ARIZONA CARDINALS (1-4)

vs.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS (4-2)

University of Phoenix Stadium

THIS WEEK’S GAME The Cardinals return from their bye week looking for a much-needed win when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers at University of Phoenix Stadium in a rematch of Super Bowl XLIII. After opening the season with a home win over Carolina, Arizona has dropped four straight contests.

Before its week six bye, Arizona fell to the Vikings 34-10 in Minnesota. The Vikings jumped out to a 28-0 lead in the first quarter benefitting from excellent field position and costly AZ turnovers. Minnesota started three of those drives inside the Cards 25-yard line. Despite allowing just two field goals over the final three quarters, the early deficit proved too much to overcome. The Cardinals lone TD of the game came courtesy of RB Beanie Wells’ 2-yard run in the third quarter. It marked Wells’ sixth TD run of the season and fourth-consecutive game with a rushing TD, tying the second-longest streak in franchise history.

Pittsburgh is coming off a 17-13 home victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, giving the Steelers two straight wins and four in their last five games. Pittsburgh jumped to a 17-0 lead midway through the second quarter but the Jaguars mounted a rally that fell short when the clock ran out on their final drive in Pittsburgh territory. RB Rashard Mendenhall led the way with 146 rushing yards and a TD on 23 carries, posting the highest rushing yardage total in the NFL in week six.

The Cardinals are back on the road next week as they travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens. It marks the first of four road games over the next five weeks for Arizona. Pittsburgh returns home to face New England.

CARDINALS VS. STEELERS – LAST REGULAR SEASON MEETING CARDINALS 21, Steelers 14

September 30, 2007 – University of Phoenix Stadium – (64,844)The Cardinals scored 21 second half points against the NFL’s #2 ranked defense to upset the previously unbeaten Steelers and move to 2-2. The Arizona sideline featured many with ties to Western PA and the Steelers, most notably head coach Ken Whisenhunt and top assistant Russ Grimm who were once Steeler assistants. Playing without Pro Bowl WR Anquan Boldin, the Cardinals relied on Larry Fitzgerald (10-120 receiving) and a QB rotation of Matt Leinart & Kurt Warner. Defensively, they limited league-leading RB Willie Parker to 37 yards on 19 carries while halting his 100-yard game streak at 4. They also picked off Ben Roethlisberger twice and forced punts on 7 of Pittsburgh’s 9 other drives. From the outset, it was clear it would be a hard-hitting affair and points would be hard to come by. Pittsburgh notched the game’s first score late in the opening quarter when Roethlisberger hit WR Santonio Holmes with a 43-yard TD pass on a 3rd-n-26 play. None of the next 7 Steeler drives, however, produced points and ended in punts (6) and an INT (1). While Leinart QB’d the first 3 drives, Warner entered with 4:56 to go in the 2nd quarter to run the no-huddle as he had the week before in Baltimore. On the 2nd play of the series he hit Larry Fitzgerald with a 20-yard pass to the PIT37 but the WR fumbled at the end of the play and S Troy Polamalu returned the recovery to midfield. The AZ defense answered and DT Darnell Dockett recorded the 2nd of his 3.0 sacks on the day to force a punt. Warner & Co. ran the 2:00 offense well enough to yield a FG try but Neil Rackers’ 52-yarder was wide left as the half expired. On Arizona’s opening drive of the 3rd quarter, Warner led a 9-play, 70-yard drive on which he was 6-7 passing for 45 yards (4-28 to Fitzgerald) and capped it with a 6-yard pass to WR Jerheme Urban, who saw extended action in Boldin’s absence. With the game tied at 7 late in the 3rd, the Cards gave Pittsburgh a golden opportunity when Warner mishandled a shotgun snap and the Steelers recovered at the AZ4. After stopping Parker on the first two downs, S Adrian Wilson halted the threat by stepping in front of TE Heath Miller in the endzone and recording the INT. The game was still tied early in the 4th when rookie Steve Breaston fielded a Steelers punt at the AZ27 and took it 73 yards for Arizona’s first punt return TD since 1993. Leading 14-7, the Cards D forced another Pittsburgh punt and when the offense took over at its own 18 with 11:33 left it was with Leinart back at QB. On his first snap he hit Fitzgerald on a 38-yard pass to the PIT44 and despite leaving for 1 play after a violent but unpenalized hit, engineered a long (13-82, 7:19) drive that ended with a 2-yard Edgerrin James run that made it 21-7. James was 7-20 on the drive and Leinart was 3-4-56 passing but his biggest play may have been with his legs. Facing a 4th-n-1 at the PIT24, the Cards passed on a FG try that could have made it a 10-point game and Leinart picked up the 1st down on a sneak. Roethlisberger then made it a one score game on the next drive when he hit Holmes with a 7-yard TD pass with 1:54 but Fitzgerald recovered the ensuing onside kick and that, along with a Ralph Brown INT 89 second later sealed the win.

A SHARED HISTORY �

Both the Cardinals and Steelers have a rich history in the National Football League, a history made richer after the two teams faced off in Super Bowl XLIII. The Cardinals are the oldest continuously run professional football franchise and the Steelers are the fifth-oldest. The patriarchs of both football families – Charles Bidwilland Art Rooney – are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Currently both families have third generation leadership with Art Rooney II and Michael Bidwillfollowing in the footsteps of their fathers Dan and Bill. Because of the man-power shortage during World War II, the teams merged in 1944 to form Card-Pitt. Co-coached by the Cardinals' Phil Handler and the Steelers' Walt Kiesling, a former Cardinal guard, the team split its home games between Comiskey Park and Forbes Field. �

Over the years, the two families have enjoyed a strong professional and personal relationship. Because of the unique history between the two teams, Cardinals President Michael Bidwill wanted the Rooneys and the Steelers to be part of the historic opening of the University of Phoenix Stadium in 2006. The two teams met in the preseason in the first-ever game at the Cards new stadium.


