LAST WEEKS GAME

Game 3 CARDINALS 27, Eagles 6 September 23, 2012 University of Phoenix Stadium (60,436)
In a match-up of 2-0 teams, the Cardinals faced a Philly offense that entered the game ranked #1 in the NFL. But a swarming & relentless defensive effort battered Michael Vick all afternoon, sacking him 5 times and pressuring him much more frequently than that. With defensive captain and All-Pro SS Adrian Wilson out (ankle/groin) others stepped up including LB Daryl Washington (2 sacks) and FS Kerry Rhodes, who st provided an enormous momentum swing with a series of key plays at the end of the 1 half. Three key Eagles turnovers (none for AZ) were also pivotal as was an efficient Cards offense. Ex-Eagle QB Kevin Kolb again started and turned in another strong performance. His top target was WR Larry Fitzgerald who topped st 100 yards in the 1 half and finished 9-114-1TD receiving. He also notched career catch #700 and became the fastest NFL player to reach that mark by over a year. All of it added up to a 21-point Cards victory that st gave them their 1 3-0 start since 1974. With it they extended their home win streak to 7 games, 2 short of the franchise record set in 1925. After sending the Eagles 3-n-out on the games initial series, Kolb led an 8-play, 36-yard drive that ended with Jay Feelys 47-yard FG and a 3-0 lead. AZs next drive ended with a punt but Anthony Sherman forced rd a Damaris Johnson fumble that LS Mike Leach recovered at the PHI38. On 3 -n-goal from the 8, Kolb fired a st pass between a pair of Eagle defenders that defelected right to WR Michael Floyd for the rookies 1 reception & TD. The ensuing Eagles drive reached the AZ36 but LB Sam Acho ended it by sacking Vick, nd forcing a fumble DT Dan Williams recovered. Midway thru the 2 quarter, Kolb connected with Fitzgerald down the middle on a 37-yard TD pass that made it 17-0. Just before intermission the Eagles penetrated deep into AZ territory and appeared poised to cut into the lead heading into the locker room. Vick hit DeSean Jackson with a 14-yard pass to the 1 but FS Kerry Rhodes stood him there to keep him out of the end zone. st nd rd Incompletions on 1 and 2 downs set up a 3 -n-goal from the 1 with :06 left. Vick dropped back but Rhodes hit him on a blindside blitz forcing a fumble that S James Sanders scooped up. He followed an envoy of teammates down the left sideline for a 93-yard score as time expired. That 14-point swing put the Cards up 24-0 when it appeared that the Eagles would pull to within 10. nd rd a In the 2 half, Arizona was content to work the clock and the only 3 quarter scoring came on th pair of Alex Henery FGs as the Cardinals D continued to relentlessly harass Vick and the Eagles. In the 4 quarter AZ played keep-away and RB Ryan Williams kept the clock and sticks moving with determined running. Feelys 27-yard FG with 3:52 remaining provided the games final points.

CARDINALS & DOLPHINS THE LAST TIME

Game 2 CARDINALS 31, Dolphins 10 September 14, 2008 University of Phoenix Stadium (63,445)
In their home opener, the Cardinals offense rolled up 445 total yards and 31 points on the Dolphins en route to a 21-point victory and their first 2-0 start since 1991. QB Kurt Warner passed for 361 yards and 3 TDs. All 3 went to WR Anquan Boldin who finished with 6 catches for 140 yards and his first career 3-TD day. Fellow WR Larry Fitzgerald was 6-153 and the duo eclipsed the century mark in the same game for the 6th time. Boldins 22nd career 100yard game tied him with Jackie Smith for the most in franchise history. Warner finished with a perfect passer rating of 158.3, becoming the first Cardinal QB with a perfect rating since Jim Hart on 11/23/75 vs. NYJ. It was Warners third career perfect game tying him with Peyton Manning for most in NFL history. Warners first pass of the day set the tone for a big game. After a delay penalty and another for illegal formation, the Cards 1st down play saw Warner throw it deep down the middle for Boldin, who continued on for a career-long 79-yard score. On Arizonas next drive, the QB connected with Fitzgerald on a 75-yard pass to the 4 and 3 plays later, Warner hit Boldin with a 3-yard TD toss. While Miamis first 4 drives ended with punts, Arizonas produced points as Neil Rackers put the Cards up 17-0 with a 45-yard FG midway thru the 2nd quarter. On the opening series of the 2nd half, Arizona was aided by 3 Miami penalties that kept the drive alive and rookie Tim Hightower capped it with a 1-yard TD run that put AZ up 24-0. Hightower became the first player in team history with TD runs in each of his first two games. The Dolphins got on the board with a 32-yard Dan Carpenter FG but the Cards answered right back. They moved 80 yards in 8 plays as Warner and Boldin connected again, this time on an 8-yard hook-up. Only a Ronnie Brown 1-yard run with 2:38 left made the final 31-10. Both squads pulled their starting QBs as Chad Henne replaced Chad Pennington with 9:42 to play and Matt Leinart came in for Warner for the final series. Edgerrin James reached a career milestone on the opening drive of the 3rd quarter when he became just the 14th player in NFL history to eclipse 15,000 total yards from scrimmage.

THIS ONE NOT SO CLOSE

For the first time since the 2010 season, the Cardinals won a game that was decided by more than seven points after defeating the Eagles 27-6 last week. The 21-point margin of victory for Arizona was the largest since a 30-point victory over the Denver Broncos (43-13) in Week 14 of the 10 season. The 30-point victory over Denver and the 21-point win over Philadelphia bookend 11 consecutive wins by the Cards that were decided by seven points or fewer. The combined margin of victory for the Cards wins over Denver and Philadelphia was 51 points (25.5 ppg). The combined margin of victory for the 11 wins in between was 41 points (3.7 ppg). After all eight wins were decided by seven points or fewer in 2011, the Cards were back at it this season. In Week 1 vs. Seattle, the team pulled out a 20-16 nail-biter against the Seahawks. During the game, the Cardinals defense posted a last-minute goal line stand after the Seahawks reached the AZ-6 yard line. In Week 2 at New England, Arizona survived a late fumble and came away with a 20-18 victory after the Patriots missed a 42-yard FG attempt with one second remaining. How Close Have They Been? 9 The Cardinals played in an NFL-high 13 games that were decided by seven points or fewer in 2011. Arizona has played 19 games since the beginning of last season and 15 of them have been decided by seven points or fewer. The Cardinals have a 10-5 record in those games. 9 Prior to last weeks 21-point victory, Arizonas previous 11 wins had come by 2, 4, 7, 6, 4, 3, 6, 2, 3, 3 and 1 point. Four of those wins were decided in OT. 9 In the Cardinals last six games, four have come down to the final play, with all four being wins for Arizona.

