THIS WEEK’S GAME The Cardinals travel to Seattle this week to take on the division rival Seahawks at CenturyLink Field. Looking for a much-needed victory, Arizona will be going for its third-straight win over Seattle, which includes a 20-16 victory in Week 1. The Cardinals fell 7-6 to the Jets last week in New York, negating another outstanding effort by Arizona’s defense. Playing against his former team for the first time, FS Kerry Rhodes tied a career high with two INTs while also adding a forced fumble to go with his six tackles. Having defeated Seattle in the season opener, a victory this week would mark Arizona’s first season sweep of its division opponent since 2009. The Cards 3rd ranked pass defense will look to slow down Seahawks rookie QB Russell Wilson, who has a passer rating of 100+ in four consecutive games. Continuing to play at an All-Pro level, LB Daryl Washington needs just one sack to become the first player in franchise history to reach 100 tackles and 10 sacks in a season. The Seahawks are coming off a 23-17 OT road win over the Chicago Bears. In a back-and-forth game, Wilson connected with WR Sidney Rice on a 13-yard TD pass on the Seahawks first possession of the extra period. The Cardinals offense has been hit hard by injuries at nearly every position this season. Last week, team captain C Lyle Sendlein (knee) became the 6th offensive player placed on IR and WR Andre Roberts missed the game with an ankle injury. Sendlein and Roberts became the 14th and 15th offensive players to miss a game this season. Arizona has lost 76 games to injuries on the offensive side of the ball and four rookies—tackles Bobby Massie and Nate Potter, WR Michael Floyd and QB Ryan Lindley—were among the starters in New York. Next week, the Cardinals return home to face the Detroit Lions while the Seahawks travel to Toronto to face the Buffalo Bills.

CARDINALS 20, Seahawks 16September 9, 2012 – University of Phoenix Stadium (60,032)

The Cardinals earned a hard-fought week 1 victory by relying on a stout defense and resilient offense. Despite taking over in some tough spots following turnovers and long kick returns, the AZ defense was strong and allowed just one TD in 70 plays. It helped keep the game close, especially as the offense struggled to find its rhythm in the 2nd half. However, that offense produced when it needed to most and under some very adverse conditions. Starter John Skelton, who had won the job in preseason, was knocked from the game with an ankle injury with just over 8 minutes to play. In came Kevin Kolb with the Cards down 3. He proved more than capable and led the go-ahead TD drive. After that, the Cards defense had to turn away one last Seattle threat in a furious and controversial finish. Seattle’s game-opening drive ended when Steven Hauschka’s 50-yard FG try was blocked by Calais Campbell, the 6th of his career. However 2 plays later RB Ryan Williams fumbled it back to SEA at the AZ42, setting up a 27-yard FG. The Cards answered with a 13-play, 75-yard drive that reached the 3 & tied it with a 21-yard Jay Feely FG. WR Andre Roberts keyed the effort with a 15-yard reverse and 2-26 receiving. AZ took the lead on its next drive when LaRod Stephens-Howling scored from a yard out to make it 10-3. The Cards took advantage of a Paris Lenon fumble recovery and went up 10 early in the 3rd thanks to a 31-yard Feely FG. That lead would soon disappear as Seattle scored 13 straight. Leon Washington’s 83-yard KOR set-up a 10-yard Russell Wilson TD pass to Sidney Rice. On the next play from scrimmage Skelton tried to throw it away but was INT’d on the sideline at the AZ34 by CB Richard Sherman. The Cards D forced Seattle to settle for a 47-yard game-tying FG. After a 3-n-out by AZ, Washington returned the ensuing punt 52 yards to the AZ16. Despite being handed another short field, the defense again answered and Seattle had to settle for a 39-yard FG after netting minus-5 yards in 3 plays. Trailing 16-13, a Skelton-to-Roberts pass gave AZ its first 1st down of the 2nd half with 8:18 to play. However, Skelton injured his ankle on the play and Kolb entered. Despite no reps during the week & little warm-up he crisply operated the hurry-up offense and moved the Cards to the SEA6. On 2nd-n-goal from there, he hit Roberts for the go-ahead TD. On the drive he was 6-8 passing for 66 yards and a TD. The Cards defense would then have to answer one more time. Seattle took over at its own 20 with 4:58 to play and 2 timeouts. With :52 to play they had advanced to the AZ13. From there the Seahawks would run 13 more plays and be given an extra timeout due to an officiating error amidst great confusion. However, they would not find the end zone and when Wilson’s 4th-n-goal pass from the 4 fell incomplete, Arizona emerged with the victory. � SEAHAWKS 3 0 10 3 16 CARDINALS 3 7 3 7 20 Team Qtr.

LAST WEEK’S GAMEGame 12

Jets 7, CARDINALS 6 December 2, 2012 – MetLife Stadium (79,088)

In a match-up of 4-7 teams desperate for a win, the Cardinals defense was again dominant and held the host Jets scoreless through three full quarters. However, the Arizona offense struggled and produced just 6 points on two Jay Feely FGs. So when 2nd-year QB Greg McElroy came on in relief of starter Mark Sanchez and threw a TD pass on the first play of the fourth quarter it was enough to carry the Jets to victory and hand Arizona its 8th consecutive loss. Rookie QB Ryan Lindley earned his 2nd straight start but he and the offense had a long afternoon at the Meadowlands, producing just 5 total first downs and failing to convert on 15 third down opportunities. Cardinals S Kerry Rhodes, a former Jet, recorded 2 of Arizona’s 3 INTs off Sanchez and was responsible for another takeaway when he forced a fourth quarter fumble. However, the offense – playing without starting C Lyle Sendlein (IR/knee) and WR Andre Roberts (inactive/ankle) – could not capitalize on those opportunities. Arizona’s most-promising offensive drive may have been its first when a 23-yard Lindley pass to Larry Fitzgerald helped move into NYJ territory but it stalled there. On New York’s first offensive play, Rhodes INT’d Sanchez and returned it to the NYJ26. The Cards gained 8 yards on 1st down but failed to convert on either 3rd-n-1 or 4th-n-1 and came away empty. The Jets threatened on their next 2 drives but came away pointless on both; first Nick Folk’s 46-yard FG bounced off the left upright and then Rhodes killed the next one after it had reached the AZ40 with another interception. A LaRon Landry INT off Lindley in the 2nd

quarter set the Jets up at the AZ37 but the game remained 0-0 when Folk’s FG again hit the upright, this time 52-yarder off the left one. The biggest play of the 1st half came with just over a minute to play and the Cards lined up to punt on 4th-n-7 at the AZ25. After receiving a direct snap, up-back Rashad Johnson picked up 40 yards to the NYJ35 and Feely’s 48-yarder as the half expired made it 3-0 at intermission. The teams opened the 3rd quarter by exchanging punts on the first six drives. When the Jets took over at their own 30 with 4:40 left in the 3rd McElroy came on to replace Sanchez at QB. That drive covered 69 yards in 10 plays thanks largely to RB Bilal Powell’s 5-36 rushing effort and concluded on 3rd-n-goal from the 1 when McElroy rolled to his right on a bootleg before tossing it to TE Jeff Cumberland for the TD After an AZ three-n-out, Rhodes & the Cardinals defense made another key play. On 3rd-n-6 from the NYJ35 McElroy dumped it off to RB Kahlil Bell out of the backfield but a hit from Rhodes forced the ball in the air and LB Daryl Washington snatched it at the NYJ35. From there the offense picked up a first down but had to settle for a 35-yard Feely FG that made it 7-6 with 10:39 to go. After an exchange of punts, the Jets took over at their own 26 with 7:55 and were able to run out the clock with a 13-play, 66-yard drive that kept the Cardinals from getting the ball back.

NOTES OF THE WEEK � The Cardinals enter this week’s game looking to improve to 16-12 all-time against the Seahawks, including 8-4 under head coach Ken Whisenhunt.� Arizona’s defense has posted 11 takeaways in the last three games, including nine INTs. � The Cardinals feature the NFL’s 7th ranked defense and 3rd

ranked pass defense—and will look to shut down Seattle rookie QB Russell Wilson, who has posted a passer rating of 100+ in each of the last four games. � LB Daryl Washington has 9.0 sacks in 2012, one shy of the franchise’s single-season mark for a LB (Ken Harvey, 1990). He also needs one sack to become the first Cardinals player in franchise history to record at least 100 tackles and 10 sacks in a season.� Facing his former team for the first time, FS Kerry Rhodesrecorded two INTs and a forced fumble against the Jets last week. � WR Larry Fitzgerald’s 106 career receptions against Seattle are the second-most of any player in NFL history (Tim Brown, 114)� Arizona looks toward the return of DE Calais Campbell, who has missed the last three games with a calf injury. Campbell thrives on the road at Seattle, having recorded at least one sack in each of his first three road starts against the Seahawks. � The Cardinals started four rookies on offense last week against the Jets, while veteran lineman Rich Ohrnberger made his first career start at center. Arizona has had 15 offensive players miss at least one game due to injury this season.

Washington and Campbell join a number of other teammates in looking for the opportunity to represent Arizona in the 2013 Pro Bowl. Fan voting is underway at www.nfl.com/probowl and through the team’s website at http://www.azcardinals.com/fan-zone/pro-bowl-ballot-2013. Fans can vote online through Monday, December 17. The 2013 Pro Bowl squads will be announced on Wednesday, December 26 on NFL Network’s “NFL Total Access.” The 2013 Pro Bowl will again be played at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu on January 27th.