THE LAST GAMEVikings 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 34-10 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 28-0. 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 no-huddle 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 28-10. 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. The win was the Vikings 7th straight over the Cards in Minnesota, a place in which the Cardinals last won in 1977. � CARDINALS 0 3 7 0 10 VIKINGS 28 0 3 3 34 Team Qtr.

SUPER BOWL RETURNS TO ARIZONA Last week, following a very competitive bidding process, NFL owners awarded Super Bowl XLIX to Arizona. 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 Bidwillsaid of the Arizona bid that beat out a bid from the Tampa/Orlando area.

Super Bowl XLIX will be the third Super Bowl played in Arizona and the second one at University of Phoenix Stadium. The Cardinals home stadium 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 27-17.

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.

A LEGEND RETURNS For the first time since the 2007 season, Cardinals All-Pro lineman and Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Dierdof will be at University of Phoenix Stadium this weekend as a color analyst with CBS working alongside play-by-play man Greg Gumbel. This week’s game marks the fifth Cardinals game Dierdorf has called since the team has been in Arizona. The Cards won both games the former player called from the announcers booth during the 2007 season, defeating Pittsburgh 21-14 (9/30) and Cleveland 27-21 (12/2). A second-round pick (43rd overall) in 1971, Dierdorf spent his entire Hall of Fame career with the Cardinals (1971-1983). He played primarily at right tackle, where he anchored an offensive line that led the NFL three years and the NFC five years in fewest quarterback sacks allowed. Dierdorf was a five-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler who was named Best Blocker three times by the NFL Players Association. He was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his hometown of Canton, OH in 1996. In 2006, Dierdorf was inducted into the Cardinals Ring of Honor, and he is one of just 13 players to ever receive the honor.


THE MAN AT THE TOP WR Larry Fitzgerald holds virtually every Cardinals receiving record. So far this season, Fitzgerald has become the franchise all-time leader in receiving yards, receiving TDs and career 100-yard games. Those records came after he became the franchise all-time receptions leader in 2010.

At just 28 years old and fresh off signing a new eight-year contract prior to the 2011 season, Fitzgerald has plenty of time to add to his franchise receiving records. Judging by the pace at which he has racked up 636 receptions and 8,565 receiving yards in his career so far, Fitzgerald should leave the records at near unbreakable levels by the time he is finished. He has been historically good at piling up both receptions and receiving yards throughout his career. 8,000 Receiving Yards � Fitzgerald’s 125 receiving yards in Week 15 matchup vs. the Panthers in ‘10 gave him 8,053 for his career as he became the second youngest receiver in NFL history to reach 8,000, trailing only Randy Moss (26 years, 297 days old).

7,000 Receiving Yards � Against the Lions in Week 15 of 2009, Fitzgerald reached 7,000 receiving yards for his career. At 26 years, 111 days old, he became the youngest player in NFL history to reach the career milestone, surpassing the previous record held by Randy Moss (26 years, 220 days old).

6,000 Receiving Yards � Reached 6,000 career receiving yards at 26 years and, 13 days old, becoming the second-youngest receiver in NFL history to reach the milestone behind only Randy Moss (25 years, 270 days).

600 Receptions � In week 15 of the ’10 season at Carolina, Fitzgerald surpassed 600 receptions for his career and at 27 years, 110 days old, became the youngest player in NFL history to reach the milestone. He surpassed the previous record of Randy Moss, who reached 600 career receptions at 28 years, 266 days old.

500 Receptions � Fitzgerald became the youngest player in NFL history to record 500 career receptions, reaching the milestone at 26 years, 90 days old, breaking the previous mark held by Randy Moss (26 years, 297 days old).

THE TRIFECTA WR Larry Fitzgerald is the 19th player to lead a franchise in all three major receiving categories for a career (receptions, yards and TDs) and he is one of only five of those players still active. Of those five, Fitzgerald is one of three that is currently with the team for which they hold the receiving records. TE Tony Gonzalez (Atlanta) and WR Chad Ochocinco (New England) are with different teams.

A CARDINAL FOR LIFE On August 21, WR Larry Fitzgerald and the Cardinals agreed to an eight-year contract that virtually ensures that one of the most electrifying players in franchise history retires with the team.

Originally taken with the third overall selection in the 2004 NFL Draft, the eight-year agreement marks the third contract Fitzgerald has signed with the Cards and will keep him with the team at least through the 2018 season. “Larry has been one of the most dynamic, if not the most dynamic, player in Cardinals history and one of the most dynamic in the NFL,” team President Michael Bidwill said of his star WR. “It has been an honor that he has been playing for us since we drafted him in the first round in 2004. He has been such a big part of our success. We are excited about what the future holds, not only for Larry and for the Cardinals, but also to see him retire as a Cardinal someday—but hopefully not any time soon.” “I just want to thank the Bidwill family for how they have taken me in over the years,” Fitzgerald said. “I feel like I am one of the family. The day I was drafted and was able to shake Mr. Bidwill’s hand on that podium, I knew this is where I wanted to be.”

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF 90 In 2010, WR Larry Fitzgerald posted 90 receptions for the season, becoming the first player in NFL history to record 90+ receptions five times in their first seven seasons.

If he reaches 90 receptions again in 2011, Fitzgerald will join Torry Holt (6) and Marvin Harrison (5) as the only receivers with at least five consecutive 90-catch campaigns.