DOMINANCE CONTINUES FOR DEFENSE

A week after snapping New Englands streak of 25 consecutive home games with at least 20 points, the Cardinals held the Eagles without a TD last week for the first time since the 09 regular season finale (1/3/10 at Dallas, 24-0 loss) while facing the NFLs top-rated offense heading into the game. After keeping the Eagles out of the end zone last week, the Cardinals defense has allowed just one TD over the last 28 opponent possessions and two TDs on 36 possessions through the first three games. Arizonas two TDs allowed are the fewest in the NFL this season. The Cardinals have yet to allow a rushing TD in 2012. Fewest TDs Allowed2012 TDs Team 2 Arizona 4 Seattle Houston 5 Chicago Minnesota Arizonas 13.3 points allowed per game this season ranks second in the league behind Seattle (13.0) and Arizona is the only team in the NFL who has allowed fewer than 20 points in all three games this season.

A major reason for the Cardinals NFL-best 10-2 record over the last 12 games is the fact that the defense has allowed just 14 TDs in 12 contests. That ties Houston for the lowest total in the NFL over that span, despite Houston playing just 11 games. Arizonas 1.33 TDs allowed per game is the top total in the NFL since Week 9 of last season.

CARDS CONTINUE TO STOP VICK

Last weeks performance marked the second-straight year the Cardinals defense held a powerful Eagles offense, led by QB Mike Vick, in check. After forcing Vick into one of the worst passing performances of his career in Week 10 of the 2011 season, the Cardinals defense stifled Vick yet again on Sunday, as he completed 17 of 37 pass attempts (45.9%) for 217 yards, no TDs and a passer rating of 64.8. A week after posting four sacks of Patriots All-Pro QB Tom Brady, the Cardinals defense applied constant pressure on Vick, sacking him five times and forcing two fumbles while also posting 13 QB hits. After holding the Pro Bowl QB without a TD pass last week, the Cardinals have now faced Vick five times without allowing a TD pass, a streak that includes 113 pass attempts.

TAKING DOWN THE PATS AT GILLETTE

With their 20-18 victory over the Patriots in Week 2, the Cardinals handed New England their first-ever loss in a home opener at Gillette Stadium. Before the loss to Arizona, the Patriots had a perfect 10-0 record in home openers since 2002. The Patriots last loss in a home opener came in 2001 to the Jets. That was the game Drew Bledsoe got hurt and led to Tom Brady taking over as starter. With the win in New England 9 The Cardinals snapped a five-game losing streak to the Patriots and earned the teams first win in New England since 1984 (33-10). It was the first victory against the Pats since a 24-10 victory in Arizona in 1991. 9 The Cardinals handed the Patriots just their 14th loss at Gillette Stadium since it opened in 2002. Entering the game, New England had a 67-13 record (.838) on their home field, which represented the best winning percentage of any team at a stadium since 1970 (min. 25 games). 9 Patriots QB Tom Brady entered the game with a 35-1 record in his previous 36 home starts. His only other loss came at the hands of the NY Giants on 11/16/11. 9 The Cardinals handed Pats head coach Bill Belichick his first loss to a team from the NFC West since the realignment in 2002. Entering the game, Belichick held an 8-0 record against the division dating back to 02. 9 Arizonas victory marked just the Pats second home loss to a team from the NFC dating back to 2006 (11/6/11 vs. NYG, 2420). New England entered the Week 2 meeting with a 38-6 record against teams from the NFC dating back to 2001.

After this weeks matchup against the Miami Dolphins at University of Phoenix Stadium, the Cardinals follow up with a short week as the team flies to St. Louis for a Thursday Night matchup that will air live nationally on NFL Network. It will mark Arizonas first Thursday night game since a Thanksgiving Day matchup in Philadelphia in 2008. When the Cardinals travel to face the Rams next week, the team will be looking for its eighth consecutive win in St. Louis. In 2011, the Cardinals defeated the Rams 23-20 in the Edward Jones Dome, the teams seventh straight win in St. Louis. That established a franchise mark for the longest road winning streak against any single opponent. Arizona will be appearing on NFL Network for the first time in the regular season since its Christmas Day victory over the Dallas Cowboys in 2010.

ANOTHER BLOCK
The Cardinals have made it an annual tradition to lead the NFL in blocked FGAs over the last few years. It has become a trademark of the team. However, in the Week 2 win over New England it was a blocked punt that led directly to seven points for the Cardinals. When LB Quentin Groves blocked Zoltan Meskos punt attempt inside the Patriots 10-yard line in the third quarter, the ball went out of bounds at the Patriots two-yard line and the Cardinals scored their first TD three plays later. Down 9-6 prior to the block, the Cards took a 13-9 lead and never trailed again. The blocked punt was the first of Groves career and it was the first for the Cardinals since Sean Morey memorably blocked a punt by Dallas Mat McBriar in an OT win vs. the Cowboys on 10/12/08. For the Cardinals, it was their 15th blocked kick dating back to 2008 (13 FGs, 2 punts), the most in the NFL. Arizona leads the NFL with two blocked kicks in 2012. In addition to the blocked punt yesterday, DE Calais Campbell blocked a Seattle FG in Week 1. Most Blocked Kicks (FG, PAT, Punt) 2008-2012 Block Team Type 15 Arizona FG (13), Punt (2) 14 Seattle FG (9), Punt (4), PAT 11 Chicago FG (5), PAT (4), Punt (2) 10 NY Giants FG (5), PAT (5) Tampa Bay Punt (5), PAT (3), FG (2) The blocked punt against the Patriots was the sixth blocked kick in 11 games for the Cardinals (5 FG, punt). When Calais Campbell blocked Seattles 50-yard FGA on the first offensive possession of the Week 1 matchup, it marked Arizonas first blocked FGA of the season and 13th FG block dating back to 2008, an NFL-high. The Cardinals led the NFL in blocked FGAs in each of the last three seasons (5 in 2011, 3 in 2010 and 3 in 2009).
THE COMEBACK CARDS RETURN

During the 2011 season, the Cardinals proved to be one of the best comeback teams in NFL history, winning six games in which the team trailed in the fourth quarter, tied for the second-most such victories for any NFL team since 1970.
th NFL Record4 Quarter Comeback Wins (1970-2011) Wins Team, Year 7 Indianapolis, 2009 6 Arizona, 2011 Indianapolis, 1999 Miami, 1992 Denver, 1985 Houston, 1978
That trend continued into the 2012 season after the Cardinals overcame a three-point fourth quarter deficit to beat the Seahawks 20-16 in the season opener at University of Phoenix Stadium. The Cardinals overcame a second half deficit in seven of their eight wins last season, one shy of the NFL modern-era record (8, shared by six teams, most recently the 2010 NY Jets).
FEELYS STREAK HITS 17

After connecting on FGs of 47 and 27 yards against the Eagles on Sunday to remain perfect on the season, K Jay Feely has now hit on 17 straight FG attempts dating back to last season.

