pressured up the middle by LaMarr Woodley and though he got rid of the ball, was flagged for intentional grounding which resulted in a safety. Two more Suisham FGs in the fourth quarter made it With 3:53 to play, Kolb hit Early Doucet with a 2-yard TD pass that provided the game s final points. STEELERS CARDINALS Team Qtr.

27 Game 7 Ravens 30, CARDINALS 27 October 30, 2011 M&T Bank Stadium Stadium (71,022) At Baltimore in week 8, the Cardinals jumped out to a 24-3 lead thanks to three touchdowns in a span of 4:36 in the second quarter. The Ravens then scored 24 unanswered to go up early in the fourth but Arizona tied it with a FG midway through that final stanza. The Cards got the ball twice more but could not re-take the lead and a short game-winning FG as time expired completed the largest comeback in Ravens history. The loss was Arizona s 6 th straight and dropped them to 1-6 the season. The Cards opened the scoring late in the first quarter when a 66-yard Kevin Kolb completion to Larry Fitzgerald set up a 32-yard Jay Feely FG. It was the longest pass play allowed all season by the Ravens #1 ranked defense. Baltimore answered on the next series by moving to the 2 but couldn t get in the end zone and a 26-yard FG by Billy Cundiff tied it. The next Ravens drive started at their own 9; LB O Brien Schofield then sacked Joe Flacco forcing a fumble that DT Darnell Dockett recovered at the 2. RB Beanie Wells who battled through a knee injury to rush 22 times for 83 yards punched it in to take the lead. When Baltimore s next drive stalled, rookie Patrick Peterson took the ensuing punt 82 yards for his second punt return TD of the season. On the next play from scrimmage, Flacco s pass to WR Torrey Smith bounced off the rookie s hands to CB Richard Marshall who intercepted at the Ravens 25. Kolb then hit WR Early Doucet with a 10-yard scoring pass that made it 24-3 with 3:46 left in the half. The Ravens began their comeback with a FG late in the first half and a TD on the opening drive of the second to make it Late in the third quarter, they launched a 10-play, 80-yard drive that ended with Ray Rice s second 1-yard TD run of the quarter, narrowing the lead to On Arizona s next snap, Kolb was hit by LB Terrell Suggs leading to a Jameel McClain INT that set Baltimore up at the AZ22 and Rice converted with a go-ahead TD early in the fourth. The Cards responded by moving to the Baltimore 27 on a 12-play drive and Feely s 45-yarder knotted the game at 27. The teams quickly traded punts on the next four series but with 0:52 left Baltimore took over at the AZ44. On the second play, Flacco found Smith with a 36-yard completion down the right sideline that set-up Cundiff s 25-yarder. The contest was the first for Ravens WR Anquan Boldin against his former team and he responded with a game-high 145 yards on 7 receptions. CARDINALS RAVENS Team Qtr.