A CAUSE CLOSE TO HIS HEART For All-Pro WR Larry Fitzgerald, who lost his mother, Carol, to breast cancer in 2003, raising awareness for breast cancer research is a very personal resolution. That is why, in honor of the NFL’s “A Crucial Catch” campaign, Fitzgerald is serving as a spokesman for the league-wide initiative for the second consecutive year. In 2010, Fitzgerald pledged to donate $1,000 for every catch and an additional $5,000 for every TD he made in the month of October to breast cancer awareness. Fitzgerald finished the month with 23 receptions and two TDs, with his donation to breast cancer research amounting to $33,000.

For the 2011 season, Fitzgerald has pledged $1,000 for every catch and $10,000 for every TD reception in October to breast cancer research. He has hauled in 12 receptions in two games played in October so far this season.In honor of his mother, Fitzgerald has long been a supporter of breast cancer research and awareness. He started the Carol Fitzgerald Memorial fund, which helps to educate on breast cancer issues, along with raising awareness for HIV/AIDS among urban youth. After earning a trip to the Pro Bowl following the 2010 season, Fitzgerald rewarded two breast cancer survivors—Liz Dodson and Maureen Hanna, with trips to accompany him to Hawaii.

EARLY PRODUCTION In 2011, WR Early Doucet is off to the best start of his career, having caught 21 passes for 309 yards (14.7 avg.) and a TD in the first five games, including a 70-yard TD reception in week one vs. Carolina. His 105 receiving yards vs. the Panthers marked the first 100-yard game of his career.

During his first three years in the NFL, Doucet’s best season came in 2010, when he appeared in 10 games and totaled 26 receptions for 291 yards and a TD. After posting eight receptions for 92 yards in week five at Minnesota, Doucet established a new career-high in receiving yards with 309 on the season. He now needs just six receptions to establish a career-high in that category as well.

Doucet has been particularly good on third down this season. Of his 21 receptions, 13 have come on third down and 10 have resulted in first downs (including the TD). Despite the bye last week, Doucet’s 13 receptions on third down are the second most in the NFL (Darren Sproles, 14), while his 214 receiving yards on third down also rank second (Mike Wallace, 228).

BREAKOUT SEASON CONTINUES Now in his third NFL season, RB Beanie Wells is off to the best start of his career, having totaled 79 carries for 381 yards and six TDs this season despite, despite missing the week three contest in Seattle with a hamstring injury.

Wells posted the best game of his career in week four against the Giants, rushing 27 times for 138 yards (5.1 avg.) and three TDs. Each of those totals represents a career-high for Wells, who posted his second career 100-yard game and first since 12/20/09 @ Detroit (110 yards). Despite missing the week three matchup in Seattle and being off on the bye last week, Wells’ six rushing TDs are tied for the second-highest total in the NFL so far this season.

After a standout rookie season in ’09 when he rushed for 793 yards and seven TDs and was named to the PFW/PFWA All-Rookie team, Wells was slowed by a number of injuries in 2010 that limited his productivity, as he totaled 397 yards and two TDs on 116 carries. With his performance so far this season, Wells is on pace for the breakout season many expected of him entering 2011.

Wells needs just 17 rushing yards to surpass his rushing total all of last season and he needs two rushing TDs to establish a new career-high for a single season.

GOING FOR FIVE IN A ROW With his two-yard TD run against the Vikings in week five, RB Beanie Wells has posted a rushing TD in four consecutive games played, tying the second-longest streak in franchise history.

With a rushing TD this week against the Steelers, Wells would tie the franchise record and become the first Cardinals player with a rushing TD in five consecutive games since Ottis Anderson accomplished the feat between 1983-84.

GAINING MOMENTUM RB Beanie Wells has gotten better as the game goes on so far this season. During the second half of the week two contest in Washington, Wells carried the ball 11 times for 87 yards (7.9 avg.) and a TD. The 87 yards were the most ever for Wells in a single half. Wells followed that up in week four vs. the Giants, when he totaled 15 carries for 84 yards (5.6 avg.) and three TDs in the second half. So far this season, Wells has rushed for 216 yards and five TDs in the second half compared to 165 yards and a TD in the first half. Wells is averaging a full yard better in average yards per carry in the second half while 13 of his 18 rushing first downs have also came in the final two quarters.1st Half Production 2nd Half Production Att Yds Avg TD 1st Att Yds Avg TD 1st

SMITH SEEING ACTION Beanie Wells isn’t the only Cardinals RB making an impression this season. Second-year RB Alfonso Smithhas also caught some attention in his first NFL action out of the backfield the last few weeks. With Wells injured in week three, Smith stepped up and made his NFL debut as a RB against the Seahawks, totaling 17 carries for 54 yards and three receptions for 21 yards. Against the Vikings, Smith was brought in the game on 3rd-n-1 and converted with a two-yard run.

A rookie free agent out of the University of Kentucky in 2010, Smith was appearing in his third career game against the Seahawks. He appeared on special teams in one game as a rookie in ’10 and during the week two contest in Washington this season.

IN ANDERSON TERRITORY RB Beanie Wells is averaging 95.3 yards per game this season and should that number hold up, he would join Ottis Anderson as the only players in team history to average over 90 yards per game over the course of a single season. Anderson averaged 100.3 yards per game during the 1979 season on his way to a franchise record 1,605 yards.

Anderson currently holds four of the top five highest totals for rushing yards per game in a season by a Cardinals player.