A WELL EARNED REPUTATION

Arizonas reputation for blocking kicks is something that helps explain the trouble experienced by even some of the leagues most elite kickers when they face the Cardinals. The Cards gave some of the NFLs best kickers fits during the 2011 season. In the win during Week 2 at New England, Patriots K Stephen Gostkowskithe most accurate kicker in franchise historymissed a 42-yard FG attempt with one second left that sealed the Cards 20-18 victory. Prior to missing the potential game-winner, Gostkowski had made 38 consecutive fourth quarter field goals in the regular season. Kickers Who Struggled Against Arizona in 2011 9 Bengals K Mike Nugent held the NFL lead for FG accuracy (93.1%), having hit on 27-of-29 FG attempts on the season. Against the Cardinals, Nugent doubled his miss total for the season in the first half alone, missing on attempts of 35 and 48 yards. 9 San Francisco K David Akers, who established an NFL record for most FGs in a season with 44, saw most of his struggles in 2011 come against Arizona. Akers missed eight FG attempts last season (44-of-52) and half of those (4) came against Arizona. 9 Entering the game against the Cardinals in Week 13, Cowboys rookie K Dan Bailey had made 27-of-28 FGAs on the season, including 26 in a row leading into the game. That streak came to an end in the first quarter when Baileys 53-yard attempt went wide left. Bailey finished the day 2-of-4 on FGAs, also missing a potential game-winning 49-yard attempt at the end of the fourth quarter.
LEACH PICKS ONE UP

Long snapper Mike Leach made one of the key plays early in the game last week against the Eagles. With just over five minutes remaining in the first quarter and Arizona holding a 3-0 lead, Leach recovered a fumble on a Philly punt return that led to the Cardinals first TD of the day and a 10-0 lead eight plays later. For Leachwho was appearing in his 174th career regular season gameit was his first career fumble recovery in regular season action. Prior to Sunday, he did have a fumble recovery in postseason play as a member of the Denver Broncos. It came in a Divisional matchup vs. New England on 1/14/06. Leach, now in his 13th NFL season, spent seven years in Denver before signing with the Cardinals in 2009.

80 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP
In 1932, Charles W. Bidwill agreed to purchase the Chicago Cardinals from then-owner Dr. David Jones and the team has remained in the Bidwill family ever since. A prominent figure in the history of the National Football League, Charles Bidwill was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1967. Upon his passing in 1947, his wife Violet retained control of the franchise and ran the Cardinals for the next 15 years until her passing in 1962. Control of the team them moved to her sons Charles and William (Bill). Bill, whose association with the Cardinals began as a ball boy on Chicagos South Side, became the sole owner and chief executive officer in 1972 and his involvement with the team now in its eighth decade - continues today. Mr. B remains a constant fixture at team functions as well as the Cardinals Tempe training facility where the responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the team today resides with his son and team president, Michael. Michael Bidwill joined the Cardinals in 1996 as Vice President/General Counsel after practicing law for six years as a federal prosecutor. He has established his own legacy with the franchise that has included spearheading the effort that led to the creation of University of Phoenix Stadium and the teams greatest period of success, both on the field and off. Its always been a great sense of pride for our family to be associated with the National Football League, said Cardinals owner Bill Bidwill. It is a privilege that also carries a great sense responsibility to our fans and fans of the league that we do all we can to make sure our team and game are of the highest quality. We take that responsibility very seriously. Founded in 1898, the Cardinals are the oldest continuously run franchise in professional football. They were a charter member of the National Football League when it began in 1920; the Cardinals and Bears are the only charter members of the NFL still in existence today.
DRAFTING WELL
Cardinals General Manager Rod Graves is one of the NFLs longesttenured football decision makers, having led the teams personnel department since 2003.
th A native of Houston, Graves is in his 16 season with the Cardinals organization after joining the team in 1997 as the Assistant to the President. He was promoted to Vice President, Football Operations in 2003 and General Manager in 2007.
Graves is one of six African American general managers in the NFL, joining Baltimores Ozzie Newsome, Houstons Rick Smith, Detroits Martin Mayhew, the Giants Jerry Reese and Oaklands Reggie McKenzie. Graves oversees all facets of the teams football operations and has seen considerable success in building the team. One of the main ways Graves has built the team is through the NFL Draft. The Cardinals have received high praise for their successful draft classes under Graves, especially in recent years. Current Cardinals Pro Bowl players such as CB Patrick Peterson, WR Larry Fitzgerald, DT Darnell Dockett, and SS Adrian Wilson were all acquired through the draft.

SUPER BOWL RETURNING TO ARIZONA

On October 11, 2011, following a very competitive bidding process, the NFL owners awarded Super Bowl XLIX to Arizona as the nations biggest sporting event will be held at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale following the 2015 season. Its going to be huge for tourism, our economic development and our visibility not only in the United States but around the world, said Cardinals President Michael Bidwill following the vote. 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 and 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. 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.

ADDING WASHINGTON TO THE CORE

GM Rod Graves has made it clear that under his leadership, the organization will identify a core group of players to build the team around and keep that core intact. On September 6th, third-year LB Daryl Washington became the newest Cards player drafted under Graves that was extended by the team. Washington was given a six-year extension just under four months after the team extended DT th Calais Campbell, their second round pick (50 overall) in the 2008 Draft. Two things that successful teams do consistently is build through the draft and keep their core players, Graves said in announcing the extension for Washington. Daryl has certainly lived up to the potential we all saw in him coming out of TCU in 2010 and he has established himself as one of the top young defensive players in the NFL. I know he feels, like we do, that his best football is still ahead of him and were thrilled that this deal gives him the opportunity to achieve that with the Cardinals. During Graves tenure, WR Larry Fitzgerald, SS Adrian Wilson and DT Darnell Dockett have all signed multiple contract extensions since being drafted by Arizona.

BEYOND THE RECORDS

In his first eight NFL seasons, WR Larry Fitzgerald broke virtually every major Cardinals career receiving record. With those records in his pocket, the only remaining question is how high the numbers will go by the time he is done. In 2011, Fitzgerald became the franchise all-time leader in receiving yards, receiving TDs, career 100-yard games and total TDs. He became the franchise all-time receptions leader in 2010.

BEFORE HE TURNED 29
Fitzgerald turned 29 just prior to the start of the 2012 season (August 31st). Looking back over what he accomplished before then gives a good indication of just how special a player he has been.

A SPECIAL AWARD FOR FITZ

On August 13, Fitzgerald was honored as the recipient of the 14th annual Arthur S. Arkush Humanitarian Award by Pro Football Weekly. The award is given to an NFL player whose contributions to the community and charitable organizations are especially outstanding. Fitzgeralds work in the community is plentiful and far-reaching. He was honored by Pro Football Weekly for his work with the Larry Fitzgerald First Down Fund, which funds positive activities for kids during the summer and throughout the year, with programs in Arizona, Minneapolis and Chicago. It also makes significant contributions in time, money and resources to numerous organizations throughout the United States. His work with the Carol Fitzgerald Memorial Fund, which was established in honor of his late mother, who passed away from breast cancer in 2003, offers support of causes that Fitzgeralds mother held dear, including educating urban youth about HIV/AIDS and breast cancer issues. Fitzgerald has served as a key figure in the NFLs annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month. He served as an NFL spokesman for the league-wide initiative A Crucial Catch for the last two years and was again invited to do so in 2012. Fitzgerald has traveled to Africa numerous times over the last few years, both with his good friend Anquan Boldin and on behalf of the Starkey Hearing Foundation. His most recent trip was in late July just prior to the start of training camp when he flew to Uganda to assist President Clinton and his daughter Chelsea fit hearing aids for those in need. PFW also cited Fitzgeralds use of social media to further his humanitarian work. Through Twitter and Facebook, he connects with his huge following of fans (currently over 1.3 million followers) with his Gimme 5 Fridays with Fitz initiative, in which he tweets and asks Team Fitzgerald to text HAND to 50555 and $5 is given to Phoenix Childrens Hospital.

KOLB CONTINUES TO SHINE

Entering the 2012 season as a backup, QB Kevin Kolb vowed to be ready when called upon this season and that is exactly the scenario that played out in the season opener against Seattle. Starter John Skelton went down with an ankle injury during the Cardinals final offensive drive and with the Cards down 16-13, Kolb entered the contest and completed 6 of 8 attempts for 66 yards, including a game-winning six-yard TD pass to WR Andre Roberts with just under five minutes remaining. Kolb hasnt looked back since, with another highlight last week at University of Phoenix Stadium. Making his first appearance against the team that selected him in the second round (36th overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft and sent him to the Cardinals in a trade prior to the 2011 season, Kolb posted one of the finest outings of his career. In taking down the Eagles, Kolb completed 17 of 24 pass attempts (70.8%) for 222 yards, two TD, no INTs and a passer rating of 127.4. Kolbs 70.8 completion percentage was the second-highest of his career (79.3 vs. Atlanta, 10/17/10) while his passer rating of 127.4 ranked as the third-best of his career (133.6 vs. Atlanta, 10/17/10; 130.0 vs. Carolina, 9/11/11). Following last weeks performance, Kolb now has a 108.6 passer rating this season, which ranks as the third-best in the NFL behind only Atlantas Matt Ryan (114.0) and Pittsburghs Ben Roethlisberger (109.2).

A CONTINUED PROGRESSION
QB John Skelton won a preseason battle with Kevin Kolb to become the starting QB for the Cardinals in 2012. In doing so, he resumed the position that he held last season as he helped the Cards post their remarkable late season turnaround. The Cards won seven of their final nine and Skelton was under center for six of those wins. Skelton proved in his first two seasons in the NFL that he can win games for the Cardinals. After posting a 5-2 record as a starter in 2011, Skelton earned his eighth career victory (8-4) with the win over Seattle in the 12 opener. He also improved to 6-0 at home as a starting QB. Skelton became the first Cardinals QB of the Super Bowl era to win his first six home starts and he is the first NFL QB to do so since the 49ers Shaun Hill (7 straight wins, 2007-09). Playing under less than ideal circumstances in 2011, the second-year player out of Fordham took advantage of his opportunities when starter Kevin Kolb went down with injuries over the second half of the season. After helping the Cardinals recover from a 1-6 start to win seven of their final nine games, Skelton earned his way into the preseason battle for the starting QB spot. During the victory over Seattle in Week 1, Skelton completed 14 of 28 attempts for 149 yards against the Seahawks before a fourth quarter ankle injury knocked him out of the game. Skelton Career Snapshot x Has started 12 of the 14 games he has appeared in, completing 165 of 303 pass attempts for 2,724 yards, 13 TDs and 17 INTs. x Has an 8-4 record as a starter. x Has compiled a perfect 6-0 record at home.

The Cardinals have now won Kolbs last four starts, which doesnt include his Week 1 performance this season when he came off the bench in the fourth quarter to throw the game-winning TD pass against the Seahawks. Solid In The Last Five In the last five games in which he has appeared (all Arizona victories), Kolb has: 9 Completed 55 of 85 attempts (64.7%) for 677 yards, five TDs and no INTs 9 Has attempted 92 consecutive passes without throwing an INT, the third-best active streak in the NFL behind Blaine Gabbert (102) and Christian Ponder (98) 9 Has thrown two game-winning TD passes 9 Rushed for a game-winning five-yard TD against the Patriots Kolb Wins in Return To The Starting Lineup Since returning to the starting lineup, Kolb has led the Cardinals past Pro Bowl QBs Tom Brady and Michael Vick. x Making his first start since Week 14 of last season, Kolb led the Cardinals to their 20-18 victory over the New England Patriots two weeks ago having completed 15 of 27 pass attempts for 140 yards, a TD, no INTs and a passer rating of 82.3. He also posted 20 rushing yards and a TD, with his five-yard TD run in fourth quarter proving to be the games deciding score. x Kolbs five-yard rushing TD in the fourth quarter against the Pats marked the second rushing TD of his career and first since 9/27/09 vs. Kansas City. Kolb became the first Cardinals QB to rush for a TD since Kurt Warner scored from one yard out on 10/7/07 at St. Louis. Coach Whisenhunt on Kolb I know he was disappointed (not getting the starting job to begin the season) because he put a lot of time in, but I think when you look at a pro, and when we talk about what it takes to be a pro and having to be ready when its your time, the good ones are the ones who take advantage of that. Kevin has done that. He has played very well.
LINDLEY EARNS HIS SPOT

QB Ryan Lindley, selected by the Cardinals with their second selection of the sixth round (185th overall) in this years draft, earned a spot on the 53-man roster with an impressive training camp and preseason performance. Lindley performed so well in camp that head coach Ken Whisenhunt gave him the start in the teams final preseason matchup vs. Oakland. Playing the first half, Lindley completed 9 of 13 pass attempts (69%) for 101 yards, a TD and a passer rating of 117.8. Lindley was later forced back into action in the second half after an injury to Richard Bartel. The one thing that has been consistent is his poise and how hes handled himself, Whisenhunt said of his newest QB. Hes thrown the ball well and hes accurate. A four-year starter at San Diego State, Lindley established a school record with 49 consecutive starts. He also established Mountain West Conference career records for pass completions (961), pass attempts (1,732), passing yards (12,690), starts (49) and total plays (1,822).