THE NEXT BIG THING It only took the Cardinals two seasons to find out what they had in LB Daryl Washington, who the team moved up to select in the second round (47th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft. After just 31 games over those first two seasons—which featured a campaign in 2011 that saw him total 111 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, five sacks and two INTs—Washington had shown enough to earn a contract extension (signed on September 6th with two years remaining on his rookie deal) that keeps the rising star in Arizona for years to come. In addition to a team-leading 109 tackles so far in 2012, Washington is also leading the team with a career-high nine sacks, 13 QB pressures, 11 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles. He has also pitched in an INT and three passes defensed this season.

With nine sacks so far this season, Washington is just one sack away from tying the franchise single-season record for sacks by a LB. The current record is held by Ken Harvey, who totaled 10.0 sacks in 1990. Franchise Record—Sacks By a LB (Single Season) Sacks Player (Year) 10.0 Ken Harvey (1990) 9.5 Ken Harvey (1993) E.J. Junior (1984) 9.0 Daryl Washington (2012) Ken Harvey (1991) 8.0 Karlos Dansby (2006) Washington also needs one sack to become the first player in NFL history to record 100+ tackles and 10+ sacks in a single season. With one more sack, Washington would become just the fourth inside LB in NFL history to record at least 10.0 sacks in a season, since sacks became an official statistic in 1982. He would be the first to do so since New Orleans’ Charlie Clemons (13.5) in 2001. No ILB in the NFL has more sacks than Washington. Overall, he is currently tied for 10th in the NFL in sacks this season.

A STRONG DEFENSE The strength of the Cardinals this season has been the NFL’s 7th

ranked overall defense. Should Arizona maintain its current level of play on that side of the ball, it would finish the season with its highest overall ranking since 1994 (3rd).Franchise Record—Highest Defensive Rank (1970-2011) Rank Year Rush Pass 3rd 1994 4th 4th

� Recorded three INTs of Jets QB Mark Sanchez last week in New York.


TAKEAWAYS PILING UP The Cardinals defense has recorded 11 takeaways (9 INTs, 2 FR) over the past three games, giving the team 27 takeaways on the season. That ranks as the fourth-best total in the NFL in 2012 behind only Chicago (34), New England (33) and NY Giants (30). 2012 NFL Leaders—Takeaways TA Team INT FR 34 Chicago 20 14 33 New England 14 19 29 NY Giants 18 12 27 Arizona 18 9 26 Cleveland 14 12 26 Houston 14 12 Arizona has nine different players who have recorded at least one INT this season.

PETERSON GETS NUMBER 5 CB Patrick Peterson recorded his fifth INT of the season when he made a diving catch on a Mark Sanchez pass in the second quarter last week against the Jets. Peterson’s five INTs are a career high (4, 2011) and are tied for the second-best total in the NFL this season behind Chicago CB Tim Jennings (8). 2012 NFL Leaders—Interceptions INTs Player (Team) 8 Tim Jennings (Chicago) 5 Patrick Peterson (Arizona) Jairus Byrd (Buffalo) Thomas DeCoud (Atlanta) Stevie Brown (NY Giants) Casey Hayward (Green Bay) 4 10 players (including Arizona FS Kerry Rhodes)

Peterson’s INT last week against the Jets was his second in two games and fourth in the last eight games. With an INT this week, Peterson would become the first Cardinals players since Dexter Jackson (Games 14-16, 2003) to record an INT in three consecutive games.

APPLYING THE PRESSURE The Cardinals defense has recorded 33 sacks through the first 12 games this season. That total is tied with Miami for the sixth-best mark in the NFL.

ROOKIES IN ON THE ACTION During last week’s game against the Jets, the Cardinals started four rookies on offense—tackles Bobby Massie and Nate Potter, QB Ryan Lindley and WR Michael Floyd. That came a week after eight rookies saw action in Week 12 vs. St. Louis. So far this season, five of the Cardinals 2012 draft picks have started at least one game, and there are four who have appeared in all 12 games.

Another rookie, C Scott Wedige, was signed to the 53-man roster last week after the season-ending injury to Lyle Sendlein. Wedige attended training camp with the Cards as a rookie free agent.

RHODES SHINES VS. FORMER TEAM Since coming to Arizona in 2010 following a trade with the NY Jets, FS Kerry Rhodes has been one of the team’s most consistent playmakers on the defensive side of the ball. That was never more evident than last week against his former team when Rhodes posted six tackles, two INTs, three passes defensed and a forced fumble in his first game against the Jets since the trade. Rhodes became the first Arizona player with multiple INTs in a game since Adrian Wilson (2) at St. Louis in the 2010 season opener. During his time in Arizona, Rhodes has accumulated 200 tackles, eight INTs, six fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. He returned two of those fumble recoveries for TDs. Dating back to 2010, his first season in Arizona, Rhodes joins Green Bay S Charles Woodson as the only players in the NFL with at least eight INTs and four sacks—despite Rhodes missing 10 games in that span with injuries.

CAREER HIGH FOR WILLIAMS NT Dan Williams posted a career-high 10 tackles against the Jets last week. Prior to his performance against New York, Williams had never posted more than six tackles in a game. Last week’s game was the continuation of an outstanding four-game stretch for Williams. After posting no more than three tackles in any of the first eight games this season, the third-year pro has recorded at least four tackles in three of the past four games.After his 10-tackle performance last week, Williams now has 29 tackles on the season. He needs just nine tackles to establish a new single-season high, which currently sits at 37 (2010).


CARDS UNDER WHISENHUNT During the 2011 season, Ken Whisenhunt established a franchise record for career wins by a head coach. The victory over the Cleveland Browns in Week 15 was the 43rd

of his career, surpassing 2012 Hall of Fame nominee Don Coryell (42, 1973-77) for the franchise all-time lead.

Whisenhunt now needs just two wins to reach the 50-win milestone for his career (including postseason).

80 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP In 1932, Charles W. Bidwill agreed to purchase the Chicago Cardinals from then-owner Dr. David Jones and the team has remained in the Bidwill family ever since. A prominent figure in the history of the National Football League, Charles Bidwill was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1967. Upon his passing in 1947, his wife Violet retained control of the franchise and ran the Cardinals for the next 15 years until her passing in 1962. Control of the team them moved to her sons Charles and William (Bill). Bill, whose association with the Cardinals began as a ball boy on Chicago’s South Side, became the sole owner and chief executive officer in 1972 and his involvement with the team - now in its eighth decade - continues today. Mr. B remains a constant fixture at team functions as well as the Cardinals Tempe training facility where the responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the team today resides with his son and team president, Michael. Michael Bidwill joined the Cardinals in 1996 as Vice President/General Counsel after practicing law for six years as a federal prosecutor. He has established his own legacy with the franchise that has included spearheading the effort that led to the creation of University of Phoenix Stadium and the team’s greatest period of success, both on the field and off. “It’s always been a great sense of pride for our family to be associated with the National Football League,” said Cardinals owner Bill Bidwill. “It is a privilege that also carries a great sense responsibility to our fans and fans of the league that we do all we can to make sure our team and game are of the highest quality. We take that responsibility very seriously.” Founded in 1898, the Cardinals are the oldest continuously run franchise in professional football. They were a charter member of the National Football League when it began in 1920; the Cardinals and Bears are the only charter members of the NFL still in existence today.

DRAFTING WELL Cardinals General Manager Rod Graves is one of the NFL’s longest–tenured football decision makers, having led the team’s personnel department since 2003. A native of Houston, Graves is in his 16th season with the Cardinals organization after joining the team in 1997 as the Assistant to the President. He was promoted to Vice President, Football Operations in 2003 and General Manager in 2007. Graves is one of six African American general managers in the NFL, joining Baltimore’s Ozzie Newsome, Houston’s Rick Smith, Detroit’s Martin Mayhew, the Giants Jerry Reese and Oakland’s Reggie McKenzie. Graves oversees all facets of the team’s football operations and has seen considerable success in building the team. One of the main ways Graves has built the team is through the NFL Draft. The Cardinals have received high praise for their successful draft classes under Graves, especially in recent years. Current Cardinals Pro Bowl players such as CB PatrickPeterson, WR Larry Fitzgerald, DT Darnell Dockett, and SS Adrian Wilson were all acquired through the draft. Other rising stars recently identified and brought in by Graves include DE Calais Campbell, LBs Daryl Washington and Sam Acho, RBs Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams, WR Andre Roberts and NT Dan Williams.Of the 22 Cardinals starters that began the season against Seattle, 13 were draft choices of the team during Graves’ tenure while one other starter (C Lyle Sendlein) joined the team as an undrafted rookie free agent. Of the Cardinals 22 draft picks between 2010-12, 10 are already full-time starters and 15 are every day players who see significant action on game days.


BEYOND THE RECORDS In his first eight NFL seasons, WR 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.

YOUNGEST EVER TO 700 With nine catches against the Eagles in Week 2, WR Larry Fitzgerald surpassed 700 career receptions. At 29 years, 23 days old, Fitzgerald became the youngest player in NFL history to reach that mark. He reached the milestone over a year younger than the previous record holder—Dallas TE Jason Witten (30 years, 133 days old). Witten reached 700 receptions in the Cowboys 27-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2 earlier this season.

� At 22 years, 123 days old, became the youngest player in NFL history to record a 100-catch season.

