65 - Minutes it takes for the retractable fi eld to roll completely into the stadium, covering a distance of 740 feet. 132 - Total accepted false start penal es by Cardinals opponents at Uni-versity of Phoenix Stadium da ng back to 2006.

Ari-zona has held opponents to 20 points or fewer in 14 of 20 home games under Arians - and they are 14-0 in those contests.

Having a sellout crowd on hand at Univer-sity of Phoenix Stadium every game has given the Cardinals one of the NFL’s most dis nct home fi eld advantages.

CARDINALS 39, Seahawks 32November 15, 2015 – CenturyLink Field (69,005)

In a wild week 10 showdown in Sea le on Sunday Night Football, the Cards jumped out to a big lead but saw it evaporate into the chilly November night. Against the two- me defending NFC champs in their typically hos le environment, Arizona absorbed some shots but shook them off to re-take the lead. The hard-fought 39-32 win moved the Cards to 7-2 and increased their division lead over the Rams and Seahawks to 3 games with 7 to play. Against the NFL’s #2 defense (#2 against the pass), the Cards threw for 363 yards. Both Larry Fitzgerald (10-130) & Michael Floyd (7-113, 2TD) eclipsed the century mark. The game took almost 4 hours thanks in part to 6 replay reviews and 23 total penal es (202 yards) called by referee Clete Blakeman and his crew.

A er a scoreless 1st quarter, AZ built a 19-0 2nd quarter lead thanks to a FG, a safety and a pair of Carson Palmer TD passes to Floyd. Sea le got on the board late in the 2nd quarter with a Will Tukuafu 1-yard scoring plunge but AZ quickly answered. Chandler Catanzaro’s 43-yard FG as the 1st half expired made it 22-7. In a scary moment midway thru the 2nd, guard Mike Iupa was carted off with a neck injury and was taken to a local hospital. He was later released and flew back to AZ with the team.

The two teams traded 3rd quarter FGs to make it 25-10 before Russell Wilson & Doug Baldwin con-nected on a 32-yard TD. While AZ led 25-17 late in the 3rd, momentum was shi ing towards the host Seahawks and was fully on their side a er a pair of sacks/strips of Palmer led directly to a pair of Sea le TDs within a 2-minute span. The first gave Sea le possession at the AZ at the 3 and Marshawn Lynch punched it in a play later. The 2nd was returned 22 yards for a TD by LB Bobby Wagner. As a result the Seahawks led 25-23 a er their two failed 2-point a empts failed and the Cards desperately needed Palmer to engineer a comeback. He did, leading the team on a 10-play, 83-yard drive that ended with a 14-yard TD pass to TE Jermaine Gresham. Up 32-29, the Cards D forced a punt returning it to the of-fense at its own 20 with 6:02 to play. Filling in for Floyd (hamstring), Jaron Brown had 3 huge catches late including an 8-yard recep on on 3rd-n-3 at the 27. With 2:07 le AZ faced a pivotal 3rd-n-4 at the SEA48. That’s when Andre Ellington took a delayed draw handoff and raced down the le sideline for a TD that made it 39-29. Sea le added a FG on the next series but Fitzgerald’s recovery of the ensuing on-side kick iced the game for AZ.

This week’s game will be a reunion of sorts for QB Carson Palmer. Dra ed with the fi rst overall pick in 2003 by the Bengals, Palmer spent the fi rst eight years of his career in Cincinna . He le there ranked among the top three in franchise history in comple ons, pass a empts, passing yards and TD passes, went to two Pro Bowls and led the Bengals to two AFC North tles.Palmer will see several familiar faces on the opposing sideline this week, including head coach Marvin Lewis, who also arrived in Cincinna in 2003. However, Palmer’s connec on with Bengals off ensive coordinator Hue Jackson goes back even further.Jackson took over as off ensive coordinator at USC in 1997 and was ac ve in the recrui ng of Palmer out of Santa Margarita High School. Jackson coached Palmer from 1998-2000 with the Trojans and the pair was then reunited in Cincinna from 2004-06 when Jackson was the Bengals WRs coach. Jackson and Palmer found themselves together for a third me in 2011 when Jackson was Oakland’s head coach and the Raiders traded for Palmer in October.This week’s game will mark just the second me that Palmer has faced the Bengals in the regular season. He was the starter with Oakland in 2012 when the Raiders played in Cincinna .

Shaking Off 3 Turnovers in Sea leIn the Pete Carroll era (since 2010) the Seahawks have an 18-3 record in games they force at least three turnovers. Two of those three losses have now come against Arizona. Last week’s game represents the sec-ond straight contest (4 at Cleveland; 3 at Sea le) in which the Cardinals overcame at least three turnovers to win a road game. Da ng back to the beginning of the 2013 season there have been 137 total games in which the visi ng team commi ed at least three turnovers. Those teams com-bined for a 16-121 record (.117 win percentage). Ari-zona accounts for a quarter of those 16 wins. The Cardinals have a 4-5 record (.444 win percentage) in such games da ng back to 2013. The rest of the league has a combined 12-116 record (.094 win percentage).

A Win Against The Odds in ClevelandArizona defeated Cleveland in Week 8 despite commi ng four turnovers on off ense. Under head coach Bruce Arians, the Cardinals have commi ed four or more turnovers on the road three mes. They have a 2-1 record in those contests and have won each of the last two such games (17-10 win @ Sea, 12/22/13). Prior to Arians’ arrival, Arizona had just one win in the previous 25 road games in which they turned the ball over at least four mes, da ng back to the 1999 season.In addi on to the turnovers, Arizona also had to overcome a 13-point defi cit (20-7) against Cleveland, including a 10-point hal ime defi cit. It marked just the second me in franchise history – and fi rst me since 10/8/67 at Min-nesota - the Cardinals won a road game by double digits (+14) when they trailed by double digits (-10) in the second half. In that game vs. Minnesota, the Cards trailed by seven points at hal ime and were down 11 in the fourth quarter before rallying for a 10-point win. The victory over the Browns marked the fi rst me since 9/12/99 at Philadel-phia that the Cardinals won a road game in which they trailed by at least 13 points. In that win over the Eagles, the Cardinals overcame a 21-point defi cit for a 25-24 victory.

