Westbrook finished with 136 yards and a TD on the ground. Arizona moved the ball early but could not put it in the end zone, settling for a pair of first half field goals. Another fourth quarter drive covered 59 yards but stalled on downs at the SF 14-yard line. The Rams come to AZ with a 5-6 record and tied with Seattle for first place in the NFC West. St. Louis is coming off a 36-33 road win at Denver, their first road win of the season. After trailing 10-0, the Rams then outscored the Broncos 33-3 to take a 20-point lead into the 4 th quarter. The Rams were led by the passing of rookie QB Sam Bradford, who recorded his first career 300-yard effort (308) and also threw 3 TD passes.

CARDINALS VS. RAMS – THE LAST MEETINGCARDINALS 17, Rams 13

September 12, 2010 – Edward Jones Dome (52,440) The Cards opened the NFL season on the road for the 18th time in 23 years with a week 1 date at St. Louis against 2010’s top pick Sam Bradford. Arizona also featured many new faces but it was a pair of vets who led the team to its 8th straight win over the Rams and 6th straight in St. Louis. All-Pro safety Adrian Wilson – the longest-tenured Cardinal – had 2 INTs, a sack and a blocked FG. Just as critical was the play of 4th-year WR Steve Breaston, who not only recorded a career-high 132 receiving yards on 7 catches but made a pair of TD-saving plays after Cardinal turnovers. WR Larry Fitzgerald returned from the knee injury suffered in the preseason opener. Arizona’s opening drive reached the SL22 but Tim Hightower fumbled on a hit by O.J. Otogwe and Bradley Fletcher returned it 43 yards before Breaston chased him down at the AZ32. Josh Brown’s subsequent 34-yard FG try was blocked by Wilson. Adrian then halted the Rams’ next drive with a pick off Bradford. Early in the 2nd quarter, Anderson led a 10-play drive that ended with Jay Feely’s 22-yard FG and a 3-0 AZ lead. Later in the 2nd, a 36-yard Bradford pass to Danny Amendola set-up a 46-yard Brown FG that tied it with 5:28 left in the first half. The Cards then pulled ahead with a 5-play 76-yard TD drive entirely on the ground. After consecutive LaRod Stephens-Howling runs of 21 and 15 yards, Hightower gained 19 and 20 and then punched it in from a yard out. Just before intermission, though, the Rams moved deep into AZ territory thanks mostly to Mark Clayton’s 39-yard catch to the 9. On the final play of the half, Bradford converted a 4th-n-goal at the 1 with a TD pass to WR Laurent Robinson that tied it at 10. Midway thru the 3rd, Brown’s 25-yard FG put the Rams up 13-10. They were poised to add to it a short time later when DE C.J. Ah You sacked Anderson forcing a fumble that DT Clifton Ryan scooped up at the 28. He was racing toward the goal-line before a hustling Breaston stripped him at the 4 and the fumble was recovered in the end zone for a touchback by C Lyle Sendlein. Early in the 4th, the Cards were deep in STL territory but rookie WR Max Komar fumbled at the 4 and the Rams recovered. The Cards then went ahead with 6:13 to play when Anderson ended a 7-play, 86-yard drive with a 21-yard TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald. The QB was 6-7 for 101 yards on the drive with 2-38 to Breaston. Bradford and the Rams would not go quietly and moved to the AZ21 at the 2:00 warning. Facing a 4th-n-10 from that spot with 1:47 left, new FS Kerry Rhodes INT’d Bradford and returned the pick 65 yards to the SL29 to presumably ice the game. However, on the next play Hightower fumbled after a 4-yard gain. The Rams advanced to the AZ36 with :05 left but Bradford’s final toss into the end zone was INT’d by Wilson to end the game. � CARDINALS 0 10 0 7 17 RAMS 0 10 3 0 13 Team Qtr.

CARDS CONTINUE HOME STAND The Cardinals play their second game in a three-game home stand this week when they face the St. Louis Rams.

This season marks the first time since 2005 and the first time since moving into University of Phoenix Stadium that the Cardinals will play three consecutive home games. The last time the Cards played three straight at home was in 2005.

If this week’s game vs. the Rams sells out, it will mark the 51st

consecutive sellout at University of Phoenix Stadium, including preseason and postseason. The Cardinals have sold out all 50 games played at their home stadium since it opened in 2006.

Cardinals at home under Whisenhunt� Cards have an overall 21-11 record� 18-11 regular season record� 3-0 postseason record� Cards have a 6-1 record against teams from the AFC� Between 2007-09, Cards averaged 26.5 ppg during the

regular season� Including postseason, Cards have scored 30+ points in 17

of 32 games

Since University of Phoenix Stadium opened in 2006, the Cardinals have compiled a 24-14 record at home, including regular season and postseason.

SUCCESS BY DIVISION Below is a look at a number of Cardinals players who have enjoyed significant success against their NFC West rival, the St. Louis Rams. SS Adrian Wilson� Has more sacks against the Rams (7.5) than against any other team in the NFL. Wilson also has six INTs, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 13 passes defensed in his career against St. Louis. He has an INT in each of the last three games vs. the Rams. � Recorded two INTs, a sack, and a blocked FG in the 2010 season opener. Became the first player to record an INT, sack and blocked FG in a game since Julius Peppers accomplished the feat on 11/28/04 vs. Tampa Bay. Became the first Cardinals player in history to record two INTs, a sack and a blocked FG in the same game.

WR Steve Breaston� Had a then-career high 132 yards against the Rams in week one, and in his last two games against St. Louis has 11 receptions for 196 yards.� In addition to his 132 receiving yards in week one, Breaston made two TD saving tackles following Cardinals turnovers. The biggest play came in the third quarter with the Cardinals trailing 13-10, when Breaston chased down Rams DT Clifton Ryan following a fumble recovery. Breaston stripped the ball from behind as Ryan was nearing the Cards endzone, resulting in a fumble the Cards recovered for a touchback.

RB Beanie Wells� In two appearances against the Rams, has rushed 31 times for 142 yards (4.6 avg.) and two TDs, with a rushing TD in each game.

WR Larry Fitzgerald� Has 80 receptions for 1,031 yards and 12 TDs in 13 career games against St. Louis.

RB Tim Hightower� First two career 100-yard rushing performances came in his first two trips to St. Louis (2008, ’09). In five career games vs. the Rams, has rushed 71 times for 337 yards (4.7 avg.) and four TDs.

FITZ NEEDS JUST FIVE With four catches last week vs. San Francisco, WR Larry Fitzgerald now has 582 career receptions, leaving him just five receptions shy of passing Anquan Boldin (586) and becoming the franchise all-time receptions leader.

Needing just five catches to become the franchise all-time receptions leader gives Fitzgerald a great shot at setting the record this week against the Rams. Fitzgerald has recorded at least five receptions in seven games this season, including four of the last five.Total Career Receptions Rec. to Pass1. 586 … Anquan Boldin, 2003-09 52. 582 … Larry Fitzgerald, 2004- - 3. 535 … Larry Centers, 1990-98 - 4. 522 … Roy Green, 1979-90 - 5. 493 … Frank Sanders, 1995-02 - 6. 480 … Jackie Smith, 1963-77 - 7. 469 … Pat Tilley, 1976-86 -8. 418 … Bobby Joe Conrad, 1958-68 -

CARDS ADD A BLOCK CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie blocked Shane Andrus’ 37-yard FG attempt last week against the 49ers, his first blocked FG attempt of the season and third of his career.

The blocked attempt marked Arizona’s third FG block this season, an NFL-high. FS Kerry Rhodes (vs. Tampa Bay, Week 8) and SS Adrian Wilson (at St. Louis, Week 1) have also blocked opponent FG attempts for the Cards this season.

Dating back to 2008, the Cardinals have now blocked seven FG attempts, the most in the NFL over that period. In addition to being in the NFL lead in that category this season, the Cards led the NFL in ’09 with three blocked FG attempts.

