PROMOTING AWARENESS
The 2012 season marks the fourth year of the NFLs A Crucial Catch Campaign in partnership with the American Cancer Society (ACS).

In the first three years of the campaign, A Crucial Catch raised more than $3 million for ACS, with the majority of the donations coming through the sale of pink items at retail and on NFL Auction. Beginning this year, money raised through A Crucial Catch will support the American Cancer Societys Community Health Advocates National Grants for Empowerment (CHANGE) program. This program provides outreach and breast cancer screenings to women in cities that have the lowest screening rates and highest mortality rates in the country. In Week 6 when the team hosts the Buffalo Bills, the Cardinals will join the other NFL clubs playing at home in recognizing breast cancer awareness in various ways on the field and throughout the stadium. Cardinals players, coaches and staff members will all wear pink gear in honor of the campaign and all items worn by Cardinals players during the game will be auctioned off at www.nfl.com/auction to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. League-wide, the NFL will be helping to bring breast cancer awareness to the forefront in a variety of ways throughout the month of October. The efforts, which will be showcased at next weeks Cards game, include: x Game balls with pink ribbon decals used for every down and pink kicking tees x Players wearing pink cleats, wristbands, gloves, chin straps, sideline caps, helmet decals, eye shield decals, captains patches, sideline towels and quarterback towels x Pink coins used for the coin toss x Pink sideline caps for coaches and sideline personnel and pink ribbon pins for coaches and team executives x Officials wearing caps with pink ribbons, pink wristbands and pins and using pink whistles x On-field pink ribbon stencils and A Crucial Catch wall banners x Pink goal post padding in both end zones x Pink pom poms, wristbands and t-shirts for cheerleaders

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. A native of Houston, Graves is in his 16th 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. Other rising stars recently identified and brought in by Graves include DE Calais Campbell, LBs Daryl Washington and Sam Acho, RBs Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams, WR Andre Roberts and QB John Skelton. Of the 22 Cardinals starters that began the season against Seattle, 13 were draft choices of the team during Graves tenure while one other starter (C Lyle Sendlein) joined the team as an undrafted rookie free agent. The Cardinals top four draft picks in the 2010 NFL Draft are all listed starters for the Cardinals in just their third season.

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.

BREAKING OUT
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. He had the biggest game of his NFL career against the Dolphins last week, establishing numerous career marks in a continuation of the breakout season he is experiencing in 2012. The thirdyear receiver set career single-game highs with 118 receiving yards and two receiving TDs while he tied his career high with six receptions. With two TD receptions against Miami, Roberts now has a career high four TD receptions on the season, despite having played just four games. He had two TD receptions in 15 games as a rookie in 2010 and two TD receptions in 16 games last season. Roberts now has six TDs in his last eight games dating back to last season. He totaled two TD receptions in his first 27 career games. When he hauled in his 15-yard reception on fourth down with just over 20 seconds remaining in regulation against Miami, Roberts grabbed his third game-winning TD reception in his last eight 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). Combined with his 15 receptions for 229 yards and four TDs this season, Roberts has totaled 53 receptions for 684 yards and six TDs in the last 13 games after collecting 37 receptions for 440 yards and two TDs in his first 22 career games.

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).
ON THE CUSP
RB LaRod Stephens-Howling recorded 145 kickoff returns for 3,662 yards and three TDs during his first three seasons in the NFL. In doing so, he put himself into position to cement his place as one of the best return men in team history during the 2012 season. He has inched closer to the franchise honors so far this season. Stephens-Howlings 148 returns rank as the fourth-best total in franchise history while his 3,728 return yards rank third and his three TDs rank second. After the first four games of 2012, he needs 30 returns to become the franchise all-time leader in that category.

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 Ridley for a four-yard loss on 3rd-n-1 from the AZ-39 yard line, forcing a Patriots punt and preserving the 11-point lead.

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 three consecutive wins against the defending AFC Champion Patriots, the Eagles and the Dolphinsshows 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 the next two weeks by tacking on two sacks, to go along with 11 tackles, two tackles for loss, a pass defensed and a forced fumble.

NOBODY BETTER
Choosing which Cardinals defender has gotten off to the best start through the first three games this season would have been a hard choice to make, but selecting All-Pro DT Darnell Dockett would have been 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. Dockett was forced out of the Week 3 matchup with a hamstring injury, an injury that forced him to miss last weeks game against Miami. It was just the second missed game of Docketts career, with the only other game coming on 11/14/10 vs. Seattle when a shoulder injury held him out, snapping a streak of 104 consecutive games played. Despite having to sit out last weeks win over the Dolphins, no player at his position has appeared in more games (130) than Dockett dating back to 2004. He has started 129 of 130 career games. 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. Dating back to 2007, no DT in the NFL has more sacks than Docketts 28.5.

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 34 tackles, three sacks, two tackles for loss and a forced fumble. 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. Has a sack in three consecutive games this season and in five of his last six contests. OBrien Schofield Now in his third season, Schofield came into his own during the second half of last season. He finished the year with a careerhigh 4.5 sacks. Schofield posted one of the best games of his young career in Week 3 against the Eagles, totaling six tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss and two QB pressures. He followed up with four tackles and a sack last week against Miami. The three have combined to total 60 tackles, eight sacks, and nine tackles for loss in the first four games of the 2012 season.
A former postal service employee and the only former XFL player still active in the NFL, Lenon entered the league in 2000 with Carolina as a rookie free agent out of Richmond.

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.

Game 4 CARDINALS 24, Dolphins 21 (OT) September 30, 2012 University of Phoenix Stadium (60,183)
The Cardinals improved to 4-0 for the first time since opening 1974 with 7 straight wins. But it was certainly not easy. Against a tough Miami squad they trailed 13-0 at the half and by 7 in the final minutes when they were twice down to their final play. But despite a sizable statistical disparity, AZ delivered when it was most needed. Many of the key plays were delivered by WR Andre Roberts who had a career-best 118 th yards & 2 TDs on 6 catches. He was instrumental in giving Cards their 8 straight home win (5 in OT) as well th as the 500 victory in franchise history. Led by rookie QB Ryan Tannehill (431 passing yards) & WR Brian Hartline (club-record 253 yards), the Dolphins finished with a 480-297 edge in total net yards. They led 13-0 at half on two Dan Carpenter FGs th sandwiched between and 1-yard Jorvorskie Lane TD plunge on 4 -n-goal. They missed a chance to extend it on the initial drive of the 2 half when Carpenter missed from 51. The AZ offense then found the end zone when rd Kevin Kolb hit Larry Fitzgerald on 3 -n-goal from the 3 to cap an 8-play, 53-yard drive. It remained 13-7 until th the 4 when the Cards took over at their own 19 with 11:12 to play. A 33-yard pass to TE Rob Housler moved it to the MIA46 and from there Kolb & Roberts connected on a scoring strike that made it 14-13 AZ. It then got interesting. Tannehill hit Legedu Naanee with a completion to the AZ 19 but the WR fumbled and CB Patrick Peterson returned it 60 yards to the MIA3. Two plays later though, Kolb looked for Fitzgerald just inside the right pylon but CB Sean Smith picked it off in the end zone. On the next snap, Tannehill hit a wide open Hartline for an 80-yard score than put Miami back up 7 after the 2-point conversion. Things later looked quite bleak when the Dolphins had the ball at the AZ41 with 3:00 to go. But LB Daryl Washington came up huge, bursting through the middle to sack Tannehill and force a fumble that DE Vonnie Holliday recovered at the rd AZ49. The Cards had new life but it was imperiled when Kolb was sacked on the next 2 plays setting up a 3 th n-18 at the AZ41. Back-to-back completions to Roberts - a 16-yarder followed by a 9-yarder on 4 -n-2 - kept th alive a drive that reached the 15 with :42 left. After 3 incompletions, the Cards faced a 4 -n-10 from the 15 with :29 left. Kolb again found Roberts just inside the end zone sending the game to OT. AZ got the ball first in st rd the extra period but went 3-n-out. Miami picked up a 1 down, but on 3 -n-6 from their own 38 Paris Lenon pressured Tannehill leading to a Kerry Rhodes INT that set AZ up at the MIA47. The Cards moved to the 28 th where Jay Feely notched his 6 career OT FG from 46 yards out. DOLPHINS CARDINALS Team Qtr.
