THIS WEEK’S GAME The Cardinals face the Carolina Panthers in just the second home game of the 2013 regular season for Arizona. Coming off their bye week, the Panthers will look to even their record at 2-2 while the Cardinals seek to improve their record to 3-2 before heading back out on the road. Playing in their second consecutive 10 AM start and coming off a week-long stay in Sarasota, the Cardinals evened their record at 2-2 last week in Tampa Bay. The Cards came back from 10 points down in the 4th quarter to earn a 13-10 victory over the Bucs and rookie QB Mike Glennon, who was making his first career start. It was a milestone game for Arizona, who posted its first victory in Tampa since the 1988 season by coming back from a double-digit 4th quarter deficit on the road for the first time since 1999 at Philadelphia. The defense keyed the win and kept Arizona in the game by bottling up Bucs RB Doug Martin – the NFL’s second leading rusher heading into game – to the tune of just 45 yards on 27 attempts. It was only the eighth time since 1935 that a player was held to 45 yards or fewer with at least 25 attempts in a game. CB Patrick Peterson was the defensive standout, with two INTs in the final four minutes of the game that set up the game-tying score (a 13-yard pass from Carson Palmer to Larry Fitzgerald) and ended the game when he picked off Glennon with under a minute remaining. Following this week’s game, the Cardinals head west for a meeting with the division rival 49ers, as both teams look to keep pace in the NFC West. Carolina will head to Minnesota to take on the Vikings.

CARDINALS & PANTHERS – THE LAST TIME 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. Kolb completed 18 of 27 passes for 309 yards with 2 TDs and no INTs (130.0 passer rating). 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. 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, 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 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. 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 win.

PROMOTING AWARENESS The 2013 season marks the fifth year of the NFL’s A Crucial Catch Campaign – in partnership with the American Cancer Society (ACS). The goal of the program is to help encourage annual mammograms for women over the age of 40. In the first four years of the campaign, A Crucial Catch raised more than $4.5 million for ACS, with nearly $2 million raised in 2013 alone. Last season, A Crucial Catch reached 145 million views, including 55 million age 18 and older. Last year, money raised through A Crucial Catch went to support the American Cancer Society’s Community Health Advocates National Grants for Empowerment (CHANGE) program. In the first full year of the CHANGE initiative, the NFL and the ACS directly reached more than 40,000 women and screened nearly 10,000. All 32 NFL teams will dedicate one home game during the month of October as their official breast cancer awareness game and theCardinals will join the other NFL clubs playing at home in recognizing breast cancer awareness in various ways on the field andthroughout 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 this week’s Cards game, include:

� Game balls with pink ribbon decals used for every down and pink kicking tees � Players wearing pink cleats, wristbands, gloves, chin straps, sideline caps, helmet decals, eye shield decals, captains’ patches,

sideline towels and quarterback towels � Pink coins used for the coin toss � Pink sideline caps for coaches and sideline personnel � Officials wearing caps with pink ribbons, wristbands and pins and using pink whistles � On-field pink ribbon stencils and A Crucial Catch wall banners � Pink goal post padding in both end zones � Pink pom poms, wristbands and t-shirts for cheerleaders

The Cards official BCA game occurs this week vs. Carolina, when the Cardinals parachute team will jump over University of Phoenix Stadium with pink flags and pink smoke. The National Anthem will be performed by Amber Carrington from Season 4 of The Voice,whose mother passed away from breast cancer. Halftime will feature a special tribute to breast cancer survivors as local high school cheerleaders perform with pink pom poms and a giant pink ribbon is unfurled by 80 breast cancer survivors. In addition, the Perry High School football team and their cheerleading squad will attend the game this Sunday to help assist withpink ribbon distribution to Cardinals fans in attendance.

BACK HOME Following a nine-day trip in which the Cardinals played road games in New Orleans and Tampa Bay—with a week-long stay in Sarasota in between—the Cardinals return home this week to face the Carolina Panthers at University of Phoenix Stadium. This week’s game is just the second home contest for the Cards this season after they took down the Lions 25-21 in Week 2. In hosting the Panthers this week, the Cardinals will be playing in their 77th game at University of Phoenix Stadium. Heading into this Sunday’s game, the Cardinals have sold out all 76 games played on their home field (including preseason and postseason). Arizona played three of its first four games on the road this season, finishing with a 2-2 record. The only other teams to play three of their first four games away from home this season are the NY Giants (0-4) and Miami Dolphins (3-1). The 2013 season marked the 12th time the Cardinals opened the year with three of their first four games on the road since 1988.

A LOOK AHEAD Following this week’s matchup against the Carolina Panthers at University of Phoenix Stadium, the Cardinals are back on the road in Week 6 for a pivotal NFC West matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The Cards and Niners are both 2-2 and looking to keep pace in the divisional race. On the trip, the Cards will look to snap a four game winless streak in San Francisco. The trip to San Francisco will be the Cardinals last road game until Week 11 (Jacksonville). After facing the Niners, Arizona has home games against Seattle (4-0) in Week 7 and Atlanta (1-3) in Week 8 followed with a bye in Week 9 and a home matchup with the Houston Texans (2-2) in Week 10.

A PERSONAL CAUSE For Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald and S Tyrann Mathieu,supporting the NFL’s A Crucial Catch campaign takes on special meaning, as both have lost family members to the disease. That is why both players are stepping up in support of the league’s initiative. Fitzgerald lost his mother, Carol, to breast cancer in 2003, and over the past few years raising awareness for breast cancer research has been a primary focus. In honor of the NFL’s A Crucial Catch campaign, Fitzgerald is serving as a spokesman for the league-wide initiative for the fourth consecutive year. In the previous three seasons alone, Fitzgerald has helped raise tens of thousands of dollars for cancer research with donations tied to his performance on the field and through his presence online on Twitter. During the 2012 season, Fitzgerald donated $1,000 for every one of his catches and $10,000 for every TD reception in the month of October. Fitzgerald’s efforts to support breast cancer awareness extend off the field as well. He founded the Carol Fitzgerald Memorial fund, which helps to educate on breast cancer issues, along with raising awareness for HIV/AIDS among urban youth. Having lost two aunts to breast cancer, Mathieu will join Nicole Bidwill, team mascot Big Red and Cardinals Cheerleaders at Perry High School on Friday (10/4) from 6:00-7:00 PM for a special pregame presentation to support Breast Cancer Awareness. Mathieu will be part of a group from the Cardinals that will help recognize 10 breast cancer survivors from Perry High School during the ceremony and present all of them with an honorary pink jersey.

LAST WEEK’S GAME CARDINALS 13, BUCCANEERS 10

September 29, 2013 – Raymond James Stadium (44,956) In a game each team needed badly, the Cardinals were shut out thru 3 quarters on a steamy, late September afternoon in Tampa. But rather than wilt in the FL sun, Arizona came to life late, taking advantage of 3 Buccaneer turnovers to erase Tampa’s 10-point 4th quarter lead and emerge with the victory. It was the first time in over 14 years (9/12/99 at Philly) that the Cards overcame a double-digit 4th quarter deficit to win on the road. An injury-ravaged Arizona defense turned in an incredible effort limiting the NFL’s 2nd leading rusher Doug Martin to 45 yards on 27 carries; it also came up with three 4th quarter takeaways including a pair of INTs from All-Pro CB Patrick Peterson in the game’s final 4 minutes. The win evened Arizona’s record at 2-2 while Tampa fell to 0-4. After playing in New Orleans the previous Sunday, the Cardinals spent the week leading up to the game practicing in nearby Bradenton. On Arizona’s 2nd offensive series of the game, RB Rashard Mendenhall fumbled and DT Gerald McCoy recovered at the AZ41. The Bucs capitalized when rookie QB Mike Glennon – who was elevated to the starting job over Josh Freeman earlier in the week - hit WR Mike Williams for an 8-yard TD. Late in the 2nd quarter Tampa moved 61 yards in 14 plays and Rian Lindell’s 50-yarder with 0:27 left in the first half made it 10-0 Bucs at intermission. On their opening drive of the 2nd half the Cards marched from their own 8 to the TB15 thanks in large part to Carson Palmer passes to Larry Fitzgerald (3-41) and Michael Floyd (2-41). However, Palmer’s attempt to Floyd in the end zone was intercepted by rookie DB Johnthan Banks. On their next offensive series, the Cards moved to the TB33 but Palmer’s 1st down attempt to Fitzgerald was picked off along the sideline by CB Darrelle Revis. Early in the 4th Tampa had a 10-0 lead and the ball at the AZ 48 when Martin fumbled a hand-off and LB Matt Shaughnessy recovered at midfield. That takeaway led to a 42-yard Jay Feely FG that made it 10-3. After the teams traded punts, Tampa had it deep in its own territory clinging to a 7-point lead. Facing a 2nd-n-6 at his own 11, Glennon tried to hit Vincent Jackson across the middle but Peterson picked it off setting AZ up at the TB13. On the next snap, Fitzgerald beat Revis and Palmer hit him in the end zone for the game-tying score. Arizona’s kickoff coverage then pinned Tampa at its own 10 on and on a 3rd down play from there, newly-acquired Cards LB Dontay Moch sacked Glennon for a 9-yard loss back to the 1. After the punt, Arizona took over at the TB38 with 1:56 left and the game tied at 10. On 1st down Palmer hit rookie WR Jaron Brown with a 19-yard completion down the right sideline and a personal foul penalty on Dashon Goldson moved it to the 9. Four plays later, a short FG by the Tampa-native Feely made it 13-10 with 1:29 left. On the ensuing drive the Bucs advanced to their own 41 with :56 left before Peterson sealed the game with his 2nd INT in a little over 3 minutes. CARDINALS 0 0 0 13 13 BUCCANEERS 7 3 0 0 10 Team Qtr.