THE LAST GAMEGame 11

49ers 27, CARDINALS 6 November 29, 2010 – University of Phoenix Stadium (63,208)

In a Monday night match-up of 3-7 teams that would see the winner pull to within a game of the NFC West lead, the visiting Niners controlled the line of scrimmage and outplayed the Cardinals in all three phases of the game to earn a 27-6 win. It marked Arizona’s 6th straight defeat. Despite losing RB Frank Gore in the 1st quarter with a hip injury, San Fran was able to gain 261 yards on the ground. The majority of those yards came from veteran Brian Westbrook, who finished with 136 yards on 23 carries with a touchdown. The 49ers began the game by taking the opening kickoff and marching to the AZ20 but Shane Andrus’ FG try missed wide right. However, on Arizona’s first offensive play QB Derek Anderson and RB Beanie Wells mishandled an exchange and the 49ers recovered at the AZ38. On the very next snap, 49ers QB Troy Smith tossed a deep pass down the middle that WR Michael Crabtree hauled in for a 38-yard TD. Arizona responded by moving to the SF13, thanks mostly to a 43-yard Anderson pass to Wells down the right sideline. The Cards did not find the end zone but came away with a 31-yard Jay Feely TD that made it 7-3. San Fran’s Ted Ginn then returned the ensuing kickoff 41 yards to the Niners 45 to start a possession that ended on Anthony Dixon’s 1-yard scoring run. The score capped a 10-play drive that put SF up 14-3 late in the first. After a 3-n-out from the Cardinals, Ginn’s 42-yard punt return set the Niners up at the AZ42. Six plays later, Westbrook scored from 8 yards out to make it 21-3 midway thru the second. It looked like the Cards had cut into the lead on the next drive when they marched to the SF18 and Larry Fitzgerald came down in the end zone with an Anderson pass but the receiver lost control as he hit the ground. Instead the Cardinals came away with a 39-yard Feely FG that made it 21-6 late in the first half. With just over a minute remaining in the half, CB Michael Adams picked off a Smith pass that had deflected off Crabtree’s hands and the Cards took over at the SF42 with 1:13 left but could not capitalize. LaRod Stephens-Howling appeared to spark the Cards with an 83-yard return of the 2nd half’s opening kickoff but it was wiped out by a holding penalty. The Niners opening drive ended with a 27-yard FG try from Andrus but Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie blocked it. He could not block a 38-yarder on the next drive and the 49ers led 24-6 after three quarters. The only points of the fourth came on a 26-yard Andrus FG that was set-up by Takeo Spikes INT of Anderson.

RECORD RETURNS With Michael Adams’ fumble recovery for a TD off Percy Harvin’s third quarter kickoff return at Minnesota in week nine, the Cardinals scored their fourth TD on an opponent fumble this season, tying the NFL all-time single season record. The Cardinals became just the 14th team in NFL history to record four opponent fumble recoveries for TDs in a season and the first team to do so since Kansas City in 1999. RB LaRod Stephens-Howling had a 96-yard KOR for a TD earlier in the game giving the Cards an NFL-high eight return TDs in eight games this season. Return TDs in 2010—NFL Leaders TDs Team8 Arizona 6 New England 5 Oakland With one more return TD this season, the Cards would establish a franchise record for return TDs in a season. The NFL record for returns TDs in a season is 13 (Seattle, 1998).

TO THE HOUSE FOR A HOUSEIn returning the opening kickoff for a TD against the Raiders in week three, Stephens-Howling won Cards fan and Surprise, AZ resident Dave Johnson a new home as part of the Lennar Homes “Take it to the House” Kickoff promotion.

The first Cardinals kickoff return of every home game is billed as the “Lennar Take it the House Kickoff.” If the Cards return that kickoff for a TD, one selected registrant will win a brand new home, courtesy of Lennar. Johnson, along with numerous Lennar representatives, were at the Cards facility on Wednesday (9/29) for a meet-and-greet with Stephens-Howling.

“I wish I could win a house for somebody every time I touched the ball, but that is great,” Stephens-Howling said after making Johnson the first-ever winner of the contest. “That is amazing.”

CHASING WINNER Ken Whisenhunt has 34 victories (regular and postseason) as the Cardinals head coach. That total is good for fourth-place on the franchise career wins list. With 34 wins, Whisenhunt needs one more to tie Charlie Winner for the third-most wins by head coach in franchise history. Most Wins By A Cardinals Head Coach Wins Coach (Years)42 Don Coryell (1973-77) 39 Jim Hanifan (1980-85) 35 Charley Winner (1966-70) 34 Ken Whisenhunt (2007-present)29 Vince Tobin (1996-2000) Since taking over as head coach of the Cards in 2007, Whisenhunt has a 7-0 record against the Rams, including a 3-0 record at home.

With a record of .500 or better at home this season, Whisenhunt would join Don Coryell as the only coaches in franchise history to post four consecutive seasons with a .500 record or better while playing at home.

CARDS UNDER “THE WHIZ” Head coach Ken Whisenhunt has had an impressive run in his first three-plus seasons with the Cardinals, earning him a four-year contract extension with a team option for a fifth.

Including the postseason, Arizona has posted 34 wins under Whisenhunt, the fourth-highest total among head coaches in franchise history.

In becoming one of the NFL’s top head coaches, Whisenhunt has put together an impressive list of achievements in his first three-plus seasons:

� The Cardinals earned NFC West titles in 2008 and ‘09, earning their first back-to-back division titles since 1974-75. Another NFC West title in 2010 would give the franchise an unprecedented third consecutive division crown. � Arizona’s win over Green Bay in the 2009 Wild Card matchup gave the Cardinals wins in the postseason in back-to-back years for the first time in franchise history. � The Cardinals have won twice as many playoffs games under Whisenhunt (4) as they had won in their total playoff history (2) prior to his tenure. Under Whisenhunt, the Cardinals have appeared in six playoff contests between 2008-09, after appearing in seven total postseason games in the franchise’s history prior to his arrival.� Arizona finished with a 10-6 record in ‘09, giving the Cardinals 10+ wins in the regular season for the first time since 1976 (10-4). � Whisenhunt is the first head coach in franchise history with a .500 record or better in each of his first three seasons. The Cardinals were 8-8 in 2007, 9-7 in 2008 and 10-6 in ‘09. If the Cardinals post a record of .500 or better in 2010, Whisenhunt will join Don Coryell (1974-77) as the only head coaches in franchise history with a .500 record or better in four consecutive seasons. � The Cardinals finished with a 4-4 record at University of Phoenix Stadium in ’09, making Whisenhunt the first Cardinals coach to post a .500 record or better at home in three straight seasons since Don Coryell posted four consecutive seasons above .500 between 1974-77. Whisenhunt is the first head coach since Charley Winner (1966-68) to post a .500 record or better at home in each of his first three seasons. � The Cardinals started the 2009 season with a 5-0 record on the road for the first time since 1975. � The Cardinals have posted a 14-8 record against NFC West opponents under Whisenhunt. � Led the Cardinals to the NFC West title in 2008, their first division title since 1975. � Led the Cardinals to their first-ever Super Bowl appearance in 2008 and more wins in a single season (12) than any coach in franchise history. � The Cardinals 30-24 win over the Atlanta Falcons in the 2008 Wild Card Game was the first home playoff victory in 61 years.� With the 34-21 win over Seattle in the 2008 regular season finale, the Cardinals finished the 2008 regular season with a 9-7 record, matching their best regular season record since the franchise moved to Arizona in 1988.� With the Cardinals 24-23 win over Oakland in week three of ‘10 at University of Phoenix Stadium, the team improved to 6-1 at home against teams from the AFC.

� In 2008, the Cards offense scored a franchise record 427 points and added 188 points in the playoffs, the third-highest total in NFL postseason history.

GRAVES EXTENDED IN OFFSEASON After overseeing a Cardinals team that won back-to-back NFC West titles, earned its first conference championship and made its first Super Bowl appearance, GM Rod Graves was rewarded with a contract extension in February of 2010 on the same day as Ken Whisenhunt. The extension keeps Graves in Arizona through the 2013 season. The most significant tool used by Graves to assemble Arizona’s roster has been the NFL Draft.

Arizona currently has 24 players on the 53-man roster that were drafted by the Cardinals. Recent drafts have not only produced Pro Bowlers in Larry Fitzgerald, Adrian Wilson, Darnell Dockett and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, but also scores of other full-time starters and contributors. Of the 22 starters on both sides of the ball, 13 were either drafted by the Cardinals or signed by the team as rookie free agents.

Rookie free agents are another area of success for the Cardinals under Graves’ watch. The Cardinals current 53-man roster includes eight players that originally entered the league when Arizona signed them as rookie free agents. The 2010 rookie class alone consists of five free agents. Graves has made it clear that the organization wants to identify a core group of players to build the team around and keep that core intact. Wilson (2004, 2009), Dockett (2006, 2009), GeraldHayes (2006), and Fitzgerald (2008) have all signed contract extensions. Dockett signed his second, and most recent, contract extension with the Cards on 9/1/10.