10,000 YARDS YOUNG After hauling in six receptions for 93 yards against the Bills in Week 6, WR Larry Fitzgerald eclipsed 10,000 receiving yards for his career. At 29 years, 44 days old, he joined Randy Moss (28 years, 314 days) as the only two players in NFL history to reach 10,000 career receiving yards before the age of 30.

ANOTHER RECORD FOR FITZ After hauling in eight receptions against the Rams in Week 5, WR Larry Fitzgerald reached 122 consecutive games with a catch, establishing a new franchise record. He has extended that record since, reaching 129 games against the Jets last week.

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 (189).


HEADING TO THE HALL? Below is a look at the career of WR Larry Fitzgerald through his first 136 career games compared to the 21 modern era WRs currently in the HOF and where they stood at that point in their career.

At this point in his career, Fitzgerald has more receptions (749) than any of the receivers enshrined in Canton—by a large margin. The next closest receiver is Jerry Rice, who had 682 receptions through his first 136 career games.

Fitzgerald has more receiving yards (10,265) than all HOF receivers except Rice (11,403), Michael Irvin (10,483) and Lance Alworth (10,266).

A Career Full of Accomplishments: � Franchise career leader in receptions (749), receiving yards (10,265), receiving TDs (77), total TDs (77) and 100-yard receiving

games (33). His six 1,000-yard seasons are a franchise record, as are his current streak of five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.� One of just four players in NFL history to record at least 1,400 receiving yards in a season four times in their career: Jerry Rice

(6), Randy Moss (4) and Marvin Harrison (4). � At 28 years, 74 days old, he became the third-youngest player in NFL history to reach 70 career receiving TDs behind only

Randy Moss (26 years, 269 days old) and Hall of Famer Jerry Rice (28 years, one day old). � At 28 years, 81 days old, he became the second-youngest player in NFL history to reach 9,000 career receiving yards, trailing

only Randy Moss (27 years, 310 days old). � At 27 years, 110 days old, he became the youngest player in NFL history to reach 600 career receptions. � In 2010, he became the first player in NFL history to record 90+ receptions five times in their first seven seasons. � During the 2008 postseason, he broke virtually every major playoff receiving record, establishing new single-season marks for

receptions (30), receiving yards (546) and TDs (7). His four 100-yard receiving games that postseason established a new NFL record for consecutive games with 100 yards receiving.

� His nine TD receptions in six career postseason games are an NFL record for a player in their first six career playoff contests.� With a franchise record 103 receptions during the 2005 season, he became the youngest player in NFL history to record a 100-

catch campaign when he reached the mark at 22 years, 123 days old. � Led the NFL in receiving TDs in both the 2008 (12) and 2009 (13) seasons. In addition to his 10 receiving TDs in 2007, he

became the first player in franchise history to record at least 10 TDs in three consecutive seasons. � At 29 years, 23 days old when the Cardinals faced the Eagles in Week 3, Fitzgerald became the youngest player in NFL history

to reach 700 career receptions. The previous record was held by Dallas TE Jason Witten, who was 30 years, 133 days old when he reached the mark in Week 2 of the 2012 season.

A SPECIAL AWARD FOR FITZ On August 13, Fitzgerald was honored as the recipient of the 14th annual Arthur S. Arkush Humanitarian Award by Pro Football Weekly. The award is given to an NFL player whose contributions to the community and charitable organizations are especially outstanding. Fitzgerald’s work in the community is plentiful and far-reaching. He was honored by Pro Football Weekly for his work with the Larry Fitzgerald First Down Fund, which funds positive activities for kids during the summer and throughout the year, with programs in Arizona, Minneapolis and Chicago. It also makes significant contributions — in time, money and resources — to numerous organizations throughout the United States. His work with the Carol Fitzgerald Memorial Fund, which was established in honor of his late mother, who passed away from breast cancer in 2003, offers support of causes that Fitzgerald’s mother held dear, including educating urban youth about HIV/AIDS and breast cancer issues. Fitzgerald has served as a key figure in the NFL’s annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month. He served as an NFL spokesman for the league-wide initiative “A Crucial Catch” the last three years. Fitzgerald has traveled to Africa numerous times over the last few years, both with his good friend Anquan Boldin and on behalf of the Starkey Hearing Foundation. His most recent trip was in late July just prior to the start of training camp when he flew to Uganda to assist President Clinton and his daughter Chelsea fit hearing aids for those in need. PFW also cited Fitzgerald’s use of social media to further his humanitarian work. Through Twitter and Facebook, he connects with his huge following of fans (currently over 1.3 million followers) with his Gimme 5 Fridays with Fitz initiative, in which he tweets and asks “Team Fitzgerald” to text HAND to 50555 and $5 is given to Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

CHART TOPPERS With 77 career TD receptions, the most recent coming in Week 9 at Green Bay, Fitzgerald ranks fourth on the NFL’s career TD receptions list among active players (regular season only). Only San Francisco WR Randy Moss (155), Atlanta TE Tony Gonzalez (102) and San Diego TE Antonio Gates (80) have more TD receptions than Fitzgerald, who has appeared in fewer games (136) than any other players in the top 10 other than Marques Colston (98).

OVER 100 AGAINST TWO After posting three receptions against the Rams in Week 12, Fitzgerald now has 102 career receptions against St. Louis.

Combined with the 106 career catches against Seattle, Fitzgerald became just the fourth active player to reach 100 receptions against two separate opponents, joining Tony Gonzalez, Reggie Wayne and Jason Witten.

A CAREER YEAR FOR ROBERTS After coming on strong during the second half of the 2011 season, third year WR Andre Roberts is enjoying a breakout campaign in 2012. Through 11 games, the third-year receiver out of The Citadel has already achieved career highs in receiving yards (639) and receiving TDs (5), while his 50 receptions leave him just two catches shy of setting a new career mark. His previous career marks of 51 receptions, 586 yards and two TDs came in 2011. Roberts’ five TD receptions this season have already surpassed the mark from his previous two seasons combined (4). In Week 12 against the Rams, Roberts established a career single-game high with nine receptions. It marked the third time in five games that Roberts established or matched his career high for receptions in a game. Roberts began to emerge as a playmaker for the Cardinals over the team’s final nine games last season. After totaling 13 receptions for 133 yards through the first seven games, he totaled 38 catches for 453 yards and two TDs over the final nine outings. Combined with his performance through 11 games this season, Roberts production over the last 20 games easily overshadows his output through his first 22 career games.

� Roberts had the biggest game of his NFL career against the Dolphins in Week 4, establishing career single-game highs with 118 receiving yards and two receiving TDs.

� Hauled in a game-winning six-yard TD reception in the season opener against Seattle in the fourth quarter. Also caught a 15-yard TD pass with under 30 seconds remaining in regulation during the Week 4 win against Miami that led to OT.

BIG CONTRIBUTIONS Second-year TE Rob Housler, the team’s third round selection (69th overall) in the 2011 NFL Draft, has seen a steady increase in his production over the last 10 games, culminating in the Week 12 game vs. St. Louis. Against the Rams, Housler posted career highs with eight receptions for 82 yards. His 82 yards were the most by a Cardinals TE since Rob Awalt posted 105 yards on 11/12/89 vs. Dallas. After posting four receptions for 15 yards last week in New York, Housler has now hauled in 36 receptions for 368 yards through the first 12 games, with both totals easily outpacing his production from his rookie season (12 receptions for 133 yards in 12 games).

INJURIES PILE UP ON OFFENSE The Cardinals have been hit hard by injuries this season, particularly on offense. Players on that side of the ball have already missed a combined 76 games due to injuries in 2012.

ANOTHER BIG DAY FOR L-S-H Making his fifth start of the season in place of injured RBs Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams, LaRod Stephens-Howling had a career day against the Falcons in Week 11, rushing for a career-high 127 yards and a TD on 22 attempts (5.8 avg.). The performance against Atlanta marked the second career 100-yard rushing game for Stephens-Howling, with both coming in a span of four games. He posted 104 yards in the Week 7 matchup at Minnesota. Stephens-Howling as the Primary Back � Included in his rushing total in Atlanta were runs of 40

and 52 yards, both of which were longer than any of his 140 career rushing attempts entering the game (he had a career-long run of 39 yards entering the game).

� In his five starts this season, Stephens-Howling has rushed 78 times for 310 yards (4.0 avg.) and three TDs.

� He has four rushing TDs this season, after totaling one rushing TD in his first three seasons combined.

POWELL STEPS UP With injuries hitting the Cardinals backfield, RB William Powell has emerged and played an important role in Arizona’s offense this season. Getting to Know William Powell—Quick Fact Sheet � Played two seasons at Kansas State after transferring

from Navarro Community College, where he was a walk-on. Played in 15 games for the Wildcats and totaled 23 carries for 250 yards and four TDs. Also returned 21 kickoffs for 726 yards and a TD.

� After signing with the Cards as a rookie free agent in 2011, spent part of last season on the practice squad.

� Following his release during final roster cuts after the Cards 2011 training camp, returned to Kansas and took a job working in a Best Buy warehouse. In December of 2011, received a call from the Cardinals and signed to the practice squad near the end of last season.

� Led the NFL in rushing during the 2012 preseason, totaling 249 yards and three TDs on 42 carries.