WR Jaron BrownIt only took one quarter of ac on for Brown to earn the game ball from head coach Bruce Arians following the win last week. When Michael Floyd le the game in the fourth quarter (hamstring), Brown took his place and made perhaps the biggest play of the night. With Arizona trail-ing 29-25 and facing a 2nd-n-7 at the Sea le 49-yard line, Brown fought through a crowd to pull a pped ball away from Richard Sherman. He caught the defl ected pass and fought his way forward for a fi rst down. Four plays later Brown hauled in a 20-yard recep on to the Seahawks 14-yard line that set up the TD pass from Palmer to TE Jermaine Gresham that gave the Cardinals the lead. P Drew ButlerButler’s performance against Sea le was a big reason the Cardinals were able to shut down Seahawks punt returner Tyler Locke , who was held to 0 yards on one return. Butler punted three mes and posted a season-high 44.7 net average against the Seahawks. K Chandler CatanzaroCatanzaro made all seven kicks (3 FG, 4 PAT) for total of 13 points last week. He connected on FGs of 33, 43 and 43 yards in the win and his 13 points represent his second-best single-game total of the season (16 vs. StL in Week 4). S Deone BucannonBucannon registered a team-high seven tackles and posted his fi rst sack of the season against the Seahawks last week. Bucannon has now led or ed for the team lead in tackles in eight of nine games this season and he

has at least seven tackles in eight of nine games.

Both Keim and Arians had mul ple years remaining on their contracts but were rewarded by Bidwill with extensions in March. In January of 2013 there were eight head coach openings. None was hired later than Arians and he was the only one of the eight to make the postseason in 2014.

The Cardinals have been in the Bidwill family since Pro Football Hall of Famer Charles Bidwill purchased the team in 1933. Charles’ son Bill handled day-to-day opera ons for decades before passing the torch to his son Michael. Since Michael Bidwill took over as team President in 2007, the Cardinals have gone .500 or be er in six of eight sea-sons (just twice in previous 20 years) and posted three double-digit win seasons (none in previous 20). The 2014 season marked the third me the Cardinals earned a spot in the postseason since Bidwill took over in ‘07. Between 1933 (when the NFL fi rst ins tuted a postseason) and 2006 the Cardinals made the playoff s just six mes. Arizona’s Wild Card matchup in Carolina was the seventh postseason game since Michael Bidwill took over. Between 1933 (when the NFL ins tuted a postseason) and 2006 the Cardinals played just seven total postseason games.Michael spearheaded the eff ort that led to the crea on of University of Phoenix Stadium, which preceded that aforemen oned run of on-fi eld suc-cess. The Cardinals have sold out all 99 games played (preseason and post-season included) and the stadium since it opened in 2006; in 18 years at Sun Devil Stadium, just 12 games were sold out. The team’s current popularity is best-refl ected by unprecedented levels of local TV ra ngs for game broadcasts, which established a host of club re-cords in 2014.Michael was pivotal not only in helping Arizona land Super Bowl XLIX - the second in eight seasons at University of Phoenix Stadium – but he also se-cured the 2015 Pro Bowl. Played a week apart earlier this year, the game delivered a record economic impact of $720 million to the region.

A MAN WITH VISIONIn May, Bidwill was honored with the Vision Award from the Greater Phoe-nix Conven on & Visitors Bureau. He became just the fourth individual to receive the rarely-presented Vision Award, which recognizes excep onal leadership. The three previous recipients were Phoenix mayors Skip Rimsza and Phil Gordon and former Suns and Diamonbacks owner Jerry Colangelo.

GM Steve Keim is a homegrown talent of sorts for the Car-dinals. He spent 15 seasons in the team’s personnel de-partment before being elevated to GM in January of 2013. The results the team produced during his fi rst two sea-sons made him one of the league’s most respected GMs. He was named Pro Football Talk’s Execu ve of the Year in both 2013 and 2014, adding Spor ng News Execu ve of the Year honors following the 2014 season. The Cardinals are coming off back-to-back 10+ win seasons in Keim’s fi rst two years as GM and he worked relentlessly in that me. As soon as he was elevated to GM in 2013, Keim began re-shaping the roster. The overhaul was drama c – and resulted in a 21-11 record in the fi rst two years. During his fi rst 24 months at the helm, Keim made a total of 410 roster moves, including 217 moves in 2014 as the Cardinals ed the franchise record for wins in a season (11) and earned a spot in the postseason.

MAKING HIS MARK ON THE ROSTER•Of the 53 players on the Cardinals current roster, 44 were acquired by Keim duringhis me as GM. •The Cardinals have made 161 total transac ons already in 2015 and have started the year with a 7-2 record. •Of the 23 players dra ed by Keim during his fi rst three NFL Dra s as GM, 18 re-main with the team. Of the nine players dra ed by Keim in 2013, four are starters in 2015.•In addi on to the contribu ons made by 2014 free agent signings such as LT Jared Veldheer, G/C Ted Larsen, Keim added young talent in S Deone Bucannon and WR John Brown (NFL Dra ) and K Chandler Catanzaro (rookie free agent). Bucan-non earned PFWA All-Rookie honors at safety while Brown (four game-winning TD catches) and Catanzaro (17 consecu ve FGs to start his career) went on to establish NFL rookie scoring records.•Keim was busy again during the 2015 off season. In free agency, the team landedprized Pro Bowl G Mike Iupa , LBs Sean Weatherspoon and LaMarr Woodley, and defensive lineman Cory Redding. Just prior to training camp, Keim signed Pro Bowl TE Jermaine Gresham and during camp added another Pro Bowler in RB Chris Johnson. In total, 18 of the players on the current roster were not with the team at any point last season.