CONTINUING WHERE HE LEFT OFF

If any Cardinals player exemplified Arizonas breakout success over the final nine games in 2011, it was WR Andre Roberts, who finished the season as one of the teams hottest players. Roberts has continued that hot streak into the 2012 season. With three receptions for 55 yards last week against the Eagles, Roberts now has nine receptions for 111 yards and two TDs on the season. With two receiving TDs through the first three games, Roberts has already tied his career-high for a single season. He posted two TDs in 15 games as a rookie in 2010 and had two TDs in 16 games last season. After hauling in two TD passes in his first 27 career games, Roberts has caught four TD passes in the last seven games. In 2011, Roberts started all 16 games and totaled 51 receptions for 586 yards and two TDs. Following a slow start over the seasons first seven contests, Roberts flashed the potential that caused the Cardinals to make him the highest draft pick out of the Citadel (3rd round, 88th overall) since 1970 (LB John Small, Atlanta, 1st round, 12th overall). During the final nine games last season, Roberts totaled 38 receptions for 453 yards and two TDs. Combined with his 11 receptions for 111 yards and two TDs this season, Roberts has totaled 47 receptions for 566 yards and four TDs in the last 12 games after collecting 37 receptions for 440 yards and two TDs in his first 22 career games.

MAKING THE FIRST ONE COUNT

WR Michael Floyd, the Cardinals first round selection (13th overall) in the 2012 NFL Draft, hauled in his first career reception against the Eagles last week when he caught a pass from Kevin Kolb in the first quarter that went for an eight-yard TD. The TD gave the Cardinals an early 10-0 lead at University of Phoenix Stadium. With the catch, Floyd became the first Cardinals player since RB Marcel Shipp (9/22/02 @ San Diego) to score a TD on their first career reception. It feels great, Floyd said of getting his first NFL reception. When you dont get a lot of balls thrown your way, you get frustrated, and I held in there and got the job done. The more Im in there, the more I feel comfortable. The more reps I get, the more comfortable Ill be.
HEAP KEEPS ON CLIMBING

When the Cardinals signed TE Todd Heap as a free agent in 2011, they brought home an Arizona native who attended Mountain View High School before starring at Arizona State. Prior to signing with Arizona, Heap spent 10 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, where he became one of the games best receiving TEs while earning two Pro Bowl selections. Back in Arizona, Heap has continued his march up the NFLs all-time list for receptions and receiving yards among TEs. With his 62 receiving yards against the Patriots in Week 2, th Heap passed Hall of Famer Mike Ditka and moved into 12 place on the NFLs all-time receiving yardage list for TEs. Heap enters this weeks game against Dolphins needing just four yards to pass Todd Christensen (5,872) for 11th place on the career list.

LOOKING FOR A REPEAT

RB Beanie Wells was in his third NFL season in 2011 and it was hailed as the year he would break out. After a preseason trade that sent Tim Hightower to the Redskins, Wells entered the season as the starter for the first time in his career. Despite injuries that forced him to miss two full games and most of a third last season, Wells still managed to run his way into the Cardinals record books as he made good on the promise he showed during his 2009 rookie campaign. Wells posted career-highs with 245 rushing attempts for 1,047 yards and 10 TDs in 2011. It marked the first 1,000-yard campaign for the back out of Ohio State and he became the first Cardinals player to rush for 1,000 yards in a season since Edgerrin James in 2007 (1,222). Wells became the ninth player in franchise history to record 1,000 yards rushing in a season and it marked the 14th 1,000yard season by a Cardinals back.

RYAN RUNS DOWN THE CLOCK

RB Ryan Williams had his best game as a pro last week against the Eagles, rushing 13 times for 83 yards and averaging 6.4 yards per attempt. Williams did the bulk of his work late in the game as he helped the Cardinals hold the ball for nearly 11 minutes in the fourth quarter. Williams carried the ball seven times for 62 yards in the fourth quarter against the Eagles, including a pair of long runs. Among those fourth quarter carries were a 25-yard run on 3rd-n-17 and an 11-yard run on 3rd-n-3 that kept Arizonas final FG drive going.
th The Cardinals second round selection (38 overall) in the 2011 NFL Draft, Williams made his NFL debut in Week 1 when he received the start vs. Seattle. Williams missed his entire rookie campaign with a ruptured patella tendon in his right knee, suffered in an August, 2011 preseason game at Green Bay.
Hes really a rookie because he had two games in the preseason last year and all hes had is this spring, head coach Ken Whisenhunt said of his RB. You are starting to see him grow up a little bit and make some runs. I think we can all see why we were so excited about Ryan being back with our team this year. Williams was the second running back selected in 2011, behind only former Alabama Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram (Saints). After redshirting in 2008, Williams played just two seasons at Virginia Tech, but needed just one year to prove how special a back he can be. He piled up a schoolrecord 1,655 yards rushing as a freshman in 2009, and tied Marshall Faulks NCAA freshman record with 21 TDs.
ALWAYS A THREAT
In the three-plus years since the Cardinals selected him in the seventh round (240th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft, RB LaRod Stephens-Howling has evolved as a threat in many ways. The 5-7 back went from one of the leagues most dangerous kickoff return men into his role last year as a threat to score from anywhere coming out of the backfield. Entering the 2011 season, Stephens-Howling had scored five career TDs in his first two NFL seasons, with three of those coming on kickoff returns spanning 102, 99 and 92 yards. In 2011, the third-year back expanded his game and made his biggest contributions out of the backfield, posting TD receptions of 73 and 52 yards, with the 52-yarder coming in OT during the Week 13 victory vs. Dallas. With the 73-yard TD reception against the Steelers in Week 7, Stephens-Howling became one of just seven players in franchise history with at least four TDs of 70+ yards.

His 39yard run in the first quarter was the longest run of his career.

BEANIE BREAKS RECORDS

No running back in team history had ever accomplished what RB Beanie Wells did last season. With 1,047 rushing yards and 10 rushing TDs in 2011, Wells became the first player in franchise history to record at least 1,000 yards rushing and 10 rushing TDs in a single season.

Wilsons first two extensions came on 12/22/04 and 6/4/09 and were both five-year deals. Wilson has appeared in 168 career games with Arizona. That ranks as the 10th highest games played total in franchise history. It also means that Wilson has played in more games as an Arizona Cardinal than any player in the teams history following the teams relocation to the Valley in 1988.

SS Adrian Wilson was inactive for last weeks game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to ankle/groin issues, snapping a streak of 61 consecutive starts. Entering the week, that was the second-longest active starts streak in the NFL among safeties behind Antoine Bethea (66). Including postseason action, Wilson had started 67 consecutive games before missing last weeks contest. Now in his 12th season with the Cardinals, last weeks game was just the 11th missed game of Wilsons career. It was his first missed game since Week 4 of the 2008 season when he sat out against the NY Jets (9/28) with a hamstring injury. Wilson played the entire 2011 season with a torn biceps muscle suffered in training camp.
FINDING THE QUARTERBACK

Wilson has been known throughout his career for his ability to get to the quarterback. During the 2005 season, he established an NFL single-season record for a defensive back with 8.0 sacks, a mark that still stands.