A SOLID RETURN Entering the 2012 season as a backup, QB Kevin Kolb vowed to be ready when called upon this season and that is exactly the scenario that played out in the season opener against Seattle. Starter John Skelton went down with an ankle injury during the Cardinals final offensive drive and with the Cards down 16-13, Kolb entered the contest and completed 6 of 8 attempts for 66 yards, including a game-winning six-yard TD pass to WR Andre Roberts with just under five minutes remaining. Kolb put together a number of solid outings and led the team to a 4-2 record to start the season before suffering a rib injury late in the game vs. Buffalo in Week 6. Perhaps his gutsiest performance came in leading the Cardinals past the Miami Dolphins 24-21 in OT in Week 4. In the victory, he completed 29 of 48 pass attempts (60.4%) for 324 yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs and a passer rating of 84.0. Kolb led the Cards on the game-tying TD drive in the fourth quarter, throwing a 15-yard TD pass to WR Andre Roberts on fourth down with only 22 seconds left in regulation, forcing OT. Solid In The Last Eight In the last eight games in which he has appeared, Kolb has: � Completed 126 of 209 attempts (60.3%) for 1,418 yards, eight TDs

and three INTs � Has thrown two game-winning TD passes and a game-tying TD

pass that sent the Week 4 game into OT, which the Cards won.

YEAR THREE FOR SKELTON QB John Skelton proved in his first two seasons in the NFL that he could win games for the Cards. After posting a 5-2 record as a starter in 2011, Skelton earned his eighth career victory (8-4) with the win over Seattle in the ’12 opener. He also improved to 6-0 at home as a starting QB. Skelton became the first Cardinals QB of the Super Bowl era to win his first six home starts and he is the first NFL QB to do so since the 49ers Shaun Hill (7 straight wins, 2007-09).

Playing under less than ideal circumstances in 2011, the second-year player out of Fordham took advantage of his opportunities when starter Kevin Kolb went down with injuries over the second half of the season. After helping the Cardinals recover from a 1-6 start to win seven of their final nine games, Skelton earned his way into the preseason battle for the starting QB spot.

In Week 1 vs. Seattle, Skelton was knocked out of the game with an ankle injury that forced him to miss the next four games. Skelton returned to action in Week 6, entering the game against Buffalo in the fourth quarter after Kolb left due to injury, and he started four games before serving a backup role the last two weeks.

Skelton has started 16 of the 19 games he has appeared in, completing 249 of 456 pass attempts for 3,639 yards, 15 TDs and 21 INTs. He has an 8-8 record as a starter, including a 6-1 record at home.

LINDLEY MAKES THE START QB Ryan Lindley, selected by the Cardinals with their second selection of the sixth round (185th overall) in this year’s draft, earned a spot on the 53-man roster with an impressive training camp and preseason performance.

After serving as a backup for the first nine games, Lindley saw his first NFL action in Week 11 against Atlanta. After entering the game in the second quarter, the former San Diego State star finished the game having completed 9 of 20 pass attempts.

Lindley earned his first career start in Week 12 when the Cardinals hosted the St. Louis Rams. He completed 31 of 52 pass attempts for 312 yards, with four INTs. Lindley’s 52 pass attempts, 31 completions and 312 passing yards were all franchise records for a rookie making their first start.

Lindley started his second game of the season last week in New York against the Jets. He was one of four rookies to start on offense, joining tackles Nate Potter and Bobby Massie and WR Michael Floyd. Lindley completed 10 of 31 pass attempts for 72 yards against the Jets.

A four-year starter at San Diego State, Lindley established a school record with 49 consecutive starts. He also established Mountain West Conference career records for pass completions (961), pass attempts (1,732), passing yards (12,690), starts (49) and total plays (1,822).

MEANINGFUL WINS Kolb had a number of signature games and plays under his belt in the early part of the season. Kolb’s Highlights in 2012 � Threw two fourth quarter TD passes, including a 15-yarder on 4th-n-

10 with under 30 seconds remaining in regulation as he led the Cardinals back from a 13-0 halftime deficit against the Dolphins in Week 4.

� Making his first appearance against the team that selected him in the second round (36th overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft and sent him to the Cardinals in a trade prior to the 2011 season, Kolb posted one of the finest outings of his career in taking down the Eagles in Week 3. He completed 17 of 24 pass attempts (70.8%) for 222 yards, two TD, no INTs and a passer rating of 127.4. His 70.8 completion percentage was the second-highest of his career (79.3 vs. Atlanta, 10/17/10) while his passer rating of 127.4 ranked as the third-best of his career (133.6 vs. Atlanta, 10/17/10; 130.0 vs. Carolina, 9/11/11).

� Making his first start since Week 14 of last season, Kolb led the Cardinals to a 20-18 victory over the New England Patriots at Foxborough in Week 2 having completed 15 of 27 pass attempts for 140 yards, a TD, no INTs and a passer rating of 82.3. He also posted 20 rushing yards and a TD, with his five-yard TD run in fourth quarter proving to be the game’s deciding score.

� After watching from the sidelines for most of the game, Kolb entered the Week 1 contest in the fourth quarter in place of the injured John Skelton and promptly led the Cardinals on an 11-play, 80-yard TD drive that was capped with his game-winning TD pass to Andre Roberts with under five minutes remaining.

A RUSHING RECORD FOR KOLB In the Week 6 game vs. Buffalo, Kolb rushed for 66 yards on five attempts (13.2 avg), establishing a single-game franchise record for rushing yards by a QB.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS WEEK � With a win this week, the Cardinals would post a season

sweep of the Seahawks for the first time since 2009 and for the third time in five seasons.

LB Daryl Washington � With a sack, Washington would tie the franchise single-season record for sacks by a LB (10.0). He would also become the first Cardinals player to record double-digit sacks in a season since Bertrand Berry (14.5) in 2004. � With a sack, Washington would also become just the fourth inside LB in NFL history to record at least 10.0 sacks in a season.

WR Larry Fitzgerald � Needs nine receptions to surpass Tim Brown (114) as the player with the most career receptions against Seattle.

WR Andre Roberts � Needs two receptions to establish a new career high for a single season. Currently sits at 50 receptions and his career high is 51 (2011).

QUIETLY HAVING A GREAT SEASON During his first season in Arizona in 2011, veteran P Dave Zastudil had an outstanding campaign. He punted 87 times for a career-high 3,929 yards and averaged 45.2 yards per punt, the fourth-highest total in franchise history. Zastudil has fared even better this season, excelling at both distance and accuracy. Punting For Distance Zastudil is averaging 46.6 yards per punt this season (83 for 3,868), which puts him on pace to make a run at the franchise all-time record for a single season. Franchise Record—Punting Average (Season) Avg Player (Year) Punts-Yds 47.0 Ben Graham (2009) 86-4,045 45.6 Jerry Norton (1960) 39-1,778 45.3 Rich Camarillo (1991) 76-3,445 45.2 Dave Zastudil (2011) 87-3,929 44.9 Scott Player (2006) 66-2,965 44.9 Jerry Norton (1959) 59-2,649

Through 12 games, six of Zastudil’s punts this season have covered at least 60 yards. In Week 4 vs. Miami, Zastudil booted a 68-yarder that ranks as the second-longest punt in franchise history (73, Rich Camarillo, 9/20/92 at Dallas). Inside the 20 Zastudil has landed 30 punts inside the 20-yard line. That is tied for the second-highest total in the NFL behind Kansas City’s Dustin Colquitt (33). Zastudil joins Colquitt, the Niners Andy Lee and Green Bay’s Tim Masthay as the four players on pace to make a run at the NFL record for punts inside the 20. That record (42) is currently held by three players—Andy Lee (SF, 2007), Ben Graham (Ari, 2009), Steve Weatherford (NYJ, 2010).

He became just the third player in team history to accomplish the feat, joining Ben Graham (11/29/09 at Tennessee) and Scott Player (10/20/02 vs. Dallas).


ADRIAN SIGNS AGAIN Now in his 12th season, S Adrian Wilson is the team’s longest tenured player and has been with Arizona since the team selected him in the 2001 NFL Draft. Wilson is one of just six players selected in 2001 still with the team that selected them. Players Selected in 2001 Draft Still With Original Team Player Team Rnd Pick Jeff Backus Detroit 1st 18th overall Casey Hampton Pittsburgh 1st 19th overall Reggie Wayne Indianapolis 1st 30th overall Dominic Raiola Detroit 2nd 50th overall Adrian Wilson Arizona 3rd 64th overall Steve Smith Carolina 3rd 74th overall

The day the team reported to camp this season, Wilson signed his third extension with the Cards, ensuring that the franchise staple will continue on with Arizona. Wilson’s first two extensions came on 12/22/04 and 6/4/09 and were both five-year deals. Wilson has appeared in 177 career games with Arizona. That marks the 8th highest games played total in franchise history. It also means that Wilson has played in more games as an Arizona Cardinal than any player in the team’s history following the team’s relocation to the Valley in 1988. Among defenders, it surpasses Hall of Fame S Larry Wilson for the third-most of any defender in team history (193-DB Roger Wehrli; 180-LB Larry Stallings). Franchise Record—Games Played (Career) G Player (Position) Years 234 Jim Bakken (K) 1962-78 199 Jim Hart (QB) 1966-83 198 Jackie Smith (TE) 1963-77 193 Roger Wehrli (CB) 1969-82 189 Luis Sharpe (T) 1982-94 180 Larry Stallings (LB) 1963-76 178 Ernie McMillan (T) 1961-74 177 Adrian Wilson (S) 2001- 169 Roy Green (WR) 1979-90 Larry Wilson (S) 1960-72 If he appears in the remaining four games in 2012, Wilson will reach 181 games played, moving him into sixth place. It will also mean he will have appeared in more games than any Cardinals defensive player other than Hall of Fame CB Roger Wehrli (193).