Arizona held St. Louis to just 13 points via three Josh Brown FGs and a pair of 3 quarter safeties but trailed 13-6 late in the 4 th quarter. However QB John Skelton who started in place of Kevin Kolb (toe/foot) engineered the game s only TD drive to tie it with 4:51 remaining. The Rams would move into position for a 42-yard game-winning FG try on the final play of regulation but 6-8 DE Calais Campbell burst through the middle to force overtime with his 4 th career FG block. The Cards D stopped the Rams on the opening series of OT and return man Patrick Peterson fielded the ensuing punt at the AZ1; from there the electrifying rookie eluded a series of Rams before finding himself in the clear down the right sideline for the game-winning score. It was the second-longest punt return in NFL history and the 2 nd ever OT punt return score. It was also Peterson s third punt return TD of the season making him the first player in NFL history to accomplish that in his first 8 games. In the 1 st quarter, it was a 22-yard Peterson punt return and 15-yard personal foul that set-up the Cards at the Ram 37; that led to a 27-yard Jay Feely FG and early 3-0 lead. Led by QB Sam Bradford, who returned to the lineup after missing the previous 2 games with an ankle injury, the Rams evened the score on their next drive with Josh Brown s 48-yard FG. Later in the quarter, Bradford went deep on a flea flicker to Brandon Lloyd but Peterson matched the WR step for step and outleapt him for the INT. However, the Rams added FGs on their next two drives to take a 9-3 halftime lead. After 2 quarters, St. Louis led in total yards and by more than 10 minutes in time of possession. The Cards opened the 2 nd half with a field goal drive that made it 9-6 but their next two drives did not end well. The first started at their own 2 and on the 2 nd play, Skelton was sacked in the end zone by James Hall for a safety. After a Rams punt pinned them at their 9, Skelton was called for intentional grounding in the end zone for another safety and the Rams led Midway through the 4 th, the Cards needed a TD to tie it and did just that with 9-play, 84-yard drive. It was aided by a pair of 14-yard scrambles by Skelton and ended on a 13-yard TD pass from Skelton to Larry Fitzgerald. The next drive saw the Rams move to the AZ33 when the Cards stopped Steven Jackson for no gain on 3 rd -n-1. Instead of trying a 50-yard FG, St. Louis opted to go for it on 4 th -n-1 and the Cards stopped Jackson again. With under a minute to play in the tie game, the Rams were again driving and faced a 3 rd -n-6 from the AZ37 with 0:15 left. Bradford s pass to Lloyd fell incomplete but Peterson was flagged for pass interference. Two plays later St. Louis lined up for the 42-yard game-winning try that Campbell would block. The Rams won the OT coin toss and moved from their 27 to 45 before AZ forced the punt that led to Peterson s historic return. RAMS CARDINALS Team Qtr.

28 Game 9 CARDINALS 21, Eagles 17 November 13, 2011 Lincoln Financial Field (69,144) The Cardinals opened the season s 2 nd half in Philly against a talented Eagles team and looking to end an 11-game road skid. For the 2 nd straight week, John Skelton started at QB in place of the injured Kevin Kolb (toe/foot) and while he made a couple mistakes that cost the Cards, he made up for it with several key plays. Many of those involved all-pro WR Larry Fitzgerald who finished with 7 catches for 146 yards and a pair of TDs as well as an incredible grab to set-up the game-winning score. The Eagles own star WR DeSean Jackson was inactive after missing a team meeting Saturday. While the AZ offense ultimately won the game late, it was the Cards defense that was strong throughout vs. a Philly team that ranked #1 on the ground and 3 rd overall. They harassed Michael Vick into one of his worst outings and also largely contained dangerous RB LeSean McCoy. Both teams moved to 3-6 following Arizona s comeback win. Twice in the first quarter, AZ marched into scoring position but came away without points after Jay Feely missed on FG tries of 35 and 43 yards. Fortunately the defense stepped up, stopping the Eagles on a 4 th -n-2 play from the AZ38 on their first series and forcing punts on next 4. The Eagles D made its own big play to open the scoring when CB Asante Samuel stepped in front of a Skelton pass intended for Fitzgerald and returned it 20 yards for a TD. Skelton then showed his grit by leading a 10-play, 80-yard drive on the next series and capped it with a 10-yard scoring pass to Fitzgerald that tied the game at 7. Late in the half, the Eagles were marching and SS Adrian Wilson appeared to end the threat with an INT in the end zone but the pick was wiped away by a defensive holding penalty. Three plays later, McCoy scored from a yard out to make it 14-7 at intermission. Late in the scoreless 3 rd quarter, the Eagles reached the AZ13 but Calais Campbell INT d a Vick pass at the line of scrimmage. When the 4 th quarter started, the Cards trailed by 7 but were on the move. The drive appeared to end with an incompletion on 3 rd -n-10 near midfield but CB Nnamdi Asomugha was offside and the Cards converted on the next snap. Three plays later a Skelton pass was deflected by CB Joselio Hanson right to Fitzgerald for a 7-yard TD, his 2 nd of the day and 70 th of his career, passing Roy Green for the all-time franchise lead. On the ensuing Philly drive, Richard Marshall appeared to make a diving INT but the call was reversed after an Eagles challenge. The Cards would get the ball back on a punt but on 3 rd -n-7 at the AZ17, Asomugha INT d an overthrown Skelton pass to set the Eagles up the AZ 26. However, the Cardinals defense answered again by forcing a 36-yard FG that made it with 5:06 to play. The AZ offense started the next drive at its own 13 and soon faced a 4 th -n-2 at the AZ 32 with 3:10 left. They converted when Skelton lofted a pass to LaRod Stephens-Howling out of the backfield and the RB raced 30 yards to the PHI38. After a pair of incompletions, Skelton lofted it downfield on 3 rd -n-10 and Fitzgerald made an amazing over-the-head diving catch at the 1 for a 37-yard gain. Two plays later on 3 rd -n-goal from the 5, Skelton found WR Early Doucet on a screen pass for the game-winner. About a minute later, CB A.J. Jefferson sealed the game with an INT of Vick.