GRIMM ENTERS THE HALL On Saturday, August 7th, Cardinals assistant head coach/run game coordinator/offensive line coach Russ Grimm was in Canton, OH where he was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

A member of the famed “Hogs” offensive line, Grimm started 11 seasons at guard for the Redskins (1981-91) and helped lead the team to four Super Bowl appearances and three victories. He was a four-time Pro Bowl selection and was a first-team selection to the 1980s all-decade team.

At the induction ceremony, Grimm was introduced by Joe Bugel, the Redskins offensive line coach during Grimm’s playing days. Bugel later served as head coach for the Cardinals (1990-93).

Grimm joined a 2010 Hall of Fame class that also featured WR Jerry Rice, RB Emmitt Smith, LB Rickey Jackson, DL John Randle, and two senior candidates, CB Dick LeBeau and RB Floyd Little.

PERENNIAL PRO BOWLER When the Cardinals acquired G Alan Faneca in the offseason, they brought in one of the games finest players over the last decade, a player who has earned nine consecutive Pro Bowl selections dating back to 2001.

Faneca is one of just 21 offensive linemen in NFL history to earn nine or more Pro Bowl selections and is one of just 10 guards to do so. Five of those 10 guards are already in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Guards that have made 9+ Pro Bowls include: Player PB Teams (Years)*Bruce Matthews 14 Hou/Ten (1988-2001) *Randall McDaniel 12 Min (1989-99), TB (2000) Will Shields 12 KC (1995-2006) Larry Allen 11 Dal (1995-2001, 03-05), SF (06) *Tom Mack 11 L.A.

With a Pro Bowl selection in 2010, Faneca would become just the 11th offensive lineman in league history to make the Pro Bowl at least 10 times. Of the 10 linemen who have made the Pro Bowl 10+ times, every one that is Hall of Fame eligible is enshrined in Canton.

In all, there have been just 67 players in NFL history that have made the Pro Bowl at least nine times and only 33 to earn 10+ Pro Bowl nods. Of the 33 players in the latter group, all 23 that are Hall of Fame eligible are enshrined in Canton.

THE NEW LOOK CARDINALS The Cardinals have experienced a host of changes on both sides of the ball since 2009. Of the 22 current starters in 2010, 11 are either new to the team, first-year starters or starting in a new position.

The Cardinals have seven new starters on offense and four on defense. Below is a look at the starting lineup from 2009 compared to 2010. Changes are in bold on the right.

CARDS POPULARITY GROWING On the strength of back-to-back division titles, their first-ever conference title and their appearance in Super Bowl XLIII, the Cardinals have made another jump in popularity and now rank as the 11th most popular franchise in the NFL according to the most recent Harris Poll.

The results were based on a national survey of 2,600 sports fans and the Cardinals 11th overall ranking is the best-ever for the franchise. Arizona has made a steady climb over the last few seasons, finishing 16th overall last year after finishing 29th

three years ago and 32nd in 2004.

Since 2006, when the Cardinals moved into University of Phoenix Stadium, the team has gone from 29th overall to their current position at number 11. In that time, only the New Orleans Saints made a bigger jump (31st to 5th).

HALL MAKES HISTORY WITH SAINTS WIN In his first NFL start, QB Max Hall led the Cardinals to a 30-20 victory over the defending Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints.Notes From Hall’s First Start� Became the first NFL QB since Carolina’s Matt Moore in 2007

to start an NFL game as an undrafted rookie free agent. � Became the first undrafted rookie QB in the Super Bowl era

(since 1966) to start a game for the Cardinals, not including the 1987 season when a player strike resulted in the use of replacement players. He joined Jim Hart as the only undrafted rookie QBs to play in a game for the Cards.

� Excluding the 1987 season, with Hall’s start against the Saints he became the first undrafted rookie to start in week five or earlier since 1976, when Jim Zorn started the first game for the Seahawks in their inaugural season as an NFL franchise.

� Dating back to 1960, Hall joins George Izo as the only Cardinals rookie QBs to win their first career start. Hall is the only QB to start, finish and win his first career start. On 10/23/60 vs. Dallas, Izo started against the Cowboys and after completing one of six pass attempts for 22 yards, left the game in the second quarter with a knee injury and the Cardinals trailing 3-2.

� Became the first undrafted rookie QB to start and win against the defending Super Bowl champions since 1967 (Kent Nix, Pittsburgh vs. Green Bay, December 17).

� Named the Pepsi “NFL Rookie of the Week” for his performance

AN OVERVIEW OF ANDERSON After he was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the sixth round (213th overall) in 2005, QB Derek Anderson was waived by the Ravens and went on to spend his first five seasons with the Cleveland Browns.

Anderson served as a backup during his first two seasons in Cleveland, appearing in five games (three starts) in 2006. Then came the 2007 season, when Anderson replaced starter Charlie Frye in the season opener. Anderson entered the game and went on to start the final 15 games.

In leading the Browns to a 10-5 record over his 15 starts, Anderson completed 298 of 527 passes (56.5%) for 3,787 yards and 29 TDs on his way to his first career Pro Bowl berth.

In week eight against the Buccaneers, Anderson threw for 234 yards and a TD, reaching 8,000 career passing yards and throwing his 50th career TD pass. Anderson also completed 66.7% of his pass attempts, his highest percentage as a Cardinal and his highest percentage since posting a 68.7 completion percentage (24 of 35) vs. Houston on 11/25/07.

CARDS ALUMNI UP FOR HOF A couple of former Cardinals are among the 26 modern-era semi-finalists being considered for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2011. Former CB Aeneas Williams was a third round selection (59th overall) by the Cardinals in the 1991 NFL Draft out of Southern and he played 10 of his 14 seasons in Arizona. While a member of the Cardinals, he started 159 of 160 games played and his 46 interceptions rank second in franchise history. He collected 629 tackles, two sacks and 10 forced fumbles. As one of the NFL’s premier CBs, Williams was voted to the Pro Bowl eight times, six times with Arizona (1994-99). He was also named to the NFL Team of the 1990’s. He was inducted into the Cardinals Ring of Honor in 2008. Williams played his final four seasons with the St. Louis Rams. Also up for HOF consideration in 2011 is former coach DonCoryell. Coryell coached the Cardinals from 1973-77 and his 42 wins as head coach are a franchise record. Coryell led the Cards to three consecutive seasons (1974-76) with double-digit wins and won back-to-back division titles in 1974-75. The current list of 26 semi-finalists will be reduced to 15 modern-era finalists in early January, 2011. That list will increase to 17 with the inclusion of two recommended candidates of the HOF Senior Committee. The Hall of Fame Class of 2011 will be determined at the Selection Committee’s annual meeting on Saturday, February 5, the day before Super Bowl XLV.

HISTORICALLY GOOD With three receptions in week seven at Seattle, WR Larry Fitzgerald eclipsed 550 career receptions at 27 years and 54 days old, becoming the youngest player in NFL history to reach the milestone, surpassing the record formerly held by Randy Moss (27 years, 247 days). In week nine at Minnesota, Fitzgerald reached 7,577 receiving yards for his career and at 27 years and 68 days old, become the second-youngest player in NFL history to reach 7,500 receiving yards behind Moss (26 years, 255 days old).Youngest Players to 7,500 Receiving Yards—NFL History Player AgeRandy Moss 26 years, 255 days oldLarry Fitzgerald 27 years, 68 days oldJerry Rice 28 years, 51 days old Lance Alworth 28 years, 85 days old James Lofton 28 years, 136 days oldYoungest Players to 550 Receptions—NFL History Player AgeLarry Fitzgerald 27 years, 54 days old Randy Moss 27 years, 247 days old Andre Johnson 28 years, 148 days old Tony Gonzalez 28 years, 302 days old Herman Moore 28 years, 335 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).

ANDRE ON OFFENSE After being drafted by the Cardinals in the third round (88th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft, WR Andre Roberts struggled in training camp and throughout the preseason. That resulted in him being inactive for the first game of the 2010 season.

Judging from his play since moving into the WR rotation, it seems that Roberts has left his struggles behind. Over the last seven weeks, Roberts has begun to show his potential, particularly as a WR. Two weeks ago against the Chiefs, Roberts recorded season-highs with six receptions for 52 yards. Last week against the 49ers, he hauled in two receptions for 21 yards.

In his last seven games, Roberts has totaled 14 receptions for 169 yards and a TD, averaging 12.1 yards per reception. His TD was a 30-yard reception against the Vikings in week nine. Roberts has continued to settle into the role as the team’s primary punt returner as well, totaling 18 returns for 122 yards on the season.