SUCCESS AGAINST THE AFC Head coach Ken Whisenhunt has a history of success against teams from the AFC as the Cardinals head coach. Since becoming head coach in 2007, Whisenhunt has a 9-7 record against AFC opponents and has never had a losing season against the conference. The Cardinals have been particularly good at home against the AFC under Whisenhunt. Dating back to 2007, the Cardinals hold a 7-1 regular season record at home against the AFC. The Cardinals face the teams from the AFC North in 2011 and this week’s matchup vs. the Steelers marks the team’s first game against an AFC opponent this season. The last time the Cardinals faced the AFC North was in 2007, and Arizona finished with a 3-1 record, including a 21-14 victory over the Steelers at home. The lone loss to an AFC North opponent that season was a last second 23-20 loss in Baltimore.

APPROACHING THE RECORD Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt enters this week’s game vs. the Steelers with 37 career victories (postseason included). Whisenhunt needs three wins to pass Jim Hanifan (39) for the second-highest win total by a head coach in franchise history behind Don Coryell (42).

CARDS UNDER “THE WHIZ” 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.

Arizona’s win during week one vs. Carolina gave Whisenhunt a 3-2 record in season openers. The Cardinals have a 24-13 record at University of Phoenix Stadium under Whisenhunt (including postseason).

Below is a look at an impressive list of achievements that Whisenhunt has put together during his time in Arizona:

� The Cardinals earned NFC West titles in 2008 and ‘09, earning their first back-to-back division titles since 1974-75.

� 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 2008-09, 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.

� Whisenhunt finished with a 4-4 record at University of Phoenix Stadium in ’10, joining Don Coryell (1974-77) as the only coaches in franchise history to post four consecutive seasons with at least a .500 record. Whisenhunt is the first head coach in franchise history to post a .500 record or better at home in each of his first four seasons.

� The Cardinals started the 2009 season with a 5-0 record on the road for the first time since 1975.

� The Cardinals posted a 6-2 road record in ’09, the most road wins in a single season since posting six wins in 1963.

� The Cardinals have posted a 14-10 record against NFC West opponents under Whisenhunt.

� Led the Cardinals to the NFC West title in 2008, their first division title since 1975.

� 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 30-24 win over the Atlanta Falcons in the 2008 Wild Card Game was the first home playoff victory in 61 years.

� With the 34-21 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 1988.

� With the Cardinals 43-13 win over Denver in week 14 of ‘10 at University of Phoenix Stadium, the team improved to 7-1 at home against teams from the AFC.

A CAR FOR A FRIEND Prior to leaving Pittsburgh to take over as defensive coordinator for the Cardinals, Ray Horton decided to give one of his friends a big surprise—his car.

A cook at the Steelers cafeteria, Maurice “Mo” Matthews became good friends with Horton, sometimes sitting in on film sessions with the coach. He often joked with Horton about how much he admired his 1999 Mercedes Benz SL 500 convertible, asking when he would be able to drive it. Just before leaving Pittsburgh, Horton told Matthews he lost his wallet and need a few bucks—and in exchange for a $20 bill, handed Matthews the keys to his car. “You take care of the people who take care of you, whether it’s your family or a friend,” Horton said of the gesture.


QB EXPERIENCE REQUIRED The Cardinals roster hosts three QBs—Kevin Kolb, John Skelton, and Richard Bartel—all of whom saw NFL regular season action in 2010. 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, 155th 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 (vs. Den) it marked the first time since 1994 that a team has had two different rookie QBs start a game in a 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 1987 season, the Cards became the sixth team to start more than one rookie QB in a season.

AN OVERVIEW OF KOLB On July 28th, the Cardinals acquired QB Kevin Kolb in a trade with the Eagles that sent CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a 2012 second round draft pick to Philadelphia. Since beginning his NFL career in record-setting fashion in Philadelphia, Kolb has begun building an impressive resume after entering the league as a second round draft pick in 2007: Kolb in the NFL � Now in his fifth NFL season, has appeared in 24 career

games, with 12 starts. � In his 12 career starts, has completed 249 of 411 pass

attempts (60.6%) for 2,995 yards, 15 TDs, 15 INTs and a passer rating of 79.9. He has thrown for 200+ yards in 10 of those 12 starts, including four 300-yard passing performances.

� In just his second career start, 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 120.6.

� In a win over the Falcons in 2010, his fifth career start, posted a career-best QB rating of 133.6 and threw for 326 yards and three TDs on 23 of 29 passing in the game.

� Over the span of his first five NFL starts, 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).

EXECUTING THE PLAN As soon as an agreement on a new CBA was made, the Cardinals went to work executing a plan they carefully crafted during the offseason. Team President Michael Bidwill,General Manager Rod Graves, as well as Director of Player Personnel Steve Keim and his staff of scouts, wasted no time in filling out the roster.

A busy week of signings and deals began after the CBA agreement was ratified by the players on 7/27, when the Cardinals signed a group of 21 rookie free agents, and the team didn’t slow down from there.

When the dust had settled after the first week of the free agency period, the team had signed 51 players to contracts, including QB Kevin Kolb, who the team acquired in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. The staff had proved they were ready to handle the task of crafting a roster filled with veterans and younger player alike, in just a few days.

“I think it was all part of our plan,” Bidwill said. “We knew we’d have a great opportunity in a short window once the collective bargaining agreement was finished. We just wanted to go out there and put our best foot forward, really go out there and take a shot at some of the best players across the league.”

THE CAPTAINS In 2011, the Cardinals have six captains for the season who were selected in a team vote. Four of the captains have been given the honor multiple times while two players (LB Paris Lenon and K Jay Feely) are serving for the first time.For the second consecutive season, WR Larry Fitzgerald and C Lyle Sendlein were named the offensive captains. On defense, SS Adrian Wilson, DT Darnell Dockett and LB Paris Lenon were named captains and K Jay Feely was named special teams captain. Fitzgerald serves as a captain for the third consecutive season while Sendlein earned the title for the second time. Both Wilson and Dockett are serving as captains for the third consecutive season, with Wilson earning captain for the fourth time in his career (2007, 09-11). Both Feely and Lenon are serving as captains for the first time in their careers.


CONTINUING HIS CLIMB With his nine-yard reception in the second quarter in week three at Seattle, TE Todd Heap passed Ben Coates (5,555) for 14th

place on the NFL’s all-time receiving yardage list among TEs. All-Time Career Receiving Yards – Tight Ends # Yds Player Years 1 12,781 Tony Gonzalez* 1997-2 10,060 Shannon Sharpe 1990-2003 3 7,980 Ozzie Newsome 1978-90 4 7,918 Jackie Smith 1963-78 5 7,412 Pete Retzlaff 1956-66 6 7,381 Jason Witten* 2003- 7 7,079 Antonio Gates* 2003- 8 6,741 Kellen Winslow 1979-87 9 6,307 Steve Jordan 1982-94 10 5,947 Jeremy Shockey* 2002- 11 5,872 Todd Christensen 1979-88 12 5,812 Mike Ditka 1961-72 13 5,755 Riley Odoms 1972-83 14 5,642 Todd Heap* 2001-15 5,555 Ben Coates 1991-2000 *Active Player

With four catches against vs. the Giants in week four, Heap has 480 career receptions, tied with former Cardinals great Jackie Smith for 11th place on the all-time receptions list for TEs. He could enter the top 10 with 19 more receptions this season.

ANOTHER DIMENSION With the addition of TEs Todd Heap and Jeff King in free agency and the selection of Rob Housler in the third round (69th

overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft, Arizona has a trio of weapons at its disposal at the tight end position. As the first five games have showed, the Cards TEs provide big targets that can make plays down-field and provide additional options for QB Kevin Kolb.

In the victory over the Panthers in week one, King and Heap combined to haul in four receptions for 101 yards and a TD. King ledway with two receptions for 61 yards, including a 48-yard TD catch in the third quarter.

The production continued in week two against Washington, when the duo combined for three receptions, 44 yards and another TD. The TD was again courtesy of King, this one a 21-yard reception that opened the scoring and gave Arizona a 7-0 lead early.

In weeks three and four, it was Heap’s turn to step up, posting a combined 10 receptions for 102 yards over those two games. Inweek three at Seattle, Heap posted a season-high six receptions for 61 yards.

Heap wasn’t the only TE producing for Arizona in week four. A tall and speedy TE the Cardinals view as a future matchup nightmare for opposing defenses, Housler has spent the first quarter of the season getting acclimated to the Cardinals offense. He began seeing limited playing time on offense in week two and against the Giants, Housler hauled in his first career reception. His 16-yard catch came on 3rd-n-17 when he caught a short pass over the middle and made a nice move for the extra yardage. The Cardinals went for it on the next play and converted on 4th-n-1, keeping the drive alive. In week five at Minnesota, Housler was again active in the Cards offense, hauling in three receptions for 25 yards.

Through the first five games, King, Heap and Housler have now combined to total 27 receptions for 326 yards and two TDs. That production already surpasseed the total of the Cardinals TEs for the entire 2010 season. Last year, the Cards TEs combined to total 25 receptions for 210 yards and zero TDs on the season.

In 2007, Cardinals TEs combined for 357 yards and in 2006, the total was 296 yards. The last time Cardinals TEs combined to surpass 400 yards in a season was in 2005.

GOOD FIT FOR A KING TE Jeff King has been quick to assimilate himself into the Cardinals lineup and has proved a potent weapon for QB Kevin Kolb and the Arizona offense. King had a standout game in week one vs. Carolina when he caught two passes for 61 yards, including a career-long 48-yard TD reception in the third quarter. The TD reception ranked as the longest by a Cardinals TE since Rob Awalt hauled in a 52-yard TD pass on 11/20/88 at Houston.

Against the Washington Redskins in week two, King hauled in a 21-yard TD pass in the first quarter that gave the Cardinals a 7-0 lead. Dating back to 2010 when he was with the Carolina Panthers, King caught a TD pass in three consecutive games for the first time in his career.

With two TD receptions through the first four games, King is just one TD shy of tying his career single-season high of three TD receptions, established in 2009. Both of his TD receptions—the 48-yarder vs. Carolina and the 21-yarder in Washington—were longer than any of the nine TDs he had entering the 2011 season. Prior to this season, the longest TD reception of his career was a 17-yard TD vs. Washington on 10/11/09. Jeff King Career TD Breakdown Year Touchdowns 2011 21-yard reception from Kevin Kolb 48-yard reception from Kevin Kolb 2010 2-yard receptions from Jimmy Clausen 16-yard reception from Jimmy Clausen 2009 2-yard reception from Matt Moore 1-yard reception from Jake Delhomme 17-yard reception from Jake Delhomme 2008 15-yard reception from Jake Delhomme 2007 1-yard reception from Vinny Testaverde 5-yard reception from Jake Delhomme 2006 1-yard reception from Chris Weinke King is the first Cardinals TE with multiple TD receptions of 20+ yards in a single season since Chris Gedney in 1997.


ANOTHER BLOCK FOR THE CARDS With standouts such as K Jay Feely and return men LaRod Stephens-Howling and Patrick Peterson, one of the more overlooked aspects of the Cardinals special teams units is the team’s ability to block kicks.

Dating back to 2008, the Cardinals have blocked eight FG attempts, the most in the NFL over that period. The Cardinals led the NFL in blocked FGAs in both 2009 (3) and 2010 (3).