A strong defensive effort allowed Arizona to keep the game close by limiting the 49ers to 3 first half field goals but the Cardinals offense struggled all afternoon to find any type of rhythm. QB John Skelton started his 3 rd straight game in place of Kevin Kolb (toe/foot) but completed just 6-19 passes with 3 INTs before being replaced by Rich Bartel early in the 4 th quarter. The 49ers scored a pair of TDs within a 3-minute span in the 3 rd quarter to break the game open on their way to a 23-7 victory and eighth consecutive win. The 49ers held large advantages in all statistical categories but Arizona was particularly hurt by its five turnovers (3 INT, 2 fumbles). On their opening drive of the game, the 49ers reached the AZ28 but came away pointless when DE Calais Campbell blocked David Akers 48-yard FG try; it was Campbell s 3 rd FG block of the season and 5 th of his career. On the 2 nd play of the ensuing AZ drive, LB Patrick Willis picked off Skelton s pass intended for Andre Roberts to set up San Fran at the AZ38 but the Cards defense forced a 3-n-out and Akers missed wide right from 49 yards. Akers did put SF up 3-0 on its next series with a 22-yard FG to cap a 9-play, 59- yard drive. On the next snap from scrimmage, Beanie Wells turned it over at the AZ26 after the 49ers successfully challenged it as a fumble and not down by contact. The Cardinals again held SF to a FG, this time from 43 yards away that made it 6-0. After another Arizona 3-n-out, San Fran reached the AZ12 and lined up for another FG but Patrick Peterson blocked Akers 30-yard attempt to keep the score at 6-0. It marked the first time since 1972 the Cards had two blocked FGs in a game. It made the Niners 2-5 on first half FGs after entering the game for the season; Akers had also made 15 straight. Just before halftime, the Niners converted a 4 th -n-2 from the AZ31 leading to a 29-yard FG that made it 9-0. San Fran opened the 2 nd half with a long drive (13-85) and found the end zone for the first time when Alex Smith hit WR Kyle Williams with an 8-yard TD pass. On Arizona s second offensive play of the 3 rd quarter, Skelton went deep down the middle but was INT d by S Donte Whitner who returned the pick 48 yards to the AZ37. That led 4 plays later to an 18-yard Smith TD pass to TE Vernon Davis. Down 23-0, the Cards marched to the SF26 before Skelton was picked off by CB Dashon Goldson to kill the drive. A 3-nout led to a 49ers punt but Peterson fumbled on the return giving it back to SF at the AZ31. They reached the 6 before LB Daryl Washington picked off Smith in the end zone. The game s only remaining score came midway through the 4 th when Bartel found Larry Fitzgerald with a 23-yard TD pass, the first of the QB s career. Earlier in the day, Fitzgerald eclipsed 9,000 career receiving yards and at 28 years, 81 days became the 2 nd youngest player in NFL history to reach the milestone (Randy Moss: 27 years, 310 days).

29 Game 11 CARDINALS 23, Rams 20 November 27, 2011 Edward Jones Dome (56,029) The Cardinals won for the 3 rd time in 4 games and improved to 4-7 for the season with a record-setting effort. RB Beanie Wells, who had been battling a knee injury in recent weeks, rushed for a franchise-record 228 yards including career-best runs of 53 and 71 yards. Rookie Patrick Peterson tied the NFL singleseason record for punt return TDs with his 80-yarder in the 3 rd quarter; three other players had done it previously but none had 4 TDs cover 80+ yards like Peterson. Rookie LB Sam Acho came up big defensively as he recorded two pivotal sacks, forced two fumbles and recovered another. The victory was Arizona s 7 th straight win in St. Louis, the longest such road win streak in franchise history. The Rams opened the scoring with an 88-yard punt return TD from Nick Miller, who joined the team on Thursday. John Skelton again started at QB in place of Kevin Kolb (toe/foot) and on the 3 rd play of the next drive overthrew Larry Fitzgerald leading to a Rod Hood INT. St. Louis took over at the AZ31 and advanced to the 16 but Acho sacked Sam Bradford forcing a fumble that Paris Lenon recovered to end the threat. Late in the 1 st quarter, Wells raced 71 yards from the AZ18 to the STL11 leading to a Jay Feely FG. There was no further first half scoring until the final minute when a 20-yard Bradford to Brandon Lloyd pass took it the AZ3. A false start penalty plus another Acho sack backed the Rams up to 17 forcing them to settle for a Josh Brown FG that made it 10-3 at intermission. On the opening drive of the 3 rd quarter, a series of Wells runs preceded a 41-yard Skelton to Fitzgerald pass and set up another short Feely FG. On the next Rams possession Acho forced a fumble by TE Lance Kendricks and recovered it himself at the STL28. Facing a 3 rd -n-13 at the 31, Skelton scrambled and dove for the first down to extend a drive that ended with Wells 7-yard TD run. Up 13-10, the Cards defense forced a three-n-out on the next drive when the Rams opted to punt rather than go for it on 4 th -n-inches from their own 30. Peterson fielded the Donnie Jones punt at the 20 and raced untouched up the middle of the field for his NFL-record tying TD. The Rams trailed to start the 4 th but would not go away. A 48-yard Brown FG made it On the next play, Skelton was hit while passing and LB James Laurinitis picked it off at the AZ37. The Rams could not capitalize as Brown s 50-yard FG try was wide right. With 9:00 left, the Rams came up with another takeaway at the AZ44 on a fumble by Wells, who exited the game after awkwardly twisting and aggravating his injured right knee on the play. Three snaps later Bradford hit WR Brandon Lloyd with a 16-yard game-tying TD. After sitting out the first few plays of the next drive, Wells returned to rip off a 53-yard run to the STL9 and Feely s 22-yarder put AZ up 3 with 4:09 to play. After the Cards defense sent the Rams three-n-out, the offense took over at its own 26 with 3:16 left. Two key 3rd-n-4 conversions by LaRod Stephens-Howling allowed AZ to run out the clock.

But for the 3 rd time in 4 years they left University of Phoenix Stadium in defeat thanks to a Cardinals score on the game s final play. This time it was a 52-yard catch-and-run by LaRod Stephens- Howling that won it on the first possession of OT after Dallas missed a 49-yard game-winning FG try at the end of regulation. An outstanding defensive effort kept the game close throughout and limited the Cowboys to 75 rushing yards on 20 carries while posting a season-high 5 sacks of Tony Romo. Punter Dave Zastudil was also key averaging 50.1 yards on his 7 punts with 5 over 50. AZ had just 49 total yards of offense in the 1 st half but was much more productive in the 2 nd half. QB Kevin Kolb returned to the lineup after a 4-game absence (toe/foot) and looked sharp while WR Andre Roberts had 6 pivotal catches for 111 yards. Cowboys rookie K Dan Bailey entered the game with just one missed FG on the season and had made 26 in a row but was wide left from 53 yards out on Dallas first drive. From there, the Cards had back-to-back 15-yard plays - a pass to Roberts & run by Stephens-Howling - to set up a 48-yard Jay Feely FG. With 5:50 to go in the 1 st half, Bailey ricocheted a 50-yarder off the left upright to tie the game. The next Dallas drive started at the AZ33 following a Dez Bryant punt return. A completion to TE Jason Witten picked up 28 and Romo finished the drive with a 5-yard TD to Bryant. Throughout the 1 st half, Dallas had an average drive start of its own 40 compared to the Cardinals who started at their own 17. Arizona opened the 2 nd half strong as Kolb completed passes of 14 & 18 yards to Larry Fitzgerald before scrambling 17 yards to the Dallas 5. A false start on 4 th -n-goal at the 1 backed them into a 23-yard FG that made it Dallas responded with a 13-play, 65-yard drive that produced another Bailey FG. The Cards tied it on the next series with a 79-yard TD drive. The biggest play was a 40-yard pass from Kolb to Roberts that took it to the Dallas 33 and led to Beanie Wells 4-yard TD. With 3:00 left, Bryant returned a punt deep into AZ territory but it was wiped out by a block in the back penalty. Instead they started at their own 32 with 2:54 left. With about 30 seconds to go, Romo completed a 15-yard pass to Bryant on 3 rd -n-11 to take it to the AZ31. Instead of using one of their two remaining timeouts, the Cowboys spiked it with 0:07 left and lined up for a 49-yard FG. Bailey s attempt was right down the middle but Dallas called timeout just before the try. He was then short & left on the re-kick to send the game to overtime. The Cards won the toss and started at their own 20. Two completions to Roberts picked up 20 and he also drew a pass interference to pick-up a key first down on 2 nd -n-19. On 1 st -n-15 at the AZ 48, Kolb eluded a blitzing Cowboy, stepped to his right and tossed a short screen pass to Stephens-Howling out of the backfield. The 5-7 RB then zig-zagged 52 yards down the right sideline and into the end zone. COWBOYS CARDINALS Team Qtr.

30 Game 13 CARDINALS 21, 49ers 19 December 11, 2011 University of Phoenix Stadium (60,808) The 10-2 Niners came to AZ as division champs fighting to hold onto a #2 playoff seed and riding a 5- game win streak against the Cardinals. Arizona entered the game at 5-7 after winning 4 of its last 5, but lost QB Kevin Kolb with a head injury on its first series. But thanks to another superb effort from the defense, a handful of big plays from the John Skelton-led offense, and an incredible performance from Larry Fitzgerald, the Cardinals scored a huge win to keep their playoff hopes alive. On Arizona s first drive, Kolb took a knee to the head from LB Ahmad Brooks and Skelton went the rest of the way. Three times in the first half, San Fran had the ball within the AZ6 but the Cards D held them to a FG on each. David Akers 46-yarder provided the 1 st quarter s only points but a 52-yard Ted Ginn punt return set SF up at the AZ4 to start the 2 nd. The defense did not allow a yard and Akers 22-yarder made it 6-0. Later in the quarter, the 49ers lined up for a long FG but ran a successful fake that appeared to be headed for a TD before whistled dead. Just before the snap, Ken Whisenhunt threw the flag to challenge the previous play. A replay equipment malfunction prevented a review and when play resumed Akers was wide right from 50, his first miss of the year in 6 tries from 50+. On the next snap, Skelton hit Early Doucet across the middle and, aided by a key downfield block from Fitzgerald, he took it the distance for a 60-yard TD that put AZ up 7-6. The next SF series reached the AZ 6 thanks largely to a 32-yard Vernon Davis catch but the 49ers again settled for a short Akers FG. On the next drive, Skelton s pass went off Andre Roberts hands to Dashon Goldson who returned the INT down the sideline but was caught from behind at the 16 by Fitzgerald on a TD-saving tackle. The drive reached the 4 but Akers 22-yard FG made it 12-7 at the half. After penalties & a sack cost the Cards field position to open the 2 nd half, the 49ers took over at the AZ37 following a punt. On 1 st down, Frank Gore ran 37 yards for a TD that made it Badly needing a score the Cards advanced to the SF46 when Skelton fired across the middle to Fitzgerald who outlept Goldson to snare the ball before spinning away and racing for a TD that cut the 49er lead to 5. On the first play of the 4th quarter, Skelton and Fitzgerald connected again, this time on a 53-yarder to the SF20. Four plays later, Skelton hit Roberts on a 3-yard slant to put AZ up with 11:50 to go. The Cards defense would make the lead hold up. In all, 5 different players recorded sacks and the Niners ran just one 2 nd half play from AZ territory. The final stop came after SF moved to its own 41 with 2:14 to go. On 3 rd -n-1, Calais Campbell knocked down Smith s pass at the line. On 4 th down, Smith scrambled across the field and back before throwing an incomplete pass. Fitzgerald s 149-yard effort allowed him to eclipse 1,000 yards for the 6 th time in 8 seasons and Whisenunt s 42 nd win tied him with Don Coryell for most in team history. 49ERS CARDINALS Team Qtr.