RECEIVER QUICK FACTS � Cardinals players have hauled in 19 receptions of at least 20 yards in the last five games. In the first six games, the Cardinals had a total of 14 receptions of 20+ yards. � Arizona’s 12 receiving plays of 25+ yards in the last five weeks ranks as the third-highest total in the NFL in that span behind only the NY Jets and Dallas Cowboys (13). � Cardinals receivers have combined for 1,314 receiving yards over the last five weeks, the sixth-highest total in the NFL in that span behind New England (1,341), Detroit (1,349), Dallas (1,349), NY Jets (1,372) and Indianapolis (1,428). � Arizona’s two leading receivers, Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston, have each totaled at least 90 yards three times over the last five games.

BIG PLAY BREASTONDespite missing three games due to a knee injury, WR Steve Breaston has caught 36 passes for 570 yards and a TD this season and his 71.3 yards per game average ranks sixth in the NFC.

In the eight games he has played, Breaston has six receptions of 30+ yards, including five in the last five games. Breaston has nine receptions of 25+ yards this season and despite missing three games, only Brandon Lloyd (16 in 11 games), Mike Wallace (12 in 11 games) and Antonio Gates (11 in 9 games) have more receptions of 25+ yards this season.

Breaston has two 100-yard games so far in ‘10 and has twice set a career-high for receiving yards. In week nine against the Buccaneers, in his first game back from the knee injury, Breaston caught eight passes for 147 yards, setting a career mark for receiving yards. Prior to that performance, Breaston’s career-high was 132 yards, established in week one at St. Louis.

In addition to his two 100-yard games this season, Breaston has posted receiving totals of 98 and 92 yards over the last three games.

Breaston 2010 Notes� Has at least 92 yards receiving in four of eight games played.� Breaston has six of the Cardinals 11 receptions of 30+ yards this season. � After recording 100 receiving yards in a game just three times in his first 51 career games (including postseason), Breaston has three 100-yard performances in his last 10 games dating back to the Cardinals Wild Card matchup vs. Green Bay. � In addition to his 147 yards receiving, Breaston added a 14-yard run on a reverse against the Bucs. It was the eighth rushing attempt of his career, good for 84 rushing yards.� Threw his first NFL pass in week nine against Minnesota, a 17-yard strike to TE Jim Dray.� With Breaston in the lineup, the Cards are averaging 218.5 passing yards per game. In the three games he missed, Arizona averaged 114.7 passing yards per game.

HIGHTOWER CAN GO THE DISTANCE RB Tim Hightower’s 80-yard TD run in week two against the Falcons tied for the third-longest run in franchise history and was the longest run for the Cardinals in 42 years, when John David Crow established a franchise record with an 83-yard TD run on 10/4/58. It also marks the longest run in franchise history in a road game.

Combined with his 70-yard TD run in the Divisional matchup in New Orleans last season, Hightower now has TD runs of 70 and 80 yards in his last 12 games.

Hightower’s 80-yard TD run was the longest offensive play for the Cardinals since Marcel Shipp’s 80-yard TD reception at St. Louis on 12/15/02.

Hightower’s 80-yard TD is tied for the longest in the NFL so far this season, tied with Adrian Peterson (week three) and eclipsing the 76-yard TD run of Chris Johnson in week one.

FINISHING STRONG RB Beanie Wells, now in his second NFL season, has been hampered by injuries that contributed to a slow first half of the 2010 season. Through the first nine games, Wells played in just six of those contests and carried just once against Minnesota in week nine. He had totaled 70 attempts for 231 yards (3.3) average in that span.

Wells showed last season that he is capable of finishing off the season strong. As a rookie, Wells really got going over the second half of last season, scoring six of his seven TDs over the final eight regular season games. Below is a breakdown of Wells’ rookie season in the first eight games compared to the final eight games:

Games 1-8 Games 9-16 Att Yds Avg. TD Att Yds Avg TD70 310 4.4 1 106 483 4.6 6

In the two games since returning to full health, Wells has carried 13 times for 52 yards, averaging 4.0 yards per attempt. His biggest contribution in last week Monday night contest against San Francisco was as a receiver. Wells’ 43-yard reception in the first quarter was the longest reception of his career and represented the longest pass play for the Cards this season.

For his career, Wells has appeared in 24 games (two starts) and rushed 259 times for 1,076 yards (4.2-yard average) and nine TDs. He has also caught 16 passes for 211 yards.

BIG CONTRIBUTION Second-year RB LaRod Stephens Howling was one of the league’s most dynamic special teams performers as a rookie in 2009. This season, the 5-7, 185-pound back is again filling that role, having produced a number of big kickoff returns and providing coverage. He has tied the franchise record with two KOR TDs this season and he also has an NFL-high 1,219 KOR yards. In addition to his role on special teams, Stephens-Howling has also been a bigger part of the Cards offense in 2010. Through his first 10 games, he has totaled 17 carries for 94 yards (5.5-yard avg.) and a TD. He has also added 13 receptions for 98 yards. That marks a significant jump in production on offense compared to his rookie campaign in ’09. Last year, Stephens-Howling totaled six rushing attempts for 15 yards and had 10 receptions for 83 yards on the season. Against the Buccaneers in week eight, Stephens-Howling had a career game as a RB. He totaled four carries for 41 yards (10.3-yard avg.), including a 30-yard TD run in the third quarter. The 30-yard run marked his first career rushing TD and the longest run of his career.

ONE OF FIVE OVER 1,000 During the offseason, the Cardinals signed K Jay Feely to a two-year contract, bringing in one of the five NFL players who have eclipsed 1,000 points since 2001, the year Feely entered the league. Feely has tallied 1,073 points, the second-highest total in the league dating back to ‘01 behind only Eagles kicker David Akers (1,152). Feely joins Akers, former Broncos and Falcons kicker Jason Elam, Minnesota’s Ryan Longwell and Indy’s Adam Vinatieri as the only NFL players with 1,000+ points in that span.

LENON HAVING BIG YEAR Veteran LB Paris Lenon has been a solid addition to the Cardinals defense after signing with the team in the offseason. In week three against Oakland, Lenon had a sack and INT on consecutive defensive plays in the second quarter, recording his sixth career sack and third career INT. It marked his first career game with both a sack and an INT.

Against the Saints in week five, Lenon recorded his second INT of the season, picking off a Drew Brees pass late in the first half that led to a Cardinals TD which evened the score at 10-10. Lenon’s second INT of the season gives him a career-high and matches the INT total of his previous eight seasons combined. Prior to the 2010 season, Lenon had two INTs in 127 career games.

Through first 11 games of ’10, Lenon has recorded a team-high 84 tackles, two INTs, a sack, seven tackles for loss, a forced fumble and four passes defensed.

THE PLAYMAKER Pro Bowl CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie’s playmaking abilities were back on display in the Cardinals 30-20 victory over the Saints. With the Cardinals holding a 23-20 lead, the Saints had the ball with 24 seconds remaining in regulation and a chance to drive for a game-tying FG. On Drew Brees’ first down play, Rodgers-Cromartie stepped in front of a pass intended for WR Lance Moore and returned the INT 28 yards for a TD. The TD gave the Cardinals a 30-20 lead with just 10 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, sealing the Cards win.

The INT return for a TD against the Saints added to Rodger-Cromartie’s list of big plays in his first two-plus seasons for the Cardinals. Below is a career breakdown:

Defense� Has recorded a total of 15 INTs (12 regular season; 3 postseason) in 41 career starts at cornerback, leading the team with six INTs during the regular season in ’09 and four INTs during his rookie season in just 11 starts. � Has returned three INTs for TDs, all of which have come in the fourth quarter to seal Cardinals wins: 12/7/08 vs. St. LouisPicked off Rams by Marc Bulger with just over 3:00 remaining in the fourth quarter in a game that clinched the NFC West title for the Cardinals.

ADRIAN DOES A LITTLE OVER EVERYTHING IN WEEK ONE SS Adrian Wilson recorded two INTs, a sack, and a blocked FG in the week one win over St. Louis, becoming the first NFL player to record an INT, sack and blocked FG in a game since Julius Peppers accomplished the feat on 11/28/04 vs. Tampa Bay. Wilson also became the first Cardinals player in history to record two INTs, a sack and a blocked FG in the same game.

Wilson’s block of Josh Brown’s 34-yard FG attempt was the first FG block of his career. He also has one career blocked punt (10/26/03 vs. SF).

With his two INTs against the Rams, Wilson now has 25 for his career, passing Kwamie Lassiter for sixth place on the franchise career list.

Wilson has an INT in the last three games against the Rams. He had an INT in each of the Cards two games against the Rams in ’09.In his last eight games against St. Louis Wilson has tallied seven INTs. With his second quarter sack of QB Sam Bradford, Wilson now has 21.5 career sacks, 7.5 of which have come against St. Louis. Wilson has more sacks against the Rams than he does against anyother team in the NFL.