Arizona blocked the first FG of the 2011 season in week two at Washington when DE Calais Campbell got a hand on K Graham Gano’s 30-yard attempt late in the second quarter. Most Blocked FG Attempts (2008-present) Block Team 8 Arizona 6 Cleveland, Seattle 4 NY Giants Campbell’s block was the third blocked FG attempt of his career and first since 2009. During the ’09 season, Campbell blocked two FGAs, one at Jacksonville (9/20) and one vs. Houston (10/11).

ASSISTING THE OFFENSE Under head coach Ken Whisenhunt, the Cardinals have a 16-5 record when scoring a return TD. Including postseason, the Cardinals record improves to 18-5. Since ’07, the Cardinals have an NFL-high 30 return TDs during the regular season. NFL Return TD Leaders (2007-present) TDs Team 30 Arizona 26 Chicago 25 Green Bay 23 NY Jets 21 New England The Cardinals led the NFL with 12 return TDs in 2010, a total that ranked as the second-highest in NFL history behind the 1998 Seattle Seahawks (13). Arizona’s seven fumble return TDs in ’10 established an NFL record. The Cardinals nine fumble return TDs under Whisenhunt are tied with Philadelphia for most the most in the NFL while their 12 INT returns for TDs are tied with Baltimore for the second-best total in the NFL behind Green Bay (14). Breakdown of Return TDs (2007-present) INT Return – 12 Fumble Return – 9 Blocked FG Return – 2 KO Return – 4 Blocked Punt Return – 1 Punt Return – 2

The Cardinals 10 special teams TDs since 2007 rank as the third-highest total in the NFL during that span. Arizona trails the NY Jets (11) and the Chicago Bears, who have 18 special teams TDs.

PILING UP RETURN YARDS In 2010, the Cardinals had one of the NFL’s most dangerous kickoff return units, led by RB LaRod Stephens-Howling,who led the NFL with 1,548 KOR yards and tied a franchise record with two KOR TDs. Overall, the Cardinals led the NFL with 2,084 total KOR return yards on the season.

In 2011, the Cardinals KOR unit is again proving a strong suit for the team. Arizona has 399 KOR yards through the first five games, with an average of 79.8 KOR yards per game. That ranks as the seventh-best total in the NFL. Kickoff Return Yardage Per Game—NFL Leaders Start Team 108.0 NY Jets 91.8 Minnesota 89.0 Chicago 87.4 Washington 83.8 Miami 82.5 San Francisco 79.8 Arizona Following a week one injury to Stephens-Howling, CB A.J. Jefferson inherited the KOR duties. Returning kickoffs for the first time in his career, Jefferson averaged 29.0 yards per return, which ranks 10th in the NFL. His 51-yard return in week three against the Seahawks was a career-long.

Led by rookie Patrick Peterson, the Cardinals punt return unit is also one of the most dangerous in the NFL. Arizona’s 35.0 punt return yards per game average ranks fourth in the NFL.

EXCITING AS A ROOKIE When the Cardinals drafted rookie CB Patrick Peterson in the first round of April’s NFL Draft, the team knew it was getting one of college football’s best defenders. The team also got the SEC’s top return man as well and Peterson’s skills as a punt returner for the Cardinals have already been on full display this season, turning every return into a hold-your-breath moment. Appearing in his first NFL game in week one against the Panthers, Peterson returned a punt 89 yards for a TD in the fourth quarter, breaking a 21-21 tie with just over seven minutes remaining in the game. The 89-yard return marked the second-longest punt return in franchise history (95, Frank Bernardi 10/14/56 at Washington) and it also marks the second-longest punt return in the NFL this season behind Eric Decker’s 90-yard return for Denver.

WR DeMarco Sampson-(7th round, 249th overall) Played on both offense and on special teams during week one and again in weeks three through five. Did not play in week two.


WILSON DOES IT ALL Now in his 11th 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 (64th overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft. In that time, Wilson has become one of the league’s best safeties and most feared defenders.

After missing all four preseason contests due to a torn biceps injury suffered early in training camp, Wilson has started all five contests this season and has posted 22 tackles, three tackles for loss, an INT and four 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 10th 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) 22.5 26 CB Ronde Barber (TB, 1997-current) 26.0 41 S LeRoy Butler (GB, 1990-2001) 20.5 38 S Brian Dawkins (Phi/Den, 1996-current) 23.0 37 LB Donnie Edwards (KC/SD, 1996-2008) 23.5 28 S Rodney Harrison (SD/NE, 1994-2008) 30.5 34 LB Seth Joyner (Phi/Ari/GB/Den, 1986-98) 52.0 24 LB Ray Lewis (Bal, 1996-current) 39.5 31 LB Wilber Marshall (five teams, 1984-95) 45.0 23 S Lawyer Milloy (NE/Buf/Atl/Sea, 1996-current) 21.0 25 LB William Thomas (Phi/Oak, 1991-01) 37.0 27 S Lawyer Milloy joined the list in ’10, becoming the 11th 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 1982.

� 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.

TAKING OVER A GAME Wilson is one of the game’s top defenders and can take over a game at any moment, as evidenced by his performance against the Rams in week one of the 2010 season. In that game, he recorded two INTs, a sack, and a blocked FG in the win over St. Louis, becoming the first NFL player to record an INT, sack and blocked FG in a game since Julius Peppers accomplished the feat on 11/28/04 vs. Tampa Bay. Wilson also became the first Cardinals player in history to record two INTs, a sack and a blocked FG in the same game.