Game 14 CARDINALS 20, Browns 17 (OT) December 18, 2011 University of Phoenix Stadium (60,443) Continuing their penchant for dramatic comebacks, the Cardinals pulled out another thriller with a overtime win over Cleveland that kept their playoff hopes alive. With it they improved to 7-7, won for the 6 th time in 7 weeks and for first time since 1999, won four straight in a regular season. The Cards became the 9 th team in NFL history with three OT wins in a season, and just the 2 nd (1995 Chiefs) with three at home. Ken Whisenhunt passed Don Coryell for most wins in franchise history (43). Each team s starting QB sat out due to concussions suffered in the previous game so Arizona s John Skelton (for Kevin Kolb) and Cleveland s Seneca Wallace (for Colt McCoy) filled in and both played well. On the game s opening drive, the Browns moved 76 yards in 7 plays; RB Peyton Hillis was 5-35 rushing and capped the drive with a 1-yard TD run. Also key was a 28-yard Wallace pass to WR Mohamed Massaquoi to the AZ 4. Early in the 2 nd, Phil Dawson s 44-yard FG made it With 1:49 left in the first half, AZ took over at its own 35 and went to its hurry-up offense. Three completions to TE Todd Heap - who had his best outing as a Cardinal with a game-high 7 catches for 69 yards - set-up a 9-yard TD pass from Skelton to Andre Roberts with :19 left and made it 10-7 Cleveland at intermission. The 3 rd quarter was scoreless until the Browns faced a 3 rd -n-8 from their own 24 with just over 3:00 to go. Wallace eluded blitzing CB Michael Adams before firing to Greg Little just across midfield and the WR raced down the sideline for a 76-yard TD. The Cards responded on the next drive by moving to the Cleveland 26 but Skelton s pass bounced off Early Doucet and was INT d by DB Buster Skrine. After forcing a punt, AZ took over at its own 13 early in the 4 th and Skelton completions to Fitzgerald (18), Roberts (12) and Doucet (20) aided the 11-play, 87 yard drive that ended with Beanie Wells 1-yard TD run. Leading by 3 with 8:27 to go, the Browns took over at their own 19 after the ensuing kickoff. On 1 st down, Hillis was stuffed for minus-1; on 2nd down LB O Brien Schofield notched the first sack of the day on Wallace (minus-5); on 3 rd down Schofield sacked him again and the ball came loose. Officials originally ruled down by contact but an AZ challenge reversed to a fumble and Cardinal recovery at the 5. In three plays, the Cards went backwards and had to settle for Feely s game-tying 33-yard FG. Each team would get the ball twice more in regulation but neither could move into position for a score. Cleveland won the OT coin toss and took over at its own 20 to start. After one first down, they could not convert on 3 rd -n-6 from their 34. After Cleveland kicked away from him most of the day, dangerous returner Patrick Peterson fielded Brad Maynard s OT punt at the AZ28 and returned it 32 yards to the Browns 40. Three plays later on 3 rd -n-6, Skelton lofted a pass to Fitzgerald down the right sideline and the WR hauled it in for a 32-yard gain to the 4. On the next play, Feely knocked home the game-winner from 22 yards out. BROWNS CARDINALS Team Qtr.