The Rams game marked the second multi-INT game of Wilson’s career and the first since recording three INTs against Dallas on 10/20/02. It also marked the fifth time Wilson has recorded an INT and a sack in the same game.

WILSON NAMED PLAYER OF THE WEEK Wilson was named the “NFC Defensive Player of the Week” for his performance against the Rams in week one.

It is the fourth career “Player of the Week” selection for Wilson. He was first honored in 2002 following a week 7 victory against Dallas, again in week 4 of ‘04 after a Cardinals win vs. New Orleans and last year after a week 7 win at the New York Giants. Wilson now has the most defensive Player of the Week awards in team history (Antrel Rolle and Aeneas Williams, three each). Among all-time Cardinals, only quarterback Kurt Warner (five) has more selections overall.

RHODES MAKING PLAYS Against the Saints in week five, FS Kerry Rhodes returned a Ladell Betts fumble 27 yards for a TD, giving the Cardinals a 23-13 fourth quarter lead. It marked the second consecutive week that Rhodes returned a fumble for a TD, also returning a Chargers fumble42 yards for a TD in week four. With his fumble return for a TD against the Saints, Rhodes becomes the first player in franchise history with fumble returns for TDs in back-to-back games.

Rhodes’ two fumble recoveries for TDs this season are tied for the NFL single-season record. Rhodes became the 36th player in NFL history to record two fumble returns for TDs in a single season. Besides Rhodes, the only other Cardinals player to return two fumblesfor TDs in a season was Leo Sugar in 1957.

Combined with his 42-yard fumble return for a TD in week four, Rhodes’ 27-yard fumble return TD against the Saints made him thefirst NFL player with a 25+ yard opponent’s fumble recovery for TD in back-to-back games since Tennessee’s Marcus Robertson in 1997. Having played just 11 games with the Cardinals, Rhodes’ two fumble returns for TDs rank as the second-highest total among any player in franchise history. The only person with more career fumble returns for TDs is Leo Sugar, who totaled three from 1954-60.

In the 2009 regular season finale with the Jets, Rhodes recovered a Bengals fumble and returned it 44 yards (1/3/10), setting up a Jets TD on the ensuing possession. Below is a look at Rhodes performance over his last 12 regular season games, including the ’09finale with the Jets and his 11 games with Arizona, compared to his first 79 career regular season games:

In week eight against the Buccaneers, Rhodes blocked his first career FG attempt, getting a hand on Connor Barth’s 53-yard attempt in the fourth quarter that kept the game at 38-35 and kept the Cards within three points with just 3:16 remaining in the game.

In week nine at Minnesota, Rhodes hauled in his second INT of the season, intercepting a Brett Favre pass in the first quarter and returning it 66 yards before he was stripped from behind by Greg Camarillo just two yards shy of his third defensive TD of the season.

DEFENSIVE TD LEADER Rhodes is tied for the NFL lead with two defensive TDs this season, both coming on fumble recoveries. Rhodes is tied with Cleveland’s David Bowens (2 INT returns) Washington’s DeAngelo Hall (INT return, fumble return) and Indianapolis’ Kelvin Hayden (2 INT returns) for the NFL lead among defenseman.

SAFETY SACK LEADERS Dating back to 2005, Adrian Wilson and Kerry Rhodes have more sacks than any safeties in the NFL. Wilson easily leads the category with 19.5 sacks over that period while Rhodes’ 9.0 sacks are tied with Yeremiah Bell for the second-highest total in the NFL.

THE 20-20 MAN Now in his 10th season with the Cardinals, Pro Bowl safety Adrian Wilson is the team’s most tenured player. Wilson has been with Arizona since the team selected him in the third round (64th overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft. Wilson’s accomplishments during his first nine seasons include three Pro Bowl appearances and numerous NFL single-season records. In 2009, Wilson reached a career milestone when he became just the 10th player in NFL history with at least 20 sacks and 20 interceptions.

FILLING IN NICELYOne of the big questions heading into the 2010 season was how the Cardinals were going to fill the gaps after LB Karlos Dansby and FS Antrel Rolle left via free agency in the offseason. The answer to that question has been answered in the form of LB Paris Lenon and FS Kerry Rhodes. Both are putting up career numbers through the first 10 games of the ’10 season.

PORTER NEARS 100 LB Joey Porter recorded two sacks of Vikings QB Brett Favre in week nine at Minnesota, giving him at least one sack in three consecutive games. Porter had a sack of Bucs QB Josh Freeman in week eight and a sack of Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck in week seven.

With his two sacks in Minnesota, Porter now has 97.0 career sacks and needs just three more to become only the 25th player in NFL history to recorded 100+ sacks in their career.

Game 1CARDINALS 17, Rams 13

September 12, 2010 – Edward Jones Dome (52,440) The Cards opened the NFL season on the road for the 18th time in 23 years with a week 1 date at St. Louis against 2010’s top pick Sam Bradford. Arizona also featured many new faces but it was a pair of vets who led the team to its 8th straight win over the Rams and 6th straight in St. Louis. All-Pro safety Adrian Wilson – the longest-tenured Cardinal – had 2 INTs, a sack and a blocked FG. Just as critical was the play of 4th-year WR Steve Breaston, who not only recorded a career-high 132 receiving yards on 7 catches but made a pair of TD-saving plays after Cardinal turnovers. WR Larry Fitzgerald returned from the knee injury suffered in the preseason opener. He and new QB Derek Anderson struggled at times with their timing but the pair clicked when it counted, connecting on a 21-yard go-ahead TD with 6:13 to play. Arizona’s opening drive reached the SL22 but Tim Hightower fumbled on a hit by O.J. Otogwe and Bradley Fletcher returned it 43 yards before Breaston chased him down at the AZ32. Josh Brown’s subsequent 34-yard FG try was blocked by Wilson. Adrian then halted the Rams’ next drive with a pick off Bradford. Early in the 2nd quarter, Anderson led a 10-play drive that ended with Jay Feely’s 22-yard FG and a 3-0 AZ lead. Later in the 2nd, a 36-yard Bradford pass to Danny Amendola set-up a 46-yard Brown FG that tied it with 5:28 left in the first half. The Cards then pulled ahead with a 5-play 76-yard TD drive entirely on the ground. After consecutive LaRod Stephens-Howling runs of 21 and 15 yards, Hightower gained 19 and 20 and then punched it in from a yard out. Just before intermission, though, the Rams moved deep into AZ territory thanks mostly to Mark Clayton’s 39-yard catch to the 9. On the final play of the half, Bradford converted a 4th-n-goal at the 1 with a TD pass to WR Laurent Robinson that tied it at 10. Midway thru the 3rd, Brown’s 25-yard FG put the Rams up 13-10. They were poised to add to it a short time later when DE C.J. Ah You sacked Anderson forcing a fumble that DT Clifton Ryan scooped up at the 28. He was racing toward the goal-line before a hustling Breaston stripped him at the 4 and the fumble was recovered in the end zone for a touchback by C Lyle Sendlein. Early in the 4th, the Cards were deep in STL territory but rookie WR Max Komar fumbled at the 4 and the Rams recovered. The Cards then went ahead with 6:13 to play when Anderson ended a 7-play, 86-yard drive with a 21-yard TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald. The QB was 6-7 for 101 yards on the drive with 2-38 to Breaston. Bradford and the Rams would not go quietly and moved to the AZ21 at the 2:00 warning. Facing a 4th-n-10 from that spot with 1:47 left, new FS Kerry Rhodes INT’d Bradford and returned the pick 65 yards to the SL29 to presumably ice the game. However, on the next play Hightower fumbled after a 4-yard gain. The Rams advanced to the AZ36 with :05 left but Bradford’s final toss into the end zone was INT’d by Wilson to end the game. � CARDINALS 0 10 0 7 17 RAMS 0 10 3 0 13 Team Qtr.