FINDING THE QUARTERBACK Wilson has been known throughout his career for his ability to get to the quarterback.

THE 20-20 MAN Wilson has had a long list of individual accomplishments during his first 11 seasons with the Cardinals, including five Pro Bowl appearances and numerous NFL single-season records. One of the most significant is his inclusion on an exclusive list of NFL players who have recorded at least 20 INTs and 20 sacks in their career. In 2009, Wilson reached the career milestone, becoming just the 10th player in NFL history with at least 20 sacks and 20 interceptions. Since Wilson accomplished the feat in ’09, S Lawyer Milloy (2010) and LB Brian Urlacher (2011) have also joined the list, becoming the 11th and 12th players to reach the 20/20 club.

CARDS ALUM UP FOR THE HALL A couple of former Cardinals are among the 27 modern-era semi-finalists being considered for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2013. The list of semifinalists is typically limited to 25 names, but this year there are 27 resulting from a three-person tie for the final position. The Hall of Fame’s by-laws provides that the list shall consist of “twenty-five nominees plus all ties.” 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 2012 is former coach Don Coryell. 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 27 semi-finalists will be reduced to 15 modern-era finalists in early January, 2013. That list will increase to 17 with the inclusion of two recommended candidates from the HOF Senior Committee—DT Curley Culp (1968-81) and LB Dave Robinson (1963-74). The Hall of Fame Class of 2013 will be determined at the Selection Committee’s annual meeting on Saturday, February 2, in New Orleans the day before Super Bowl XLVII and the class with be enshrined on August 3rd in Canton.


MANY GREAT RETURNS As much as CB Patrick Peterson is focused on becoming one of the game’s top cover corners, it is impossible to ignore the things he did as a punt returner as a rookie in 2011.

Peterson tied the NFL record and became just the fourth player in NFL history to return four punts for TDs in a single season. He joined Jack Christiansen (Detroit, 1951) as the only rookies in NFL history with four punt return TDs.

NFL Record-Punt Return TDs In a Single Season TDs Player, Team, Year 4 Patrick Peterson, Arizona, 2011+ Devin Hester, Chicago, 2007 Rick Upchurch, Denver, 1976 Jack Christiansen, Detroit, 1951+ 3 Devin Hester, Chicago, 2010 Johnnie Lee Higgins, Oakland, 2008 Reggie Bush, New Orleans, 2008 Adam Jones, Tennessee, 2006 Devin Hester, Chicago, 2006+ Eric Metcalf, San Diego, 1997 Darrien Gordon, Denver, 1997 Desmond Howard, Green Bay, 1996 LeRoy Irvin, Los Angeles, 1981 Billy (White Shoes) Johnson, Houston, 1975 Emlen Tunnell, NY Giants, 1951 +Rookie season

With punt return TDs of 89, 82, 99 and 80 yards, Peterson became the first player in NFL history with four punt return TDs of 80+ yards in a single season.

In NFL history there have been six players who have returned a punt 80+ yards for a TD at least four times in their career. Peterson did so in his first 31 career returns.

Players With 4 Punt Return TDs of 80+ Yards (Career) TDs Player (Team) Years Returns 5 Devin Hester (Chi) 2006- 232 Eric Metcalf (Cle, SD, Was) 1989-2002 351 4 Patrick Peterson (Ari) 2011- 84 Darrien Gordon (SD, Den) 1993-2002 314 Dante Hall (KC, StL) 2000-2008 216 Tamarick Vanover (KC) 1995-2002 197

In franchise history, there have been 10 punt return TDs of at least 80 yards and Peterson has four of them.

Prior to Peterson, the last Cardinals player to return a punt 80+ yards for a TD was Chuck Latourette (86 yards) in 1968.

\NOBODY BETTERDT Darnell Dockett has been a consistently dominate force along the Cardinals defensive line since entering the league as Arizona’s third round draft selection in 2004. In that time, no player at his position has appeared in more games (138) than Dockett, who has started 137 of 138 career games. When he sat out the Cardinals Week 4 victory over the Dolphins, it was just the second missed game of Dockett’s career, with the only other game coming on 11/14/10 vs. Seattle when a shoulder injury held him out, snapping a streak of 104 consecutive games played. Dockett has been more than resilient—he has been one of the game’s most dominant at his position. Dating back to 2007, no DT in the NFL has more sacks than Dockett’s 30.5.

GROVES HITTING A GROOVE LB Quentin Groves has enjoyed a career resurgence with the Cardinals. A former second round draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2008, Groves has recorded 19 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a pass defensed in his three starts since taking over for the injured O’Brien Schofield. After recording 2.5 sacks in his first four NFL seasons, Groves has three sacks in 12 games with Arizona, including a takedown of Rams QB Sam Bradford in Week 12. For the year, Groves has recorded 35 tackles, three sacks, a tackle for loss, a pass defensed, a forced fumble and seven QB pressures. He posted a career-high seven tackle in Week 11 at Atlanta and has followed that up with six tackles each of the last two weeks. Following his recent hot stretch, Groves now needs just six tackles to establish a new career high. His current high for a season is 40 (2010). Entering the 2012 season, Groves had a single-game career high of six tackles, which he reached twice in 63 games. Groves has 7, 6, and 6 tackles in the last three games for Arizona.

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 following the vote.

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, when the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Super Bowl XLII brought with it an estimated economic impact of $500 million, with nearly 100,000 out-of-state visitors and thousands of media members from around the world visiting the Valley. With Super Bowl XLIX being held in Glendale, Arizona becomes one of just six host sites to be selected to host the Super Bowl at least three times.

Game 1 CARDINALS 20, Seahawks 16

September 9, 2012 – University of Phoenix Stadium (60,032) The Cardinals earned a hard-fought week 1 victory by relying on a stout defense and resilient offense. Despite taking over in some tough spots following turnovers and long kick returns, the AZ defense was strong and allowed just one TD in 70 plays. It helped keep the game close, especially as the offense struggled to find its rhythm in the 2nd half. However, that offense produced when it needed to most and under some very adverse conditions. Starter John Skelton, who had won the job in preseason, was knocked from the game with an ankle injury with just over 8 minutes to play. In came Kevin Kolb with the Cards down 3. He proved more than capable and led the go-ahead TD drive. After that, the Cards defense had to turn away one last Seattle threat in a furious and controversial finish. Seattle’s game-opening drive ended when Steven Hauschka’s 50-yard FG try was blocked by Calais Campbell, the 6th of his career. However 2 plays later RB Ryan Williams fumbled it back to SEA at the AZ42, setting up a 27-yard FG. The Cards answered with a 13-play, 75-yard drive that reached the 3 & tied it with a 21-yard Jay Feely FG. WR Andre Roberts keyed the effort with a 15-yard reverse and 2-26 receiving. AZ took the lead on its next drive when LaRod Stephens-Howling scored from a yard out to make it 10-3. The Cards took advantage of a Paris Lenon fumble recovery and went up 10 early in the 3rd thanks to a 31-yard Feely FG. That lead would soon disappear as Seattle scored 13 straight. Leon Washington’s 83-yard KOR set-up a 10-yard Russell Wilson TD pass to Sidney Rice. On the next play from scrimmage Skelton tried to throw it away but was INT’d on the sideline at the AZ34 by CB Richard Sherman. The Cards D forced Seattle to settle for a 47-yard game-tying FG. After a 3-n-out by AZ, Washington returned the ensuing punt 52 yards to the AZ16. Despite being handed another short field, the defense again answered and Seattle had to settle for a 39-yard FG after netting minus-5 yards in 3 plays. Trailing 16-13, a Skelton-to-Roberts pass gave AZ its first 1st down of the 2nd half with 8:18 to play. However, Skelton injured his ankle on the play and Kolb entered. Despite no reps during the week & little warm-up he crisply operated the hurry-up offense and moved the Cards to the SEA6. On 2nd-n-goal from there, he hit Roberts for the go-ahead TD. On the drive he was 6-8 passing for 66 yards and a TD. The Cards defense would then have to answer one more time. Seattle took over at its own 20 with 4:58 to play and 2 timeouts. With :52 to play they had advanced to the AZ13. From there the Seahawks would run 13 more plays and be given an extra timeout due to an officiating error amidst great confusion. However, they would not find the end zone and when Wilson’s 4th-n-goal pass from the 4 fell incomplete, Arizona emerged with the victory. � SEAHAWKS 3 0 10 3 16 CARDINALS 3 7 3 7 20 Team Qtr.

