CARDINALS 34, Seahawks 31December 24, 2016 – CenturyLink Field (69,050)

This week 16 Christmas eve game in Sea le was a match-up of teams in diff erent situa ons. The Cards had been eliminated from postseason conten on the week before while Sea le had a #2 seed and fi rst-round bye on the line. But an Arizona team depleted on both sides of the ball built an early lead thanks to a smothering defense that sacked Russell Wilson 5 mes in the 1st half. They would lose the lead late but rally to hand SEA its only home loss of the season. Carson Palmer played a turnover free-game and was sacked just once behind a makeshi off ensive line that helped the off ense score 34 points against a Sea le D ranked #2 in the NFL in points allowed (16.8). RB David Johnson would score 3 mes to set franchise single-season records for overall and rushing TDs. He also gained over 100 scrim-

mage yards for the 15th straight game to e Barry Sanders’ NFL record. Calais Campbell provided the game’s 1st big play on SEA’s opening drive when he recovered a fumble

at the SEA23. An 11-yard JJ Nelson catch took it to the 2 and Johnson ran it in from there. Late in the 1st, DT Rodney Gunter blocked Steven Hauschka’s 45-yard FG try to preserve the 7-0 lead. It remained that way un l late in the 2nd when Palmer went deep to JJ Nelson for an 80-yard TD pass, the longest by an opponent at CenturyLink Field. Down 14-0, the Seahawks responded. A play a er a 31-yard Doug Baldwin comple on moved it to the AZ29, Wilson completed a pass to WR Tyler Locke that was ini- ally ruled a TD but a er replay review was spo ed at the 1. From there the Cards D stopped SEA on 3

straight plays se ng up 4th-n-goal from the 1. SEA went for it but Gunter knifed up the middle to drop Wilson for a 7-yard loss. Two plays later, a fl awed exchange led to a fumble that SEA recovered at the AZ9 with :32 le in the half. The AZ defense again rose up and a er 3 straight incomple ons, Hauschka’s 27-yard FG made it 14-3 at intermission.

Late in the 3rd, Alex Okafor blocked a SEA punt and on the ensuing series Johnson’s 1-yard TD run capped a 9-play, 61-yard drive to make it 21-10. Sea le answered when Baldwin turned in a 42-yard catch-n-run for a TD that closed it to 21-18 with 6:47 le . On the next 2 plays from scrimmage, John-son ran 33 yards to the SEA42 and Nelson took a 41-yard catch to the 1; Johnson’s 3rd rushing TD of the game again made it a 10-point game. The Cards then stopped SEA on a 4th-n-1 from their own 42 and it led to a 42-yard Catanzaro FG that made it 31-18. Down 13, the Seahawks stormed back. Jimmy Graham’s 37-yard TD catch-n-run cut it to 6 with 2:48 to go and then Wilson found WR Paul Richardson with a 5-yard TD pass. However, Hauschka’s PAT missed wide le and the game remained ed at 31 with a minute le . AZ would take over at its own 25 and 1 meout. A pair of Johnson recep ons then covered 13 & 29 yards while an 8-yard catch by Larry Fitzgerald took it to the SEA25. With the clock running down, Catanzaro rushed onto the fi eld and hit the game-winner from 43 yards as me expired. CARDINALS 7 7 0 20 34 Seahawks 0 3 7 21 31Team Qtr.

The Cardinals season fi nale is also a homecoming of sorts for QB Carson Palmer and DT Frostee Rucker. Both are from the Los Angeles area and at-tended USC, where they played at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum. Today will mark their fi rst game back at the stadium since their college careers ended more than a decade ago.Palmer, a na ve of Rancho Santa Mar-garita, went to USC from 1998-2002 and le as one of the premier players in the school’s decorated history. He set more than 20 school records during his career with the Trojans, and became the fi h player (and fi rst QB) in program history to win the Heisman Trophy when he re-ceived the award as a senior in 2002.Overall, Palmer played in 53 games and threw for 11,818 yards and 72 TDs on 927-of-1,569 passing during his fi ve years as a Trojan, ending his college career as the Pac-10 Conference’s all- me leader in passing yards, total off ense, comple ons and a empts. As a senior, he helped start USC’s run of seven consecu ve BCS bowl appearances when he led the team to an 11-2 record and a victory in the Orange Bowl. Prior to this week’s game, Palmer’s last appearance at the Coliseum was a memorable one, as he went 32-of-46 for 425 yards and four TDs to lead the sixth-ranked Trojans to a dominant 44-13 win over No. 7 Notre Dame on Nov. 30, 2002.The win secured their Orange Bowl bid and helped propel Palmer to the Heisman Trophy.Rucker, a Tus n na ve, played at USC from 2002-05, si ng out his fi rst season as a transfer from Colorado State before helping the Trojans go 37-2 over his three years of ac on. They went 12-1 and earned a share of the na onal championship in 2003, fi nished 13-0 and won another na onal tle in 2004 and had a 12-0 regular season in

2005 before losing the BCS Championship Game to Texas. Rucker’s last game at the Coliseum was on Dec. 3, 2005 when he started at defensive end and helped the Trojans earn a 66-19 victory over No. 11 UCLA to clinch their spot in the na onal championship game.