Prior to last season, QB Drew Stanton had not played in an NFL game since 2010. He spent the next three seasons with three diff erent teams (Detroit, Indianapolis and Arizona) serving as the backup to former fi rst overall picks Andrew Luck, Ma hew Staff ord and Carson Palmer.But when Palmer went down in Week 1 last year with a shoulder injury last season, Stanton took over and led the Cardinals to a 2-1 record in three starts. When Stanton made the start against the Giants in Week 2 last season it marked his fi rst game played since 12/19/10 vs. Tampa Bay as a member of the Lions, a span of 1,365 days between appearances.

When Palmer went down for the season with a torn ACL during the fourth quarter in Week 10, Stanton was back in ac on and handled the backup role perfectly, taking over with the Cardinals trailing 14-10 midway through the fi nal quarter. Four plays and 89 yards later, Arizona had the lead for good as Stanton connected with rookie WR John Brown on a 48-yard TD pass with 7:49 remaining that gave the Cards a 17-14 lead. Making his fourth start of the season against Detroit in Week 11, Stanton completed 21 of 32 pass a empts (65.6%) for a career-high 306 yards, two TDs, two INTs and a passer ra ng of 91.4. Stanton improved to 5-3 as a starter in ‘14 (and 6-3 in games he played) following the Cards win over St. Louis in Week 15. However, with the Cards leading 6-3 midway through the third quarter, Stanton was forced from the game with a knee injury that also forced him out of the fi nal two games of the regular season and postseason.

Stanton Shines at University of Phoenix StadiumStanton posted a 3-0 record at home as a starter in ‘14 and 4-0 in games he played (led Arizona to a come-from-behind win in relief of starter Carson Palmer in Week 10 vs. St. Louis). In four home appearances in ‘14, Stanton completed 57 of 100 pass a empts for 874 yards, six TDs, two INTs and a 97.7 passer ra ng.

Under the tutelage of Off ensive Coordinator Harold Goodwin, the Cardinals off ensive line was one of the team’s most improved units in 2014. That group was anchored by LT Jared Veldheer, who signed a fi ve-year contract with the Cardinals as a free agent prior to the sea-son. He went on to be named the team’s MVP by the local chapter of the PFWA. Expecta ons for the Cardinals O-line have were even higher entering the season with the addi on of Pro Bowl G Mike Iupa - who signed a fi ve-year contract with Arizona as a free agent a er fi ve seasons in San Francisco - and the return of G Jonathan Cooper. Cooper entered the season healthy for the fi rst me since the 2013 preseason when he was taken by the Cardinals in the fi rst round of the NFL Dra .

round (24th overall) in the 2015 NFL Dra out of Florida, and fourth-year NFL vet Bradley Sowell. Now in his ninth season with the Cardinals, Lyle Sendlein is in the star ng lineup at center. In the preseason he was pushed by free agent signing A.Q. Shipley, who had appeared in 45 games (19 starts) at both center and guard over the past three seasons with the Colts and Ravens. Recently, Shipley has seen an increased role in the off ense as an extra lineman and fullback. Against the Browns in Week 8, Shipley appeared in 13 snaps in that role on off ense. Released in the off season following eight seasons with the Cardi-nals, Sendlein was re-signed in camp. He has appeared in 128 games (118 starts) at center for Arizona.

KEEPING THE QUARTERBACK CLEANThe Cardinals didn’t allow a sack in their fi rst two games this season and have given up just 14 sacks on 312 pass a empts so far in 2015. Arizona’s 14 sacks allowed are ed for the fi h-fewest in the NFL this season.

With 836 receiving yards and seven TD catches this season, Larry Fitzger-ald is close to reaching 1,000 receiving yards and 10 TDs for the year. That is signifi cant because Fitzgerald has already had four seasons (2005, 2008-09, 2013) with 1,000+ receiving yards and 10+ receiving TDs. Should he reach those totals in 2015, Fitzgerald would become just the seventh player in NFL history with at least fi ve seasons of 1,000+ receiv-ing yards and 10+ receiving TDs. The six players who have done so are Jerry Rice (9), Marvin Harrison (8), Randy Moss (8), Terrell Owens (8), Lance Alworth (5) and Cris Carter (5).

One of the biggest losses on the off ensive side of the ball in 2014 came when the Cardinals lost one of their most dynamic playmakers. Making his return to the lineup in Week 5 vs. Detroit af-ter missing three games due to a knee injury suff ered in the Week 1 opener vs. New Orleans, RB Andre Ellington showed how valuable he is as a threat out of the backfi eld. On just his third carry of the game Ellington broke free for a 63-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. It is the Cardinals longest run of the season. Ellington only carried the ball fi ve mes in last week’s win over Sea le but he made the fi h run count. With the Cardinals holding a three-point lead (32-29) late in the fourth quarter, Ellington took a handoff and broke away for a 48-yard TD that gave Arizona a 10-point lead with just under two minutes remaining.Ellington fi nished the game with a game-high 61 rushing yards on fi ve a empts. For the season, the third-year pro has rushed for 221 yards and three TDs on just 29 a empts. He is averaging 7.6 yards per carry in 2015.Combined with his 63-yard TD run in Week 5 at Detroit, Ellington now joins Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson (48, 80) as the only players in the NFL with mul- ple TD runs of 45+ yards in 2015. Ellington joins Peterson on the list despite

having 166 fewer rushing a empts on the year (195 to 29).

Tyrann Mathieu is having a breakout season. Beginning with the season opener vs. New Orleans - when Mathieu earned a game ball a er leading the team with eight tackles, a tackle for loss and a career-high three passes defensed - the former LSU standout has shown the form he displayed in his rookie cam-paign when he was named to the PFWA All-Rookie team.Mathieu had the best game of his NFL career against the 49ers in Week 3, fi nishing with fi ve tackles, a tackle for loss and two INTs. He returned the fi rst of his two INTs 33 yards for a TD. It marked his fi rst career mul -INT game and the TD was Mathieu’s fi rst since 2011, when he scored four TDs (2 punt return; 2 fumble return) during his sophomore season at LSU. Mathieu was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his eff orts against the Niners. Mathieu also had a standout performance on Monday Night Football in Week 7, recording seven tackles, his second career sack, a career-high three tackles for loss and a key pass defensed in the end zone to save a TD. It was another prime me matchup and another big performance for Mathieu last week in Sea le. He fi nished the game with six tackles, an INT and three passes defensed.

When the Cardinals selected Deone Bucannon in the fi rst round (27th overall) of the 2014 NFL Dra , he became just the second safety ever selected by the team in the fi rst round - and fi rst since 1978. As a rookie last season, Bucannon was named the PFWA’s all-rookie team at safety a er recording 75 tackles, 2.0 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble re-covery. What made Bucannon so unique during his inaugural season was his ability to play inside the box as a dollar linebacker. Bucannon has fl ourished in that role through this season as the team u -lizes a player with a rare combina on of size and speed. Through nine games this season, Bucannon leads the team with 73 total tackles, including a career-high 13 tackles in Week 5 against the Lions. Bucannon also owns the team lead with 12 tackles for loss, while adding a forced fumble and a sack. Bucannon has led or ed for the team lead in tackles in six of nine games this season and he has at least seven tackles in eight of nine games. In Week 7 vs. Bal more, Bucannon fi nished with a team-high nine tackles, including one for loss. “He’s big, strong, fast,” coach Bruce Arians said of his young defender. “He can cover backs, can cover ght ends. He’s got good length and he’s a tremendous hi er. He’s got linebacker skills, he’s got safety skills. It’s good to get him in there the most we can get him in there.”

A two- me Pro Bowler on special teams, CB Jus n Bethel hadn’t appeared in any of the Cardinals 141 defensive snaps in 2015 that led up to his fi rst career INT. On the 49ers third play from scrimmage in the Car-dinals Week 3 victory over San Francisco, and Bethel’s fi rst play of the season on defense, he picked off a Co-lin Kaepernick pass and returned it 21 yards for a TD to give the Cardinals an early 7-0 lead. Bethel scored his fi rst career defensive TD (and sec-ond career NFL TD) on the day S Adrian Wilson was inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor. Bethel’s only other NFL TD came in his rookie season in 2012 when he returned a blocked fi eld goal a empt 82 yards for a TD against Chicago on 12/23. The player who blocked the FG was Wilson, who was playing in his 91st and fi nal home game in a Cardinals uniform. It was Bethel’s fi rst INT return for a TD since he returned an INT 29 yards for a TD against the University of California on 9/29/11 in a game that was played at AT&T Field - home of the San Francisco Giants. Bethel’s impact in the big win over San Francisco wasn’t limited to defense. On special teams he registered two tackles, forced a fumble and downed a punt at the Niners one-yard line which resulted in a safety on the next play.

Butler dropped a career-high six punts inside the 20-yard line in the game, tying the franchise single-game record.Butler originally joined the team on the same day the Cardinals played their regular season opener vs. San Diego. Despite the short no ce, he fi nished with four punts for 218 yards (54.5 avg.), including a long of 61 yards.

A FAMILY AFFAIR Butler’s appearance in the opener was also notable because he is the son of Kevin Butler, the former Cardinals (1996-97) and Bears (1985-95) kicker. The Butlers joined WR/KR Eric Metcalf (1998) and RB Terry Metcalf (1973-77) as the only known father-son combo to play for the Cardinals.

Game 2 CARDINALS 48, Bears 23

September 20, 2015– Soldier Field (62,351) In a week 2 match-up in Chicago, the Cardinals erupted for 48 points and moved to 2-0 thanks to dominating efforts in all 3 phases. WR Larry Fitzgerald hauled in a regular-season best 3 TD passes and Carson Palmer threw 4 total. AZ produced 7 total TDs including one in each of their 4 red zone trips. The defense scored its own TD on a Tony Jefferson INT off Jay Cutler that also ended the veteran signal caller’s afternoon late in the 1st half when he was injured on the return. The AZ scoring began as soon as the game did when rookie RB David Johnson returned the opening kickoff 108 yards for a TD. It was the longest play in franchise history and a yard shy of the NFL record for longest kickoff return. Chicago tied it late in the 1st quarter when Cutler connected on a 48-yard TD to WR Josh Bellamy. AZ answered on its next drive, taking advantage of a 42-yard pass interference penalty that moved it to the 11 and Palmer capitalized with a 6-yard TD to WR Jaron Brown. The Bears then tied it again when rookie RB Jeremy Langford’s 1-yard run capped a 10-play, 70-yard drive. The Cards surged ahead again with an 80-yard TD drive that was also aided by a long DPI penalty (38 yards to the 16). That set up an 8-yard Fitzgerald TD. In all the Bears were flagged 14 times for 170 yards. The game’s pivotal play came with 3 minutes to go before halftime. With Cutler a perfect 8-8 passing, the Bears faced 2nd-n-9 from the CHI21 when Jefferson INT’d a pass at the 26 and ran it in for the TD. AZ was now up 28-14, Cutler was lost for the game with hamstring injury suffered on the return and back-up Jimmy Clausen took over. AZ quickly forced a punt but rookie JJ Nelson muffed the return and CHI recovered at the AZ22. The Cards D held the Bears to a FG but misfortune again struck for AZ on the next play from scrimmage when Palmer’s pass to the flat was tipped and picked by LB Jared Allen. CHI took over at the AZ12 with :54 to go in the 2nd but the Cards again held to just a FG and it was 28-20 at intermission. On the opening drive of the 3rd Patrick Peterson picked a Clausen pass, turning the ball over to the offense at the CHI32. The takeaway led to a 28-yard Palmer-Fitzgerald hook-up on a flea flicker that made it 35-20. The next AZ offensive series ended with a 13-yard David Johnson TD run that upped the lead to 42-20 with 6:06 to go in the 3rd. A 3rd Robbie Gould FG made it 42-23 after 3 and a 3rd Fitzgerald TD pass from Palmer provided the only points of the final quarter. The 48 points were the most ever allowed by the Bears at home and most by Cards in a road game in 50 years. David Johnson became first player in NFL history with TDs via run, reception and kickoff return after just two career games.

Game 1 CARDINALS 31, Saints 19

September 13, 2015– University of Phoenix Stadium (62,903) In his first game back after a torn ACL ended his promising 2014 season, QB Carson Palmer picked up where he left off throwing for 3 TDs, no INTs or sacks, and topped 300 passing yards in a 31-19 Cardinals win. With the season-opening victory, Palmer became to 1st Cards QB since Jim Hart in 1974 to win 7 straight games and improved to 14-2 over his last 16 starts. The Saints had reached the red zone 5 times but had to settle for FGs from rookie Zack Hocker on 4 of them as the Cards D surrendered just 1 TD. Larry Fitzgerald led AZ with 6 catches for 87 yards and the team averaged almost 5 yards per rush. AZ took the opening kickoff 80 yards in 9 plays and got on the scoreboard first when Palmer found WR John Brown in the end zone on 3rd-n-goal from the 10. After a 37-yard Hocker FG, RB Andre Ellington made it 14-3 with a 1-yard TD run at the end of a 5-play, 88-yard drive; the biggest chunk came on a 48-yard completion to TE Darren Fells that moved it to the 18. The Saints responded with their lone TD drive of the day and made it 14-10 when Drew Brees connected with Brandon Coleman on a 12-yard scoring hook-up. That drive was extended when AZ was flagged for 12 men on the field as the Saints were punting and the penalty gave them a fresh set of downs. On the opening play of the 2nd half, Brees hit WR Willie Snead with a 63-yard pass to the 12 but the Cards D forced them to settle for a 23-yard Hocker FG that made it a 1-point game at 14-13. Later in the quarter the Saints had the ball at the AZ45 but on 3rd-n-7, S Rashad Johnson INT’d Brees pass that led to a 43-yard Chandler Catanzaro FG that made it 17-13 AZ. The lead was trimmed to 1 again after another Saints FG and momentum seemed to be with the Saints. However, Palmer & Co came thru; runs by Ellington & Chris Johnson helped move the chains before Fells hauled in a 17-yard pass from Palmer that gave AZ an 8-point lead. New Orleans, however, would not go away. A 59-yard catch-n-run by Mark Ingram took it to the AZ15 but the D again held the Saints to just a FG. Ahead just 5, the Cards next drive stalled before a Drew Butler punt pinned the Saints at their own 3. The Cards forced a 3-n-out and then took over at their own 43 with 1:49 left and needed just a 1st down or 2 to seal the game. On 2nd-n-8 from the AZ45 and the whole world expecting a run, AZ called for a short pass to RB David Johnson that the rookie hauled in and took 55 yards down the sideline for a game-sealing TD.

Game 3 CARDINALS 47, 49ers 7

September 27, 2015– University of Phoenix Stadium (63,663) A week after their convincing 25-point win at Chicago, the Cardinals returned home to face the Niners and delivered an even more dominating all-around effort with a 47-7 victory. Offensively, they rolled up 446 total yards thanks in part to a 110-yard, 2 TD rushing effort from RB Chris Johnson, who started in place of Andre Ellington. Through the air, Larry Fitzgerald continued his torrid pace and had a pair of TDs among his game-high 9 catches for 134 yards while Carson Palmer threw for 311 yards en route to his 9th straight win as a starter (16th in his last 18). Perhaps more impressive was the play of an AZ defense that opened the game with a pair of INT touchdowns 2 minutes apart from DBs Justin Bethel and Tyrann Mathieu, respectively. The pick sixes were 2 of the 4 INTs thrown by Colin Kaepernick in his first 4 pass attempts. In all, the D held San Fran to 53 net passing yards and just 156 overall while allowing the 49ers to cross midfield just once all game, after a punt return to the Arizona 19-yard line. After the INT returns put AZ up 14-0 early, the next two Cards drives went 81 yards and ended on Johnson TD runs that made it 28-0 midway thru the 2nd. San Fran’s lone score of the day came after Jarryd Hayne’s 37-yard punt return to the AZ19 set-up a 12-yard Kaepernick TD run that made it 28-7. A rare Palmer INT gave San Fran an opportunity for more points but Mathieu’s 2nd INT of the day gave AZ the ball back at the SF25 with :30 let in the 1st half. It led to a 22-yard Chandler Catanzaro FG that gave the Cards a 31-7 lead at intermission. On the 1st play of the 2nd half CB Jerraud Powers picked off Kaepernick and 4 plays later Palmer and Fitzgerald connected on a 4-yard TD pass. Later in the 3rd, Bethel downed a Drew Butler punt inside the 1 and on the next snap LB Kevin Minter tackled RB Carlos Hyde in the end zone for a safety that made it 40-7. The only further scoring came on a long drive (13 plays, 79 yards, 7:42) in the 4th that also ended on a Palmer-to-Fitzgerald TD hook-up. The victory improved the Cards to 3-0 for the 3rd time in 4 years and gave them a 2-game lead in the NFC West. The 47-point explosion gave AZ a franchise record 126 after 3 games, 4th most in NFL history after 3. The 40-point margin of victory was the team’s largest since 1970. The Cards scored 45+ points in consecutive games for just the third time in team history and the first time since 1962.

Game 4 Rams 24, CARDINALS 22

September 27, 2015– University of Phoenix Stadium (63,146) The Cardinals experienced defeat for the first time in 2015 and fell to 3-1 following a 2-point home loss to the Rams. It was a typically tough and physical NFC West match-up that came down to a couple key plays and it was the Rams who made more of them. Arizona outgained St. Louis 447-328 and had twice as many first downs (26-13). While they moved the ball well between the 20’s, the Cards came away with just 4 Chandler Catanzaro FGs on their first 4 red zone trips and committed 3 costly turnovers while the Rams had none. Those 3 takeaways led to 17 St. Louis points that proved to be pivotal. After not trailing at any point in their first 3 games, the Cards never led in this one. Rookie David Johnson fumbled the opening kickoff and the Rams recovered at the AZ17. Three plays later Nick Foles connected with WR Tavon Austin on a 12-yard scoring pass that gave STL an early 7-0 lead. Later in the opening quarter, AZ had a 1st-n-goal from the 1 but was forced to settle for a 21-yard FG. The next Cards drive also penetrated the STL red zone on their next drive but they again came away with 3 on a short Catanzaro FG. After the AZ defense forced its 3rd straight 3-n-out, the Cards seemed on the verge of taking the lead. However Carson Palmer’s deep middle throw to John Brown was INT’d in the end zone by Janoris Jenkins. The Rams came up with a Greg Zuerlein FG on the ensuing drive that made it 10-6. Just before halftime AZ moved 56 yards to set-up Catanzaro’s 3rd FG that made it 10-9 at intermission. Early in the 3rd, Palmer hit Larry Fitzgerald for a 22-yard gain on 3rd-n-2 but the Rams knocked the ball loose and recovered at their own 20. Three straight Todd Gurley runs moved it to the AZ18 where on 3rd-n-5 Foles hit Stedman Bailey for a TD that made it 17-9. The next two AZ drives went deep into STL territory but each again ended on Catanzaro FGs that trimmed the Rams lead to 17-15 with 11:57 to play. On the next drive, a 52-yard Gurley run took it to the AZ16 and ultimately led to another Foles-Austin TD on 3rd

down that put STL up 24-15 with 8:16 remaining. The Cards desperately needed to answer and they did. Two plays after Fitzgerald picked up 14 yards on a key 4th-n-4 at the STL33, Palmer lofted a pass down the middle that David Johnson gathered in for a TD that made it a 2-point game with 4:38 left. After sending the Rams 3-n-out, AZ took over at its own 37 with 2:51 remaining. By the 2:00 warning the Cards reached the STL44 before 3 straight incompletions resulted in turning it over on downs with 1:44 to play. They never saw the ball again as Gurley and the Rams ran out the remaining time.

Game 5 CARDINALS 42, Lions 17

October 11, 2015– Ford Field (60,816) On a day when the other three NFC West teams all lost, the Cardinals improved to 4-1 with a dominating performance at Detroit that extended their division lead to 2 games. They forced 6 Lions turnovers (4 INTs, 2 fumbles) and had none themselves. Safety Rashad Johnson had a hand in 3 of those takeaways (2 INTs, 1 fumble recovery) and the defense as a whole gave the Lions everything they could handle. In just 45 offensive snaps, AZ scored 42 points including a 28-point explosion in the 2nd quarter. Chris Johnson had 103 rushing yards on 11 carries to lead a ground attack that gained 187 yards overall. Carson Palmer had as many TD passes as incomplete passes (3) and the Cards eclipsed the 40-point mark for the 3rd time in 4 games. The Cards opened the game with takeaways on the first 2 Detroit possessions. Rashad Johnson picked Matthew Stafford on the opening drive of the game and Tony Jefferson forced an Ameer Abdullah fumble on the second. However, AZ was unable to capitalize on either and it was Detroit that scored first on Theo Riddick’s 6-yard TD pass from Stafford. The Cards answered when David Johnson’s 35-yard kickoff return was followed immediately by a 25-yard Chris Johnson run with a personal foul penalty tacked on. That set-up a 14-yard Palmer TD pass to TE Darren Fells that tied the game. On the next series, the Lions faced a 2nd-n-15 at their own 42 when DE Cory Redding sniffed out a screen pass, INT’d the ball and returned it 30 yards to the 4. On the next play, David Johnson punched it in to put AZ up 14-7. After a Lions punt backed the Cards up to their own 1, Palmer hit John Brown with a 49-yard completion down the right sideline. Chris Johnson’s 40-yard run then took it to the 2 where David Johnson again ran it in. On the ensuing series, Jefferson forced a Golden Tate fumble that Rashad Johnson recovered at the DET22. That led to an 18-yard scoring pass from Palmer to John Brown that gave Arizona TDs on 4 straight possessions and made it 28-7 at the half. On Detroit’s 1st series of the 2nd half, Patrick Peterson picked off Stafford and returned it 40 yards to the DET32. The INT not only ended the Lions drive but also the afternoon for Stafford who was replaced by Dan Orlovsky thereafter. A 26-yard Larry Fitzgerald catch took it to the 2 and a play later Palmer found him again with a quick scoring slant that made it 35-7. After a Lions FG made it 35-10 with 11:51 left, Drew Stanton came on in relief of Palmer. His 3rd snap was a handoff to Andre Ellington that the RB took 63 yards for a TD. Four plays later, Rashad Johnson notched his 2nd INT of the game, this time off of Orlovsky. A Lions TD with 1:29 remaining made the final score 42-17.

Game 6 Steelers 25, CARDINALS 13

October 18, 2015– Heinz Field (63,846) The Cardinals thoroughly dominated early and reached Steelers territory on 5 of their 6 first half drives. But despite a 279-58 halftime edge in total offensive yards and 233-1 advantage in passing yards, they led just 10-3 at intermission. Missed opportunities, penalties and turnovers proved their undoing as Pittsburgh outscored Arizona 22-3 in the 2nd half. The Steelers did it behind QB Landry Jones who came on in the 3rd

quarter to replace Michael Vick (hamstring), who himself was starting in place of injured Ben Roethlisberger (knee). The loss dropped AZ to 4-2 and overshadowed a career-day from WR John Brown who finished with 10 catches for 196 yards. The Cards opened the scoring on their 2nd offensive series of the game when Carson Palmer’s 3-yard pass to WR Michael Floyd made it 7-0. They were near midfield on the next drive when Palmer’s pass deflected off TE Jermaine Gresham and was INT’d by LB Lawrence Timmons. Still up 7-0, AZ had another opportunity when Larry Fitzgerald’s 44-yard catch-n-run took it to the PIT34 but they came away pointless when Chandler Catanzaro missed a 47-yard FG try. The Steelers took advantage of that field position and got on the board via Chris Boswell’s 47-yard FG. Late in the 1st half, AZ moved to the PIT13. On 3rd-n-9 from the 13, officials missed a defensive pass interference in the end zone vs. Floyd 2 plays after negating a Floyd TD with a questionable offensive interference call against him. Instead AZ had to settle for Catanzaro’s 31-yard FG that made it 10-3 at the half. The Steelers opened the 3rd quarter with a 48-yard Boswell FG to make it 10-6. On the 2nd play of the ensuing drive, John Brown fumbled on a reception and Pittsburgh recovered at the AZ32. Four plays later Jones and WR Martavis Bryant connected on a 9-yard TD pass that put the Steelers up 12-10 after the 2-point try was unsuccessful. A 51-yard Boswell FG on the next PIT possession made it 15-10 late in the 3rd.AZ answered as John Brown’s 42-completion took it to the Steeler 27 but they gained just 8 more yards and Catanzaro’s 39-yard FG made it 15-13. The Steelers then moved 68 yards in 13 plays and extended the lead to 18-13 on Boswell’s 4th FG, this one a 28-yarder midway thru the 4th. Trailing by 5, the Cards moved to the PIT20 in 8 plays but just before the 2:00 warning, Palmer’s 1st down pass attempt to John Brown was INT’d in the end zone by S Mike Mitchell. The Cards needed a stop to get the ball back but on the 2nd play after the turnover, Bryant caught a short pass and then weaved 88 yards for a score that essentially sealed the game.

Game 7 CARDINALS 26, Ravens 18

October 26, 2015– University of Phoenix Stadium (64,722) In a Monday night home game, the Cards held on to defeat Baltimore and improve to 5-2. The Ravens entered the game 1-5 but had not played a game decided by more than 6 points and would not go quietly in this one either. RB Chris Johnson rushed for 122 yards; 26 came on a 1st quarter TD run and 62 came on a 3rd quarter run that he kept alive by rolling over a defender. S Tyrann Mathieu’s performance led the defense while a huge play from special teams ace Justin Bethel turned the game late in the 2nd quarter. The Cards did not commit a turnover but took it away twice themselves including a game-saving INT from Tony Jefferson in the closing seconds. After the Ravens struck first with a 44-yard Justin Tucker FG at the end of their opening series, the Cardinals responded. Back-to-back Carson Palmer passes to TE Jermaine Gresham (21 yards) and WR Michael Floyd (33 yards) quickly moved it to the BAL26 where Chris Johnson took a handoff up the middle, spun from a tackler, bounced to the outside and then into the end zone to make it 7-3. It remained that way until the Ravens capped an 84-yard drive with a 14-yard Justin Forsett TD run that put Baltimore up 10-7 with 3:54 left in the 1st half. The Cards appeared to go 3-n-out but on the Raven return by Jeremy Ross, Cards all-pro special teamer Justin Bethel stripped him and recovered the fumble at the AZ20. Three plays later Palmer hit Floyd with a quick 3-yard slant that gave the Cards a 14-10 lead at the half. Arizona opened the 3rd quarter with consecutive drives that produced 21-yard Chandler Catanzaro field goals. The first was set-up by a 35-yard completion to the BAL9. The second was aided by another Chris Johnson run; on this one he appeared to be tackled but his knee never hit the ground and he kept going for a 62-yard gain to the BAL8. Up 20-10, the Cards opened the 4th quarter with an 11-play, 79-yard drive that Palmer finished with a 4-yard TD pass to John Brown. Now up 26-10 after the kick failed, AZ was punting back the Baltimore with 4:40 left but the kick was blocked by Ravens CB Asa Jackson and recovered at the AZ1. After a Kyle Juszczyk TD reception and successful 2-point conversion, Arizona’s lead was just 8 with 4:26 remaining. The Cards picked up one 1st down but were forced to punt it back to the Ravens who took over at their own 24 with 1:53 left and no timeouts. In 10 plays, Flacco moved it to the AZ4 with :18 left. An illegal shift penalty pushed it back to the AZ9 and with 6 seconds left, S Tony Jefferson INT’d a Flacco pass in the end zone to seal the game.

Game 8 CARDINALS 34, Browns 20

October 31, 2015– FirstEnergy Stadium (67,431) In week 8 at Cleveland, the Cardinals dug themselves out of an early hole and overcame 4 turnovers (3 fumbles, 1 INT) to post a 34-20 win that moved them to 6-2 at the season’s midway point. Arizona trailed 20-7 with just under 5 minutes left in the 1st half before scoring 27 straight thereafter. Carson Palmer threw for 374 yards and 4 TDs while RB Chris Johnson & WR Michael Floyd topped 100 yards rushing and receiving, respectively. The offense rolled up 491 total yards and was an eye-popping 13 of 16 on 3rd down (81%). Defensively, the Cards posted a 2nd half shutout while surrendering just 5 first downs and 98 total yards (5 rushing) after intermission. AZ received the game’s opening kickoff and moved 82 yards in 11 plays, capping the drive with an 11-yard Palmer pass to TE Troy Niklas. The key play was a 1-handed 38-yard grab by rookie WR J.J. Nelson who saw his most extensive action to date filling in for injured John Brown (hamstring). After that though, the Browns took advantage of Cardinal mistakes to score 20 unanswered points. A Chris Johnson fumble set up Cleveland’s 1st TD, a 9-yard pass from Josh McCown to WR Brian Hartline that tied it at 7. The AZ offense didn’t cross midfield on its next 3 drives as Palmer barely missed on deep throws to Floyd and Larry Fitzgerald. The Browns meanwhile produced TD drives that McCown ended with short 3rd-n-goalpasses to TE Gary Barnidge and another to Hartline. Their 3 straight TD drives put the Browns up 20-7 with 4:56 left in the 2nd quarter. A Chandler Catanzaro FG as the 1st half expired would make it 20-10. On Arizona’s 4th snap of the 2nd half, Palmer went deep down the right sideline to Floyd who hauled it in for a 60-yard TD to trim the lead to 3. Patrick Peterson’s 38-yard punt return then set AZ up at the CLE48 on the ensuing offensive series. On the next play a 35-yard completion to WR Jaron Brown moved it to the 13 and led to another TD pass to Niklas on 3rd-n-goal from the 1. Up 24-20, the next 2 Cards drives ended with a Palmer INT and Chris Johnson fumble. The latter gave the Browns possession at the AZ28 and a golden opportunity to re-take the lead. But on the 1st play of the 4th quarter, S Rashad Johnson made a leaping INT of a McCown pass in the end zone and the Cards never looked back. They controlled the ball for 11:42 of the final 15 minutes. In that time they added a Fitzgerald TD reception, his 7th of the year that ended a 12-play, 80-yard drive and then a late Catanzaro FG.

Game 9 CARDINALS 39, Seahawks 32

November 15, 2015– CenturyLink Field (69,005) In a wild week 10 showdown in Seattle on Sunday Night Football, the Cards jumped out to a big lead but saw it evaporate into the chilly November night. Against the two-time defending NFC champs in their typically hostile environment, Arizona absorbed some shots but shook them off to re-take the lead. The hard-fought 39-31 win moved the Cards to 7-2 and increased their division lead over the Rams and Seahawks to 3 games with 7 to play. Against the NFL’s #2 defense (#2 against the pass), the Cards threw for 363 yards. Both Larry Fitzgerald (10-130) & Michael Floyd (7-113, 2TD) eclipsed the century mark. The game took almost 4 hours thanks in part to 6 replay reviews and 23 total penalties (202 yards) called by referee Clete Blakeman and his crew. After a scoreless 1st quarter, AZ built a 19-0 l2nd quarter lead thanks to a FG, a safety and a pair of Carson Palmer TD passes to Floyd. Seattle got on the board late in the 2nd quarter with a Will Tukuafu 1-yard scoring plunge but AZ quickly answered. Chandler Catanzaro’s 43-yard FG as the 1st half expired made it 22-7. In a scary moment midway thru the 2nd, guard Mike Iupati was carted off with a neck injury and was taken to a local hospital. He was later released and flew back to AZ with the team. The two teams traded 3rd quarter FGs to make it 25-10 before Russell Wilson & Doug Baldwin connected on 32-yard TD. While AZ led 25-17 late in the 3rd, momentum was shifting towards the host Seahawks and was fully on their side after a pair of sacks/strips of Palmer led directly to a pair of Seattle TDs within a 2-minute span. The first gave Seattle possession at the AZ at the 3 and Marshawn Lynch punched it in a play later. The 2nd was returned 22 yards for a TD by LB Bobby Wagner. As a result the Seahawks led 25-23 after their two failed 2-point attempts failed and the Cards desperately needed Palmer to engineer a comeback. He did, leading the team on a 10-play, 83-yard drive that ended with a 14-yard TD pass to TE Jermaine Gresham. Up 32-29, the Cards D forced a punt returning it to the offense at its own 20 with 6:02 to play. Filling in for Floyd (hamstring), Jaron Brown had 3 huge catches late including an 8-yard reception on 3rd-n-3 at the 27. With 2:07 left AZ faced a pivotal 3rd-n-4 at the SEA48. That’s when Andre Ellington took a delayed draw handoff and raced down the left sideline for a TD that made it 39-29. Seattle added a FG on the next series but Fitzgerald’s recovery of the ensuing on-side kick iced the game for AZ.