Game 2 CARDINALS 20, Patriots 18

September 16, 2012 – University of Gillette Stadium (68,756) To say few gave the Cardinals a chance against the defending AFC champs would be an understatement. The heavily favored Pats were 10-0 in home openers at Gillette Stadium and QB Tom Brady had won 35 of his last 36 home starts. But an incredible defensive effort along with key plays from the offense & special teams gave AZ a late lead. That lead was in peril after a seemingly disastrous fumble deep in AZ territory with 1:10 left. However the Pats go-ahead FG try with :01 missed left and the Cards moved to 2-0 with the victory. The D held NE’s offense under 20 points and sacked Brady 4 times. The offense was led by QB Kevin Kolb who started in place of John Skelton (ankle) and threw 1 TD while running for another. On the game’s first drive AZ moved 60 yards in 13 plays and got on the board with a 38-yard Jay Feely FG. On NE’s first play DT Darnell Dockett tipped a Brady pass at the line and CB Patrick Peterson made a diving INT at the NE36. That led to a 47-yard Feely FG and a 6-0 AZ lead. On the ensuing drive the Pats moved to the AZ28 but no further and Stephen Gostkowski’s 46-yard FG made it 6-3. Early in the 2nd quarter RB Stevan Ridley (4-31) helped NE advance to the AZ11. However the defense held them to just a FG and the game was tied on Gostkowski’s 34-yarder. On the next AZ drive Kolb scrambled on 3rd-n-6 but fumbled and the Pats recovered at the NE48. The Cardinals D again answered in a big way, sacking Brady on 2 of the next 3 plays with takedowns by LBs Sam Acho (-10) and Quentin Groves (-7) forcing a key 3-n-out. On the first play of the 2nd half, Brady connected with WR Wes Welker on a 36-yard pass to the AZ44 but the Pats got just 11 more after that and Gostkowski’s 50-yard FG gave them a 9-6 lead. Their next drive started at their own 10 and the Cards D forced a 3-n-out. Quentin Groves then broke through to block the Zoltan Mesko punt which went out at the NE2. Three plays later, Kolb hit WR Andre Roberts for the go-ahead TD. The key play of the next drive came on 3rd-n-6 at the AZ30 when Dockett blew up RB Danny Woodhead for a 9-yard loss and forced a punt instead of FG try. Kolb then led a gritty 9-play, 75-yard drive and capped it with a 5-yard TD run up the middle. Pivotal were completions of 11 & 28 to TE Todd Heap and WR Early Doucet absorbing a big hit to make a 9-yard catch on 3rd-n-6. The Cards held that 20-9 lead until Gostkowski’s 53-yard FG cut the lead to 8 with 6:45 left. On their next drive, Brady completed an 11-play, 82-yard drive with a 5-yard TD to TE Rob Gronkowski but Kerry Rhodes broke up the pass on the 2-point try preserving a 20-18 AZ lead. With 2:06 left the Cards took over at their own 20. They picked up a 1st down and with 1:10 left faced 3rd-n-13 at the NE35 when RB Ryan Williams fumbled and Vince Wilfork recovered at the AZ30. An apparent 30-yard Woodhead TD run was called back on a Gronkowski hold leading NE to play for a go-ahead FG. However, Gostkowski’s 42-yard try missed wide left with one tick on the clock. � CARDINALS 6 0 7 7 20 PATRIOTS 3 3 3 9 18 Team Qtr.

Game 3 CARDINALS 27, Eagles 6

September 23, 2012 – University of Phoenix Stadium (60,436) In a match-up of 2-0 teams, the Cardinals faced a Philly offense that entered the game ranked #1 in the NFL. But a swarming & relentless defensive effort battered Michael Vick all afternoon, sacking him 5 times and pressuring him much more frequently than that. With defensive captain and All-Pro SS Adrian Wilson out (ankle/groin) others stepped up including LB Daryl Washington (2 sacks) and FS Kerry Rhodes, who provided an enormous momentum swing with a series of key plays at the end of the 1st half. Three key Eagles turnovers (none for AZ) were also pivotal as was an efficient Cards offense. Ex-Eagle QB Kevin Kolb again started and turned in another strong performance. His top target was WR Larry Fitzgerald who topped 100 yards in the 1st half and finished 9-114-1TD receiving. He also notched career catch #700 and became the fastest NFL player to reach that mark by over a year. All of it added up to a 21-point Cards victory that gave them their 1st 3-0 start since 1974. With it they extended their home win streak to 7 games, 2 short of the franchise record set in 1925. After sending the Eagles 3-n-out on the game’s initial series, Kolb led an 8-play, 36-yard drive that ended with Jay Feely’s 47-yard FG and a 3-0 lead. AZ’s next drive ended with a punt but Anthony Sherman forced a Damaris Johnson fumble that LS Mike Leach recovered at the PHI38. On 3rd-n-goal from the 8, Kolb fired a pass between a pair of Eagle defenders that defelected right to WR Michael Floyd for the rookie’s 1st reception & TD. The ensuing Eagles drive reached the AZ36 but LB Sam Acho ended it by sacking Vick, forcing a fumble DT Dan Williams recovered. Midway thru the 2nd quarter, Kolb connected with Fitzgerald down the middle on a 37-yard TD pass that made it 17-0. Just before intermission the Eagles penetrated deep into AZ territory and appeared poised to cut into the lead heading into the locker room. Vick hit DeSean Jackson with a 14-yard pass to the 1 but FS Kerry Rhodes stood him there to keep him out of the end zone. Incompletions on 1st and 2nd downs set up a 3rd-n-goal from the 1 with :06 left. Vick dropped back but Rhodes hit him on a blindside blitz forcing a fumble that S James Sanders scooped up. He followed an envoy of teammates down the left sideline for a 93-yard score as time expired. That 14-point swing put the Cards up 24-0 when it appeared that the Eagles would pull to within 10. In the 2nd half, Arizona was content to work the clock and the only 3rd quarter scoring came on a pair of Alex Henery FGs as the Cardinals D continued to relentlessly harass Vick and the Eagles. In the 4th quarter AZ played keep-away and RB Ryan Williams kept the clock and sticks moving with determined running. Feely’s 27-yard FG with 3:52 remaining provided the game’s final points.

Game 4 CARDINALS 24, Dolphins 21 (OT)

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

Game 5 Rams 17, CARDINALS 3

October 4, 2012 – Edward Jones Dome (54,653) Off to their best start since 1974, the 4-0 Cardinals headed to St. Louis on a short week for a Thursday night showdown with the 2-2 Rams. Arizona had won 7 straight at the Edward Jones Dome but would not find a way to record #8. A strong St. Louis defensive effort kept Arizona from getting on track offensively, sacking QB Kevin Kolb 9 times and limiting the Cards to 45 rushing yards on 17 attempts. Arizona’s defense was also tough and allowed just 242 total net yards while forcing Sam Bradford into one of his least efficient career games. The 3rd year QB completed 7 of 21 passes and at one point went 12 straight attempts without a completion. However, two big Bradford throws – one in the 1st quarter and another in the 4th - were most damaging and led to 14 Rams points. Bradford completed three of his seven passes on the game’s opening drive. On the first snap of the night he threw a 14-yarder to Brandon Gibson and followed it with a 44-yard Danny Amendola completion to the 11. Three plays later on 3rd-n-goal from the 7, Bradford found TE Lance Kendricks in the end zone to put St. Louis up 7-0. Arizona responded with a 17-play drive that reached the STL17 but had to settle for a 35-yard Jay Feely FG that made it 7-3. On the drive, Ryan Williams ran 5 times for 17 yards, Kolb was 7-8 passing for 30 yards and the Cards converted three key 3rd downs. Those would be two of the most productive drives of the game for either team who combined for 14 punts the rest of the way (7 per side). The Rams increased their lead to 10-3 early in the 2nd on a 53-yard FG from rookie Greg Zuerlein after starting the drive at midfield. Later in the quarter, Arizona reached the STL22 but came away empty when Feely was wide left from 40 yards, his first miss after hitting 19 in a row. The Rams carried that 10-3 lead into the locker room at halftime. Neither team scored in the 3rd quarter. The Rams had the best chance when they reached the AZ16 after gaining 52 yards on 7 rushes but on a 3rd-n-6 play from there, Patrick Peterson picked off a Bradford pass in the end zone to kill the threat. The Cards remained within a TD until 11:49 was left in the game. Facing a 3rd-n-11 at his own 49, Bradford hit Chris Givens on a deep pass down the left sideline for a 51-yard TD. Arizona threatened on the next series, advancing deep into St. Louis territory. However, the Cards turned it over on downs when they couldn’t convert on 4th-n-goal from the 6. The next AZ drive ended similarly when Kolb was sacked on a 4th-n-1 play from the STL13 with just over 2 minutes left, effectively putting an end to the Cards comeback chances. Larry Fitzgerald (8-92) was the game’s leading receiver. His first catch of the night gave him a reception in 122 straight games, topping Mel Gray for the franchise record in that category. The win improved the Rams record to 3-2, bettering their 2-win total from 2011 and putting them above .500 for the first time since 2006.