THE 20-20 MAN

Wilson has had a long list of individual accomplishments during his first 11 seasons with the Cardinals, including five 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 10th player in NFL history with at least 20 sacks and 20 interceptions.

RHODES STRIKES AGAIN

Perhaps no player on the Cardinals defense has played a more meaningful role in the last two games than FS Kerry Rhodes. A number of big plays by Rhodes have led directly to points for the Cardinals and have kept key points off the board for opponents. In Sundays game against Philadelphia, two huge plays by the Cards safety on the Eagles final drive of the first half led directly to a 14-point swing. Rhodes Makes Plays on Crucial Drive Before Halftime 9 On 1st-n-10 from the AZ 15-yard line, Vick hit WR DeSean Jackson over the middle for 14 yards before Rhodes came up and made an open field tackle that kept Jackson out of the end zone. 9 Three plays later, with the Eagles facing 3rd-n-1 and trying to cut into Arizonas 17-0 lead, Vick dropped back with six seconds remaining before halftime and Rhodes came off the edge to record a blindside sack of the QB that forced a fumble. S James Sanders recovered the fumble and returned it 93 yards for a TD and a 24-0 Arizona lead. In addition to his sack and forced fumble last week, Rhodes added four tackles and a pass defensed. It was his third pass defensed in two games, including two in the Week 2 win over New England that featured a knockdown of a Tom Brady pass intended for TE Rob Gronkowski on a potential game-tying 2point conversion attempt late in the fourth quarter. Rhodes has been an exciting player on the Cardinals defense since the team traded for him prior to the 2010 season. After five seasons with the Jets, Rhodes made an immediate impact in Arizona, posting a career-high 111 tackles and tying an NFL single-season record with two fumble returns for TDs. Rhodes has four sacks, four INTs and six fumble recoveries in 26 games for Arizona.

DOING IT ALL
Having electrified the NFL and solidified his status as one of the best return men in the league with his four 80+ yard punt return TDs as a rookie in 2011, Patrick Peterson has returned for his second NFL season and become a jack of all trades. Running The PatCat Petersons full skill set was on display in Week 2 at New England when he introduced his version of the Wildcat. On the Cards first offensive drive of the game vs. the Patriots, Peterson took a direct snap from center and ran 17 yards, helping set up a FG drive that gave Arizona an early 3-0 lead. His second Wildcat play came when he handed off to RB LaRod Stephens-Howling for a seven-yard gain. Dominating On Defense The work on offense didnt slow Peterson down on defense. In addition to picking off All-Pro QB Tom Brady on the Patriots first offensive play of the game, Peterson added three tackles and a tackle for loss against New England. The tackle for loss came at a pivotal time in the fourth quarter. With the Cardinals leading 20-9, Peterson stopped RB Stevan rd Ridley for a four-yard loss on 3 -n-1 from the AZ-39 yard line, forcing a Patriots punt and preserving the 11-point lead. Praise From His Coach Hes what we thought he was going to be, a very good defensive player that does a lot of other things for us, head coach Ken Whisenhunt said of Peterson following the win over New England. That the interception was a pretty big play. The run he made in the wildcat set was a pretty big play. We can probably name a lot of big plays that Patrick has made during his time. I think the things that you look for as a young player thats very good is leadership and consistency and toughness, and he has all of those.

KEEPING CAMPBELL IN THE CORE

Following a career year in 2011, DE Calais Campbell signed a new five-year contract on 5/10/12 that will keep the young, (turned 26 on Saturday, Sept. 1) core player around for the foreseeable future. Campbell made a strong case to be considered among the top young defensive linemen in the game with his performance last season. He totaled 73 tackles, a team-high 8.0 sacks, 11 tackles for loss, 16 QB hits, 11 passes defensed, an INT, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and three blocked FGs. His 11 passes defensed ranked as the fourth-best total on the team behind DBs Adrian Wilson (16), Patrick Peterson (13) and Richard Marshall (13) and with 8.0 sacks on the year, he has led or tied for the team lead in sacks in each of the last three seasons. His nine passes knocked down at the line of scrimmage led the NFL. Named the Cardinals 2011 NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year for his community work, Campbell was originally taken by Arizona in the second round (50th overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft out of Miami. He has played in 66 regular season games with 49 starts and recorded 227 tackles (164 solos), 23 sacks, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 20 passes defensed and an INT. He also has six career blocked field goals.
TAKING THE NEXT STEP

LB Daryl Washington had a breakout season last year in his second NFL campaign. The former TCU star led the team with 111 tackles and 16 tackles for loss, adding five sacks, two INTs and seven passes defensed. Washingtons 16 tackles for loss were the most for a Cards defender in a single season since DE Clyde Simmons posted 17 in 1995. The performance earned him a contract extensionsigned on September 6th with two years remaining on his rookie deal that keeps the budding superstar in Arizona for years to come. Looking back on the first three games of the 2012 season, it appears last seasons performance was just the tip of the iceberg for the rising star. The first three games of the 2012 have proven what a smart investment the team made. Washington posted a career-high 13 tackles in Week 2 at New England and a career-high two sacks last week vs. Philadelphia. With three sacks so far in 2012, Washington is one of only three NFL defenders who have recorded at least eight sacks and two INTs dating back to the 2011 season.

After posting a career-high 13 tackles in Week 2 at New England, Washington had at least 10 tackles in four consecutive games dating back to the final two games of the 2011 season.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK

DE Calais Campbell was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in the Cardinals Week 2 victory over the New England Patriots, becoming the first player in team history to win Player of the Week honors in two different categories. He was also chosen as the Special Teams Player of the Week following a week 2 victory against Jacksonville in 2009. It marked the first Defensive Player of the Week selection for Campbell as he became the 23rd different Cardinals defender to win the Defensive Player of the Week award and the first since Adrian Wilson in Week 1 of 2010. Campbell had two sacks, 10 tackles, two tackles for loss and three QB hits in the win. It was his third career game with double digit tackles and also his fourth career multi-sack game.
ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER MILESTONE

LB Daryl Washington continued his fast start to the 2012 season with another standout performance against the Eagles last week. After recording 10+ tackles in each of the teams first two games, including a career-high 13 tackles against the Patriots in Week 2, Washington finished Sundays game with six tackles, a career-high two sacks, three QB hits, two tackles for loss and a pass defensed against Philadelphia. Through the first three games this season, Washington now has team-highs with 29 tackles and 3.0 sacks to go along with two passes defensed and three tackles for loss.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT
LB Daryl Washington and DE Calais Campbell both signed new contracts with the Cardinals recently and are going to be in Arizona for many years to come. The duos play so far this seasonparticularly in back-to-back wins against the defending AFC Champion Patriots and the Philadelphia Eaglesshows exactly how smart of an investment that was. Campbell came up with one of the finest games of his young career in New England, collecting 10 tackles, two sacks, two tackles for loss and three QB hits in a performance that earned him NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. It was the Campbells third career game with double digit tackles and first since a 10 tackle performance at Seattle on 9/25/11. Washington posted a career-high 13 tackles, a tackle for loss and a pass defensed. He followed that up last week by establishing a career high with two sacks, to go along with six tackles, two tackles for loss and a pass defensed. Below is a look at the production that the Cardinals two most recently re-signed players provided during the last two victories for Arizona.

Chasing Down a Block Washingtons impact on the biggest play of the win vs. Philly last week doesnt appear on the stat sheet but it was pivotal in Arizona taking a 24-0 lead into halftime. On James Sanders 93-yard fumble return TD, Washington trailed both the play going the other way and Eagle RB LeSean McCoy who was chasing down Sanders for a TD saving tackle. Washington chased the play from behind, caught up and got a key block on McCoy that provided Sanders a clear path to the end zone. Thats why we traded up for him, Whisenhunt said of LBs speed and playmaking ability. We had him targeted as a guy we really liked, and we made the move up in the draft to get him because we thought he was a good fit for our defense. The speed was something that was very apparent. Signing him to an extension is looking better and better every week.

NOBODY BETTER
Choosing which Cardinals defender has gotten off to the best start through the first three games this season would be a hard choice to make, but selecting All-Pro DT Darnell Dockett would be a safe one. After totaling five tackles and three QB hits while providing a disruptive presence in the Seahawks backfield in Week 1, Dockett turned in another outstanding outing in New England, totaling four tackles, a pass defensed and a QB pressure. His pass defensed came when he deflected a pass on the Patriots first offensive play of the game that was intercepted by CB Patrick Peterson. Dating back to 2004, no player at his position has appeared in more games (130) than Dockett. He has started 129 of 130 career games and has missed just one contest in his first eight seasons. The only game he missed came on 11/14/10 vs. Seattle when a shoulder injury held him out, snapping a streak of 104 consecutive games played. Dockett has led the NFL in sacks among DTs twice in his career, recording 9.0 sacks in 2007 and 7.0 sacks in 2009.

A YOUTH MOVEMENT AT LINEBACKER

The Cardinals have a roster filled with young talent, and one place where that is particularly evident is at linebacker. With Sam Acho, OBrien Schofield and Daryl Washington all filling starting roles in 2012, the Cardinals have a LB corps that should serve as a foundation of the defense for years to come.

Daryl Washington The most seasoned of the Cards three young LBs, Washington is in his third season, after Arizona traded up to get him in the second round (47th overall) of the 2010 Draft. A starter from day one of his NFL career, Washington has a team-high 29 tackles, three sacks, two tackles for loss and two passes defensed. Sam Acho After being selected by the Cardinals in the fourth round (103rd overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft, Acho played like a first round pick after moving into the starting role last season. He finished second on the team with 7.0 sacks as a rookie and also added a team-high four forced fumbles. He put a huge hit on Seattle RB Marshawn Lynch on a backwards pass which forced a fumble that Arizona recovered and posted his first sack of the season in Week 2 at New England. He had a forced fumble, two QB pressures and three tackles last week vs. Philly. OBrien Schofield Now in his third NFL season, Schofield came into his own during the second half of last season. He finished the year with a career-high 4.5 sacks. Schofield posted one of the best games of his young career last week against the Eagles, totaling six tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss and two QB pressures. The three LBs have combined to total 48 tackles, five sacks, six tackles for loss in the first three games of the 2012 season.
A FAST START FOR LENON

LB Paris Lenon posted the first multi-sack game of his 11-year career in Week 1 vs. Seattle. He tallied sacks in the first and fourth quarters against the Seahawks, to go along with six tackles, two tackles for loss, two QB hits and a fumble recovery. Lenon was one of 10 players to record at least two sacks in week one and the following week in New England, Lenon continued his hot start to the 2012 season by recording nine tackles. Through three games, Lenon has 18 tackles, 2.0 sacks, two tackles for loss, two QB hits and a fumble recovery. Prior to 2011, when he established a career-high with three sacks, Lenon had never posted more than two sacks in a season. After totaling five sacks in his first eight seasons (127 games), Lenon has seven sacks in just 35 games with Arizona.

ANOTHER SACK FOR GROVES

LB Quentin Groves continued his career resurgence with another solid outing against the Eagles last week, recording two tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss and two QB hits. That performance came after Groves recorded a sack and blocked a punt in the Cardinals 20-18 win over New England in Week 2. His sack against New England was his first sack since his rookie season in 2008 with Jacksonville. After recording 2.5 sacks in his first four NFL seasons, he now has two sacks in three games with Arizona, including sacks in back-to-back games for the first time in his career.

Game 1 CARDINALS 20, Seahawks 16 September 9, 2012 University of Phoenix Stadium (60,032)
The Cardinals earned a hard-fought week 1 victory by relying on a stout defense and resilient offense. Despite taking over in some tough spots following turnovers and long kick returns, the AZ defense was strong and allowed just one TD in 70 plays. It helped keep the game close, especially as the offense struggled to find nd its rhythm in the 2 half. However, that offense produced when it needed to most and under some very adverse conditions. Starter John Skelton, who had won the job in preseason, was knocked from the game with an ankle injury with just over 8 minutes to play. In came Kevin Kolb with the Cards down 3. He proved more than capable and led the go-ahead TD drive. After that, the Cards defense had to turn away one last Seattle threat in a furious and controversial finish. Seattles game-opening drive ended when Steven Hauschkas 50-yard FG try was blocked by Calais th Campbell, the 6 of his career. However 2 plays later RB Ryan Williams fumbled it back to SEA at the AZ42, setting up a 27-yard FG. The Cards answered with a 13-play, 75-yard drive that reached the 3 & tied it with a 21-yard Jay Feely FG. WR Andre Roberts keyed the effort with a 15-yard reverse and 2-26 receiving. AZ took the lead on its next drive when LaRod Stephens-Howling scored from a yard out to make it 10-3. rd The Cards took advantage of a Paris Lenon fumble recovery and went up 10 early in the 3 thanks to a 31-yard Feely FG. That lead would soon disappear as Seattle scored 13 straight. Leon Washingtons 83-yard KOR set-up a 10-yard Russell Wilson TD pass to Sidney Rice. On the next play from scrimmage Skelton tried to throw it away but was INTd on the sideline at the AZ34 by CB Richard Sherman. The Cards D forced Seattle to settle for a 47-yard game-tying FG. After a 3-n-out by AZ, Washington returned the ensuing punt 52 yards to the AZ16. Despite being handed another short field, the defense again answered and Seattle had to settle for a 39-yard FG after netting minus-5 yards in 3 plays. Trailing 16-13, a Skelton-to-Roberts pass gave st nd AZ its first 1 down of the 2 half with 8:18 to play. However, Skelton injured his ankle on the play and Kolb entered. Despite no reps during the week & little warm-up he crisply operated the hurry-up offense and moved nd the Cards to the SEA6. On 2 -n-goal from there, he hit Roberts for the go-ahead TD. On the drive he was 6-8 passing for 66 yards and a TD. The Cards defense would then have to answer one more time. Seattle took over at its own 20 with 4:58 to play and 2 timeouts. With :52 to play they had advanced to the AZ13. From there the Seahawks would run 13 more plays and be given an extra timeout due to an officiating error amidst th great confusion. However, they would not find the end zone and when Wilsons 4 -n-goal pass from the 4 fell incomplete, Arizona emerged with the victory. SEAHAWKS 3 0 10 3 16 CARDINALS 3 7 3 7 20 Team Qtr.

Game 2 CARDINALS 20, Patriots 18 September 16, 2012 University of Gillette Stadium (68,756)
To say few gave the Cardinals a chance against the defending AFC champs would be an understatement. The heavily favored Pats were 10-0 in home openers at Gillette Stadium and QB Tom Brady had won 35 of his last 36 home starts. But an incredible defensive effort along with key plays from the offense & special teams gave AZ a late lead. That lead was in peril after a seemingly disastrous fumble deep in AZ territory with 1:10 left. However the Pats go-ahead FG try with :01 missed left and the Cards moved to 2-0 with the victory. The D held NEs offense under 20 points and sacked Brady 4 times. The offense was led by QB Kevin Kolb who started in place of John Skelton (ankle) and threw 1 TD while running for another. On the games first drive AZ moved 60 yards in 13 plays and got on the board with a 38-yard Jay Feely FG. On NEs first play DT Darnell Dockett tipped a Brady pass at the line and CB Patrick Peterson made a diving INT at the NE36. That led to a 47-yard Feely FG and a 6-0 AZ lead. On the ensuing drive the Pats nd moved to the AZ28 but no further and Stephen Gostkowskis 46-yard FG made it 6-3. Early in the 2 quarter RB Stevan Ridley (4-31) helped NE advance to the AZ11. However the defense held them to just a FG and rd the game was tied on Gostkowskis 34-yarder. On the next AZ drive Kolb scrambled on 3 -n-6 but fumbled and the Pats recovered at the NE48. The Cardinals D again answered in a big way, sacking Brady on 2 of the next 3 plays with takedowns nd LBs Sam Acho (-10) and Quentin Groves (-7) forcing a key 3-n-out. by On the first play of the 2 half, Brady connected with WR Wes Welker on a 36-yard pass to the AZ44 but the Pats got just 11 more after that and Gostkowskis 50-yard FG gave them a 9-6 lead. Their next drive started at their own 10 and the Cards D forced a 3-n-out. Quentin Groves then broke through to block the Zoltan Mesko punt which went out at the NE2. Three plays later, Kolb hit WR Andre Roberts for the go-ahead rd TD. The key play of the next drive came on 3 -n-6 at the AZ30 when Dockett blew up RB Danny Woodhead for a 9-yard loss and forced a punt instead of FG try. Kolb then led a gritty 9-play, 75-yard drive and capped it with a 5-yard TD run up the middle. Pivotal were completions of 11 & 28 to TE Todd Heap and WR Early rd Doucet absorbing a big hit to make a 9-yard catch on 3 -n-6. The Cards held that 20-9 lead until Gostkowskis 53-yard FG cut the lead to 8 with 6:45 left. On their next drive, Brady completed an 11-play, 82-yard drive with a 5-yard TD to TE Rob Gronkowski but Kerry Rhodes broke up the pass on the 2-point try preserving a 20-18 st AZ lead. With 2:06 left the Cards took over at their own 20. They picked up a 1 down and with 1:10 left faced rd 3 -n-13 at the NE35 when RB Ryan Williams fumbled and Vince Wilfork recovered at the AZ30. An apparent 30-yard Woodhead TD run was called back on a Gronkowski hold leading NE to play for a go-ahead FG. However, Gostkowskis 42-yard try missed wide left with one tick on the clock.

Game 3 CARDINALS 27, Eagles 6 September 23, 2012 University of Phoenix Stadium (60,436)
In a match-up of 2-0 teams, the Cardinals faced a Philly offense that entered the game ranked #1 in the NFL. But a swarming & relentless defensive effort battered Michael Vick all afternoon, sacking him 5 times and pressuring him much more frequently than that. With defensive captain and All-Pro SS Adrian Wilson out (ankle/groin) others stepped up including LB Daryl Washington (2 sacks) and FS Kerry Rhodes, who provided st an enormous momentum swing with a series of key plays at the end of the 1 half. Three key Eagles turnovers (none for AZ) were also pivotal as was an efficient Cards offense. Ex-Eagle QB Kevin Kolb again started and turned in another strong performance. His top target was WR Larry Fitzgerald who topped 100 st yards in the 1 half and finished 9-114-1TD receiving. He also notched career catch #700 and became the fastest NFL player to reach that mark by over a year. All of it added up to a 21-point Cards victory that gave st them their 1 3-0 start since 1974. With it they extended their home win streak to 7 games, 2 short of the franchise record set in 1925. After sending the Eagles 3-n-out on the games initial series, Kolb led an 8-play, 36-yard drive that ended with Jay Feelys 47-yard FG and a 3-0 lead. AZs next drive ended with a punt but Anthony Sherman forced a rd Damaris Johnson fumble that LS Mike Leach recovered at the PHI38. On 3 -n-goal from the 8, Kolb fired a st pass between a pair of Eagle defenders that defelected right to WR Michael Floyd for the rookies 1 reception & TD. The ensuing Eagles drive reached the AZ36 but LB Sam Acho ended it by sacking Vick, forcing a nd fumble DT Dan Williams recovered. Midway thru the 2 quarter, Kolb connected with Fitzgerald down the middle on a 37-yard TD pass that made it 17-0. Just before intermission the Eagles penetrated deep into AZ territory and appeared poised to cut into the lead heading into the locker room. Vick hit DeSean Jackson with a 14-yard pass to the 1 but FS Kerry Rhodes stood him there to keep him out of the end zone. Incompletions st nd rd on 1 and 2 downs set up a 3 -n-goal from the 1 with :06 left. Vick dropped back but Rhodes hit him on a blindside blitz forcing a fumble that S James Sanders scooped up. He followed an envoy of teammates down the left sideline for a 93-yard score as time expired. That 14-point swing put the Cards up 24-0 when it appeared that the Eagles would pull to within 10. nd rd a In the 2 half, Arizona was content to work the clock and the only 3 quarter scoring came on th pair of Alex Henery FGs as the Cardinals D continued to relentlessly harass Vick and the Eagles. In the 4 quarter AZ played keep-away and RB Ryan Williams kept the clock and sticks moving with determined running. Feelys 27-yard FG with 3:52 remaining provided the games final points.