STRENGTH VS. STRENGTH The Cardinals matchup against the Panthers this week will feature one of the NFL’s stingiest run defenses facing off against the one of its best rushing attacks.Last week’s game against Tampa Bay marked the third time in four games this season that the Cardinals have held their opponents below 3.0 yards per rushing attempt. Arizona allowed 2.8 yards per carry in St. Louis in Week 1, 2.5 yards per attempt vs. Detroit in Week 2 and 2.6 yards per attempt last week in Tampa Bay. Through four games, the Cardinals feature the NFL’s second-ranked run defense, allowing just 75.0 yards per game. Only Denver (74.0) is allowing fewer rushing yards per game than the Cardinals. NFL Leaders – Run Defense YPG Team 74.0 Denver 75.0 Arizona 77.8 Dallas 79.0 Cleveland 79.3 NY Jets That run defense will be tested this week against a Panthers offense that brings features the NFL’s third ranked rushing attack, which averages 151.0 yards per game. NFL Leaders – Rushing Yards/Game YPG Team 198.3 Philadelphia 152.0 Buffalo 151.0 Carolina 149.5 Indianapolis 144.3 Seattle


BIG COMEBACK ON THE ROAD The Cardinals trailed Tampa Bay 10-0 entering the 4th

quarter last week, but scored 13 unanswered points in the final 12 minutes on two FGs by Tampa native Jay Feely and a 13-yard TD strike from Carson Palmer to Larry Fitzgerald to earn the victory. Notes on the Win � It marked the first time the Cardinals erased a 10+ point

4th quarter deficit to win in regulation since 12/28/03 vs. Minnesota. In that dramatic 18-17 victory that knocked the Vikings out of playoff contention, Arizona overcame an 11-point 4th quarter deficit by scoring the game’s final 12 points, including a 28-yard TD pass on the final play.

� The win marked the first time since 9/12/99 at Philadelphia that the Cardinals overcame a double-digit 4th quarter deficit to win on the road. In that game, Arizona came back from 12 points down in the 4th quarter to earn a 25-24 win.

� In the Cardinals two victories this season – both 4th

quarter comebacks – the team has outscored opponents 22-0 in the 4th quarter. Arizona outscored Detroit 9-0 in the 4th quarter of their 25-21 victory in Week 2, and Arizona outscored the Bucs 13-0 in the 4th quarter last week.

� With the win, Arizona earned its first road victory over the Buccaneers since the 1988 season and its first ever win in Raymond James Stadium.

A TRAGIC LOSS NT Dan Williams has missed the Cardinals last two games after suffering the tragic loss of his father, Thomas Williams, in a car accident.A regular fixture at Cardinals games both at home and on the road, Thomas Williams—who made his home in Memphis, TN—was on the way to New Orleans to watch Dan play when the accident occurred near Jackson, MS. Williams’ mother and sister were also in the car and were both hospitalized. They are both expected to recover from their injuries. The funeral for Thomas Williams was held last Saturday (9/28) and was attended by team president Michael Bidwill, D-Line coach Brentson Buckner and Williams’ teammates on the D-Line. Bidwill, a licensed pilot, flew the Cards group from Florida—where they were staying in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Bucs—to Memphis on Saturday morning and back to Florida that evening. A starter on the line since the Cards selected him in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, Williams is expected back in the lineup for this week’s game against Carolina.

CARDS D MAKES HISTORY The Cardinals defense held Buccaneers RB Doug Martin – the NFL’s second-leading rusher heading into the game – to just 45 rushing yards on 27 attempts last week, as he averaged just 1.7 yards per carry.

A Rare Feat Martin’s 45 rushing yards were the fewest yards for a RB with 25+ carries since LeSean McCoy had 38 yards on 27 carries on 12/11/11 vs. Miami. It also marked just the eighth time since 1935 that a player was held to 45 yards or fewer with at least 25 attempts in a game. It is only the second time it has happened in a loss and the first time since 1968. Fewest Rushing Yards with 25+ Attempts (1968-Present) Yds Player (Team) Opponent Att 45 Doug Martin (TB) 9/29/12 vs. Arizona 27 42 Larry Brown (Was) 12/13/71 vs. LA Rams 27 42 Reggie Cobb (TB) 12/26/93 vs. Denver 25 42 Curtis Martin (NYJ) 11/1/98 vs. Kansas City 30 40 Pug Rentner (Bos) 12/8/35 vs. Brooklyn 25 38 LeSean McCoy (Phi) 12/11/11 vs. Miami 27 37 Abdul-Karim al-Jabbar (Mia) 10/13/96 vs. Buffalo 25 33 Paul Robinson (Cin) 12/8/68 vs. NY Jets 26 � Martin was the Bucs leading rusher with 45 yards on 27 carries

and TE Tim Wright was the Bucs leading receiver with 41 yards on five receptions. Last week’s game marked the first time in NFL history dating back to 1933 (first year stats were kept) that a team had a player with 25+ rushing attempts and a player with 5+ receptions and no player with more than 45 yards of offense.

� The Cards held Martin to two yards or fewer on 14 of 27 carries in the game, with nine of his attempts going for negative yards.

� For the game, the Buccaneers totaled just 80 yards rushing on 31 attempts, averaging 2.6 yards per carry. Of those 80 rushing yards for Tampa Bay, 22 came on a fake punt attempt by Dashon Goldson. Buccaneers RBs totaled 30 carries for 58 yards in the game, an average of 1.9 yards per attempt.

PETERSON CLOSES THE DOOR CB Patrick Peterson had his first two INTs of the 2013 season on Sunday, and they both came in the final four minutes to lead the Cardinals to victory. The Performance Peterson’s first INT came with 3:23 remaining and Tampa Bay holding a 10-3 lead. On the play, Peterson stepped in front of a Mike Glennon pass intended for Vincent Jackson at the TB 24-yard line. Peterson returned the INT 11 yards and QB Carson Palmer hit WR Larry Fitzgerald on the next play for a 13-yard TD to tie the game. After a Bucs punt, the Cardinals took a 13-10 lead on a Jay Feely FG. Tampa Bay took over at their own 20-yard line with 1:29 remaining before Peterson stepped in front of a Glennon pass on 2nd-n-2 with 50 seconds left to end the game. A Significant Achievement � Last week’s outing against Tampa Bay was the first multi-

INT game of Peterson’s career. � Peterson became the first Cardinals player to record two

4th quarter INTs in a game since Kwamie Lassiter intercepted two Charlie Batch passes on 11/18/01 vs. Detroit. He became the first Cardinals player since Tim McDonald on 10/20/91 vs. Atlanta to record two INTs in the final four minutes of the 4th quarter.

IT’S A LOSS CAUSE A big reason the Cards feature the NFL’s second ranked rush defense is that Arizona is better than any team in the NFL at getting to ball carrier before they get to the line of scrimmage. The Cardinals have stopped runners for negative yards on 16 of 68 rush attempts this season (23.5%). The 16 carries for losses and the 23.5% rate at which they occur both lead the NFL in 2013.

NEVER SAY NEVER WITH PETERSON The two INTs for CB Patrick Peterson that helped lead to the Cards 4th quarter comeback against Tampa Bay last week is one of three nominees for the GMC Never Say Never Moment of the Week for Week 4. The INT return for TD by Seattle CB Richard Sherman in the Seahawks win at Houston and New England CB Aqib Talib’s 4th down deflection in the final seconds in the over Atlanta are the other nominees. Cards fans can vote for Peterson and the Cardinals at: http://on.nfl.com/16TOV3C through Friday (10/4) at Noon to determine the GMC Never Say Never Moment of the Week. The winner will be announced Friday during NFLN’s “Around the League” show and then posted on NFL.com.

KEIM TAKES THE REINS In January, Steve Keim was named the Cardinals new General Manager. Earning the promotion at the age of 40, Keim became one of the youngest GMs in the NFL. Keim celebrated his 41st

birthday on Sept 8th during his first game as GM.

General Manager Team Age BirthdateHowie Roseman Philadelphia 38 June 23, 1975 David Caldwell Jacksonville 39 February 14, 1974 Tom Telesco Indianapolis 40 December 12, 1972 Doug Whaley Buffalo 41 September 23, 1972 Steve Keim Arizona 41 September 8, 1972 Ryan Grigson Indianapolis 41 February 23, 1972

The 2013 season is Keim’s 15th with the Cardinals organization, having originally joined the club in 1999 as a college scout covering the eastern portion of the country. He was promoted to Director of College Scouting in 2006, Director of Player Personnel in 2008 and was then promoted to Vice President, Player Personnel in May, 2012.

With the Cardinals, Keim played an integral part in the drafting of Pro Bowlers Patrick Peterson, Larry Fitzgerald and Darnell Dockett. In his first draft as GM, Keim selected such college standouts as LB Kevin Minter and S Tyrann Mathieu.

“Steve has earned this position,” Cardinals President Michael Bidwill said when announcing Keim’s promotion. “As I went through the process of evaluating the field of candidates and speaking to people, both inside our training facility and outside, I became more and more convinced that Steve Keim was the right man to be the general manager for the Arizona Cardinals.”

A Pennsylvania native, Keim was a two-time All-ACC selection at guard at N.C. State before going on to a brief stint in professional football as a free agent with the Miami Dolphins (1996) and Edmonton Eskimos (1997) of the Canadian Football League.

QUICK TURNAROUND Bruce Arians has been a part of 13 different playoff teams in his 20 seasons as an NFL coach. He has an 11-11 playoff record, including three Super Bowl appearances and two Super Bowl titles (XL, XLIII). He has also been known for quick turnarounds where he has coached.

UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS IN INDY The Indianapolis Colts posted a 2-14 record in 2011, featuring an offense that ranked 30th overall in the NFL. In one season under Bruce Arians, the Colts offense—which was stacked with rookies, including eventual Pro Bowl QB Andrew Luck—finished the year ranked 10th overall and Indy returned to the postseason after posting an 11-5 record.

2012 Colts Notes� Was named both “Coach of the Year” and “Assistant Coach of

the Year” by Pro Football Weekly & the Pro Football Writers of America. He became the first individual to win both awards in the same year.

� Took over as interim coach on October 1, 2012 when head coach Chuck Pagano left the team to undergo treatment for leukemia.

NOT JUST THE HEAD COACH NFL head coaches come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are defensive specialists while some have experience rooted in the offensive side of the ball. Cardinals first-year head coach Bruce Arians has earned a reputation as one of the NFL’s most aggressive play callers in his time with Pittsburgh and Indianapolis. Arians will utilize those skills as an offensive specialist with the Cardinals, continuing to call the plays from the sidelines, opting to continue doing what only a handful of NFL head coaches do when taking over the leadership role. There are only seven coaches in the NFL that call the offensive plays, with many relying on their coordinators. Below is a list of NFL head coaches who call their own plays: NFL Head Coaches Calling Plays on Offense Bruce Arians (Arizona) Andy Reid (Kansas City) Marc Trestman (Chicago) Sean Payton (New Orleans) Mike McCarthy (Green Bay) Chip Kelly (Philadelphia) Gary Kubiak (Houston)

AN ACCOMPLISHED ROOKIEThe 2013 season is the beginning of the Bruce Arians era in Arizona. Hired as the Cardinals head coach on 1/17/13, the first-time head coach came to Arizona as the reigning AP NFL Coach of the Year following his work with the Indianapolis Colts in 2012.

A former QB at Virginia Tech (1972-74), Arians began his coaching career in 1975 as a graduate assistant at his alma mater. Now in his 39th season in the coaching ranks, Arians is in his 21st season in the NFL.

Arians in the NFL � Became an NFL head coach for the first time when he was

hired by Arizona on January 17, 2013. Signed a four-year contract with a team option for a fifth year.

� Named the 2012 AP NFL Coach of the Year after serving 12 games as the interim head coach for the Indianapolis Colts during Chuck Pagano’s absence while being treated for leukemia. He also served as the Colts offensive coordinator during the 2012 season.

� Arians led the Colts to a 9-3 mark after taking over for Pagano, tying the NFL record for wins by an interim head coach.

� Comes to the Cardinals with 20 years of experience as an NFL assistant coach with five different teams: Indianapolis (2012; 1998-2000), Pittsburgh (2004-11), Cleveland (2001-03), New Orleans (1996), and Kansas City (1989-92).

� As offensive coordinator with the Steelers, Arians was part of Pittsburgh teams that won three AFC North Division titles, two AFC Championships and Super Bowl XLIII. He was also the Steelers wide receivers coach when they won Super Bowl XL.


MOORE EXPERIENCE REQUIRED Hired by the Cardinals on 1/21/13 to serve as Assistant Head Coach/Offense, Tom Moore is in his 35th year of coaching in the NFL.

RECORD HOLDER RETURNS The running backs on the Arizona roster have a lot of work to do to live up to the legacy left by their position coach, Stump Mitchell, while he played with the Cardinals.

A standout RB and return specialist for nine seasons with the Cards from 1981-89, Mitchell enters his first season as RBs coach with the Cardinals and 12th season as an NFL assistant.

A ninth round selection (226th overall) by the Cardinals in the 1981 NFL Draft, Mitchell spent his entire nine-year NFL career with the Cards. He currently holds the franchise record with 11,988 all-purpose yards and ranks second all-time in rushing yards (4,649), punt return yards (1,377) and kickoff return yards (4,007), while also adding 1,955 career receiving yards.

Mitchell finished his career having posted a 4.7-yard average, which ranks as the second-highest career mark in team history. He posted a 5.6-yard rushing average in 1981, earning All-Rookie honors from Pro Football Weekly, who also awarded him All-NFC honors as a kickoff returner in 1984.

PRATT IN 35th NFL SEASON Cardinals pass rush specialist Tom Pratt kicked off his 35th

year coaching in the NFL in 2013 after starting his career in 1963 with the Kansas City Chiefs. Before coaching the Kansas City defensive line in Super Bowl I and earning a title in Super Bowl IV, Pratt held the same position for the Chiefs while they were members of the American Football League, earning him the honor of being the only active NFL assistant to have coached in the AFL. Pratt is also the only current coach in the NFL to be on staff during each of the last six decades (60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 00’s and ‘10’s). During his NFL tenure, Pratt has coached four Pro Football Hall of Famers, including two 2013 selections, has aided five players in reaching a combined 23 Pro Bowls and helped three players earn a combined seven All-Pro titles.

REMARKABLE RECOVERY That Cardinals quarterback coach Freddie Kitchens was with the team when it reported to training camp on July 25th was remarkable considering the scare he endured just 50 days earlier. At an OTA practice on June 4th, Kitchens began to feel ill. QBs Drew Stanton and Carson Palmer sensed that something was wrong and called over the team’s head trainer Tom Reed.

“Anyone who knows Freddie’s personality, he’s jovial and easy-going,” Stanton said. “He was joking around asking if a heart attack is on the left or right side, going for the chuckle, and then said ‘Actually, it’s kind of in the middle here.’ I told him, ‘Freddie, that sounds kind of serious,’ and Carson (Palmer) said ‘Yeah Freddie, you don’t look so good, you’re kind of flush.’ He tried to say he was OK, but we called Tom (Reed) over and he was monitoring him.” The trainers arranged for Kitchens to be taken to the hospital for tests and during that process, a CT scan revealed tears in his aorta that required surgery, which he had that same night after being flown to the Arizona Heart Hospital. "We never even talked about how soon I would be back," Kitchens said after the team reported to camp. "It's really the same way you do it in football. You just do the best you can every day and you see where you're at in the end. It just so happened I was well enough to get back to work.” When he was on the sideline for the Week 1 season opener against St. Louis, Kitchens was just 96 days removed from heart surgery.

THE ROOKIE CLASS Bruce Arians earned his second victory as head coach with the Cardinals 13-10 victory over the Buccaneers last week. Arians posted a 9-3 record as an interim head coach for the Indianapolis Colts during the 2012 season, but Sunday’s win was his second official victory as a head coach.

A MAN OF MANY MILESTONES Through his first nine NFL seasons, WR Larry Fitzgeraldaccumulated a host of records—setting both franchise and NFL marks. Below is a look at what Fitzgerald has accomplished since being selected with the third overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft.

In Week 6 of the 2012 season vs. Buffalo, Fitzgerald surpassed 10,000 career receiving yards. At 29 years, 44 days old, he joined Randy Moss (28 years, 314 days) as the only players in NFL history to reach the milestone before the age of 30.Youngest To 10,000 Career Receiving Yards Player Age Randy Moss 28 years, 314 days Larry Fitzgerald 29 years, 44 days Jerry Rice 30 years, 54 days Torry Holt 30 years, 132 days Isaac Bruce 30 years, 343 days In Week 3 of the ’12 campaign, Fitzgerald surpassed 700 career receptions. At 29 years, 23 days old, Fitzgerald became the youngest player in NFL history to reach that mark. He was over a year younger than the previous record holder—Dallas TE Jason Witten (30 years, 133 days old). Youngest To 700 Career Receptions Player Age Larry Fitzgerald 29 years, 23 days Jason Witten 30 years, 133 days Andre Johnson 30 years, 139 days Torry Holt 30 years, 202 days Randy Moss 30 years, 230 days 9,000 Receiving Yards � At 28 years, 81 days old, Fitzgerald reached 9,000 career receiving yards in Week 11 of the 2011 season, becoming the second-youngest player in NFL history to reach the career milestone. Only Randy Moss (27 years, 310 days old) reached the mark at a younger age than Fitzgerald.

70 Career TD Receptions � Fitzgerald reached 70 career TDs in Week 10 of the ‘11 season vs. Philadelphia and at 28 years, 74 days old, hebecame the third-youngest player in NFL history to accomplish the feat, trailing only Randy Moss (26 years, 269 days) and Hall of Famer Jerry Rice (28 years, one day).

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 yards, 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 in Week 1 vs. San Francisco 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 (28 years, 266 days old).

100 Receptions in a Season � At 22 years, 123 days old, Fitzgerald became the youngest

player in NFL history to record a 100-catch season (2005).

THE CLIMB CONTINUES Larry Fitzgerald entered the 2013 season having caught a pass in a franchise record 133 consecutive games, a franchise record. He has extended that mark to 137 games with receptions in each of the first four games this season. Franchise Record—Consecutive Games With a Reception Gms Player (Streak) 137 Larry Fitzgerald (Game 8 in 2004-present) 121 Mel Gray (Game 3 in 1973-Game 4 in 1982) 94 Bobby Joe Conrad (Game 9 in 1961-Game 4 in 1968) 89 Larry Centers (Game 7 in 1993-Game 16 in 1998) 74 Roy Green (Game 2 in 1981-Game 10 in 1986) Fitzgerald has a reception in 143 of 144 games played in his career. The only game in which he did not catch a pass came during his rookie season (10/31/04 @ Buffalo). Fitzgerald’s receptions streak ranks as the second-longest active mark in the NFL behind Tony Gonzalez (197).

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

HOUSLER RETURNS With QB Carson Palmer in place, the Cardinals are expecting a big season out of TE Rob Housler, who led all NFC West TEs in receptions during the 2012 season. After missing the first two games, Housler has returned to action and recorded two receptions in his first two games back.

Housler took a giant step during the 2012 season, hauling in 45 receptions for 417 yards and showing significant progress as a receiver. Despite missing the season finale due to injury, Housler’s 45 reeptions ranked as the fifth-best total in franchise history among TEs. Only two TEs (Jackie Smith and Freddie Jones) had more catches in a season than Housler did during the 2012 campaign.

Franchise Record—Receptions by a TE Rec Player (Year) 56 Jackie Smith (1967) 55 Freddie Jones (2003) 49 Jackie Smith (1968) 47 Jackie Smith (1964) 45 Rob Housler (2012) Freddie Jones (2004) Jackie Smith (1966)

At 6-5 and 250 pounds, Housler possesses a rare combination of size and speed for a tight end. At the 2011 NFL Combine, Housler ran the 40-yard dash in 4.46 seconds, which was the fastest time among any TE at the event.

LIVING UP TO EXPECTATIONS WR Michael Floyd capped off his rookie season in 2012 with a performance that had observers predicting big things for the former first round pick out of Notre Dame. In the ’13 opener at St. Louis, Floyd showed that he was ready to resume where he left off last year. Against the Rams, Floyd totaled four receptions for 82 yards, including a spectacular one-handed 44-yard reception in the second quarter that set up a Fitzgerald TD reception that gave Arizona a 7-0 lead. After Floyd posted season highs with five receptions for 87 yards against the Bucs last week, he now has multiple receptions in 13 straight games. In his first seven games last season as a rookie, Floyd recorded multiple receptions just once.

As a rookie, Floyd saved the best performance of the season for the finish, establishing season-highs with eight receptions for 166 yards and a TD in the Week 17 finale at San Francisco. Floyd’s 166 receiving yards were the highest total for a Cardinals rookie since Anquan Boldin totaled 217 yards on 9/7/03 at Detroit. It also tied for the fourth-best single game total by a rookie in franchise history.

His 166 receiving yards were the most for a Cardinals player in a game since Boldin posted 186 yards on 11/16/08 at Seattle.

Floyd finished his rookie season with 45 receptions for 562 yards and two TDs. He posted 37 receptions over the final nine games after totaling eight catches over the first seven catches. Floyd’s first career reception was an eight-yard TD vs. Philly in Week 3.

SOLID START FOR ROBERTS Fourth-year WR Andre Roberts enjoyed a strong season for the Cardinals in 2012, starting all 15 games he appeared in and collected career highs in receptions (64), receiving yards (759) and receiving TDs (5), which also ranked as a team-high. His five TD receptions also surpassed the total from his first two NFL seasons combined (4). Roberts has built on that success to begin the 2013 season, including an outing in St. Louis that may have been his finest as a pro. While the stats against St. Louis—eight receptions for 97 yards—don’t jump off the page, Roberts consistently made tough catches and held on to the ball despite absorbing a number of big hits. Despite a big day by fellow WR Larry Fitzgerald (2 TDs), it was Roberts whom head coach Bruce Arians said the game ball would have gone to had the Cards held on for the win. Roberts in St. Louis: � Roberts posted four receptions for 42 yards on third down, with all four catches resulting in first downs. � Had two 3rd down catches on the Cards 2nd quarter FG drive. � Had three catches on the third quarter TD drive that ended on a Palmer to Fitzgerald TD. Following a holding call that made it 1st-n-20, Roberts had catches of 16 and 11 yards to convert the first down and keep the eventual TD drive alive.

Roberts’ continues to build on the promise that began to show toward the end of the 2011 season. His production over his last 28 games easily overshadows his output through his first 22 career games.

PRACTICE SQUAD TO GAME BALL RECIPIENT As the NFL opened Week 2, WR Kerry Taylor was on the Cardinals practice squad. Six days later, Taylor closed out a memorable six days by receiving a game ball from head coach Bruce Arians.

Promoted to the active roster the Saturday (9/14) before Arizona hosted Detroit, the Chandler, AZ native caught three passes for 40 yards in his first career NFL action.

Taylor’s Reception Breakdown vs. Detroit � 17-yard catch from CB Patrick Peterson on a reverse pass.

The play was Peterson’s first career pass attempt and Taylor’s first career reception.

� 16-yard completion for QB Carson Palmer in the 3rd

quarter, putting Palmer over 30,000 career passing yards.� 7-yard reception from Palmer later on the same drive to pick

WHERE HE RANKS On 4/2/13, the Cardinals acquired Pro Bowl QB Carson Palmerin a trade with the Oakland Raiders that involved swapping 2013 draft picks and a conditional pick in 2014. Following the trade, Palmer agreed to a three-year contract with the Cardinals. During his first four games in Arizona, Palmer has completed 87 of 152 pass attempts (57.2%) for 1,010 yards, four TDs and six INTs. Below is a look at where Palmer currently ranks among active NFL passers. Attempts Att.

ANOTHER COMEBACK FOR CARSON QB Carson Palmer helped engineer the Cards fourth quarter comeback against Tampa Bay last week, completing 7 of 12 attempts for 86 yards, a TD and a 108.3 passer rating in the final quarter. The win represented the 15th 4th quarter comeback of Palmer’s career and second with the Cardinals. It was also his sixth 4th quarter comeback on the road. Palmer’s two 4th quarter comebacks in 2013 match his total from all of 2012. His high for a season is three (2009). It marked just the third time in his career that Palmer has led his team back from as many as 10 down in the 4th quarter. He also led the Raiders back from 10 down (31-21) against the Steelers on 9/23/12 (34-31 final), and the Bengals back from 11 down (20-9) vs. Pittsburgh on 9/27/09 (23-20 final).

ART OF THE LONG BALL Dating back to 2004, Palmer’s first season as a starter in the NFL, few QBs have been as good at throwing the ball down the field as the Cardinals signal-caller. In that span, Palmer has thrown 22 TD passes of 50+ yards, fifth most in the NFL.

A BIG SEASON IN 2012 Palmer is coming off one of the best seasons of his career in ‘12, having completed 345 of 565 pass attempts (61.1%) for 4,018 yards, 22 TDs, 14 INTs and a passer rating of 85.3. Highlights From 2012 � Threw for 4,018 yards in 15 games, becoming just the second

QB in Raiders history to top 4,000 yards in a season, joining Rich Gannon who had 4,689 in his NFL MVP season of 2002.

� His 345 completions were the third-most in franchise history while his 85.3 passer rating represented the fourth-best mark of his career and highest since 2007.

� Palmer’s 2.5% INT-to-pass attempt ratio was the second-lowest of his career; in his Pro Bowl seasons of 2005 and ’06 he had INT ratios of 2.4 and 2.5, respectively.

� In weeks 9-11 of 2012 he threw for 300+ yards in three straight games for the first time in his career.

� Threw for 22 TD passes, his sixth season with 20 or more. � Palmer completed 61.1% of his pass attempts in 2012 marking

the 8th time in nine seasons as a starter that he finished the season with a completion percentage over 60.

STANTON IN THE NEST After the Cardinals hired Bruce Arians as the head coach in January, one of the first players he signed when free agency opened was QB Drew Stanton, who spent the 2012 season with him in Indianapolis. Stanton is in his seventh NFL season. During his first six NFL seasons, the 2007 second round draft pick by the Detroit Lions appeared in 12 games, with four starts. For his career, Stanton has completed 104 of 187 pass attempts for 1,158 yards, five TDs and nine INTs. Stanton last started in the NFL during the 2010 season with Detroit, finishing the year with a 2-1 record. A Quick Look at Stanton � Signed a three-year contract with the Cardinals on 3/13/13

as a free agent, reuniting with head coach Bruce Arians, who coached Stanton in Indianapolis in 2012.

� Threw a TD on his first NFL pass attempt (one-yard pass vs. Jacksonville in ’08), becoming just the second Lions QB ever to accomplish that feat (Chuck Long, 1986).

� Last NFL start came in a win over Tampa Bay on 12/19/10, when Stanton went 23 of 37 (62.2%) for 252 yards, a TD and a passer rating of 91.3.

SPREADING IT AROUND Palmer has completed passes to 13 different players this, the second-highest total of any QB in the NFL.

SOMETHING SPECIAL With the Cardinals trailing 21-19 in the fourth quarter, CB Justin Bethel made one of the game’s biggest plays, coming off the edge to block a 47-yard FG attempt by Lions K David Akers that kept the Cardinals within two points. It was the first blocked FG of Bethel’s career.

ZASTUDIL KEEPS PACE After establishing an NFL single-season record with 46 punts landing inside the 20-yard line in 2012, P Dave Zastudil has landed 14 punts inside the 20-yard line through four games this season, including three in last week’s game in Tampa Bay. Zastudil trails only Kansas City P Dustin Colquitt in that category, the player he outpaced for the record last season.

THE ACE CB Justin Bethel was selected by the Cards in the sixth round (177th overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft out of Presbyterian after he established a Big South record with nine blocked kicks. The first player drafted out of Presbyterian since 1969, coming from a small school hasn’t stopped Bethel from making an enormous impact on special teams during his time in Arizona. After totaling 14 special teams tackles and returning a blocked FG for a TD as a rookie last season, Bethel has wasted no time making his presence felt again this season. In the fourth quarter against the Lions in Week 2, he came off the edge and blocked a 47-yard FG attempt by Lions K David Akers that kept the Cardinals within two points. It was the first blocked FG of Bethel’s career but his second big play on special teams in four games. In Week 16 of ‘12 vs. Chicago, Bethel returned a blocked FG 82 yards for a TD.

Bethel returned with a huge special teams stop last week in Tampa Bay. After the Cards tied the game at 10 late in the fourth quarter, Bethel tackled RB Jeff Demps at the TB 10-yard line on the ensuing kickoff. After a sack of Glennon at the 1-yard line three plays later, the Bucs were forced to punt. Through four games, Bethel has recorded a blocked FG and leads the team with three special teams tackles.

FIELD POSITION MATTERS Thanks to the kicking of P Dave Zastudil and K Jay Feely,opponents have started 19 of 49 drives inside their own 20-yard line this season, the highest total in the NFL. NFL Leaders – Opp. Drives Started Inside Own 20 In20 Team Drives 19 Arizona 49 17 Buffalo 59 17 Kansas City 54 15 Houston 46 15 Tennessee 50

� On the 19 drives started inside their own 20-yard line, Cardinals opponents have committed four turnovers this season, tied with New England for the second-best total in the league behind Detroit (5).

� Through four games this season, Cardinals opponents have totaled 49 possessions. Due in large part to the kicking game, they have started the average drive at their own 22.7-yard line, the second-best total in the NFL behind Kansas City (20.6).

FEELY HITS 10TH GAME WINNER K Jay Feely connected on both FG attempts (42, 27 yards) in last week’s game against the Buccaneers, including a 27-yard FG with under two minutes remaining that proved to be the game-winner. The kick was Feely’s 10th game winning FG of his career and fifth as a member of the Cardinals. It was Feely’s first game-winning kick on the road since he hit a 34-yarder in OT at New England on 11/13/08 as a member of the Jets.

A LOOK AT THE LINE From proven veterans with over 100 starts under their belt to rookie, there are 10 offensive linemen on the Cardinals roster.

Missing from that group is 2013 first round draft pick G Jonathan Cooper, who suffered a broken fibula in the third preseason game against San Diego, which landed him on injured reserve. The six veterans who returned from the 2012 squad, including G Daryn Colledge, whose 116 consecutive games played rank as the second-longest streak in the NFL among offensive linemen. Returning Veterans Player Pos Exp GP/GS Daryn Colledge G 8th 116/112 Lyle Sendlein C 7th 91/81 Levi Brown T 7th 81/79 Mike Gibson G/C 6th 24/8 Bobby Massie T 2nd 16/16 Nate Potter T/G 2nd 11/6 Two veterans signed in the offseason came in and earned starting roles—8th year T Eric Winston and 4th year G PaulFanaika. T Bradley Sowell (Colts) was claimed off waivers after training camp and appeared in 10 games last season with Indianapolis. The last roster spot for a lineman was earned by 2013 fourth round (116th overall) NFL Draft pick G Earl Watford.

FIVE-DEEP IN THE BACKFIELD The Cardinals entered training camp in 2013 with a crowded backfield which consisted of five players vying for roster spots at RB. When the team’s 53-man roster was announced, all five backs had shown enough to the coaching staff in preseason that they each earned a place on the season-opening roster.

The group consists of fifth-year pro Rashard Mendenhall,fourth-year pro Alfonso Smith, third-year back Ryan Williamsand 2013 draft picks Stepfan Taylor and Andre Ellington.

“I like our running backs,” head coach Bruce Arians said of the decision to keep five RBs on the roster. “It’s one of the strengths of our whole football team, that position. We’re not going to weaken it at all.”

MENDENHALL MIXES IT UP When Arizona signed RB Rashard Mendenhall in the offseason, it brought in a back who has two 1,000-yard campaigns under his belt and who had averaged over four yards per carry and 29 TDs over his 864 career rushing attempts. Mendenhall has proven a valuable commodity so far for the Cardinals. He had his best game in Week 2 vs. Detroit, totaling 15 attempts for 66 yards (4.4 avg.), including a 1-yard TD run with under two minutes remaining that proved to be the game winner. He also added 28 receiving yards on two receptions. For Mendenhall, it marked his eighth career game (postseason included) with at least 65 rushing yards and 25 receiving yards. In those eight games, his teams have a 7-1 record and have won six straight.

Through the first four games this season, Mendenhall has 176 yards and a TD on 52 carries, averaging 3.4 yards per attempt.

ALL-AROUND ELLINGTON Through his first four games in the NFL, rookie RB Andre Ellington, the Cardinals second pick in the sixth round (187th

overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Clemson, has shown his ability as a triple-threat out of the backfield—as a blocker, a receiver and a runner. That held true again last week with Ellington totaling 29 rushing yards on four attempts (7.3 avg.) and 22 yards on three receptions (7.3 avg.). For the season, Ellington now has 202 all-purpose yards (68 rushing, 113 receiving, 21 KOR) on 21 touches. Ellington is averaging 9.6 yards per touch so far in 2013. Ellington’s 181 yards from scrimmage this season rank fifth in the NFL among rookies. Ellington and Cincinnati’s Giovani Bernard are the only RBs in the top five.

EARNING EVERY CARRY RB Alfonso Smith wasn’t a blue chip prospect coming out of the University of Kentucky, but that didn’t stop the Louisville native from earning a spot on the Cardinals roster for the fourth consecutive season—despite entering the league free agent. In a crowded backfield, Smith is listed second on the Cards depth chart behind Mendenhall. As a backup to Mendenhall, Smith has carried 16 times for 54 yards and a TD. He had his best game of the season in Week 3 at New Orleans, totaling 27 yards and a TD on three attempts, including a career-long 21-yard run in the first quarter. The TD was just the second of his career, and first since 10/23/11 vs. Pittsburgh.

Charles Woodson as the only defensive backs in the NFL with at least one sack in each of the last six seasons (2008-13).

WHAT TO LOOK FOR � With a win this week, the Cardinals would improve to 2-0 at home for the first time since the 2010 season and for the fourth time (2007, 08, 10) since University of Phoenix Stadium opened in 2006.

WR Larry Fitzgerald � With a TD reception this week, Fitzgerald would have at least four TD receptions through the first five games of a season for the first time since 2009 (5). He finished that season with a career-high 13 TD catches.

DE Calais Campbell � With a sack this week, Campbell would have at least one sack in five consecutive home games.

DT Darnell Dockett � With a sack this week, Dockett would have 40.0 career sacks and tie Bertrand Berry (2004-09) for the sixth-best total in franchise history.

WR Michael Floyd � With two catches this week, Floyd would have multiple receptions in 14 consecutive games.

LB John Abraham � With a sack this week, Abraham would have 10.0 career sacks against Carolina. That would match his total against Oakland, the team he has sacked more than any other in his career.� With a sack this week, Abraham would become the only active NFL player with at least 10.0 sacks against an opponent from each conference (10.0 Oak, 10.0 Car). � Abraham would become just sixth player to record 10.0+ sacks against two different opponents, with the other five doing so against teams from the same conference—Jared Allen (Chi, Det, GB), DeMarcus Ware (NYG, Phi, Was), Dwight Freeney (Hou, Jax, Ten), Terrell Suggs (Cle, Pit) and Julius Peppers (Det, TB).

P Dave Zastudil � With multiple punts inside the 20 this week, Zastduil would have multiple punts landed inside the 20 in 10 consecutive games, extending his career high.

S Yeremiah Bell � With a sack this week, Bell would have a sack in back-to-back games for the first time in his career.

CARDS CAPTAINS Prior to Week 1, Arizona announced the six team captains for the 2013 season as selected in a team vote. On offense, WR Larry Fitzgerald and QB Carson Palmerwere selected. For Fitzgerald, the 2013 season marks his fifth straight in the role. Palmer earned the distinction in his first season with the Cardinals. It marks the sixth time Palmer has been named a captain, also having earned the honor with the Raiders in 2012 and Bengals each season from 2007-10. On defense, DT Darnell Dockett and CB Patrick Petersonwere named captains. Dockett earned the title for the fourth time, after serving as a captain from 2009-11. Now in his third NFL season, Peterson is serving as a captain for the first time. Serving as special teams captains is K Jay Feely. Feely is serving as a captain for the second time in his career and second time as a member of the Cardinals, having also served in the role in 2011. The other special teams captain, LB Lorenzo Alexander, was placed on injured reserve on Monday (9/23) after suffering a foot injury last week against the Rams. The 2013 season was Alexander’s fourth consecutive season as a captain.


PETERSON AND THE PRO BOWL CB Patrick Peterson earned his second career Pro Bowl nod—and first as a cornerback—after leading the Cardinals with seven INTs in 2012.

Peterson earned a spot on the roster at CB for the NFC squad a year after earning Pro Bowl honors as a kick returner. In earning recognition as a CB in ’12, Peterson joined Hall of Famer Rod Woodson as the only two players ever selected to the Pro Bowl as both a defender and kick returner.

With the NFL announcing the Pro Bowl will no longer feature kick returners, Peterson and Woodson will remain the only two players in league history to accomplish that feat.

In earning Pro Bowl honors during his first two NFL seasons Peterson, who turned 23 in July, became just the ninth player in league annals selected to two Pro Bowls prior to the age of 23.

WILLIAMS REGISTERS A FIRST DT Dan Williams played over 40 games in his high school career, 45 games at the University of Tennessee and 40 games in the NFL before accomplishing what he did in the Cardinals season opener at St. Louis. With the Rams facing a 2nd-n-10 at their own 7-yard line in the third quarter, LB/DE Matt Shaughnessy tipped a Sam Bradford pass intended for TE Lance Kendricks at the two-yard line. Williams caught the deflected pass and returned it two yards for a TD—his first TD at any level of football. Williams became the first Cardinals defensive lineman to score a TD since Darnell Dockett’s 11-yard fumble return vs. St. Louis on 12/7/08. It was the first INT returned for a TD by a defensive lineman since Fred Wakefield’s 20-yard INT return vs. Detroit on 11/18/01.

A HALL OF FAME PERFORMANCE In addition to his duties as the team’s #1 CB—and covering All-Pro WR Calvin Johnson—Patrick Peterson flashed his abilities on offense in the Cardinals Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions. It was a performance so unique it landed Peterson in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. While playing on offense against the Lions, Peterson hauled in a 17-yard reception and threw a 17-yard pass to WR Kerry Taylor. The 17-yard reception was the fifth catch of Peterson’s career and his longest. His 17-yard pass to Taylor was the first pass attempt of his career. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Peterson became the first NFL defender to catch a pass and complete a pass in the same game since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger. To honor the accomplishment, the Pro Football Hall of Fame will commemorate Peterson’s record-setting day by displaying the gloves he wore in the game as well the football used in the pass completion to Taylor.

It is the second time in Peterson’s career that his game-used equipment has been sent to the Hall of Fame. During his rookie season in 2011, Peterson tied the NFL’s single-season record with four punt return TDs, including a 99-yard return to beat the Rams in OT on 11/6. His cleats from that game became a part of the Hall’s permanent collection. In the win, Peterson had four tackles, a pass defensed, a reception, a pass completion and three punt returns.

BIG IMPACT FROM MATHIEU One of the most electrifying players in college football during his days at LSU, S Tyrann Mathieu was known for his ability to create problems for opposing offenses. The Cardinals third round selection (69th overall) in the 2013 NFL Draft, it took Mathieu just over 12 minutes into his first NFL game to make one of the Cards biggest plays—and he has been doing the same since.

Mathieu Season Highlights Through four games, Mathieu has recorded 24 tackles, four passes defensed, a forced fumble and an INT. His 24 tackles are third on the team behind Karlos Dansby and Jasper Brinkley. His four passes defensed trail only starters Patrick Peterson (6) and Jerraud Powers (6) among DBs.

At St. Louis (Week 1) After Rams QB Sam Bradford hit TE Jared Cook over the middle for a big gain, Mathieu chased down the play and knocked the ball loose just as Cook was about to cross the goal line after a 47-yard gain. The ball rolled into the end zone where it was recovered by LB Karlos Dansby for a touchback, keeping the game scoreless in the first quarter.

Vs. Detroit (Week 2) Making his first career start, Mathieu finished the game with six tackles, a tackle for loss and a pass defensed in the win over the Lions. It was his fourth down tackle on WR Nate Burleson that left the Lions one-yard short of a first down (on a 4th-n-4 from the DET 43-yard line), ending the game and sealing the Cards 25-21 victory.

At New Orleans (Week 3) Finished second on the team with a season-high eight tackles and recorded an INT and a pass defensed. His INT came on the Saints first drive of the second half when he took away a Drew Brees pass intended for TE Jimmy Graham in the Arizona end zone, saving a TD.

At Tampa Bay (Week 4) Made his second career start against the Bucs, totaling five solo tackles, a tackle for loss and two QB pressures.


Cardinals fans looking to meet and bowl with their favorite players and coaches are able to enter the Kingpin Challenge. In addition to a competitive outing on the lanes, the Kingpin Challenge also features a dinner and silent auction that benefits Cardinals Charities. For the sixth consecutive year, the Kingpin Challenge is being held at Chandler’s Kyrene Lanes. This year’s event will be held on Monday, Oct. 21st. In 2012, 160 bowlers were grouped with a Cardinals player or coach for the tournament. Founded in 1990, Cardinals Charities mission is to support programs designed to improve the quality of life and enhance opportunities for children, women and minorities in Arizona.

Since its inception, Cardinals Charities has distributed more than $4.5 million to over 350 worthy Arizona charitable organizations on behalf of the Arizona Cardinals Football Club and the National Football League.

THREE TAKEDOWNS FOR DOCKETT Cardinals DT Darnell Dockett totaled three sacks of Saints QB Drew Brees in Week 3. It was his second career regular season game with at least three sacks and first since 11/29/09 at Tennesee. Dockett also had three sacks in Super Bowl XLIII vs. Pittsburgh on 2/1/09. With his three sacks against New Orleans, Dockett (39.0) passed Al Baker (37.5) for seventh place on the Cards career sacks list. He now trails DE Bertrand Berry (40.0) for sixth place and ranks second in franchise history for sacks among DTs, trailing only Eric Swann (45.5) Franchise Record – Career Sacks Sacks Player, Years 66.0 Freddie Joe Nunn, DE, 1985-93 53.5 Simeon Rice, DE, 1996-2000 50.5 Curtis Greer, DE, 1980-88 47.5 Ken Harvey, LB, 1988-93 45.5 Eric Swann, DT, 1991-99 40.0 Bertrand Berry, DE, 2004-09 39.0 Darnell Dockett, DT, 2004-37.5 Al Baker, DE, 1983-86 37.0 David Galloway, DT, 1982-89 28.5 Calais Campbell, DE, 2009- Through four games this season, Dockett is tied with Dallas’ Jason Hatcher, Tennessee’s Jurrell Casey and Buffalo’s Marcell Dareus for the league lead in sacks among DTs. 2013 NFL Leaders – Sacks Among DTs Sacks Player (Team) 3.0 Darnell Dockett (Arizona)

DANSBY AGAIN LEADING THE WAY At 32 years old and in his 10th NFL season, LB Karlos Dansby is putting up impressive numbers in his return to Arizona. After posting nine tackles last week in Tampa, Dansby has recorded team-highs with 41 tackles and six passes defensed, while adding three tackles for loss, a fumble recovery and two QB hits. Dansby recorded a season-high 12 tackles in Week 3 at New Orleans, giving him double-digit tackles in four consecutive games and in five of six games dating back to last season. He had 10 tackles in the first three games this season, matching his total (3) from all the entire 2012 season.

The Return Arizona selected Dansby with the first pick of the second round (33rd overall) in 2004 and he spent six seasons in Arizona before signing with Miami as a free agent prior to the 2010 season. In his first six seasons with the Cardinals, Dansby appeared in 90 games (83 starts) and all six postseason matchups. He totaled 623 tackles, 25.5 sacks, 10 INTs, 27 passes defensed, 13 forced fumbles and nine fumble recoveries. In postseason play, he added 51 tackles, an INT, five passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Dansby made his return to the Valley when he signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals on 5/10/13 as a free agent. Now back in Arizona, Dansby is one of 11 players selected in the 2004 Draft that is currently with the team that selected them. WR Larry Fitzgerald and DT Darnell Dockett are also members of the ’04 class that remain with the Cardinals. Arizona is now the only team with three ’04 draft picks on its current roster.

30 and 10 For his career, Dansby has 31.5 sacks and 11 INTs, joining Washington’s London Fletcher as the only players in the NFL with at least 30 career sacks and 10 career INTs.

UP FRONT Since he was selected by Arizona in 2004, All-Pro DT Darnell Dockett has evolved into one of the most dominant DTs in football, earning three Pro Bowl nods, and appearing in more games (146) than any other player at his position. Since 2007, no DT in the NFL has more sacks than Dockett.

THE MISSING PIECE Cardinals S Rashad Johnson left the team’s Week 3 game against the Saints with a little less of himself after he lost the end of his left middle finger while he attempted a tackle of New Orleans RB Darren Sproles during a punt return.Originally thinking he broke the finger, Johnson noticed blood soaking his glove. After trainers cut off a portion of the glove, he realized that his finger was “pretty much severed” at the top and still inside his now-removed glove. The fifth-year safety took the gruesome injury in stride. “Guys end up with bad biceps, bad shoulders, bad fingers,” Johnson said. “It’s a part of the game that a lot of the fans don’t get an opportunity to see. They think it’s a fun game we get to go out and play, which it is, but it does requires high risk and that’s something we have to accept. When our team needs us on the next Sunday, if we can play we need to dress up and do it. It’s our job.” The injury forced Johnson to miss last week’s game in Tampa Bay, which was just the second game he has missed in the last four seasons.

WASHINGTON RETURNS The Cardinals defense gets a Pro Bowl boost this week with the return of LB Daryl Washington from a four-game suspension. The fourth-year LB is coming off back-to-back seasons as the team’s leading tackler. In addition to leading the team with 140 tackles in 2012, Washington also led the way with a career-high nine sacks and 14 tackles for loss. He also pitched in an INT, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, six passes defensed and 14 QB pressures in 2012. For his efforts, Washington was selected to his first career Pro Bowl, becoming the first Cardinals LB since 1994 to earn Pro Bowl honors and the first ILB to do so since E.J. Junior in 1985.

Washington’s 9.0 sacks in 2012 were more than any other ILB in the NFL and ranked as the highest total for an ILB since Bart Scott posted 9.5 sacks in 2006 as a member of the Ravens. Washington’s 9.0 sacks were just one shy of tying the franchise record for a LB, with the current record being held by Ken Harvey, who totaled 10.0 sacks in 1990.

Back-to-Back� With 2.0 sacks each in Weeks 7 and 8, became the first Cards player to record multiple sacks in back-to-back games since Eric Swann did so in 1999.

CALAIS CAMPBELL – THE ALL-JOE DE Calais Campbell is now in his seventh NFL season, and the work he put in during his first six seasons in the league—both on defense and on special teams—has earned him a near perennial spot on USA Today’s All-Joe list.

What is the All-Joe team? USA Today started the list in 1992 to honor “first rate players that receive second-rate recognition.” No player more defines that description than Campbell, and he was named to the USA Today All-Joe team in 2009, 2011 and 2012.

With a workman-like attitude, Campbell has put together an outstanding resume that rivals many at his position, with a unique skill on special teams that adds another dimension. � At 6-8, Campbell’s height has worked to his

advantage—he tied for the NFL lead in both passes defensed (11) and blocked field goals (3) in 2011. He has six career blocked field goals and his 18 passes defensed between (2011-12) trail only Houston’s J.J. Watt (20).

� Led the Cardinals in sacks for three straight years (2009-11) and posted at least 60 tackles and six sacks in three straight seasons (2010-12).

� After winning NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors in the Week 2 victory over the New England Patriots in ‘12, Campbell became the first player in team history to win Player of the Week honors in two different categories. He was also chosen as the Special Teams Player of the Week following a Week 2 victory against Jacksonville in 2009.

CARDS LOSE THREE LINEBACKERS In the loss to New Orleans in Week 3, starting LBs Lorenzo Alexander and Sam Acho and rookie LB Alex Okafor all suffered injuries that landed them on injured reserve, ending their seasons.

Alexander, a team captain who is in his first year with the Cardinals, suffered a foot injury early in the contest. Alexander had not missed a contest since the 2008 season finale, a streak of 67 games.

Acho suffered a broken fibula, ending his third NFL season. He had appeared in all 35 games since the Cardinals selected him in the fourth round (103rd overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft.

BELL GETS 13TH CAREER SACK S Yeremiah Bell recorded his 13th career sack, and first as a member of the Cardinals, when he took down Tampa Bay’s Mike Glennon for an 11-yard loss in the first quarter. With the takedown, Bell joins Oakland’s Charles Woodson as the only defensive backs in the NFL with at least one sack in each of the last six seasons (2008-13). Dating back to 2005, only Adrian Wilson (22.5) and Roman Harper (17.) have more sacks than Bell’s 13.0.

The sack was Bell’s first since 12/17/12 at Tennessee.

SIGN AND SACK One of the biggest plays for the Cards defense last week came courtesy of LB Dontay Moch, who signed to the active roster earlier in the week after three LBs landed on injured reserve.

Playing in just his second career NFL game, Moch took down Bucs QB Mike Glennon for a nine-yard loss on 3rd-n-10 late in the fourth quarter. The sack forced the Bucs to punt from their own 1-yard line and the Cards took over at the Tampa Bay 38-yard line following the punt—and went on to kick the winning FG on the ensuing drive.

A Phoenix native who attended Hamilton High School in Chandler, Moch was the Bengals third round selection (66th overall) in the 2011 NFL Draft, and joined the Cardinals practice squad following training camp. Moch finished last week’s game with two tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss, two QB hits and a special teams tackle.


THE LEADER On the day the Cardinals reported to training camp to begin the 2013 season (7/25), the team signed LB John Abraham to a two-year contract. With the signing, Arizona added the NFL’s active sacks leader, with Abraham piling up 122.0 sacks in a career that dates back to 2000.

Since sacks became an official stat in 1982, only 29 players have recorded at least 100 career sacks. With 122.0 career sacks, Abraham is tied with Simeon Rice for 13th place on the NFL’s all-time sacks list.

Only 15 players have recorded 120+ sacks in their career, with Abraham being the only active player on the list. Of those 15, eight are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Abraham is the only active player in the NFL with at least a partial sack against all 32 NFL teams.

A CONSISTENT ATTACK LB John Abraham has recorded at least 10.0 sacks in a season seven times in his NFL career, with the most recent double-digit sack campaign coming in 2012 as a member of the Falcons (10.0). Abraham’s highest output came in 2008 when he established the Falcons franchise single-season record with 16.5 sacks.No active NFL player has more seasons with at least 10.0 sacks than Abraham’s seven. He is one of just 16 players in NFL history to accomplish the feat and he joins Jared Allen, Dwight Freeney, Julius Peppers and DeMarcus Ware as the only active players with seven seasons of 10.0+ sacks. Abraham’s nine seasons with at least 9.0 sacks are tied for the fifth-best total in NFL history. Of the nine players in NFL history to accomplish the feat, six are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

SUPER BOWL RETURNING TO ARIZONA On October 11, 2011, following a very competitive bidding process, the NFL owners awarded Super Bowl XLIX to Arizona as the nation’s biggest sporting event will be held at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale following the 2015 season.

“It’s going to be huge for tourism, our economic development and our visibility not only in the United States but around the world,” said Cardinals President Michael Bidwill.Super Bowl XLIX will be the third Super Bowl played in Arizona and the second one at University of Phoenix Stadium. The Cardinals home played host to Super Bowl XLII between the NY Giants and New England Patriots following the 2007 season and Arizona first hosted the Super Bowl following the 1995 season. Super Bowl XLII brought 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. Arizona becomes one of just six host sites to be selected to host the Super Bowl at least three times.

Game 1 RAMS 27, CARDINALS 24

September 8, 2013 – Edward Jones Dome (55,279) In the regular season opener and debut of new head coach Bruce Arians, the Cardinals were in prime position for a key road division win. Larry Fitzgerald’s second TD reception of the day from new QB Carson Palmer put AZ up 11 late in the 3rd. However, the Rams would come back to tie it and then secured the victory on Greg Zuerlein’s 48-yard FG with 0:40 left. Palmer was sharp in his Cards debut throwing for 327 yards and 2 TDs. He was helped by his trio of talented WRs: Fitzgerald (8-80, 2TDs), Andre Roberts (8-97) and Michael Floyd (4-82). It looked like the Rams would strike first when Sam Bradford hit TE Jared Cook with a long completion down the middle late in the 1st quarter; 8 yards from the end zone, rookie safety Tyrann Mathieu hustled to poke the ball out from behind and LB Karlos Dansby recovered for a touchback. From there the Cards moved 80 yards in 8 plays, the biggest of which was a 1-handed catch by Floyd that covered 44 yards. That set-up a 1-yard Palmer to Fitzgerald fade pass TD for the opening score. The Rams & Cards then traded FGs on the next two drives to make it 10-3 AZ. Bradford would then tie it on his 13-yard TD pass to Cook with :26 left in the half. That was enough time for the Cards to efficiently move into position for a 50-yard FG try but Jay Feely’s attempt was wide right. On the 3rd snap after intermission CB Trumaine Johnson picked off Palmer and returned the INT to the AZ 4; the Cardinals defense held them to a FG by allowing minus-3 yards in 3 plays. After an AZ punt pinned the Rams at their own 7, the Arizona D stepped up again when DE/LB Matt Shaughnessy batted a Bradford pass in the air and NT Dan Williams hauled it in at the 2 and took it into the end zone for a TD. Up 17-13, Palmer then led the Cards on an 11-play, 83-yard drive that he ended with a 24-yard TD pass to Fitzgerald on 3rd down that made it 24-13 with 1:47 left in the 3rd.The Rams answered with an 80-yard drive capped off by Bradford’s 1-yard TD toss to Cook; that along with a 2-point conversion cut the AZ lead to 3. It was in serious peril a short time later when Palmer was sacked by Quinn, causing a fumble the Rams recovered at the AZ22 with 10:38 left. Arizona’s D again responded holding STL to just 2 yards and a 38-yard game-tying FG. Each side would get the ball back twice more. The Rams capitalized just after the 2:00 warning by moving 50 yards into position for the game-winning FG.

Game 2 CARDINALS 25, Lions 21

September 15, 2013 – University of Phoenix Stadium (60,324) In a back and forth affair, the Cardinals found themselves down 21-16 late in the 3rd quarter in their home opener against Detroit. From there Arizona would score on 3 of its next 4 drives to earn the team’s first win under new head coach Bruce Arians. Kicker Jay Feely was 4-4 on field goals (47, 23, 43, 33) while a pair of newcomers chipped in with TDs. Rookie RB Andre Ellington hauled in a 36-yard TD pass from Carson Palmer in the 2nd quarter and RB Rashard Mendenhall scored the go-ahead TD from a yard out with 1:59 to play. All-Pro WR Larry Fitzgerald was questionable with a hamstring injury but answered the bell to start and contribute but was forced to exit in the 2nd half. WR Kerry Taylor, who was elevated from the practice squad the day before, came in to catch 3 passes for 40 yards in his 1st NFL action. Punter Dave Zastudil and the Cards special teams units were outstanding pinning the Lions deep in their end most of the afternoon. The victory was Arizona’s 5th

straight over the Lions and evened the team’s season record at 1-1. The game was scoreless until Feely’s 47-yard FG early in the 2nd made it 3-0. Two snaps later, Matthew Stafford hit Calvin Johnson on a short crossing pattern that the all-pro took 72 yards for a score. The Cards answered with a 6-play, 80-yard drive that ended on Ellington’s TD catch down the left sideline. Detroit bettered that on the next series with an even-longer drive (10 plays, 92 yards) and a 3-yard Stafford-to-Johnson TD that made it 14-10 at the half. Early the in the 3rd, DE Calais Campbell recovered a Reggie Bush fumbled handoff at the DET7 but the Cards had to settle for a Feely FG. Midway through the quarter, Lions LB DeAndre Levy INT’d a Palmer pass and returned it 66 yards for a TD that made it 21-13. Arizona added Feely FGs on its next two possessions (43 & 33 yarders) to cut the deficit to 21-19. Midway thru the 4th quarter special teams ace Justin Bethel blocked David Akers’ 47-yard FG to keep it a 2-point game. With 4:28 to go, Arizona took over at its own 39 and on the 1st play Ellington gained 16 to the DET45. Later on the drive the Cards faced a 3rd-n-8 at the 32 when Andre Roberts was interfered with by Bill Bentley on a deep pass giving the Cards a 1st-n-goal at the 1. Two plays later Mendenhall punched it in with 1:59 remaining. With 1:15 left the Lions had a 4th-n-4 at their own 43 when rookie S Tyrann Mathieu tackled WR Nate Burleson a yard short of the 1st down to seal the game.

Game 3 SAINTS 31, CARDINALS 7

September 22, 2013 – Mercedes-Benz Superdome (73,057) The Cardinals (1-1) traveled to New Orleans to take on the 2-0 Saints in one of the NFL’s more challenging venues for visitors. Nonetheless, Arizona received the opening kickoff and moved 80 yards in 11 plays. QB Carson Palmer completed 4 of 5 passes for 44 yards and RB Alfonso Smith put the Cards up 7-0 with his 3-yard TD run. New Orleans answered quickly, responding with its own 80-yard scoring drive. Most of that yardage came via Drew Brees completions, including a 27-yard game-tying TD pass to WR Robert Meachem. Each team would possess the ball six more times before halftime. All of Arizona’s ended with a Dave Zastudil punt. Of the six New Orleans drives, four ended with punts and one ended when time ran out in the second quarter. The other, however, was a 6-play, 58-yard scoring drive that Brees capped with a 16-yard TD pass to TE Jimmy Graham that put New Orleans up 14-7 at intermission. The Saints took the opening kickoff of the 2nd half and marched to the AZ29 before Cards rookie safety (and New Orleans native) Tyrann Mathieu intercepted Brees’ 3rd-n-10 pass in the end zone. While the Arizona offense could not find its rhythm, New Orleans added 10 points on consecutive drives with a 31-yard Garrett Hartley FG and a 5-yard Brees TD run on 3rd-n-goal. Trailing 24-7 early in the 4th, the Cardinals desperately needed a score. Palmer completions to Larry Fitzgerald (26 yards) and Michael Floyd (13 & 20) quickly moved the team to the New Orleans 19. However, Palmer’s pass attempt to TE Rob Housler was intercepted by Saints rookie safety Kenny Vaccaro. New Orleans converted that takeway into another Brees-to-Graham TD pass that made it 31-7 and proved to be the final margin. Foremost among the thoughts of the Cardinals on this afternoon was starting NT Dan Williams, who missed the game after his father Thomas was killed in a car accident traveling from Memphis to New Orleans to watch his son. Fellow DT Darnell Dockett stepped up to record three of Arizona’s four sacks of Brees, matching a career high. During the game, Arizona’s defense lost two starting LBs to injury, Lorenzo Alexander (foot) and Sam Acho (leg). They also lost S Rashad Johnson late in the 2nd

quarter when he suffered an injury to his finger that would cause him to lose a portion of it.

Game 4 CARDINALS 13, BUCCANEERS 10

September 29, 2013 – Raymond James Stadium (44,956) In a game each team needed badly, the Cardinals were shut out thru 3 quarters on a steamy, late September afternoon in Tampa. But rather than wilt in the FL sun, Arizona came to life late, taking advantage of 3 Buccaneer turnovers to erase Tampa’s 10-point 4th quarter lead and emerge with the victory. It was the first time in over 14 years (9/12/99 at Philly) that the Cards overcame a double-digit 4th quarter deficit to win on the road. An injury-ravaged Arizona defense turned in an incredible effort limiting the NFL’s 2nd leading rusher Doug Martin to 45 yards on 27 carries; it also came up with three 4th quarter takeaways including a pair of INTs from All-Pro CB Patrick Peterson in the game’s final 4 minutes. The win evened Arizona’s record at 2-2 while Tampa fell to 0-4. After playing in New Orleans the previous Sunday, the Cardinals spent the week leading up to the game practicing in nearby Bradenton. On Arizona’s 2nd offensive series of the game, RB Rashard Mendenhall fumbled and DT Gerald McCoy recovered at the AZ41. The Bucs capitalized when rookie QB Mike Glennon – who was elevated to the starting job over Josh Freeman earlier in the week - hit WR Mike Williams for an 8-yard TD. Late in the 2nd quarter Tampa moved 61 yards in 14 plays and Rian Lindell’s 50-yarder with 0:27 left in the first half made it 10-0 Bucs at intermission. On their opening drive of the 2nd half the Cards marched from their own 8 to the TB15 thanks in large part to Carson Palmer passes to Larry Fitzgerald (3-41) and Michael Floyd (2-41). However, Palmer’s attempt to Floyd in the end zone was intercepted by rookie DB Johnthan Banks. On their next offensive series, the Cards moved to the TB33 but Palmer’s 1st down attempt to Fitzgerald was picked off along the sideline by CB Darrelle Revis. Early in the 4th Tampa had a 10-0 lead and the ball at the AZ 48 when Martin fumbled a hand-off and LB Matt Shaughnessy recovered at midfield. That takeaway led to a 42-yard Jay Feely FG that made it 10-3. After the teams traded punts, Tampa had it deep in its own territory clinging to a 7-point lead. Facing a 2nd-n-6 at his own 11, Glennon tried to hit Vincent Jackson across the middle but Peterson picked it off setting AZ up at the TB13. On the next snap, Fitzgerald beat Revis and Palmer hit him in the end zone for the game-tying score. Arizona’s kickoff coverage then pinned Tampa at its own 10 on and on a 3rd down play from there, newly-acquired Cards LB Dontay Moch sacked Glennon for a 9-yard loss back to the 1. After the punt, Arizona took over at the TB38 with 1:56 left and the game tied at 10. On 1st down Palmer hit rookie WR Jaron Brown with a 19-yard completion down the right sideline and a personal foul penalty on Dashon Goldson moved it to the 9. Four plays later, a short FG by the Tampa-native Feely made it 13-10 with 1:29 left. On the ensuing drive the Bucs advanced to their own 41 with :56 left before Peterson sealed the game with his 2nd INT in a little over 3 minutes. CARDINALS 0 0 0 13 13 BUCCANEERS 7 3 0 0 10 Team Qtr.