Game 6 Bills 19, CARDINALS 16 (OT)

October 14, 2012 – University of Phoenix Stadium (60,385) The Cardinals seemed poised to pull out yet another dramatic home victory but this time it was the Bills who came through with the key late-game plays that decided the outcome. For the Cards it was their 6th overtime contest in the last 9 home games and the first time they failed to come away with the victory. Arizona fell to 4-2 with the loss that also brought an end to its 8-game home win streak. The Cards were in position to win at the end of regulation when Jay Feely kicked a franchise record 61-yard FG with 1:09 to play to tie it and then had a chance to end it with a 38-yarder on the final play of the 4th quarter. However the ball was tipped at the line and bounced off the left upright. The Bills then won it on their 2nd possession of OT when Jairus Byrd’s 2nd

INT of the day set up the game-winning FG. The back and forth contest featured multiple lead changes and pivotal plays. On the game’s opening play from scrimmage Bills RB Fred Jackson fumbled on a hit from LB Daryl Washington and CB William Gay recovered at the BUF33. Four plays later Feely hit a 49-yard FG that put AZ up 3-0. The Bills made it 3-2 later in the opening quarter when Chris Kelsay sacked Kevin Kolb in the end zone for a safety. After the free kick Buffalo took over at the AZ49 and launched a 10-play drive that ended with C.J. Spiller’s 10-yard TD run. The Cardinals re-claimed the lead with the only points of the 2nd quarter on a 9-yard Kolb TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald who finished with a game-high 93 yards on 6 catches. With the effort he eclipsed 10,000 career yards and became just the 2nd player in NFL history to hit that mark before age 30 (Randy Moss). Playing without its top 2 RBs, the Cards ground game got it going in the 2nd half behind William Powell (13-70) and Kolb who picked up 66 yards on scrambles. AZ added to its lead with Feely’s 2nd 49-yard FG of the day late in the 3rd, but Buffalo soon answered. The Bills went 80 yards in 5 plays thanks to a 23-yard Stevie Johnson catch and 33-yard Spiller run that set-up a 1-yard Jackson TD. That 16-13 lead seemed solid when Byrd INT’d Kolb at the 5:59 mark of the 4th. The ensuing Bills drive reached the AZ36 with under 4:00 left but Patrick Peterson ended it when he picked off a pass from WR Brad Smith who lined up in the wildcat. The Cards got the ball back at their own 15 with 3:07 to play. On a 1st-n-10 play from the AZ41 with 2:06 left a busted play forced Kolb to run but he injured his chest/ribs and exited the game. Back-up John Skelton entered the game for the 1st time since being knocked out of the opener in the 4th quarter with an ankle injury. On his 3rd play, he was faced with a 4th-n-11 but connected with Fitzgerald for 17. With 1:14 left the Cards faced a 4th-n-10 at the BUF43 when Feely was sent out to hit the game-tying 61-yarder. After a Bills punt, AZ took over at its own 47 with :50 left. A 28-yard completion to Fitzgerald moved it to the BUF20, leading to the failed 38-yard FG try. Buffalo got the ball first in OT but was forced to punt. On the 3rd play of the Cards series, Byrd INT’d Skelton and returned it to the 6 setting up Rian Lindell’s game-winner.

Game 7 Vikings 21, CARDINALS 14

October 21, 2012 – Mall of America Field (61,068) In a match-up of 4-2 teams in Minnesota, the Vikings notched a 21-14 win despite being outgained in total net yards (356-209), net passing yards (230-43), first downs (20-12) and time of possession (35:05-24:55). The difference for Minnesota proved to be a strong rushing performance from Adrian Peterson (23-153, TD) and opportune plays from its defense, including a pick-six 57 seconds into the 3rd quarter. An exceptional effort from the Arizona defense kept the game close, particularly in the 2nd half when it allowed just 58 total yards and 2 first downs. RB LaRod Stephens-Howling also had a big day with his 1st career 100-yard rushing effort and added 45 more receiving. LB Daryl Washington recorded his first career multi-sack game with two takedowns of Christian Ponder, giving him team-leading and career-best 6.0 for the season. Minnesota appeared to jump out to an early lead in the game when Percy Harvin took the opening kickoff 103 yards for a TD but it was wiped out by an illegal block in the back penalty. Midway through the 1st the Vikings did go up 7-0 when Peterson capped an 88-yard drive with his 13-yard TD run; key plays included a 27-yard Peterson run and 29-yard pass interference penalty. The Cards responded with a long (14 plays) and balanced (7 runs, 7 passes) drive that reached the MIN14. It ended, however, when QB John Skelton was hit from behind by DE Brian Robison and the Vikings recovered at their own 16. Two plays later Vikings QB Christian Ponder gave it right back when he overthrew his TE and LB Paris Lenon made a diving INT at the MIN16. That led to a 3-yard Stephens-Howling TD run that tied the game. Minnesota answered with a 10-play, 72-yard TD drive with most of the yardage coming from Peterson (38) and Harvin (32); the score came on a 3-yard TD pass from Ponder to Harvin out of the backfield. The Cards had a golden opportunity to cut into that lead just before halftime when LB Sam Acho picked off a Ponder pass at the MIN29 with :05 left, but Jay Feely’s 47-yard FG try missed wide right and the Vikings led 14-7 at intermission. One of the game’s pivotal plays came on the 3rd snap of the 2nd half when the Cards faced a 3rd-n-6 at their own 24. Skelton tried to hit Early Doucet across the middle but the pass was INT’d by safety Harrison Smith who returned it 31 yards for a TD that made it 21-7. On its next drive, AZ advanced to the MIN18 and faced a 4th-n-2. The Cards went for it but turned it over on downs when Skelton came up short on a bootleg. The Arizona defense remained strong, forcing 3-n-outs on three straight series. The offense moved the ball well between the 20’s but had difficulty converting those drives into points. With 1:48 left, Skelton cut the deficit to 21-14 with a 6-yard TD pass to Andre Roberts; on the drive Skelton was 6-6 for 88 yards. The comeback hopes were dashed, however, when Minnesota recovered the ensuing on-side kick attempt from the Cardinals.

Game 8 49ers 24, CARDINALS 3

October 29, 2012 – University of Phoenix Stadium (62,810) In a nationally-televised Monday night match-up in Arizona, the Cardinals had a chance to snap their 3-game losing streak and move back into first place in the NFC West with a win over the visiting 49ers. Instead San Francisco opened up a 2-game lead atop the division with a strong performance in all phases. QB Alex Smith completed 18 of 19 passes with 3 TDs - including a pair to WR Michael Crabtree - while the Niners #1 ranked defense held AZ to 3 points and 7 rushing yards on the evening. On their 2nd offensive series of the game, the 49ers chewed over 6 minutes off the 1st quarter clock with a 10-play, 77-yard drive that Smith capped with a 3-yard scoring pass to Crabtree. A 35-yard Ted Ginn punt return set San Francisco up at the AZ45 on its next possession and the 49ers took a 10-0 lead thanks to David Akers’ 43-yard FG. Just before intermission, another short Smith-to-Crabtree TD connection made it 17-0 at the half. Through 2 quarters, the Niners led 212-69 in total net yards and 80-6 in rushing yards with a 9-minute advantage in time of possession. The 49ers lead grew to 24-0 on their first series of the 3rd quarter thanks to a 47-yard catch and run by veteran WR Randy Moss. Arizona advance deep into SF territory and got on the board later in the quarter when Jay Feely’s 28-yard FG capped a 14-play, 70-yard drive. The Cards nearly found the end zone late in the fourth but Larry Fitzgerald was stopped at the 1 on a 4th down play and Arizona turned it over on downs. The Cardinals defense surrendered over 21 points for the first time in 2012 and QB John Skelton – who started for the 2nd straight week after returning to the lineup due to Kevin Kolb’s rib injury – lost for the first time in 7 career home starts. LB Daryl Washington recorded 2.0 sacks for the 2nd straight week to give him 8.0 for the season. Washington became the first Cardinals defender with multiple sacks in back-to-back games since DE Eric Swann accomplished the feat in November of 1999. WR Andre Roberts finished the contest with a game-high seven receptions, good for 65 yards. The loss was Arizona’s fourth straight after starting the year 4-0.

Game 9 Packers 31, CARDINALS 17

November 4, 2012 – Lambeau Field (70,504) The Cards opened the 2nd half of their 2012 schedule at Lambeau Field against the Packers. Green Bay held a 24-7 halftime lead before QB John Skelton brought the Cards back to within a TD late in the 3rd quarter by engineering back-to-back scoring drives. Skelton finished the day with 306 passing yards and 4 different Cards topped 50 receiving yards, including Larry Fitzgerald who had 6 grabs for 74 yards with a 31-yard TD. But after AZ held GB to zero 1st downs on their initial 4 drives of the 2nd half, Aaron Rodgers connected with TE Tom Crabtree on a 72-yard TD pass that proved to be the back-breaker. The Packers entered the game tied with AZ for the NFL lead in sacks but were held to just two for the afternoon. The loss was the Cards’ 5th

straight and dropped their record to 4-5. Arizona went 3-n-out on the opening series of the game and Randall Cobb returned the ensuing punt 28 yards to the AZ34. However the Cards defense made GB settle for a 44-yard Mason Crosby FG try that he missed wide left. Green Bay’s next drive moved deep into Arizona territory thanks to several Rodgers runs including a 25-yarder to cross midfield and a 10-yarder on 3rd-n-8 at the AZ18. On 3rd-n-goal from the 13, Rodgers hit Cobb on a quick slant that the WR carried into the end zone. A key swing occurred on the first play of the 2nd quarter when the Packers had the ball at their own 40. On 2nd-n-4 Rodgers appeared to hit Cobb with a 9-yard gain but the ball was wrestled away by CB William Gay, turning it over to the AZ offense at the GB43. On the next snap, Skelton connected with Andre Roberts deep down the middle for a 40-yard gain to the 3. Two plays later, LaRod Stephens-Howling ran it in from a yard away to tie the game at 7. Green Bay answered on its next drive. While most of the damage was done on the ground, the score came through the air on a 21-yard Rodgers-to-Cobb TD that put the Pack up 14-7. Following an AZ punt, the Packers moved 75 yards in 8 plays and capped the drive with WR James Jones’s athletic 28-yard TD grab that made it 21-7 at halftime. Arizona forced a GB 3-n-out to open the 2nd half but on the first Cards offensive play, Skelton’s pass to TE Rob Housler was deflected in the air and LB Erik Walden picked it off at the AZ17. The Cardinal defense allowed just 2 yards and GB settled for a 33-yard FG that made it 24-7. Skelton and the offense then rallied for 10 points on its next 2 possessions. The first was an 87-yard drive that ended with a 31-yard Larry Fitzgerald TD catch and run. Another 3-n-out gave the AZ offense the ball back and after marching to the GB1, Jay Feely’s short FG made it a 7-point game late in the 3rd. On the final play of the quarter the Packers picked up their first 1st down of the half and much more when Rodgers lofted a pass to Crabtree that cleared the coverage and went 72 yards for a TD. It proved to be game’s pivotal play and final points. CARDINALS 0 7 10 0 17 PACKERS 7 14 10 0 31 Team Qtr.