Second-year WR J.J. Nelson had three recep ons for 132 yards (44.0-yard avg.) against the Seahawks last week, in-cluding a career-long 80-yard TD catch in the second quarter. Last week's performance marked Nelson’s second career 100-yard game and fi rst since he posted 142 yards vs. Cincin-na on 11/22/15.SEVEN TDS IN THE LAST EIGHT GAMES FOR NELSONA er hauling in an 80-yard TD recep on last week, Nelson now has a career-high seven TDs (6 receiving, 1 rushing) in 2016. All seven of those TDs have come in the last eight games. Nelson has over three mes as many TDs in his last eight games (7) than he had in his previous 17 career games (2). With injuries hi ng the Cardinals WR corps, Nelson has been given a bigger role in the off ense and has responded with his produc on. He has 26 recep ons for 442 yards and six receiving TDs in the last eight games - a er totaling just four recep ons for 35 yards in his fi rst fi ve games played this season (missed Week 2 with a shoulder injury). NELSON'S HISTORIC GAME VS. THE DOLPHINSNelson had a 56-yard TD run in the fi rst quarter and an eight-yard TD recep on in the fourth quarter against the Dolphins in Week 14. The TD run was the fi rst of his career and it ed Bobby Joe Conrad (56-yarder on 9/27/59 vs. Washington) for the longest TD run in franchise history by a wide receiver.Nelson became the fi rst Cardinals WR since Mal Kutner (10/24/48 vs. Boston) to post a rushing TD and receiving TD in the same game.NELSON SHINES WHEN CALLED UPON AS A ROOKIENelson seizing his opportuni es this season isn't a surprise, as he did the exact same thing as a rookie in 2015, when he saw an increased role against the Bengals in Week 11 due to an injury to WR Michael Floyd. Nelson responded with four recep ons for a game-high 142 yards (35.5 avg.) against Cincinna , including a 64-yard TD catch in the third quarter. Nelson’s 142 receiving yards were the most by a rookie in a game in 2015. 2015 NFL Rookie Leaders – Receiving Yards (Game) Rnk Player (Team) Yds Opponent1 J.J.

WR John Brown has fought through an injury-plagued 2016 campaign - his third in the NFL - da ng back to a concussion he suff ered in training camp. In October it was discovered that Brown carries the sickle-cell trait and the com-plica ons that have arisen from that diagnosis have limited his availability in the last two months. Brown missed the Week 7 contest vs. Sea le and was forced out of the Cardinals Week 12 game in Atlanta. It also signifi cantly limited his playing me the last four weeks. So far this season, Brown is ed for third on the team with 37 recep ons and ranks fourth with 492 receiving yards.

The Cardinals have been in the Bidwill family since Pro Football Hall of Famer Charles Bidwill purchased the team in 1933. Charles’ son Bill handled day-to-day opera ons for decades before passing the torch to his son, Michael, who is now in his 10th season as team President. Since Michael Bidwill took over as President in 2007, the Cards have gone .500 or be er in seven of nine seasons (just twice in previous 20 years) and posted four double-digit win seasons (none in previous 20). The 2015 season was a banner year for the organiza on as the team won the NFC West, set a franchise record for wins in the regular season (13) and earned the fi rst postseason bye in team history.Of the Cardinals seven all- me postseason wins, fi ve have come during Bidwill’s nine years as team President. Arizona has played in nine post-season contests since Bidwill took over in 2007. The Cardinals played just seven total playoff games in their en re history prior to his tenure. Michael spearheaded the eff ort that led to the crea on of University of Phoenix Stadium, which preceded that aforemen oned run of on-fi eld suc-cess. The Cardinals have sold out all 114 games played (preseason and post-season included) and the stadium since it opened in 2006; in 18 years at Sun Devil Stadium, just 12 games were sold out in me to be televised locally. The Cardinals success under Bidwill has greatly elevated the team’s popu-larity both locally and na onally. That fact is best measured in the record-se ng ra ngs for Cardinals game broadcasts. Locally, the team established a host of franchise record for the TV broadcasts in both 2015 and 2014. Na- onally, the team’s exposure is at an all- me high. Having never appeared in

more than three prime mes games in a single season, the Cardinals played an unprecedented fi ve prime me games during the 2015 regular season and posted a perfect 5-0 record those matchups. Michael was also the driving force behind the cri cally-acclaimed series “All Or Nothing” that debuted on Amazon Video in July of this year. Michael was pivotal not only in helping Arizona land Super Bowl XLIX - the second in eight seasons at University of Phoenix Stadium – but he also se-cured the 2015 Pro Bowl. Played a week apart, the game delivered a record economic impact of $720 million to the region.

The Cardinals posted three consecu ve 10+ win seasons in Steve Keim’s fi rst three years as GM. As soon as he was elevated to the posi on in January of 2013, Keim began re-shaping the roster. The overhaul during his fi rst three years was drama c – and resulted in a 34-14 record in that span. During his fi rst 36 months as GM, Keim made 592 roster moves, includ-ing 182 moves in 2015 as the Cards established a franchise record for wins (13). He was named Pro Football Talk’s Execu ve of the Year in both 2013 and 2014, and added Spor ng News Execu ve of the Year in 2014. The 2015 campaign was one of the most successful seasons in franchise history. In addi on to establishing a record for wins, the team also set franchise marks for total off ense, points scored and total TDs. Arizona had the NFL’s #1 ranked off ense last season, and the Cardinals fi nished with a defense that ranked in the top fi ve as well. The roster that has accomplished those feats was built from the ground up by Keim and his staff . KEIM DEALING WITH CHANGESThe Cardinals roster has been hit hard by injuries in 2016. Arizona has had 29 players combine to miss 141 total games to injury and Keim been busy re-shuf-fl ing the roster all season. As of this week, the Cardinals have made a total of 227roster moves da ng back to January. That includes having placed seven of the Cardinals Week 1 starters on injured reserve.

S Tyrann Mathieu had started every game this season and had just recently begun to display the form that made him a Defensive Player of the Year candidate in 2015 when he suff ered a shoulder injury vs. the Panthers in Week 8 that resulted in him missing four games and ul mately ge ng him placed on injured reserve last week. Working his way back from the knee injury that ended his 2015 campaign early, Mathieu began playing his normal safety spot closer to the line of scrimmage for the fi rst me in Week 5 at San Francisco. In the Cardinals victory over the Jets in Week 7 he led the team with six tackles, two passes defensed and also recorded his fi rst INT of the 2016 campaign. In his fi rst game back from the shoulder injury at Atlanta in Week 12, Mathieu registered two tackles, a tackle for loss, a sack and a pass defensed in perhaps his most produc ve ou ng of the season. However, he re-injured the shoulder in prac ce, forcing him out of ac on for two games. He returned vs. New Or-leans, but the injury has ul mately ended his season.All-Pro Season Cut Short in 2015Mathieu had an All-Pro season in ‘15 despite the torn ACL he suff ered while recording an INT at Philly in Week 15. Mathieu was named to his fi rst career Pro Bowl and earned fi rst-team All-Pro honors from the Associated Press. In 14 games played last season, Mathieu registered 89 tackles, a team-high 16 passes defensed, 5 INTs (TD), 11 tackles for loss and a forced fumble.

Jeff erson's 92 tackles this season set a new career high.

In last week's game at Sea le, Jeff erson suff ered a knee injury that will force him to miss the season fi nale in Los Angeles this week. Originally signed by the Cardinals as a rookie free agent out of Oklahoma in 2013, Jeff erson has appeared in every game (63 regular season; 3 postseason) during his fi rst three-plus NFL seasons. This Sunday's game against the Rams will be the fi rst missed game of his career.A BIG VOID IN THE SECONDARYJeff erson is another big loss for the Cardinals secondary.

Game 2 CARDINALS 40, Buccaneers 7

September 18, 2016 – University of Phoenix Stadium (64,230)

The Cardinals evened their record at 1-1 thanks to a 33-point home win over Tampa Bay. It was scoreless after one quarter but AZ exploded for 24 straight in the 2nd thanks to Carson Palmer TD passes to 3 different receivers and a FG. In all the Cards enjoyed a 5-0 edge in takeaways (4 Jameis Winston INTs and a fumble). The defensive hero was CB Marcus Cooper, who was acquired by the Cards in a trade with KC 16 days earlier. The 4th year player recorded a pair of INTs, including one that he returned 60 yards for a TD. Larry Fitzgerald led all receivers with 6 catches for 81 yards and a TD while David Johnson had 143 scrimmage yards (98 receiving & 45 rushing). Palmer recorded win #30 in his 40th game as Cardinals starter and moved into 16th on the NFL’s all-time passing yardage list passing Joe Montana The first of AZ’s 5 total takeaways came on Tampa’s opening drive of the game when Patrick Peterson picked a Winston deep pass intended for Mike Evans at the goal-line. Six seconds into the 2nd quarter, Fitzgerald’s 4-yard TD catch opened the scoring. On the 2nd play of the next series, Winston’s pass intended for Vincent Jackson was INT’d by Cooper who returned it to the TB19 and set-up a 22-yard Chandler Catanzaro FG. Down 10-0, the Bucs advanced to the AZ29 with 3:06 left before halftime and faced a 2nd-n-9. However Winston had the ball jarred loose in the pocket by a teammate and S Tony Jefferson recovered at the AZ32. A key 27-yard completion to WR Jaron Brown on 3rd-n-10 took it to the TB40, a 16-yard David Johnson run took it to the 25, and a 24-yard pass to Fitzgerald – initially ruled a TD – took it to the one. Palmer’s TD pass to WR Michael Floyd on 3rd down made it 17-0 with 1:30 til intermission. Three Tampa incompletions ran just :17 off the clock and after the punt, AZ took over at its own 16 with 1:05 left. It was more than enough time for another TD as Palmer connected deep with WR Jaron Brown on a 51-yard scoring strike that made it 24-0 at the half. Tampa opened the 3rd quarter with an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended with their lone score of the day, a 19-yard TD pass from Winston to Evans. On the next play from scrimmage, David Johnson gathered in a short check-down from Palmer and took it 58 yards to the TB17. It led to another Catanzaro FG that made it 27-7. Tampa then moved to the AZ41 before Cooper struck again; he caught a Winston pass deflected by DT Josh Mauro and returned it 60 yards for a TD. Arizona added another TD early in the 4th when Chris Johnson’s 3-yard run capped a 65-yard drive and provided the game’s final score.

Game 1 Patriots 23, CARDINALS 21

September 11, 2016 – University of Phoenix Stadium (64,864)

Facing the Patriots on Sunday Night Football, the Cardinals suffered a season-opening loss at home after missing a go-ahead FG try from 47 yards out with 41 seconds remaining. Arizona had clawed back from an early deficit to take a 1-point 4th quarter lead on the second of Larry Fitzgerald’s two TDs. They were the 99th and 100th career scores for the future Hall of Famer who finished with 81 yards on 8 catches. But the Patriots answered. Making his 1st career start while filling in for a suspended Tom Brady, QB Jimmy Garoppolo led the Pats on a scoring drive and they went ahead 23-21 on a FG with 3:44 to go. When AZ could not convert its FG try on the ensuing drive, the game was decided in favor of the undermanned Pats, who were without Brady, TE Rob Gronkowski and a number of others. The Patriots scored on their first two possessions of the game to take a 10-0 lead. First Garoppolo capped an 8-play, 74-yard drive with a 37-yard TD pass to an open WR Chris Hogan down the left sideline. Then Steven Gostkowski’s 47-yard FG on the next drive made it 10-0. Arizona’s first 3 offensive possessions ended in punts before momentum turned with an Arizona takeaway. With 10:30 to go before half and AZ trailing 10-0, LB Markus Golden sacked Garoppolo forcing a fumble that former Patriot Chandler Jones recovered in NE territory. A celebration penalty pushed it back to the AZ46 but the Cards were still in business. They moved to the NE3 in 10 plays - 6 of which were David Johnson runs – before Palmer connected with Fitzgerald on a TD to make it 10-7 at the half. New England opened the 3rd quarter by moving 75 yards in 9 plays and went ahead 17-7 on an 8-yard LeGarrette Blount TD run. A Cards punt turned it back to NE with 7:00 to go in the 3rd. However, a Blount fumble forced by DT Frostee Rucker on the next snap was recovered by DT Calais Campbell at the NE33. Five plays later, David Johnson punched it in from a yard out to trim the deficit to 17-13. A 53-yard Gostkowski FG with 12:35 remaining made it 20-14. On the next drive, an incredible run from Johnson covered 45 yards to the NE 12; he initially was stopped at the line of scrimmage, spun outside, steadied himself with a hand on the ground and raced down the right sideline. Four plays later, a sliding, over-the-shoulder TD catch from Fitzgerald in the corner of the end zone put AZ up 21-20 with 9:46 left. The Pats, who were 10-16 on 3rd down in the game, converted 3 straight on the next drive as they moved 61 yards for a go-ahead FG that proved to be the game-winner.