Game 2Falcons 41, CARDINALS 7

September 19, 2010 – Georgia Dome (66,824)

The Cardinals were one of just 3 NFL teams to open the season with back-to-back road games and emerged with split after a decisive week 2 defeat at the Georgia Dome. Arizona was 0-8 on 3rd downs, lost the turnover battle 3-1, and hampered by a rash of penalties from referee Jerome Boger’s crew, who flagged the Cards 10 times for 109 yards. Falcons QB Matt Ryan tied a career-high with 3 TD passes but it was 3rd string RB Jason Snelling who stole the show. He was pressed into action after Michael Turner & Jerrious Norwood went down with injuries and finished with 129 rushing yards and 3 TDs (2 rush/1 rec.). Atlanta scored on 4 of its first 5 drives en route to a 24-7 halftime lead. The Falcons moved 70 yards in 9 plays on the game’s opening series and capped it with a 7-yard Ryan TD pass to WR Roddy White. The Cards appeared to answer quickly with LaRod Stephens-Howling’s 98-yard TD on the ensuing kickoff but it was wiped out by a holding call. After the teams traded punts, AZ had it at the ATL37 but Derek Anderson’s 3rd-n-6 pass was INT’d by CB Christopher Owens and returned to the AZ43. That led to a 24-yard Matt Bryant FG and 10-0 lead. This time the Cards had a quick response that held up. After a touchback, Tim Hightower raced 80 yards on the next play for the 3rd longest TD in franchise history and longest since John David Crow’s 83-yarder in 1958). The Falcons answered with a 72-yard scoring drive and went up 17-7 when Ryan beat a Cards blitz on 3rd-n-3 from the AZ19 with a TD pass to Snelling out of the backfield. A pass interference foul in the EZ on Atlanta’s next series set-up a 1-yard Snelling TD that made it 24-7 at intermission. On the 2nd play after halftime, Anderson’s pass went off the hands of WR Stephen Williams and right to S William Moore whose return to the AZ 14 set up a 12-yard TD pass to Brian Finneran. After a 35-yard Bryant FG made it 34-7, Snelling’s third score of the day came on a 7-yard TD run late in the 4th that provided the game’s final points. Max Hall came on in relief of Anderson with 3:00 left but his 2nd attempt of the day was INT’d.

Game 3CARDINALS 24, Raiders 23

September 26, 2010 – University of Phoenix Stadium (62,439) After opening with 2 straight on the road, the Cards faced Oakland in the home opener and held on for a 1-point win thanks to a missed FG on the game’s final play from one of the league’s most reliable kickers. Arizona’s LaRod Stephens-Howling opened the game with a 102-yard kickoff return TD. The lead then changed hands 4 times and appeared as if it would once more when Sebastian Janikowski lined up for a 32-yard game-winner with :04 left. But after making 19 straight between 30-39 yards over the previous 2+ years, he missed left and the Cards improved to 2-1. Arizona was bolstered by the return of RB Beanie Wells, who missed the first 2 games (knee) and for the first time since ’04 the team won when gaining more rushing yards than passing. QB Derek Anderson did connect on passing TDs to Steve Breaston and Larry Fitzgerald; the latter came with 1:01 remaining in the 3rd and proved to be the game-winner. After Stephens-Howling’s TD – the 7th game-opening kickoff TD in team history – the Raiders answered with a 22-yard TD pass to TE Zach Miller from new starting QB Bruce Gradkowski. Janikowski put Oakland up 10-7 with a 22-yard FG that was set up by an AZ special teams turnover, the first of 2 times the Raiders recovered a punt that deflected off a Cardinals blocker. Jay Feely then tied it with a 42-yard FG on a drive highlighted by Wells’ 24-yard run on his first carry and a 27-yard Raider pass interference call. After Janikowski put Oakland up 13-10 with a 54-yard FG, Anderson put AZ ahead 17-13 with his 2-yard TD pass to Breaston. New Cards LB Paris Lenon ended a 2nd quarter Raider drive with an INT but the Cards gave it back when a shovel pass was picked off by Oakland on the ensuing possession. That turnover set up a 2-yard Darren McFadden TD run just before the half. Midway through the 3rd, a 70-yard catch and run by WR Louis Murphy moved Oakland to the AZ13 but that drive ended with Janikowski’s miss from 41. Anderson then moved the Cards 69 yards in 7 plays with 3-3 passing for 41 yards and ended it with an 8-yard TD to Fitzgerald. Midway thru the 4th, the Raiders had a 1st-n-goal at the AZ1 thanks to a pass interference penalty but had to settle for a 23-yard FG when the Cards defense kept them out of the end zone. With 4:36 to play, Janikowski tried a 58-yard go-ahead FG that was long enough but right. AZ took over near midfield and on 3rd-n-5 with 3:40 to go, Breaston was open but couldn’t hold on to the tipped pass from Anderson. The Raiders converted a 3rd-n-9 and then a 4th-n-10; on the next play FJ Buddy Horton flagged Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie for pass interference, a 39-yard penalty to the AZ13 with 0:55 left. The Raiders took the clock down to :04 before sending out Janikowski for the ill-fated final FG try.

Game 4Chargers 41, CARDINALS 10

October 3, 2010 – Qualcomm Stadium (63,189) In a week 4 game at San Diego, Arizona squared off against the only NFL team ranked in the top 5 both offensively and defensively. The Chargers proved worthy of the distinction. Their top ranked offense had 419 total yards and TDs on its first 3 possessions including two to TE Antonio Gates. The #4 ranked defense held AZ to 124 yards, had 9 sacks and forced 3 turnovers; one they returned for a TD and another set one up. It all added up to a loss that dropped the Cardinals to 2-2. They remained in a 3-way tie for first place in the NFC West with the Rams & Seahawks and two ahead of 0-4 San Fran. Playing without #2 WR Steve Breaston and #3 WR Early Doucet, the Cards opened the game by moving deep into SD territory thanks to 3 catches by Larry Fitzgerald and a pair of key 3rd down conversions. An apparent 22-yard run by Tim Hightower was wiped out by a holding call and on the next play SS Steve Gregory INT’d a Derek Anderson pass intended for Fitzgerald at the SD 11. The Chargers then moved 89 yards in 8 plays and took a 7-0 lead on Philip Rivers’ 33-yard TD pass to TE Antonio Gates. The next AZ drive stalled after reaching the SD35 but the Cards defense made a big play on the ensuing series. On 2nd down from the SD 43, Darren Sproles took a pitch but after 2 yards was hit by CB Greg Toler, forcing a fumble. FS Kerry Rhodes scooped it up near the right sideline and raced 42 yards for a game-tying TD. The Chargers quickly surged back ahead with a 5-play drive that ended on Mike Tolbert’s 5-yard scoring run. They went up 21-7 on their next possession when Gates’ second TD of the day – a 26-yarder from Rivers – capped a 9-play, 65-yard drive. Things went from bad to worse for the Cards on the 3rd play of the next series when Anderson’s 3rd-n-13 pass was INT’d by LB Shaun Phillips and returned 31 yards for a TD. When the AZ offense returned to the field with 2:30 to play in the half, rookie Max Hall had replaced Anderson at QB. With Hall at the helm in the 2nd half and San Diego holding a sizable lead, the Cards offense continued to find the going tough. San Diego provided the only points of the 3rd quarter on a 48-yard Nate Kaeding FG and rookie Ryan Mathews first career TD run. That 15-yard TD came one play after LB Kevin Burnett sacked Hall, forcing a fumble that Luis Castillo recovered. Late in the 4th, Hall led a drive that culminated in a 53-yard Jay Feely FG that provided the game’s final points.

Game 5CARDINALS 30, Saints 20

October 10, 2010 – University of Phoenix Stadium (62,621) In a week 5 home game against the Super Bowl champs, few gave the Cardinals a chance at victory with undrafted rookie Max Hall making his first career start at QB. But with a gritty effort from Hall and a superb performance from the defense and special teams Arizona earned a 10-point win that moved them to 3-2 heading into the bye. The defense forced 4 turnovers - 2 of which were returned for TDs – and allowed the Saints just one TD in 4 red zone trips. The Cards became just the 2nd NFL team (Bears ’93) to score 30 points without a rushing or passing TD. The game did not begin well for Hall, who was picked off by CB Jabari Greer on the 3rd play from scrimmage. The Saints capitalized on the takeaway with a 31-yard John Carney FG and on their next series went up 10-0 when Drew Brees’ 1-yard TD pass to Jeremy Shockey capped an 11-play drive. LaRod Stephens-Howling returned the ensuing kickoff 48 yards to midfield which led to a 37-yard Feely FG. The next AZ drive ended with a punt from Ben Graham that Michael Adams downed at the 1, backing the Saints up to their own goal line. On the next play, Brees’ pass glanced off the hands of RB Ladell Betts and into the hands of LB Paris Lenon at the 4. On 3rd-n-goal at the 1, Hall scrambled and dove toward the end zone but was separated from the ball (and his helmet) on a hard hit from Anthony Hargrove. LT Levi Brown scooped it up and lunged into the end zone for his first career TD at any level. With the game tied at 13, the Saints went up just before the half on a 32-yard Carney FG. Following the goal-line hit, Hall sat out the final series of the 2nd quarter but returned after intermission. After sending the Saints 3-n-out to start the 3rd quarter, the Cards tied the game at 16 on Feely’s 44-yard FG. New Orleans then marched deep into AZ territory and had it 1st-n-goal at the 5 but was forced to settle for a 29-yard FG try that Carney missed wide left. The Cards responded with another sustained drive and took their first lead of the day with Feely’s 29-yard FG early in the 4th. On the 2nd play of the next drive, Darnell Dockett hit Betts in the backfield, forcing a fumble that Kerry Rhodes returned 27 yards for his 2nd

fumble recovery TD in as many weeks. With AZ now up 10, Greg Toler ended the next Saints drive with his INT off Brees. The teams then traded punts but with 1:55 left, Brees made it 23-20 with his 35-yard TD pass to Robert Meachem. Larry Fitzgerald recovered the Saints onside kick attempt but a punt gave the Saints one last chance when they took over at their own 9 with 0:24 left. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie then snuffed out that chance on the next play when he INT’d Brees and returned it 28 yards for the final score. � SAINTS 10 3 0 7 20 CARDINALS 0 10 3 17 30 Team Qtr.