Game 10 Falcons 23, CARDINALS 19

November 18, 2012 – Georgia Dome (69,630) Arizona returned from its bye for a road game vs. the Falcons, whose 8-1 mark was tied for the NFL’s best. The Cardinals gave Atlanta everything it could handle, especially defensively. AZ picked off all-pro QB Matt Ryan a career-high 5 times and had every opportunity to snap a 5-game losing skid with an upset win. However they could not capitalize on the takeaways and fell to 4-6. LaRod Stephens-Howling had a career-best 127 rushing yards but the Cards struggled moving the ball through the air. Rookie QB Ryan Lindley saw his first action replacing starter John Skelton in the 2nd quarter. On the game’s first play, Ryan’s pass went off the hands of WR Roddy White and right to Rashad Johnson who returned the INT to the ATL9. Stephens-Howling’s 3-yard run put AZ up 7-0. Following a Falcons 3-n-out, Stephens-Howling’s 40-yard run set-up a 48-yard Jay Feely FG. Later in the 1st the Falcons moved to the AZ29 before Darnell Dockett tipped a Ryan pass at the line and William Gay INT’d. On the next ATL series Ryan tossed his 3rd INT of the opening quarter when FS Kerry Rhodes picked a pass and returned it to the 18. That also led to a Feely FG and a 13-0 AZ lead after one. The Falcons then scored 13 straight. They first capped a 13-play drive with Matt Bryant’s 28-yard FG. On the next series Lindley entered and on his 3rd play he appeared to be hit by John Abraham as his arm was going forward and the play seemed dead but Jonathan Babineaux picked the ball up and ran 15 yards to the end zone. Referee Bill Vinovich signaled fumble & TD; after review, that version of events was ruled to stand. The Falcons tied it on the ensuing drive on another Bryant FG with 1:52 remaining in the half. On the next snap, Stephens-Howling ripped off a 52-yard run and that led to a Feely FG with 0:32 left. It was enough time for ATL to move into position for a 48-yard Bryant FG that tied it at 16 as the half expired. There were no points scored in the 3rd quarter, but several key plays. One occurred when LB Sam Acho forced a Jason Snelling fumble near the sideline; as the ball was headed out of bounds at the AZ 30 CB Greg Toler dove and flipped it back in play where Johnson recovered. At the end of the quarter, Ryan was INT’d a 4th time, this time by Daryl Washington who returned it to the ATL16; again AZ had to settle for a FG that made it 16-13. ATL’s offense got its lone TD at the end of a 7-play, 70-yard drive and Michael Turner’s 1-yard run gave the Falcons their 1st lead with 6:40 to go. Two minutes later the Cards had a prime opportunity when Acho INT’d another batted Ryan pass and AZ took over at the ATL32. Facing a 4th-n-2 at the 24, Larry Fitzgerald hauled in a Lindley pass at the 5 but lost it on the way to the ground and the Cards never got the ball back.

Game 11 Rams 31, CARDINALS 17

November 25, 2012 – University of Phoenix Stadium (60,062) The Cardinals returned to University of Phoenix Stadium for the first time in a month looking to snap a 6-game losing streak. Against the visiting Rams, Arizona went with rookie QB Ryan Lindley (6th round) who made his first career start. The Cards were also bolstered by the return of RB Beanie Wells who was activated from IR after a 7-week absence. The day began promisingly for Wells, Lindley & the Cards and Arizona led 17-14 at the half. Wells had a pair of rushing TDs and Lindley was 16-19 for 179 yards on the team’s three 1st half scoring drives (TD, TD, FG). However St. Louis outscored the Cards 17-0 in the 2nd half en route to a 31-17 victory. Pivotal were four Lindley INTs including a pair returned for TDs by rookie CB Janoris Jenkins. Things started promisingly for Arizona’s offense which opened the game with its longest drive of the year. The 15-play, 91-yard series ended on a Wells’ 1-yard plunge and consumed more than half of the opening quarter (8:55). On the first play of the 2nd quarter, Jenkins stepped in front of a Lindley pass and returned it 36 yards to tie the game at 7. Midway thru that quarter, Arizona reclaimed the lead when Wells’ 12-yard run capped a 65-yard drive on which the key plays included a 28-yard completion to TE Rob Housler and a 13-yarder to WR Andre Roberts. Housler finished with a career-best 8 catches for 82 yards while Roberts had a game-high 9 grabs for 92 yards. On the ensuing drive the Rams advanced to the AZ7 but on 1st-n-goal Patrick Peterson INT’d a Sam Bradford pass in the end zone. The next St. Louis series saw Bradford move the offense 71 yards in 7 plays and ended with a 37-yard TD pass to TE Lance Kendricks that tied it at 14 with 1:53 to play before halftime. That was enough time for Lindley to move the AZ offense into position for a 32-yard Jay Feely FG that made it 17-14 at intermission. On their initial drive of the 3rd quarter the Rams began at their own 8 but on the first play Steven Jackson’s 46-yard run moved St. Louis to the AZ46. Jackson would finish the game with 139 rushing yards on 24 carries. Two plays later Bradford hit Chris Givens with a 37-yard TD pass that gave the Rams their first lead of the game. Three snaps later a Craig Dahl INT off Lindley set St. Louis up at the AZ12 but the Rams came away empty when Greg Zuerlein missed from 35 yards and the Rams lead remained 4 points. Later in the quarter lightning struck again when Jenkins returned another INT 39 yards for a score that made it 28-17. Arizona could not chip into that 11-point lead and Zuerlein’s 19-yard FG with 5:27 remaining provided the final margin of victory.

Game 12 Jets 7, CARDINALS 6

December 2, 2012 – MetLife Stadium (79,088) In a match-up of 4-7 teams desperate for a win, the Cardinals defense was again dominant and held the host Jets scoreless through three full quarters. However, the Arizona offense struggled and produced just 6 points on two Jay Feely FGs. So when 2nd-year QB Greg McElroy came on in relief of starter Mark Sanchez and threw a TD pass on the first play of the fourth quarter it was enough to carry the Jets to victory and hand Arizona its 8th consecutive loss. Rookie QB Ryan Lindley earned his 2nd straight start but he and the offense had a long afternoon at the Meadowlands, producing just 5 total first downs and failing to convert on 15 third down opportunities. Cardinals S Kerry Rhodes, a former Jet, recorded 2 of Arizona’s 3 INTs off Sanchez and was responsible for another takeaway when he forced a fourth quarter fumble. However, the offense – playing without starting C Lyle Sendlein (IR/knee) and WR Andre Roberts (inactive/ankle) – could not capitalize on those opportunities. Arizona’s most-promising offensive drive may have been its first when a 23-yard Lindley pass to Larry Fitzgerald helped move into NYJ territory but it stalled there. On New York’s first offensive play, Rhodes INT’d Sanchez and returned it to the NYJ26. The Cards gained 8 yards on 1st down but failed to convert on either 3rd-n-1 or 4th-n-1 and came away empty. The Jets threatened on their next 2 drives but came away pointless on both; first Nick Folk’s 46-yard FG bounced off the left upright and then Rhodes killed the next one after it had reached the AZ40 with another interception. A LaRon Landry INT off Lindley in the 2nd quarter set the Jets up at the AZ37 but the game remained 0-0 when Folk’s FG again hit the upright, this time 52-yarder off the left one. The biggest play of the 1st half came with just over a minute to play and the Cards lined up to punt on 4th-n-7 at the AZ25. After receiving a direct snap, up-back Rashad Johnson picked up 40 yards to the NYJ35 and Feely’s 48-yarder as the half expired made it 3-0 at intermission. The teams opened the 3rd quarter by exchanging punts on the first six drives. When the Jets took over at their own 30 with 4:40 left in the 3rd McElroy came on to replace Sanchez at QB. That drive covered 69 yards in 10 plays thanks largely to RB Bilal Powell’s 5-36 rushing effort and concluded on 3rd-n-goal from the 1 when McElroy rolled to his right on a bootleg before tossing it to TE Jeff Cumberland for the TD After an AZ three-n-out, Rhodes & the Cardinals defense made another key play. On 3rd-n-6 from the NYJ35 McElroy dumped it off to RB Kahlil Bell out of the backfield but a hit from Rhodes forced the ball in the air and LB Daryl Washington snatched it at the NYJ35. From there the offense picked up a first down but had to settle for a 35-yard Feely FG that made it 7-6 with 10:39 to go. After an exchange of punts, the Jets took over at their own 26 with 7:55 and were able to run out the clock with a 13-play, 66-yard drive that kept the Cardinals from getting the ball back.