SAFETY SACK LEADERS Dating back to 2005, no safety tandem in the NFL have more combined sacks than Adrian Wilson and Kerry Rhodes. Wilson leads the category with 19.5 sacks over that period. Sack Leaders—NFL Safeties (2005-11) Sacks Player Team 19.5 Adrian Wilson Arizona 13.0 Roman Harper New Orleans12.0 Kerry Rhodes Arizona 9.5 Brian Dawkins Denver 9.0 Yeremiah Bell MiamiWilson’s 8.0 sacks during the 2005 season were the most in NFL history by a defensive back while Rhodes established a Jets franchise record for sacks by a DB with 5.0 in 2006.

A FIRST FOR RHODES One of the Cardinals leading playmakers again this season, FS Kerry Rhodes will miss the next few weeks after suffering a broken foot during the week five matchup in Minnesota. This week vs. Pittsburgh, Rhodes will sit out the first game of his career, which will snap a streak of 101 consecutive games played. That games played streak was the second-longest in the NFL among safeties behind the Giants Deon Grant (166). After being brought over in a trade from the NY Jets prior to the 2010 season, Rhodes had perhaps the best season of his career during his first year in Arizona. He established career-highs in many categories and became a significant threat when he got his hands on the ball.�Rhodes in 2010: � Recorded a career-high 111 tackles and four fumble recoveries, adding a team-high four INTs, two tackles for loss, a sack and eight passes defensed. � Only player in the NFL to record at least four INTs and four fumble recoveries in ’10, becoming the first NFL player to accomplish the feat since 2004 (Donovin Darius, Jacksonville, 5 INTs, 4 FR). � In back-to-back games (10/3 @ SD and 10/10 vs. NO), returned fumbles for TDs, tying the NFL record for fumbles returned for TDs in a season and becoming just the 36th player in NFL history to accomplish the feat. Became the first Cardinals player to do so since 1957 (Leo Sugar). � Piled up 174 return yards on his four INTs, the second-highest total in the NFL behind Baltimore’s Ed Reed (183).

BEHIND THE LINE The Cardinals defense has put in a lot of time in the opponent’s backfield so far this season. Through the first five games, Arizona’s defense has posted 11 sacks, 26 tackles for loss, 21 QB pressures and 14 QB hits.

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 (116) than Dockett. He has started 115 of 116 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 2009. 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.

BREAKING OUT IN YEAR TWO Second-year LB Daryl Washington entered the 2011 season with a bang in week one vs. the Carolina Panthers. One of the emerging stars on a Cardinals defense loaded with young talent, Washington posted six tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss, a QB hit and a crucial INT, the second of his career. 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 even chipped in on special teams as well, adding one tackle.

After missing the week two contest against the Redskins due to an injured calf suffered in the Carolina game, the first missed game of his career, Washington returned in week three at Seattle and hasn’t slowed down since. Against the Vikings in week five, Washington had another standout game, posting five tackles, two tackles for loss, a sack and a QB pressure. In four games this season, Washington has 21 tackles, a career-high two sacks, an INT and a team-high five tackles for loss.

Washington 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. He went on to start 11 of 16 games played, recording 77 tackles, a sack, two passes defensed, an INT and a forced fumble.

CAMPBELL IS HEATING UPDE Calais Campbell has been the biggest standout on the Cardinals defense in the last three games. Following a monster performance against Seattle in week three, the fourth-year player has followed up solid efforts against the Giants and Vikings over the past two games. Campbell posted six tackles, a tackle for loss and forced a fumble against NY in week four. After adding five tackles and a tackle for loss against the Vikings, Campbell is coming off a three-week stretch that included 21 tackles, 2.5 sacks, four tackles for loss, four QB hits and a forced fumble.

The 6-8 defender has a history of playing well against the NFC West rival Seahawks, but he was a nightmare for the Seattle offense during week three. Campbell camped out in the Seahawks backfield, posting a career-high 2.5 sacks, 10 tackles, two tackles for loss and four QB hits.

Campbell now has a sack in three consecutive games against Seattle and in five career starts against the division opponent, he has tallied six sacks.

Prior to his performance in week three, Campbell’s previous career-high for sacks in a game was 1.5, established in the Cardinals 2009 visit to Seattle.Campbell’s 2.5 sacks are tied for the second-highest single-game total in the NFL this season. Single-Game Sack Totals—NFL (2011) Sacks Player (Team) Opponent 3.0 Terrell Suggs (Bal) vs. Pittsburgh-Week 1 3.0 Jared Allen (Min) vs. Detroit-Week 3 3.0 Jason Babin (Phi) vs. San Fran-Week 4 2.5 Calais Campbell (Ari) @ Seattle-Week 3 2.5 Brian Orakpo (Was) @ St. Louis-Week 4

In addition to his sack total, Campbell’s 10 tackles against the Seahawks marked the second-highest total of his career and finished one shy of his career mark of 11 (10/11/09 at Carolina).

BACK TO SCHOOL DT Darnell Dockett is an All-Pro who has been selected to three Pro Bowls and established himself as one of the premiere defensive linemen in the league during his first seven NFL seasons. But when new defensive coordinator Ray Horton took over the Cardinals defense, Dockett’s role changed and he is now learning how to play his position all over again. It has turned out to be quite a change, since he couldn’t remember a time going back to high school when his job wasn’t just to apply pressure on the quarterback. “I was just sittin’ feeling like ‘OK, I’ll go take a nap right now because I know all this stuff,’” Dockett said of being used to the previous scheme. “Now, I’m in there like a rookie, taking notes, thinking, asking questions on the field, and even asking questions during the game. The faster I learn it, the faster I will be the player everybody expects me to be.” Dockett’s job now is less glorious, as he is expected to react to what offenses are trying to do and take on double teams to free up his teammates. He may not be filling up the stat sheets, but he is learning and helping those around him make plays, as evidenced by the emergence of fellow lineman Calais Campbell this season.

“It’s all about sacrificing for the defense. It takes a lot of focus, hard work and definitely sacrificing, but on the flip side, we can win a lot of games.”


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.

Since sacks became an official stat in 1982, only 25 players have recorded 100+ sacks in their career. Porter will be looking to become the 26th.

ONE OF NINE OVER 1,000Jay Feely is one of nine NFL players who have eclipsed 1,000 points since 2001, the year he entered the league. In that time, Feely has tallied 1,144 points, the second-highest total in the NFL dating back to ‘01 behind only 49ers K David Akers (1,248).

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 2010.

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 10th-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 through the first four games. Lenon led all Arizona defenders in week one with eight tackles, a half-sack and a QB pressure against the Panthers. Despite missing time in each of the next two games due to injury, Lenon still managed to add 11 tackles and a pass defensed against the Redskins and Seahawks. After posting 12 tackles over the last two games (vs. NY Giants, at Minnesota), Lenon is again atop the stat sheets for the Cardinals this season, leading Arizona with 31 tackles through the first five games.

A GOOD MIX The Cardinals defense is littered with promising young talent and the nose tackle position is one of the deepest. The Cards are beginning to reap the benefits this season as second-year pro (2010 first round pick) Dan Williams and 2011 sixth-round pick David Carter battle for playing time. That became particularly evident in the week four contest against the Giants. In helping the hold NY to just 54 rushing yards on 24 attempts (2.3 avg.), Williams and Carter combined for five tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a QB hit. Williams appeared in 15 games for Arizona as a rookie in ’10 and came on strong during the second half of the season, totaling 33 tackles over the final 10 games. He entered the 2011 season as the starter and has played well in the first five games, posting 11 tackles, a pass defensed and a tackle for loss.

Despite the lack of mini-camps and OTAs to acclimate himself into the defense, Carter has wasted no time in making an impression. He has seen action in all five games this season and made his biggest impact in week four against the Giants, posting three tackle and adding his first career sack and forced fumble when he took down QB Eli Manning in the third quarter.

ON THE JOB TRAINING The Cardinals have a pair of CBs who each made their first career start in week one this season. Rookie first round pick Patrick Peterson and second-year player A.J. Jefferson,a former rookie free agent, are both in their first year as starters and are learning on the job. Despite the steep learning curve the two young corners have experienced this season, both have shown marked improvement and increased confidence over the last few games.Jefferson now leads the team with eight passes defensed, having recorded five passes defensed and 12 tackles over the last three games. After going without a pass defensed in the first two games, Peterson now has an INT and three passes defensed over the past three games.

HONORING ROBLES The NFL, Hispanic Heritage Foundation (HHF) and Bud Light partnered to launch the NFL Hispanic Heritage Leadership Awards Presented by Bud Light for the 2011 season. The awards recognize the contributions of Hispanic leaders in each NFL market and the Cardinals selected Anthony Robles as the Arizona honoree. Robles, who became an NCAA champion wrestler for Arizona State University despite being born with just one leg, will be honored at this week’s game vs. Pittsburgh. With support from Bud Light, Robles selected the Wiggle Your Toes Foundation to receive a $2,000 donation. The foundation is dedicated to helping amputees and their families regain independence and mobility. Born without his right leg, Robles was a three-time All-American wrester at ASU, winning the 2011 NCAA Division I title for the 125-pound weight class. He finished his senior season with a perfect 36-0 record. During the 2011 ESPY’s, Robles took home the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance, an award named after former college basketball coach Jimmy Valvano.

Game 1 CARDINALS 28, Panthers 21

September 11, 2011 – University of Phoenix Stadium (60,627) Playing on the on the 10th 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 4th 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 3rd play of the next series, the Panthers faced a 3rd-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 2nd 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 2nd 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 4th, the Cards were down 21-14 and backed up to their own 10. Facing a 3rd-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 4th-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 7 7 7 0 21 CARDINALS 7 0 7 14 28 Team Qtr.

Game 2 Redskins 22, CARDINALS 21

September 18, 2011 – FedEx Field (76,330) In a back-and-forth week 2 affair at Washington, the Cards withstood some early blows from the Redskins to take an 8-point lead in the 4th quarter. 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 253-85 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 3rd-n-goal pass was INT’d by SS Adrian Wilson at the 2. On the next Redskins drive they faced 3rd-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 3rd FG block of his career. The Cards started the 2nd half with the ball and down just 3. They quickly moved inside the Washington 20 but a Kolb 3rd 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 4th,Washington moved to the AZ5 but settled for a 23-yard Gano FG that trimmed the margin to 14-13. 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 4th-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 21-19. 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.

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 2nd-year player Alfonso Smith. Arizona’s lone TD came on a Larry Fitzgerald score in the 2nd 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 4th-n-1 from the SEA 39 thanks to a pass interference penalty just after the 2:00 warning. But facing a 3rd-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.

Game 4 Giants 31, CARDINALS 27

October 2, 2011 – University of Phoenix Stadium (60,496) The Cards fell to 1-3 after their 3rd straight gut-wrenching defeat. Like the previous 2, victory appeared to be in their hands before seeing it slip away late. This time they lost a 10-point 4th quarter advantage by allowing two TD passes 0:58 apart late in the final stanza; the 2nd 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 3rd 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 2nd 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 3rd, 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 20-10 lead. Early in the 4th, Brandon Jacobs’ 1-yard TD run made it 20-17. 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 3rd 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 4th-n-2 pass from the NY30 fell incomplete.

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 34-10 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 28-0. 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 no-huddle 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 28-10. 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. The win was the Vikings 7th straight over the Cards in Minnesota, a place in which the Cardinals last won in 1977.