Game 6Seahawks 22, CARDINALS 10

October 24, 2010 – Qwest Field (67,038) In a week 7 match-up of 3-2 teams battling for first place in the NFC West, the Seahawks took advantage of 5 Cardinals turnovers to claim a 22-10 win. That gave them sole possession of first place in the division on a day when the Rams and 49ers both lost. Only a strong showing from the AZ defense kept the game close. Despite frequent short fields due to turnovers (3 of which set Seattle up inside the AZ 20) the Cards D surrendered just one TD and forced Seattle to settle for Olindo Mare FGs on 5 other occasions. The lone TD came when Seattle took over at the AZ 2 following a muffed punt. After recording 8 sacks in the season’s first 5 games, the Cardinals defense recorded 5 of Matt Hasselbeck on this day. On the first drive of the game, Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch’s 39-yard run helped move the Hawks to the AZ 1 but tackles for losses backed them into a 20-yard Mare FG. On the 5th play of the next AZ series, Earl Thomas had an INT near midfield off Max Hall, the undrafted rookie QB who was making his 2nd career start and first on the road. However Alan Branch sacked Hasselbeck 3 plays later forcing a fumble that Darnell Dockett recovered at the SEA 45. The Cards were not able to capitalize and went 3-n-out. After trading punts, Tim Hightower ripped off a 24-yard run to the SEA 41 but at the end of a 13-yard rush on the next play he turned the ball over on a fumble. The Cards defense forced a 3-n-out but rookie Andre Roberts muffed the ensuing punt and after a mad scrum, the Seahawks recovered at the AZ 2. A Mike Williams TD pass from Hasselbeck made it 10-0 heading into the half. On the 3rd play after intermission, Hall was sacked and fumbled turning it over at the AZ11. A Joey Porter sack helped to force Seattle into another FG. RB Jason Wright then mishandled the ensuing kickoff and the Seahawks took over at the AZ 16. The Cards defense again kept them out of the end zone and held Seattle to just 3 points. When the AZ offense returned to the field down 16-0, it was with Derek Anderson at QB as a hit to the head on the sack/fumble play sidelined Hall. Behind Anderson’s passing (3-3, 42 yards) and Beanie Wells running (5-26), Arizona moved 70 yards in 8 plays and got on the scoreboard with Wells’ 2-yard TD run. Seattle responded with a long drive of its own (14 plays, 78 yards) that ended with another Mare FG (24). LaRod Stephens-Howling’s 71-yard kickoff return to the SEA 33 set-up a 24-yard Jay Feely FG early in the 4th. The next Seattle drive ended with yet another Mare FG midway thru the 4th that made it 22-10.

Game 7Buccaneers 38, CARDINALS 35

October 31, 2010 – University of Phoenix Stadium (61,857) In a wild back-n-forth game, the Cards erased a 17-point 2nd half deficit but were done in by 4 costly INTs and a handful of big plays by the Bucs. Starter Max Hall threw two picks that were returned for TDs before exiting in favor of Derek Anderson. He led the comeback effort but a costly INT in the closing minutes sealed Arizona’s fate. WR Steve Breaston returned from a 3-game absence (knee) and had a career-best 147 yards on 8 catches. Hall completed passes of 14 and 17 yards on Arizona’s 2nd drive and capped it with his first career TD – a 3-yarder to Larry Fitzgerald. The next AZ series ended when LB Geno Hayes INT’d a Hall pass and returned it 41 yards for the game-tying TD. Early in the 2nd a muffed punt by Tampa was recovered by LaRod Stephens-Howling at the TB16. That led to a 1-yard scoring run from second-year RB Beanie Wells, who made his first career start. After going 3-n-out on their first 3 drives, Tampa Bay but picked up its first 1st

down on a 31-yard Josh Freeman to Mike Williams pass. Two plays later the two connected on a 47-yard TD that tied it at 14. The Bucs surged ahead on the next drive when Aqib Talib returned another Hall INT 45 yards for a TD. Anderson then took over at QB and moved the Cards offense thanks largely to a leaping catch from Breaston that gained 33 yards to the TB 11. The drive produced no points though as the Cards went for it on 4th-n-2 at the 3 and Anderson’s pass was incomplete. The Bucs then marched 94 yards in 12 plays and went up 24-14 on Connor Barth’s 21-yard FG to close the half. Tampa went up 17 with 4:35 to go in the 3rd on LeGarrette Blount’s 15-yard TD run that capped an 8-play, 80-yard drive. The Cards answered with a long drive (7-76) that ended on Stephens-Howling’s 30-yard TD run. On the next play from scrimmage, Blount fumbled and Gerald Hayes was on the spot. The MLB who made his season debut following July back surgery returned the fumble 21 yards for a TD that trimmed the lead to 31-28. A Joey Porter sack killed the next drive and on the first play of the next AZ series Anderson hit Breaston with a 36-yard pass to the 12. On 3rd-n-3 from the 5, Anderson found Fitzgerald with the go-ahead TD. Down 35-31 with just over 7:00 to play Freeman picked up a 1st down on 4th-n-inches at the TB45 and on the next snap he found WR Arrelious Benn for a 53-yard completion to the 1. Blount carried it in a play later. AZ took over at its 19 but on 1st down Stephens-Howling was separated from a pass and LB Barrett Ruud corralled it for an INT. But after 2 stuffed runs and a Will Davis sack that lost 14 yards, Kerry Rhodes tipped Barth’s 53-yard FG try and the Cards took over at their own 32 down 3 with 3:16 to go. They reached the TB20 with 2:15 to play but Anderson’s 1st down pass to Fitzgerald was INT’d by Talib at the 6. � BUCCANEERS 7 17 7 7 38 CARDINALS 7 7 14 7 35 Team Qtr.

Game 8Vikings 27, CARDINALS 24 (OT)

November 7, 2010 – Mall of America Field (64,120) After coming up with key plays in all three phases throughout the game, the Cardinals were on the verge of a key road win at Minnesota and held a 14-point lead with 4 minutes to play. However, Brett Favre, who finished the game with a career-best 446 passing yards, led a pair of TD drives to force OT and the Vikings won it with a FG on their first possession of the extra period. The loss dropped the Cards to 3-5 at midseason but left them just a game off the NFC West lead. On Minnesota’s first possession, Kerry Rhodes picked off a Favre pass and returned it 66 yards to the 3 but was stripped by WR Greg Camarillo, sending the ball out the back of the end zone for a touchback. The game remained scoreless until Adrian Peterson’s 12-yard TD catch-n-run made it 7-0 early in the 2nd. LaRod Stephens-Howling then took the ensuing kickoff 96 yards for a game-tying TD. The Vikings responded by marching to the AZ3 but the Cards D stopped Peterson for no gain on 3rd-n-1 forcing a 21-yard Ryan Longwell FG. With 1:19 to go in the half, the Cards took over at their own 19. On 3rd-n-10 from there, Fitzgerald made a diving catch down the left sideline for 30 yards to keep the drive alive. It ended when Anderson hit Andre Roberts with a 5-yard pass that the rookie WR turned into a 30-yard TD that put AZ up 14-10 at intermission. On the opening kickoff of the 2nd half, returner Percy Harvin fumbled on a hit by O’Brien Schofield and Michael Adams returned the loose ball 30 yards for a TD; it was Arizona’s 4th return of an opponent fumble for a TD in ‘10, tying the NFL single-season record. Later in the 3rd, the Vikes had a 2nd-n-goal play at the 2 but Joey Porter hit Favre as he threw and Rashad Johnson picked the pass in the end zone to kill the drive. On the next drive, the Cardinals reached the MIN4 and came away with a 22-yard Jay Feely FG that made it 24-10 with 12:40 to play. Minnesota then launched a 16-play, 82-yard drive and faced a 4th-n-goal at the AZ1 with about 6:30 to go. However, they turned it over on downs when Favre’s pass was knocked down in the end zone by LB Paris Lenon. After taking over at the 1, the Cards could not pick up a 1st down and the Vikes took over at the AZ 40 after the punt. They quickly capitalized as Peterson’s 4-yard TD run made it 24-17. When AZ went 3-n-out on the next drive, MIN took over at its own 23 with 3:24 to play. A 33-yard Peterson pass play took it to the AZ 29 and the Vikes tied the game on Favre’s 25-yard scoring strike to TE Visanthe Shiancoe with 0:27 left, setting up OT. The Cards won the toss and received but were sent 3-n-out on their possession. MIN got the ball at its own 31; a 30-yard Peterson run on 1st down moved it to the AZ 39 and a 22-yard completion to Bernard Berrian preceded Longwell’s 35-yard FG that won it. � �

Game 9Seahawks 36, CARDINALS 18

November 14, 2010 – University of Phoenix Stadium (61,904) The Cardinals opened the 2nd half of the 2010 season with a key NFC West home game against Seattle; a win over the 4-4 Seahawks would put Arizona amid the division leaders. However, the Cards struggled to match the Seahawks defensively or offensively and suffered a 36-18 loss; it was their 4th straight defeat and dropped them to 3-6. It looked promising early for Arizona. LaRod Stephens-Howling returned the opening kickoff 52 yards to the AZ48 and a 33-yard completion from Derek Anderson to Larry Fitzgerald subsequently moved it to the 2. On the next play, Tim Hightower ran it in for Arizona’s first opening drive TD of the year. The Seahawks came right back with a 12-play, 77-yard drive that ended on a 1-yard Marshawn Lynch TD run and included 3 catches from Mike Williams to convert 3rd downs. Late in the 1st quarter the Cards couldn’t convert after starting at the SEA33 and following a punt, the Seahawks took over at their own 10. A 44-yard completion down the middle to TE Chris Baker set up a 41-yard Olindo Mare FG. Consecutive catches of 21 and 36 yards by Steve Breaston on the next AZ series moved it to the SEA 3 and led to Jay Feely’s 23-yard FG that tied the game at 10. However, Seattle surged ahead when Deon Butler and Matt Hasselbeck connected on a 63-yard pass play that made it 17-10. The Seahawks threatened again late in the half. With 1:10 left, they went for it on 4th-n-1 at the AZ16 but the Cards D stopped Hasselbeck short on a QB sneak. Hasselbeck missed the first two series of the 2nd half with a left wrist injury and Charlie Whitehurst took over. He led SEA to the AZ22 before Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie ended the drive with an INT that he returned 26 yards to the AZ44. After a 3-n-out from the Cards offense, the defense appeared to come up with another takeaway on a Williams fumble recovered by Joey Porter but it was changed to an incompletion after Seattle’s challenge. Mare’s subsequent 34-yard FG made it 20-10. On the next snap Anderson’s pass to Fitzgerald was tipped and INT’d by Kelly Jennings at the AZ32; the takeaway led to a Mare FG (19). Two plays later, Anderson was sacked forcing a fumble that Seattle recovered at the AZ17. The defense again forced them to settle for a Mare FG. Leon Washington’s 48-yard punt return following a Cardinals 3-n-out set the Seahawks up at the AZ11 and led to yet another Mare FG, this one a 19-yarder that made it 29-10. Arizona’s no huddle offense then moved 79 plays in 12 plays and produced a TD that trimmed the lead to 29-18 thanks to a 2-yard Anderson pass to Early Doucet and successful 2-point conversion. The Cards on-side kick attempt was unsuccessful and that effectively ended Arizona’s comeback hopes. � �

Game 10Chiefs 31, CARDINALS 13

November 21, 2010 – New Arrowhead Stadium (66,247)

On an unseasonably warm but breezy afternoon at Arrowhead, Arizona fell to 3-7 with a road loss to Kansas City that marked the team’s 5th straight defeat. The statistical battle was much closer than the final score. However, the Cardinals were hampered by a lack of efficiency on 3rd down (4-15), penalties (11-96) and a handful of missed opportunities. The Chiefs, who were led by former Cardinals assistant Todd Haley, improved to 6-4 with the victory in a game that featured no turnovers by either team. Arizona opened the contest by taking the opening drive and moving 51 yards to the KC25 but was forced to settle for a 36-yard Jay Feely FG that gave the visitors a 3-0 lead. After the teams traded a pair of punts, the Chiefs went ahead early in the 2nd quarter when Matt Cassel hit Dwayne Bowe with a TD pass on 3rd-n-goal from the one. The score was set-up when the pair connected on a 37-yard pass to the one yard line three plays earlier. The KC lead grew to 14-3 on the next Chiefs possession when RB Thomas Jones capped a 5 play, 69-yard drive with his 1-yard scoring run. It remained that way at intermission. Kansas City opened the 2nd half with another long scoring drive (9 plays, 80 yards) and Jones picked up his rushing 2nd TD of the afternoon with a 3-yard run. Arizona’s next drive reached the KC11 but again resulted in a Feely FG, this one a 29-yarder that made it 21-6 with 4:55 remaining in the 3rd quarter. The AZ defense sent the Chiefs 3-n-out on the next two drives but offensively the Cards could not cut into the lead. With 8:12 to play, Ryan Succop’s 23-yard FG extended the KC advantage to 24-6. The next drive saw the Cards turn it over on downs when they couldn’t convert a 4th-n-1 from their own 43 but the defense appeared to have the game’s first takeway on a Jamaal Charles fumble. However, KC successfully challenged that he was down by contact. On the next play after the reversal, Cassel hit Bowe with a 38-yard scoring pass. Arizona did not give up and closed the game with a 14-play, 83-yard drive that culminated in a Derek Anderson TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald. � �

Game 1149ers 27, CARDINALS 6

November 29, 2010 – University of Phoenix Stadium (63,208) In a Monday night match-up of 3-7 teams that would see the winner pull to within a game of the NFC West lead, the visiting Niners controlled the line of scrimmage and outplayed the Cardinals in all three phases of the game to earn a 27-6 win. It marked Arizona’s 6th straight defeat. Despite losing RB Frank Gore in the 1st quarter with a hip injury, San Fran was able to gain 261 yards on the ground. The majority of those yards came from veteran Brian Westbrook, who finished with 136 yards on 23 carries with a touchdown. The 49ers began the game by taking the opening kickoff and marching to the AZ20 but Shane Andrus’ FG try missed wide right. However, on Arizona’s first offensive play QB Derek Anderson and RB Beanie Wells mishandled an exchange and the 49ers recovered at the AZ38. On the very next snap, 49ers QB Troy Smith tossed a deep pass down the middle that WR Michael Crabtree hauled in for a 38-yard TD. Arizona responded by moving to the SF13, thanks mostly to a 43-yard Anderson pass to Wells down the right sideline. The Cards did not find the end zone but came away with a 31-yard Jay Feely TD that made it 7-3. San Fran’s Ted Ginn then returned the ensuing kickoff 41 yards to the Niners 45 to start a possession that ended on Anthony Dixon’s 1-yard scoring run. The score capped a 10-play drive that put SF up 14-3 late in the first. After a 3-n-out from the Cardinals, Ginn’s 42-yard punt return set the Niners up at the AZ42. Six plays later, Westbrook scored from 8 yards out to make it 21-3 midway thru the second. It looked like the Cards had cut into the lead on the next drive when they marched to the SF18 and Larry Fitzgerald came down in the end zone with an Anderson pass but the receiver lost control as he hit the ground. Instead the Cardinals came away with a 39-yard Feely FG that made it 21-6 late in the first half. With just over a minute remaining in the half, CB Michael Adams picked off a Smith pass that had deflected off Crabtree’s hands and the Cards took over at the SF42 with 1:13 left but could not capitalize. LaRod Stephens-Howling appeared to spark the Cards with an 83-yard return of the 2nd half’s opening kickoff but it was wiped out by a holding penalty. The Niners opening drive ended with a 27-yard FG try from Andrus but Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie blocked it. He could not block a 38-yarder on the next drive and the 49ers led 24-6 after three quarters. The only points of the fourth came on a 26-yard Andrus FG that was set-up by Takeo Spikes INT of Anderson. �
