THIS WEEK’S GAMEThe Cardinals host their second consecutive home game as they face the visiting Cleveland Browns, who at 7-4 trail the Pittsburgh Steelers by one game.

At 5-6, the Cardinals are a game out of the Wild Card race. The two NFC Wild Card leaders are the Giants (7-4) and Lions (6-5) while Arizona is tied with Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, Minnesota and New Orleans—all of whom are 5-6.

Arizona’s loss to San Francisco last week dropped the team to 5-6 and the Cards are now two games behind NFC West leading Seattle, who moved to 7-4 with a 24-19 win at St. Louis.

SUPER BOWL RETURNS TO ARIZONA

On February 3, 2008, the nation’s most popular sporting event comes to Arizona as Super Bowl XLII will be played at University of Phoenix Stadium. Along with the 73,000+ that will be on hand for the game, over 100 million viewers are expected to tune in to the game being played on the Cardinals home field.

With an estimated economic impact of $300-400 million and worldwide viewership, the State of Arizona stands to reap the benefits of having the country’s most state-of-the-art and technologically advanced sporting facility.

Having last hosted the Super Bowl on January 28, 1996 when the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17 at Sun Devil Stadium, Arizona will again have a chance to shine as it plays host to the 100,000-plus out-of-state fans who will be on hand to participate in the week-long activities preceding the game. In addition to the fans, more than 3,000 media members are expected to attend the event.

Thousands of Valley residents will have an opportunity to be part of the action as the Super Bowl Host Committee looks to train up to 10,000 volunteers to work in fields such as hospitality, transportation and special events. Information and application forms for volunteers are available at, the official website of the 2008 Super Bowl in Arizona.

DIERDORF RETURNS TO PROVIDE COLORThere have been some great memories made in the limited times that Dan Dierdorf has been to University of Phoenix Stadium.

The last time he visited, he was providing color analysis for CBS when the Pittsburgh Steelers were in town for theCardinals exciting 21-14 victory in week four.

Before that, the Cardinal legend and Hall of Famer was at University of Phoenix Stadium giving a speech after being inducted into the Cardinals Ring of Honor during halftime of the team’s Monday Night contest vs. Chicago on October 16, 2006.Dierdorf will be back to the stadium this weekend as a color analyst with CBS for the game against the Browns, working alongside play-by-play man Greg Gumbel in the duo’s second Cardinal game of the season.

Dierdorf played with the Cardinals from 1971-1983 as primarily a right tackle, anchoring an offensive line that led the NFL three years and the NFC five years in fewest quarterback sacks allowed. He was a five-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler who was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in his hometown of Canton, OH in 1996.

SELLOUTS CONTINUEThe Cardinals will be playing in front of their 18th consecutive sellout crowd (including the preseason) at University of Phoenix Stadium this week when they host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

The Cardinals have played in front of a sellout crowd in every game at University of Phoenix Stadium, which opened its doors with a preseason game vs. Pittsburgh in 2006. In 18 seasons at Sun Devil Stadium there were only 12 games that sold out in time to be televised locally.

In selling out every game in 2006 the Cardinals established a franchise record for attendance in a season wtih 508,829 fans. That eclipsed the previous record of 497,330 set in 1994 by more than 11,000 fans.

ROOF RULESGiven the forecast for this Sunday, it is very possible that the roof at University of Phoenix Stadium will be open for the second consecutive week.

The National Football League’s Policy for Retractable Roof Domed Stadiums was developed by the NFL CompetitionCommittee.

University of Phoenix Stadium and Houston’s Reliant Stadium are the only two venues in the NFL with retractable roofs.

The NFL’s policy for retractable roofs states that the home team must decide the status of the roof (opened or closed) 90 minutes prior to kickoff. If the game begins with the roof open, it can be closed only if 1) hazardous conditions develop or are anticipated; or 2) it begins to rain.The roof will not be closed for rain any time after the five-minute mark of the fourth quarter (including overtime). If the game is started with the roof in the closed position, it must remain closed for the duration of the game.

LAST WEEK’S GAME

49ers 37, CARDINALS 31 (OT)November 25, 2007 – University of Phoenix Stadium – (65,483)

The Cardinals had a chance to move to 6-5 and avenge a week 1 loss to the Niners but instead San Fran snapped its 8-game losing skid in a back-and-forth overtime thriller. In a game of big plays, each side seemed to have made the game-winning one at different times. In the end it was the 49ers who came up with the biggest and ultimately decisive one with a sack and fumble recovery in the end zone in OT. Kurt Warner played admirably for the Cards and finished with 484 passing yards while Larry Fitzgerald hauled in 9 passes for 156 yards and 2 TDs. Penalties (10), turnovers (4) and other miscues proved costly for the Cards.

AZ took the game’s opening drive 92 yards and capped it with a 28-yard Warner TD pass to Fitzgerald. Later in the first, CB Walt Harris INT’d a Warner pass at the AZ32 which led to a 2-yard TD pass from Trent Dilfer to TE Vernon Davis. Michael Lewis’ 51-yard punt return to the AZ 19 setting up a 19-yard Joe Nedney FG. On the next snap, Anquan Boldin caught a 9-yard pass before fumbling and SF safety Mark Roman returned it 43 yards to the AZ6. Two plays later, Frank Gore ran 11 yards to put SF up 17-7. On the next AZ drive, Marcel Shipp scored on a 1-yard run to cut the 49er lead to 3. When SF’s Joe Nedney missed a 55-yard FG in the half’s final moments the Cards took over at their own 45 with 0:06 left. A 7-yard pass to Sean Morey left AZ time for a Hail Mary heave as time expired and it was answered when Fitzgerald came down with Warner’s 48-yard pass in the end zone.

The opening drive of the 2nd half saw SF fail on a fake punt but the next 49er drive netted a 57-yard Dilfer-to-Arnaz Battle TD that put SF up 24-21. AZ answered with its own TD drive to re-claim the lead. The score came when goal-line sub QB Tim Rattay found rookie TE Ben Patrick with a 2-yard pass on 4th-n-1 at the 2. The AZ defense then seemed to make a game-changing play on the next drive. After reaching the AZ27 with 5:49 left, SF went for it on 4th-n-1 but Gore was stopped for no gain. The Cards went 3-n-out and Gore ended the next drive with his 35-yard TD run that put SF up 31-28 with 85 seconds left. After the kickoff, AZ took over at its own 15 with 1:11 to play and 1 timeout. Warner then completed 5 straight passes for 81 yards, the last of which was a 30-yarder to Bryant Johnson to the 1. After a timeout and a shot at the end zone, Rackers hit a 19-yarder to force OT.

The teams traded punts to start OT. Then on the 2nd play of AZ’s 2nd drive, Warner connected with Morey on a 62-yard pass to the SF 24. On 2nd down from the 9, AZ sent Rackers out for a 27-yard FG that turned into a 32-yarder following a delay of game penalty but the game-winning try sailed a foot left. San Fran again punted on the next drive but after a block in the back, AZ took over at its own 3. The game ended on the next snap when DT Ronald Fields sacked Warner in the end zone, forcing a fumble that LB Tully Banta-Cain recovered for the game-winning TD.

CARDS AND BROWNS – THE LAST TIMEBrowns 44, CARDINALS 6

November 16, 2003 – Cleveland Browns Stadium – (72,908)Cleveland dominated Arizona from the outset, handing the Cardinals their 10th consecutive

road loss in the team’s first-ever appearance at Cleveland Browns Stadium. The Browns tallied at least 10 points in every quarter while amassing one-sided statistical advantages in first downs (27-10), total yards (481-187), plays (68-46), yards passing (392-146), takeaways (4-0) and time of possession (39:33-20:27).

While Cleveland was scoring two touchdowns and two field goals on its first four possessions, the Cards ran only 10 plays on their first three drives to spot the Browns a 20-0lead with 4:14 remaining in the second quarter. Three of Arizona’s final four possessions ended with a fumble and two interceptions. The Cardinals’ longest drive was 57 yards, leading to their second field goal. The Browns, however, posted seven marches of 40 or more yards and four possessions of 62 or more yards.

Cleveland quarterback Kelly Holcomb completed 29 of 35 passes (83%) for 392 yards and three touchdown, including a long of 68 yards. Two Browns receivers, Andre Davis (117 yards) and Quincy Morgan (116 yards), posted 100-yard games, a first against Arizona in 48 games (Cris Carter, 119/Randy Moss, 104 at Minnesota, 11/12/00). Kicker Neil Rackers tallied Arizona’s only points with two field goals (42, 26 yards) in his first appearance as a Cardinal.

Anquan Boldin, the NFL’s leading rookie receiver, inched closer to becoming the NFL’s 12th

1,000-yard first-year receiver with for receptions for 86 yards, raising his season totals to 60 receptions for 876 yards.

EVEN HE HAD NEVER DONE ITKurt Warner has accomplished a lot in his NFL career, but the one thing he had never done until last week, however, was pass for over 450 yards.

FIRST YEAR IN THE NESTFor the Cardinals, 2007 didn’t just bring with it the promise of a new season, it also ushered in the Ken Whisenhunt era in the desert.

On January 14, the Cardinals named Whisenhunt their new head coach. He came to Arizona after spending the previous six years with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Prior to joining the Steelers, Whisenhunt coached tight ends with the NY Jets (2000), special teams with the Cleveland Browns (1999) and tight ends with the Baltimore Ravens (1997-98).

Having served as the Steelers tight ends coach from 2001-2003, Whisenhunt was then promoted to offensive coordinator where over the next three years he not only helped lead theSteelers to a victory in Super Bowl XL but also gained a reputation as one of the most innovative play-callers in the NFL.

2007 HEAD COACHING CLASSCardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt joined Atlanta’s Bobby Petrino, Miami’s Cam Cameron, Oakland’s Lane Kiffin and Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin as first year head coaches who in 2007 are looking to repeat the success of last year’s rookie coaches Sean Payton (Saints) and Eric Mangini (Jets). Payton and Mangini were the only two first-year head coaches that finished 2006 with a winning record and a playoff appearance.

However, all but of two of the teams (Detroit and Minnesota) managed to improve upon their record from 2005. Below is a list of the 2006 rookie head coaches and the results of their inaugural season compared to their team’s 2005 performance:

NFC AT A GLANCEAt 5-6, the Cardinals are a game out of the Wild Card race. The two NFC Wild Card leaders are the Giants (7-4) and Lions (6-5) while Arizona is tied with Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, Minnesota and New Orleans—all of whom are 5-6.

Arizona’s loss to San Francisco dropped the team to 5-6 and the Cards are now two games behind NFC West leading Seattle, who moved to 7-4 with a 24-19 win at St. Louis.

NOT JUST THE HEAD COACHKen Whisenhunt was known around the league as one of the NFL’s most innovative play callers as offensive coordinator with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Whisenhunt utilizes those skills as an offensive specialist with the Cardinals, continuing to call the plays from the sidelines. There are only 12 coaches in the NFL that call the offensive plays from the sidelines during games.

Below is a list of NFL head coaches who call their own plays:Lane Kiffin (Raiders) Cam Cameron (Dolphins)Brian Billick (Ravens) Sean Payton (Saints)Mike Shanahan (Broncos) Norv Turner (Chargers)Mike McCarthy (Packers) Mike Holmgren (Seahawks)Gary Kubiak (Texans) Jon Gruden (Buccaneers)Andy Reid (Eagles) Bobby Petrino (Falcons)Scott Linehan (Rams)

HALEY FOLLOWING LINEAGECardinals first year offensive coordinator Todd Haley has the Cardinals offense ranked 14th overall in the NFL through Week 12, with the league’s 10th rated passing offense. The Cardinals have also scored 30 points in three consecutive games, a first for the franchise since 1996.

Haley may be in his first year as offensive coordinator for the Cardinals but he is not new to the NFL. In his 11th season as a pro assistant, he comes from the Dallas Cowboys where he was the Cowboys passing game coordinator in 2006.However, Haley’s introduction to the NFL came a lot earlier than that. The son of Dick Haley, the former Director of Player Personnel for the Pittsburgh Steelers (1971-90) and New York Jets (1991-2002), Todd has been around the NFL his entire life.

Long before he became a coach, Haley was a ballboy for the Super Bowl Championship Steelers teams of the 1970s. He got his first NFL coaching job in 1997 with the New York Jets under head coach Bill Parcells. He then went on to coach receivers in Chicago (2001-03) and Dallas (2004-06) before coming to Arizona.

Over Haley’s first 10 seasons as an assistant coach in the NFL, he has helped tutor players to Pro Bowls during six of those campaigns: WR Keyshawn Johnson (Jets 1998, 99, 00), WR Marty Booker (Bears 2003), TE Jason Witten (Cowboys 2005, 2006) and QB Tony Romo (Cowboys 2006).

SUPER STAFF

The Cardinals are a team widely recognized around the league as having outstanding talent. With Pro Bowlers at several skill positions and a young franchise quarterback, the team has been taking huge strides towards success.

The organization took another giant stride in the offseason, securing an almost entirely revamped coaching staff. It is a staff loaded with coaches who have already shown an ability to reach the big game. Whether it be at the collegiate or professional level, as players or as coaches, this staff is one that has shown a knack for bringing home the hardware.

COLLEGE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPSCoach School (Year)Rick Courtright (as a coach) Washington (1991)Matt Raich (as a player) Westminster (1989) Jeff Rutledge (as a player) Alabama (1978)

In total, the Cardinals 2007 coaching staff has a combined 110 years of coaching experience at the NFL level, 115 years of coaching experience at the college level and 50 years of experience playing at the NFL level.

A LOTT OF IMPROVEMENT

One of Ken Whisenhunt’s most talked about staff members has been strength and conditioning coach John Lott.

It didn’t take long for the Texas native and 10-year NFL veteran to make an impact on the organization. Over a six-week period this offseason, Lott oversaw the complete renovation of the Cardinals weight room at the Tempe training facility.

Under Lott, the team’s training philosophy gears more towards free weights (bench press, squats, medicine ball and power cleans) as well as dynamic movements on the field. The new workout is focused not only on improving the players’ strength but their flexibility and overall athleticism as well.

A quick look around the locker room will answer any questions as to whether the offseason program has been a success. The amount of weight that players on both sides of the ball have lost is staggering.

Below are just a few of the players who have lost the most weight over the past few months:

Player New Weight Lost (Lbs)G Elton Brown 340 47DT Gabe Watson 330 40RG Deuce Lutui 338 39LG Reggie Wells 318 23

WHAT THEY DO BESTA Clancy Pendergast defense has a few traits and among them is their ability to get to the quarterback and to intercept him. The Cardinals defense, with 28 sacks in the first 11 games, is on pace for 41 sacks in 2007 which would be the highest total since 1987 when the team also collected 41.

Since he became defensive coordinator in 2004, Pendergast’s defenses have shown a knack for getting after QBs. In the four years he has been in charge, the team has collected 141 sacks.

Most Sacks In A Season Sacks in 4 Yr SpanSacks Year Sacks Years59 1983 183 1983-8655 1984 169 1984-8741 1987 151 1986-8941 1986 146 1987-9039 1988 141 2004-present39 1998 134 1996-99The Cards defense has collected 12 interceptions in 2007 so far as well. That puts the team on pace for 17 on the year, which would mark the highest total for the team since 2002.

If the defense does continue on their current pace, they will become the franchise’s first defense with 40+ sacks and 17+ interceptions in a season since 1984 (55 and 21).

GRIMM TAKES OVER THE LINEOne of the first areas new head coach Ken Whisenhunt wanted to address when he took over in Arizona was the offensive line. The first thing he had to do was find a new offensive line coach but the search is a quick one when you come across a resume that readsas follows:

� Three-time Super Bowl Champion as an offensive lineman

� One Super Bowl Championship as an offensive line coach

� Four-time Pro Bowl selection as an offensive lineman� First-team selection to the 1980’s all-decade team as an

offensive lineman� Hall of Fame nominee finalist

Russ Grimm took over the assistant head coach/offensive line position on January 23 and wasted no time instilling his philosophies of toughness and discipline and finding the personnel to fit that philosophy.

With Grimm’s input, the Cardinals signed free agent linemen Al Johnson and Mike Gandy and drafted tackle Levi Brown with the fifth overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft.

Despite numerous injuries and subsequent position shuffling, the line has allowed 11 less sacks for 96 less yards and have rushed for three more touchdowns and 197 more yards than in the same period last year.

SEASON BY QUARTERSKen Whisenhunt has talked about breaking the 16-game season down into four-game stretches or quarters.

Last week vs. San Francisco, the Cardinals moved their record for the third quarter of the season to 2-1, which puts the team at 5-6 for the season.

The Cardinals close out the third quarter of the season this week as they host the 7-4 Cleveland Browns. The Browns are one of two remaining teams the Cardinals will face who have a record of .500 or above.Here’s a look at the “four quarters” of the Cardinals season and the current records of those opponents:

CARDINALS-BROWNS CONNECTIONSIn 1999, Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt coached the Browns special teams and linebackers coach Billy Davisserved as defensive assistant/linebackers coach for Cleveland. Davis was born in Youngstown, Ohio and went on to play quarterback and wide receiver at the University of Cincinnati from 1985-88.

Cardinals defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast served as Cleveland’s linebackers coach in 2003, the year before he joined Arizona.

From 2005-06 Cardinals running backs coach Maurice Carthon was Cleveland’s offensive coordinator. Under Carthon’s tutelage the Browns finished eighth in the NFL in yards from scrimmage in 2005 and the next season Ruben Droughns rushed for 1,232 yards to become the first Cleveland back to eclipse 1,000 yards since 1985. Cardinals strength and conditioning coach John Lott served in the same capacity on that staff.

Cardinals fullback Terrelle Smith played for the Browns from 2004-06 and led the way for Reuben Droughns to become the first Browns running back to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season since 1985.

Cardinals cornerback Ralph Brown played for the Browns in 2006 and finished third on the team with nine passes defensed as well as recording four starts in 16 games played.

From 1991-94 Cardinals special teams coach Kevin Spencerwas a coaching assistant for Cleveland under Bill Belichick.

From 1997-99 Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd Haleyserved as the New York Jets offensive assistant/wide receivers coach and running backs coach Maurice Carthon served as assistant head coach/running backs while Cleveland Head Coach Romeo Crennel was the defensive line coach.

Browns senior offensive assistant coach Dave Atkins served as the Cardinals offensive coordinator from 1994-95 under Buddy Ryan.

Browns assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach RipScherer was the University of Arizona’s offensive coordinator from 1988-1990 while also serving as director of football operations in 1988.

From 2001-03 Cardinals tight end Tim Euhus was teammates at Oregon State with Browns quarterback Derek Anderson.

Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin (2002), defensive tackle Darnell Dockett (2002-03) and Browns linebacker Kamerion Wimbley (2002-03) were all teammates at Florida State.

From 1999-2001 Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner was teammates in St. Louis with Browns tackle Ryan Tucker and both helped St. Louis to their first championship since 1951 when they won Super Bowl XXXIV.

From 1996-98 Cardinals running back Edgerrin James played at the University of Miami while Browns offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski served as tight ends coach. Chudzinski added offensive coordinator to his duties from 2001-03 and also coached Cardinals cornerback Antrel Rolle (2001-04), Browns quarterback Glen Dorsey (1999-2002), linebacker Leon Williams (2001-04) and tight end Kellen Winslow (2001-03).

NEW TEAMS, SAME RESULTSThis week’s game vs. Cleveland will serve as a reunion of sorts for former Wolverines. University of Michigan alum Steve Breaston, Gabe Watson, Alan Branch and Braylon Edwards will each play in a big role in Sunday’s game, as they used to every Saturday in Ann Arbor. From 2003-04, all four players were part of one of the nation’s top football teams. Since then, they have moved on to new teams but have continued their individual success.DT Gabe Watson-In his second season as a Cardinal, Watson has developed into a formidable force on the defensive line. Drafted in the fourth round (107th overall) in 2006, Watson has started all 11 games this season.WR Steve Breaston-The Cardinals fifth round pick (142nd

overall) in this year’s draft, Breaston has been every bit the explosive special teams performer that the franchise was hoping he would be. Breaston became the first rookie with a punt return for a touchdown since 1986 when he returned one 73 yards vs. Pittsburgh.DT Alan Branch-Slowed by injuries at the beginning of the year, the Cardinals second round selection (33rd overall) in this year’s draft, Branch, has seen his playing time increase and has played well in relief of Gabe Watson in the middle of the defensive line.WR Braylon Edwards-In his third season with the Browns, Edwards, Cleveland’s first round selection (3rd overall) in the 2005 Draft, has developed into one of the NFL’s best young receivers. Edwards has 11 touchdowns, 55 receptions and 894 yard receiving on the year.

TURNOVERS = POINTS = WINSThe Cardinals are currently sitting on a 5-6 record and all but one game has been decided by eight points or fewer. When playing in close games, turnovers can make all the difference. In the only game the Cardinals have lost by more than eight points (15 points vs. Carolina) the team had a negative-five turnover ratio. In the game they won by more than seven points (eight points at Cincinnati) the team had a plus-five turnover ratio.Below is a look at the Cardinals turnovers, the turnover ratio, +/- point total and result of the game for the 10 games this season.

RED ZONE EFFICIENCYThe Cardinals have taken advantage of almost all of the scoring opportunities they have had in 2007. Arizona has entered the red zone 28 times and has walked away with points on 25 of those trips. The team has registered 20 touchdowns, which gives them a 71.4 TD percentage, third best in the NFL.The Cardinals have scored 89.3% of the time they have entered the opponent’s 20-yard line, which is fourth in the NFC and 10th best in the NFL. The team is third overall in the NFL in average points when inside the red zone, averaging 5.5 points per trip inside the opponent’s 20-yard line, which trails only New England, who averages 5.7 points and New Orleans who averages 5.6.

The Cardinals have spread the ball around in scoring their touchdowns as well. Of the 31 total touchdowns that they have scored through 11 games, 12 different players have scored them (A. Boldin-5, E. James-5, L. Pope-4, L. Fitzgerald-3, Antrel Rolle-2 and one each for S. Breaston, R. Hood, J. Urban, R. Wells, K. Warner, Ben Patrick and Marcel Shipp).

The Cardinals scored three of the four times they entered the red zone against San Francisco last week—on a two-yard TD reception by Ben Patrick and on a 1-yard TD run by Marcel Shipp. Patrick and Shipp both scored their first TDs of the season last week.

OUT OF THE SHADOWSTwo weeks ago cornerback Antrel Rolle stepped up with three interceptions (2 TDs) while the secondary was missing Pro Bowl safety Adrian Wilson. Role players have been stepping up all season for the Cardinals.

LB Monty Beisel – Forced into action in the first quarter against Carolina for an injured Karlos Dansby, Beisel went on to start the following two games which included a career performance @ TB in which he registered 15 tackles with 10 being unassisted.G/T Elton Brown – Saw his first action at right tackle in week three @ Bal when starter Levi Brown left the game midway through the second quarter with a knee injury. He would go on to start the next five games at right tackle.C Lyle Sendlein – The undrafted rookie was thrown right into the fire in week one @ SF when starting center Al Johnson injured his knee in the third quarter. Sendlein would start the next two games and would once again be called into action at left guard in week five @ StL when starter Reggie Wells had to move to right tackle to fill in for an injured Elton Brown.WR Jerheme Urban – Signed with the Cardinals eight days prior to the start of the season and was inactive until weekfour when starter Anquan Boldin would be forced out with a hip injury. Urban made the most of his opportunity hauling in a touchdown in his first game, which was a win vs. Pit. He has been active ever since recording at least one reception in his first five games as a Cardinal.

RETURNING A LONG WAYSteve Breaston has proved a major spark for the Cardinals in the kickoff and punt return games. With Breaston’s four punt returns for 28 yards against the 49ers last week, he now has 348 yards on the season, moving him into eighth place on the franchise single-season list.

Breaston became the first Cardinals rookie with a punt return touchdown since Vai Sikahema in 1986 and his 73-yarder was the longest since a 76-yard touchdown by Sikahema in 1987.

RANKING HIGH IN NFCCardinals standouts Edgerrin James, Larry Fitzgerald and Darnell Dockett are all having strong seasons.

ELIMINATING THE NEGATIVEA particular area of success for the Cardinals in 2007 has been avoiding the negative plays. In fact, no NFL team has been better.

Arizona’s totals of 43 negative plays and minus-155 yards are not only well beneath the NFL average (63 for minus-239 yards) but are the lowest in the league.

MAKING A MOVE

In 2006, Edgerrin James moved in the Top 20 on the NFL’s all-time rushing list. He made a significant move up the list in the season opener vs. San Francisco.

It didn’t take long for James to get to 17th on the list, as he only needed 65 yards to pass Tiki Barber for that spot.After rushing for 128 yards in week two vs. Seattle, and 588 yards since then, James now sits in the 16th spot, just 43 yards from O.J. Simpson who currently sits in 15th place on the all-time list and 48 yards from Corey Dillon who sits in 14th place.

Entering 2007, James is the only active player on the Top 20 rushing list.

JAMES HOLDS EDGE OVER ACTIVE RUSHERS

Edgerrin James continues to etch his name in the record books. The four-time Pro Bowler currently ranks 16th on the all time rushing list and leads all active rushers with 11,193yards.

James is the only active rusher to surpass the 11,000-yard mark. The next closest active rusher, Fred Taylor, trails James by 972 yards and passed the 10,000-yard mark in week ten against Tennessee. Warrick Dunn and LaDainian Tomlinson also joined the 10,000-yard club this season.

53 AND COUNTINGEdgerrin James rushed for 128 yards against the Seahawks in week two, giving him four 100-yard games for the Cardinals and 53 for his career. His teams are 47-6 in those games (4-0 with Arizona).James needs four 100-yard games to tie Curtis Martin on the career 100-yard games list with 57.

ANOTHER LEAPEdgerrin James will look to make a significant leap up the NFL’s All-Time rushing list this week when the Cardinals host the Browns. It may not take long for James to make history, as he needs less than 50 yards to move up two spots.

James, who currently sits in the 16th spot on the all-time list with 11,193 yards, needs just 49 yards to put himself in the 14th spot. With 44 yards James would pass O.J. Simpson for the 15th place and with five more he would pass Corey Dillon who sits in the 14th spot with 11,241 yards.

James began 2007 with 10,385 yards, which was good for 19th place on the all-time list. Since then, he has passed Eddie George, Tiki Barber and Ricky Watters to get to where he is now.

THE GREAT REPLACEMENTKurt Warner has been outstanding in relief on Matt Leinart since assuming the backup role last year.

Warner’s career-high 484 passing yards last week vs. SanFrancisco are the second most yards thrown in a game in franchise history (522, Boomer Esiason @ Washington, 11/10/96).

It was Warner’s third career 400+ yard game and the 38th

career regular season game with 300+ yards passing.

11 in 11Last week vs. San Francisco, Larry Fitzgerald reached 1,000 receiving yards on the season. It marks the second 1,000-yard receiving season of his career (1,409 in 2005).

By hitting the 1,000-yard milestone in his 11th game this season, Fitzgerald is tied as the second fastest Cardinal receiver to reach the mark. He trails only David Boston and Roy Green, who both accomplished the feat in 10 games.

SIGN AND PLAYSeven weeks ago, Tim Rattay was helping out his father who is the head coach at Phoenix Christian High School, the same school he attended. He had been taking reps with the team’s quarterbacks since being released by Tennessee in the final cutdown following training camp.

Just one week after losing starting quarterback Matt Leinart for the season with a fractured collar bone, Arizona backup Kurt Warner went down in the first quarter vs. Carolina with an elbow injury that kept him out the remainder of the game.

Rattay went 12-of-24 for 159 yards and three interceptions after taking over for Warner who was 2-for-2 for 21 yards before leaving the game.

He appeared in his second game as a Cardinal at Washington the following week. After playing most of the game vs. Carolina in week six, his appearances at Washington, against Detroit and vs. San Francisco were more limited but very productive.

In those contest, Rattay spelled Kurt Warner near the goal line and completed all three of his passes, a two-yard touchdown and a one-yard touchdown to tight end Leonard Pope and a two-yard touchdown to Ben Patrick.

RATTAY IN RED ZONETim Rattay is making a career out of becoming a short yardage specialist. His two-yard touchdown pass to Ben Patrick in last week’s game vs. San Francisco made him three-for-three in his last three attempts, with each toss resulting in a touchdown to a tight end—Leonard Pope (2) and Ben Patrick (1).Rattay is the first NFL QB to complete three consecutive pass attempts for TDs since Daunte Culpepper did it on 12/24/00.Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson has also completed his last three passes for touchdowns.

EVERYONE PITCHING INIn last week’s game vs. San Francisco, QB Kurt Warner put up some incredible passing statistics.

The 62-yard reception came in overtime and set up a potential game winning 32-yard field goal attempt. The 62-yarder was 47 yards longer than his previous career-high of 15 yards, which he established as a member of the Steelers when the hosted the Browns on 12/2/06.

DEFENSE SETS MODERN NFL RECORDAgainst the Lions three weeks ago, the Cardinals limited Detroit to minus-18 rushing yards on eight attempts.According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that minus-18 yard rushing total is the lowest in a game since the NFL adopted its modern statistical rules regarding rushing plays in 1947. Prior to 1947, what are now called sacks were included in rushing yardage totals.Before the Cardinals played the Lions, the modern mark for fewest rushing yards allowed in a game belonged to the Washington Redskins, who held Philadelphia to minus-12 rushing yards on 10/29/61.

The eight rushing attempts by the Lions offense tied for the lowest total by an opponent in team history, matching the eight that the Buffalo Bills attempted on 9/9/84 in St. Louis.

ANTREL ROLLE TIES NFL RECORDCardinals cornerback Antrel Rolle intercepted three passes, returning two for touchdowns in week 11 in Cincinnati. He also returned his third pick for a touchdown but the score was negated by an erroneous personal foul penalty called on the run back. As it stands, Rolle merely earned a share of the NFL’s all-time record for INT touchdowns in a game. Rolle became the 24th

TWO WEEKS-TWO NFL RECORDS

Antrel’s Day

The three interceptions Rolle collected in Cincinnati are the most by a Cardinal defender since Adrian Wilson recorded three vs. Dallas on 10/20/02.

The Cards win over the Bengals marked the first mulit-interception game of Rolle’s career. Prior to that, Rolle had two career interceptions in his first 30 career games.

With his two touchdowns, Rolle became the 10th Cardinal player to score a touchdown this season.

Quick Facts About the RecordThe Lions offense was held to minus-4 yards rushing in the first half

After the Lions first drive of the game, they had one rush for positive yards (one-yard run by Aveion Cason in the 4th quarter).

The Lions totaled two rushes for positive yards in the game, totaling five yards (four-yard K. Jones TD run and Cason’s 4th quarter run).

A COUPLE OF CAREER GAMESCardinal backup strong safety Oliver Celestin and backup linebacker Joe Tafoya both enjoyed career games last week vs. San Francisco.

Celestin, making his second career start for the injured Adrian Wilson, recorded a career-high 10 tackles. Having never started a game entering the 2007 season, the fourth year pro topped the five tackles he recorded at Denver on 11/20/05.

Tafoya, in his sixth year in the NFL, made his first start for the Cardinals (third of his career) and tied career single-game highs with four tackles and a sack vs. San Francisco. It was Tafoya’s first sack since 12/5/05 @ Philadelphia.

ON A WHOLE NEW PACECardinals fifth-year linebacker Calvin Pace is having a career season. Although he has only played 11 games, he has already eclipsed numerous single season highs and is on pace to surpass numerous career totals:

2007 2003-06Tackles 71 80Solo 58 54Int. 1 0Sacks 4.5 7.5FR 1 2FF 1 3

Pace established a new career high with 2.5 sacks threeweeks ago vs. Detroit. He has a sack, interception, forced fumble and fumble recovery in the same season for the first time in his career.

He led the Cardinals in tackles with seven against Detroit and added another six vs. Cincinnati and eight last week vs. San Francisco. He has recorded seven or more tackles in five games this season while his 4.5 sacks have come inthe last six games. Pace has already more than double his previous career high for tackles in a season (he had 32 in his rookie year of 2003).

DANSBY FIGHTING HIS WAY TO THE TOPHaving experienced significant success despite facing numerous obstacles in his first three years with the Cardinals as an outside linebacker, fourth-year pro Karlos Dansby didn’t miss a beat after being moved to inside linebacker by the team’s new coaching staff. So far in 2007 Dansby has 74 tackles, 3.5 sacks, threeinterceptions and two forced fumbles despite missing two starts due to a knee injury. Including last week’s game vs. San Francisco, Dansby has been responsible for 23 tackles, three interceptions, a sack, four passes defensed and a forced fumble in the three games since returning from the knee injury.

In his first game back after missing games seven and eight due to the injury, Dansby collected two interceptions, a pass defensed, four tackles and a crucial forced fumble two weeksago against Detroit. It also marked the second multi-interception outing of Dansby’s career, the first coming in the season opener at New York, when he ran one of the two back for a touchdown against the Giants on 9/11/05.

Dansby’s third quarter interception two weeks ago gave him an INT in consecutive games for the first time in his career and three in the last two weeks. That interception led to a three-yard Edgerrin James touchdown run that gave the Cardinals a 28-13 lead.In all, Dansby was responsible for four turnovers in games nine and 10, resulting in 17 Arizona points. Despite having only nine starts so far in 2007, Dansby has three interceptions, tying his previous single-season high which he established in 2005 when he started 15 games. Dansby was a major part of a defense that has forced 10turnovers in games nine and 10, resulting in 38 points in games that they have won by a combined 18 points.

THE OPPORTUNISTCardinals fourth-year defensive end Antonio Smith is in his first year as a full-time starter and he has made the most of the opportunity. Having appeared in 30 games with 16 starts between 2004-06, Smith collected 43 tackles, 5.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble in that span.

He has added substantially to those statistics through the first eleven games of 2007.

So far in ‘07, Smith has:

� 44 tackles, which is a new single-season high, and tops the total (43) for his first 30 games in the NFL during his first three seasons.

� His 3.5 sacks though the first eleven contests are also a new single-season high, upping his total of 3.0 sacks which he had in 2005.

� Been part of a defensive line that has kept such successful running backs as Pittsburgh’s Willie Parker, Seattle’s Shaun Alexander, Baltimore’s Willis McGahee and Washington’s Clinton Portis under 100 yards rushing.

� Was part of an offensive line that helped hold the Lions offense to -18 rushing yards, an NFL modern era record dating back to 1947.

A RARE OCCURENCEPro Bowl strong safety Adrian Wilson, the Cardinals longest tenured player, had made 59 consecutive starts (and played in 73 straight games) before sitting out the last two games with a heel injury.

Before that, the last game that Wilson had not started was on 12/14/03 vs. Carolina due to an illness. He did play in the game and recorded three tackles.

In his seventh season with the Cardinals, Wilson hadmissed only two games in his career before last week, the first and last games of the 2002 season:Date Opp Reason9/8/02 @ Was Shoulder12/29/02 @ Den Hamstring

Heading into the game against Cincinnati, Wilson was the only Cardinals player to have started every game since the beginning of the 2004 season. Wilson has 54 tackles on the season along with two interceptions and three passes defensed.

PUTTING UP POINTSArizona’s 31-point effort last week vs. San Francisco gives them 97 points in the last three games and 254 on the season. The Cardinals are 5-2 when they score over 20 and 3-1 when they score 30+ points.

The Cardinals last three games—last week’s 31-37 loss vs. San Francisco, the 35-27 win at Cincinnati and 31-21 win over Detroit give the Cardinals three consecutive games scoring 30+ points for the first time since 1996.

11/11/07 vs. Detroit W 31-2111/18/07 @ Cincinnati W 35-2711/25/07 vs. San Francisco L 31-37(OT)

Arizona’s 254 points on the season put them on pace for 369 points on the year. That would be the highest point total for a Cardinals teams since 1984 when the team was in St. Louis and scored 423 points on the year. That year, the team had seven games with 30 points or higher, finishing 7-0 in those games.

This season, the Cardinals have four games with 30+ points and have scored at least that amount in the last three games and five of the last eight.

HAYES BACK FOR MORECardinals middle linebacker Gerald Hayes got a taste of success in 2006 and he has come back in 2007 looking hungrier than ever.

In his first full season in the NFL, Hayes finished with 111 tackles in ‘06, despite missing the final two games with a rib injury. He led the team in tackles in five games and had three double-digit tackle games while also collecting a sack, three interceptions, seven passes defensed and two fumble recoveries. His outstanding play earned him a five-year contract extension which he signed on 11/6/06. He did not get comfortable though as he came to training camp looking leaner and stronger than ever, having lost around 10 pounds.

With three double-digit tackle games already under his belt in 2007, Hayes is again leading the team in tackles with 86. He has also collected three sacks and a forced fumble.

Hayes Highlights from 2007:Sacked Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck with under two minutes left vs. Seattle in week two, forcing a fumble which the Cardinals recovered. Arizona earned its first victory of the season on Neil Rackers 42-yard FG with time expiring.Lost his helmet but managed to fight his way to QB Jeff Garcia for a sack in a 10 tackle, two tackles for a loss and one sack performance at Tampa Bay.Collected his third sack of the season while in the midst of a 14 tackle outing last week against the San Francisco49ers.

SPENDING TIME IN THE BACKFIELD

Cardinals fourth-year defensive tackle Darnell Dockett has spent a lot of time exactly where his coaches want him, and where opposing offenses don’t—in their backfield.

Dockett has recorded 8.0 sacks, two tackles-for-a-loss, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, five QB pressures and nine QB hits—all in the first eleven games of the season with all of it coming behind the opponent’s offensive line.

To say he is having a breakout year would be an understatement. Below is a look at Dockett’s sack totals from his first three years in the NFL compared to the first elevengames of this year.

Sack Totals 2004-06 Sack Total 2007Year Sacks GP/GS Sacks GP/GS2004 3.5 16/15 8.0 11/112005 0.5 16/162006 2.0 16/16

6.0 48/47

Dockett was typically disruptive in what may be the defense’s crown jewel so far in 2007, establishing a modern era NFL record by holding Detroit’s offense to minus-18 yards rushing for the game in week 10 against Detroit, a record that dates back to 1947.

Dockett had perhaps his best game as a Cardinal in week four against the visiting Steelers. He established a new career-high with his 2.5 sacks while also collecting six tackles, a forced fumble and two QB hits.

Dockett had another remarkable game at Tampa Bay, totaling 10 tackles, two sacks and three QB pressures.

DISRUPTION FROM THE INSIDEDarnell Dockett added two more sacks to his 2007 total inTampa Bay, upping his single season career high to eight, with five games left to play.

With his eight sacks, Darnell Dockett not only holds the NFL lead among interior defensive linemen in 2007, it’s also the most by a Cardinals interior defensive lineman since 1998 (Mark Smith, 9), and the season has five games remaining.Here’s the top sack totals by Card interior defensive linemen since the stat became official in 1982.

Highest interior lineman sack totals:

2006: Darnell Dockett—22005: Ross Kolodziej—32004: Darnell Dockett—3.52003: Kenny King—22002: Russell Davis—22001: Russell Davis—22000: Mark Smith—31999: Eric Swann—41998: Mark Smith—91997: Eric Swann—7.51996: Eric Swann—51995: Eric Swann—8.5

Entering 2007, Dockett had never accumulated a multi-sack game in his three seasons. Now in his fourth year, he has three, while more than doubling his previous single season record of 3.5 in only half the time.

Dockett is leading all defensive lineman with 55 tackles, two more than his previous single season high of 53, established in 2006.

Game 2CARDINALS 23, Seahawks 20

September 16, 2007 – University of Phoenix Stadium – (64,542)

The Cardinals followed a heart-breaking loss in the closing moments at San Francisco in week one with an equally dramatic last-second victory in the home opener vs. Seattle. After the Seahawks erased a 17-0 first half deficit to take a 20-17 lead with 9:52 left, Arizona tied it on the ensuing possession with a 52-yard Neil Rackers FG. The Seahawks then seemed well on their way to a game-winning FG try after advancing to the AZ 36 with 1:55 left but QB Matt Hasselbeck and RB Shaun Alexander collided in the backfield and LB Gerald Hayes knocked the ball loose. DT Darnell Dockett ultimately recovered at the SEA 46 with 1:48 to go. Four straight Edgerrin James runs moved the ball to the 24 and Rackers nailed the 42-yard game winner with 0:01 left on the clock to give Ken Whisenhunt his first victory as head coach.

Arizona dominated much of the first half. On Seattle’s 2nd drive of the game, Sean Morey blocked a Seahawks punt and that led to a 28-yard Rackers FG. After a Seattle 3-n-out, Matt Leinart capped the next drive with a 30-yard TD to TE Leonard Pope on 3rd-n-1 early in the 2nd.Later in the quarter, James scored on a 17-yard run to put the Cards up 17-0 with 5:43 to play in the first half. The Seahawks offense crossed midfield for the first time on the next drive (their 6th of the game) and capped it when Hasselbeck found WR Nate Burleson with a 24-yard TD pass. Arizona scrambled for a 53-yard FG try but Rackers 53-yarder hit the left upright as the half ended.

On the opening drive of the 2nd half, LB Lofa Tatupu halted Arizona when he INT’d Leinart and returned it 16 yards to the SEA 48. That set-up a 16-yard Alexander TD run that trimmed the AZ lead to 17-14. Josh Brown then kicked 28-yard FGs on the next two possessions to put Seattle ahead for the first time. On the next AZ drive, a 35-yard catch-n-run by Anquan Boldin took it to the 25 but a holding penalty then backed them up. Rackers saved the scoring chance with his game-tying 52-yarder. With 1:55 left, Seattle was at the AZ36 and close to Brown FG range when the game-changing fumble took place.

James’ 128 rushing yards were his most with the Cardinals and his 17-yard TD run was the longest. Leinart finished 1-yard shy of a 300-yard passing day.

Game 149ers 20, CARDINALS 17

September 10, 2007 – Monster Park – (68,111)

The Cardinals opened the 2007 with a Monday night match at San Francisco and were seconds away from victory before a late Niners rally sent them home 0-1.

In the first half, each team had a FG and converted a turnover into a TD to make it 10-10 at intermission. On Arizona’s first offensive play of the game, QB Matt Leinart was INT’d by Walt Harris, who returned it to the AZ 6. Two snaps later, Frank Gore ran up the middle and scored on a 6-yard run. Early in the second, the Cardinals got on the board when Neil Rackers’ 35-yard FG ended a 13-play, 53-yard drive. On the next drive, LB Karlos Dansby blitzed up the middle and sacked Alex Smith, forcing a fumble that DE Antonio Smith recovered at the SF 36. That set-up a 7-yard Edgerrin James TD run that made it 10-7. James led a Cardinals ground attack that was very productive and he opened his second Cards season by rushing 26 times for 92 yards. Meanwhile the AZ defense again did an outstanding job containing SF back Frank Gore, limiting the Pro Bowl RB to 55 yards on 18 carries. They also held talented TE Vernon Davis to 2 catches for 4 yards. After the James TD, the Niners responded with a long drive that reached the AZ 16 before settling for a 33-yard Joe Nedney FG that tied it at the half.

A 30-yard Nedney FG on SF’s opening drive of the second half gave the Niners a 13-10lead they took midway through the fourth. Arizona then went ahead when Leinart connected with WR Anquan Boldin on a 5-yard TD pass to cap a 58-yard drive. One of the key plays came on 3rd-n-3 from the SF30 when Leinart scrambled 20 yards for the first down. Nursing the lead, the Cards were forced to punt it back to SF, who took over at its own 14 with 2:58 left and needing a TD to win. Smith quickly completed passes to get SF near midfield. Facing a 4th-n-1 at the AZ45 with 1:43 left, Smith eluded the Cards rush and ran 25 yards for a 1st down. Three plays later on 3rd-n-13 at the 23, Smith lofted it down the middle to Arnaz Battle who caught it at the 1 before fumbling into the end zone. CB Eric Green had a chance to recover but could not and the ball returned to the spot of the fumble when SF recovered. On the next play Battle took a handoff on a reverse and scored from a yard out. Arizona’s comeback hopes were officially dashed when Leinart’s deep pass on the next snap was intercepted.

Game 3Ravens 26, CARDINALS 23

September 23, 2007 – M&T Bank Stadium – (71,372)In a wild week 3 contest at Baltimore, the Cardinals battled back from a 17-point 4th quarter deficit to tie the game late. However, the Ravens escaped with the win thanks to a 46-yard FG as time expired on a drive that was significantly aided by a suspect personal foul call. Each team utilized its back-up QB and each executed when needed. Kurt Warner initially replaced Cards starter Matt Leinart for a series in the 2nd quarter to run a pre-planned, no-huddle package better suited for the veteran. Warner returned late in the third when AZ went to the set exclusively and engineered the comeback.

Early on, the AZ offense had trouble finding a rhythm but the defense kept things close. Each of Baltimore’s first 2 drives went deep into Cards territory and while lengthy (14 plays and 70+ yards per), each ended with a Matt Stover FG. Warner entered the game for the first time midway thru the 2nd quarter and quickly moved the ball with passes to Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald to set-up a 48-yard Neil Rackers FG that made it 6-3. The Ravens answered on the next drive with a 13-yard scoring pass from Steve McNair to Derrick Mason just after the 2:00 warning. A 3-n-out forced a Cards punt that Yamon Figurs returned 75 yards for a score that made it 20-3. While Leinart put AZ in position for a 47-yard FG try with :23 left, Rackers’ try sailed about a foot right.

Early in the 3rd, DT Darnell Dockett forced a McNair fumble and Bertrand Berry recovered at the Raven 35, leading to a Rackers FG. AZ then recovered a surprise onside kick and Warner re-entered the game. The next play saw him hit Fitzgerald for 27 yards to the Raven 27 but the WR fumbled at the end of the play and CB Corey Ivy recovered. A Stover FG (43) made it 23-6 late in the 3rd. Warner responded by completing 6-6 passes for 72 yards and hit Boldin with a 5-yard TD pass. Kyle Boller then entered the game in relief of McNair but the AZ D forced a 3-n-out. Warner then struck again with a 2-play scoring drive - a 22-yard pass to Fitzgerald and a 32-yard TD to Boldin that made it a 3-point game. After forcing a punt, AZ took over at its own 13 with 5:33 left and Warner led a drive that ended with Rackers’ game-tying 41-yarder. With 0:47 left, TE Todd Heap caught a 12-yard pass at the Ravens 46 before being leveled on a clean hit by SS Adrian Wilson that back judge Bob Wagoner inexplicably penalized, moving the ball to the AZ 39 and setting up Stover’s game-winner.

In addition to Warner’s outstanding performance, Boldin set a career-high with 14 catches (2nd-most in team history) for 181 yards and 2 TDs for his 20th career 100-yard day.

Game 4CARDINALS 21, Steelers 14

September 30, 2007 – University of Phoenix Stadium – (64,844)

In a week 4 match-up rife with subplots, the Cardinals scored 21 second half points against the NFL’s #2 ranked defense to upset the previously unbeaten Steelers and move to 2-2. The Arizona sideline featured many with ties to Western PA and the Steelers, most notably head coach Ken Whisenhunt and top assistant Russ Grimm who were once Steeler assistants. Playing without Pro Bowl WR Anquan Boldin, the Cardinals relied on Larry Fitzgerald (11-123 receiving) and a QB rotation of Matt Leinart & Kurt Warner. Defensively, they limited league-leading RB Willie Parker to 37 yards on 19 carries while halting his 100-yard game streak at 4. They also picked off Ben Roethlisberger twice and forced punts on 7 of Pittsburgh’s 9 other drives.

From the outset, it was clear it would be a hard-hitting affair and points would be hard to come by. Pittsburgh notched the game’s first score late in the opening quarter when Roethlisberger hit WR Santonio Holmes with a 43-yard TD pass on a 3rd-n-26 play. None of the next 7 Steeler drives, however, produced points and ended in punts (6) and an INT (1). While Leinart QB’d the first 3 drives, Warner entered with 4:56 to go in the 2nd quarter to run the no-huddle as he had the week before in Baltimore. On the 2nd play of the series he hit Larry Fitzgerald with a 20-yard pass to the PIT37 but the WR fumbled at the end of the play and S Troy Polamalu returned the recovery to midfield. The AZ defense answered and DT Darnell Dockett recorded the 2nd of his 3.0 sacks on the day to force a punt. Warner & Co. ran the 2:00 offense well enough to yield a FG try but Neil Rackers’ 52-yarder was wide left as the half expired.

On Arizona’s opening drive of the 3rd quarter, Warner led a 9-play, 70-yard drive on which he was 6-7passing for 45 yards (4-28 to Fitzgerald) and capped it with a 6-yard pass to WR Jerheme Urban, who saw extended action in Boldin’s absence. With the game tied at 7 late in the 3rd, the Cards gave Pittsburgh a golden opportunity when Warner mishandled a shotgun snap and the Steelers recovered at the AZ4. After stopping Parker on the first two downs, S Adrian Wilson halted the threat by stepping in front of TE Heath Miller in the endzone and recording the INT. The game was still tied early in the 4th when rookie Steve Breaston fielded a Steelers punt at the AZ27 and took it 73 yards for Arizona’s first punt return TD since 1993. Leading 14-7, the Cards D forced another Pittsburgh punt and when the offense took over at its own 18 with 11:33 left it was with Leinart back at QB. On his first snap he hit Fitzgerald on a 38-yard pass to the PIT44 and despite leaving for 1 play after a violent but unpenalized hit, engineered a long (13-82, 7:19) drive that ended with a 2-yard Edgerrin James run that made it 21-7. James was 7-20 on the drive and Leinart was 3-4-56 passing but his biggest play may have been with his legs. Facing a 4th-n-1 at the PIT24, the Cards passed on a FG try that could have made it a 10-point game and Leinart picked up the 1st down on a sneak. Roethlisberger then made it a one score game on the next drive when he hit Holmes with a 7-yard TD pass with 1:54 but Fitzgerald recovered the ensuing onside kick and that, along with a Ralph Brown INT 89 second later sealed the win.

Game 5CARDINALS 34, Rams 31

October 7, 2007 – Edward Jones Dome – (61,788)The Cardinals moved to 3-2 and recorded their first road win of ’07 thanks to a 3-point victory at St. Louis that put them in a first place tie in the NFC West. The Cardinals again employed the 2-QB rotation of Matt Leinart and Kurt Warner before Leinart suffered a fractured collarbone late in the 1st half and Warner went the rest of the way against his former team. Playing a 2nd straight week without Pro Bowl WR Anquan Boldin, fellow all-pro Larry Fitzgerald recorded his 2nd consecutive 100-yard game (9-136) and had a pivotal TD late in the 4th.

Winless and minus several starters, the Rams gave the Cardinals everything they could handle. Back-up Gus Frerotte started at QB and ran a no-huddle set that produced a FG and TD on the first two St. Louis drives while Arizona’s Neil Rackers hit a 50-yard FG in between. Warner entered the game midway thru the 2nd quarter and ran the Cards no-huddle package that netted the team’s first TD when G Reggie Wells scored his first career TD by falling on an Edgerrin James fumble in the end zone. On the 2nd play of the next Arizona drive, Leinart suffered the collarbone injury on a sack by LB Will Witherspoon. Jeff Wilkins then hit a 35-yard FG with 1:17 left in the first half to put the Rams up 13-10 but Warner followed with a drive punctuated by several bold calls. With 0:36 left and facing a 4th-n-6 at the SL 41, the Cards went for it and Warner hit Fitzgerald for 6. Two plays later the two connected on a 34-yarder to the one and used their final timeout with 0:14 left. When James was stopped for no gain on the next play, time expired before the Cards could get a snap off but the Rams were flagged for intentionally kicking the ball and on the untimed down, Warner dove up and over for the TD putting Arizona up 17-13 at the half.

The Rams re-claimed the lead on the opening drive of the 2nd half when Frerotte hit Torry Holt with an 11-yard TD pass. St. Louis’ next drive ended when a pass glanced off Holt’s hands to Cards CB Rod Hood. The INT set the Cards up at the Rams 14 but two plays later Fakhir Brown recorded his second INT of the game when he picked off a Warner pass in the end zone. The Cards tied it with a 32-yard Rackers FG on their next drive, then took a 27-20 lead early in the 4th when Hood snatched a Frerotte pass and returned it 68 yards for his first career TD. A 31-yard Wilkins FG made it 27-23 midway thru the 4th and the Rams soon got the ball back after a Cards 3-n-out. However, SS Adrian Wilson killed the threat with an amazingly athletic play on a 34-yard Frerotte pass attempt that he broke up with his left hand, batting it to himself for an INT that he returned to the Rams 39. That drive ended with Warner’s perfect pass on 3rd-n-goal from the 7 that Fitzgerald caught for his first TD of the season. The Rams added a TD and 2-point conversion on the next drive but Fitzgerald recovered the on-side kick to seal the win.

Game 6Panthers 25, CARDINALS 10

October 14, 2007 – University of Phoenix Stadium – (64,403)The Cardinals fell to 3-3 and dropped their first home game of the year with a 25-10 loss to the Panthers. However, they stayed in a first-place tie atop the NFC West with Seattle, who lost at home to the Saints. It was a battle of the battered as both teams began the week by placing their starting quarterbacks on I.R. – Arizona’s Matt Leinart (collarbone) and Carolina’s Jake Delhomme (elbow). The Panthers were further hampered when #2 man David Carr (back) was unable to go and in a game-time decision turned to 43-year-old Vinny Testaverde, who had joined the team midweek. Arizona was soon in a similar position when starter Kurt Warner injured his left (non-throwing) elbow midway through the opening quarter on a sack by Julius Peppers. The Cards turned to their own recent signee, Tim Rattay, who had just joined the team on Tuesday.

Carolina’s John Kasay kicked FGs off 33 and 43 yards on consecutive drives at the end of the first quarter and start of the second to give the Panthers a 6-0 lead. On the next possession, the Cards answered by moving 80 yards in 12 plays and capped it with Edgerrin James’ longest TD run as a Cardinal (23 yards). James was 7-43 rushing on the drive while Rattay was 4-4 for 28 passing. Neither team was able to record a first down on the next 5 combined possessions and the half ended with Arizona leading 7-6.

Kasay’s 24-yard FG on Carolina’s 2nd possession of the 2nd half put the Panthers ahead 9-7 but Arizona again responded on the next series. WR Larry Fitzgerald – playing for the 3rd straight game without fellow all-pro Anquan Boldin (hip) – outleapt a Carolina defender to come down with a 36-yard completion from Rattay and that was key in setting up a 50-yard Neil Rackers FG that gave Arizona a 1-point lead. Kasay’s miss on a 45-yard attempt early in the 4th allowed the Cards to hold onto that lead further into the final quarter. With 5:52 to play, Carolina took over at its own 10 but a 25-yard pass interference penalty on 1st down moved it to the 35 and on the next snap, Testaverde hooked up with Steve Smith on a 65-yard TD that gave Carolina a 15-10 lead after the 2-point try failed. On the very next play from scrimmage, Rattay’s pass attempt went off the hands of TE Leonard Pope and was INT’d by CB Ken Lucas at the AZ 36. That led quickly to a 45-yard Kasay FG which made it 18-10. With 3:26 to go and the Cards needing a TD and 2-point conversion to tie, the offense had advanced to midfield. Rattay seemed to have WR Jerheme Urban open down the middle but the receiver bobbled the pass and Deke Cooper corralled the loose ball for an INT. On the next snap, DeAngelo Williams raced 75 yards off left tackle to the 14 and shortly thereafter he scored from 13 yards out to put Carolina up 25-10 and put the game out of reach.

Game 7Redskins 21, CARDINALS 19

October 21, 2007 – Fed Ex Field – (85,640)

The Cardinals dug themselves an early hole at DC but battled back in thrilling fashion. They scored 13 fourth quarter points to pull within two but were unsuccessful on both a 2-point try with 0:21 left that would have tied it and a 55-yard FG in the closing seconds that would have won it. Instead the team fell to 3-4 and out of first place.

QB Kurt Warner turned in a gutsy performance for the Cards. Starting a week after tearing a ligament in his left elbow, he played the entire game with a heavily braced arm and was instrumental in leading Arizona’s comeback. He also showed tremendous resiliency in battling back from a pair of INTs that led to Washington’s 2 first-half TDs. On the Cards 2nd drive, FS Sean Taylor returned a Warner INT 48 yards to the AZ25 setting up a 2-yard Clinton Portis run. Midway through the 2nd quarter, MLB London Fletcher picked Warner off at the AZ27 and returned it for a TD. Late in the 1st half, the Cards went for it on 4th-n-2 at the WASH48 but came up short, turning itover on downs. The Arizona D then came up with one of its many huge plays on the next snap. DE Bertrand Berry sniffed out a screen and batted Jason Campbell’s pass into the arms of LB Calvin Pace who returned his first career INT 14 yards to the WASH23 with 1:46 to play. The Cards ultimately faced a 4th-n-goal at the 2 with 0:06 left when Warner hit WR Anquan Boldin for a TD that made it 14-6 after the PAT was blocked. After missing the previous 3 contests with a hip injury, Boldin finished with a game-high 8 catches and 2 receiving TDs.

Redskin Rock Cartright returned the opening kickoff of the 2nd half 71 yards to the AZ21 but a Pace sack on 3rd down backed the ‘Skins up and kicker Shaun Suisham missed from 41. The Redskins didn’t miss on their next drive, moving 59 yards in 11 plays and took a 21-6 lead on Portis’ 1-yard TD run. Arizona then narrowed it to 21-13 early in the 4th thanks to a 10-yard Warner-to-Boldin connection. The 12-play, 72-yard drive was aided by a pair of Redskin personal fouls (S LaRon Landry & Fletcher). Arizona’s next drive reached the WASH5 thanks to completions of 22 and 43 yards to TE Leonard Pope and WR Larry Fitzgerald, respectively. However, DE Andre Carter’s sack of Warner forced a fumble that DE Phillip Daniels recovered at the WASH13 to kill the drive midway thru the 4th. Arizona’s D kept the comeback hoped alive by forcing 3-n-outs on the next two Washington drives and overall did not allow a first down in the entire 4th quarter. With 2:37 left, the Cards took over at their own 29. A 22-yard pass to WR Jerheme Urban was followed 2 plays later by a 29-yard catch-n-run to the WASH2 by RB J.J. Arrington. After 2 runs failed to reach the end zone, back-up QB Tim Rattay was inserted for a 3rd-n-goal play from the 1 with 0:26 left. On a play action pass, he found Pope for a TD. On the tying 2-point try, Boldin took a direct snap in shot-gun and tried a pass to Fitzgerald that was short. The Cards had life when Urban recovered the on-side kick at the AZ41 with 0:20 left and one timeout. Consecutive catches of 15 and 7 yards by WR Bryant Johnson set-up a game-winning FG try but Neil Rackers’ 55-yarder with 0:02 left was just wide.

Game 8Buccaneers 17, CARDINALS 10

November 4, 2007 – Raymond James Stadium – (65,267)

The Cardinals returned from the bye week with a road game at Tampa against the 4-4 Bucs. A win would have upped Arizona’s record to 4-4 at the season’s midway mark but the Tampa defense proved to be too formidable a foe. After notching a FG on their opening drive of the game, Arizona failed to record another first down the rest of the half. The 3rd quarter was also all Tampa as the Bucs held a 13:13 to 1:47 edge in time of possession and took a 17-3 lead into the final stanza. The Cards scored a TD midway through the 4th to make it a one score game at 17-10. They would get the ball back twice more but were unable to find the end zone either time.Arizona’s day got off the a fast start when Kurt Warner connected with Larry Fitzgerald for a 44-yard pass play on the game’s second play from scrimmage. The completion looked like it might go the distance but Fitzgerald stepped out at the TB 33. The play did set up a 47-yard Neil Rackers FG that gave AZ its only lead of the day at 3-0. Tampa responded on the next series with a 10-play, 77-yard drive. The score came when WR Joey Galloway wrestled the ball from FS Terrence Holt for a 37-yard TD from Jeff Garcia. On the first play of the 2nd quarter, the Cards were backed up to their own 3 after a Tampa punt when Warner was INT’d by FS Tanard Jackson setting the Bucs up at the AZ17. The Cards defense forced them to settle for a 32-yard Matt Bryant FG. The only other chance for points by either team came just before intermission when Bryant missed from 58 yards as the half expired.Tampa opened the 2nd half with an 11-play, 64-yard drive that ended with a 2-yard Ernest Graham TD run that made it 17-3. The Bucs then chewed up a large part of the 2nd half on their next drive that consumed 11:59 in 19 plays. They moved from their own 6 to the AZ 8 but Arizona caught a break when TE Alex Smith dropped a pass in the end zone on 3rd down and then Bryant missed a 26-yard FG try. The Cards then embarked upon an 80-yard, 11-play drive and Edgerrin James made it 17-10 with 7:30 to go with a 3-yard TD run. The drive’s key play was a 16-yard completion to Fitzgerald on 3rd-n-15 from the TB 22. After forcing a punt on the next TB drive, the Cards could not move the chains and punted back to the Bucs with 3:13 left. After Arizona’s D sent the Bucs 3-n-out on the next series the Cardinals offense took over at its own 16 with 2:39 left, no timeouts and needing a TD to tie. The comeback try quickly ended when Kurt Warner’s first down pass was ruled an INT by Jermaine Phillips even though replays showed he failed to get two feet in bounds. Because the Cards were out of timeouts they could not challenge.

Game 9CARDINALS 31, Lions 21

November 11, 2007 – University of Phoenix Stadium – (64,753)After two road games sandwiched around the bye, the Cards played a home game for the first time in nearly a month when they hosted the Lions. While Arizona looked to snap a 3-game losing streak, Detroit entered at 6-2 and riding the momentum of 3 straight victories. Thanks to an all-around solid performance from the offense, special teams and especially the defense, the Cards earned a 10-point win that upped their mark to 4-5 (3-1 at home). Leading the way was LB Karlos Dansby, who returned from a 2-week injury hiatus (knee) to record 2 INTs and a forced fumble. Arizona also held Detroit to minus-18 rushing yards (8 attempts), the lowest total in the NFL’s modern era (post-1947). Offensively, WR Larry Fitzgerald and TE Leonard Pope each caught a pair of TDs.

On the game’s first drive, Detroit created the first break when SS Kenoy Kennedy INT’d Kurt Warner and returned the pick 38 yards to the AZ25. That set-up a 4-yard Kevin Jones TD run 3 plays later. The first play of Detroit’s next drive saw Dansby dive in front of a Jon Kitna pass and that INT resulted in a 23-yard Neil Rackers FG. After trading punts on the next 5 drives, a 46-yard Steve Breaston punt return to the DET13 set-up a 1-yard Warner TD pass to Fitzgerald that made it 10-7 midway through the 2nd. The next drive was Arizona’s longest of the year as they moved 90 yards in 15 plays. It was engineered mostly by Warner but back-up Tim Rattay entered at the goal-line and tossed a 1-yard TD pass to Pope with 0:18 left in the first half. As the Cards built a 17-7 lead, the Lions offense had no success. At intermission, AZ led 21:17 to 8:43 in T.O.P. and had limited Detroit to 2 first downs and 46 total yards of offense.

On the opening series of the 2nd half, Detroit advanced to the AZ26 when Dansby sniffed out a reverse by WR Shaun McDonald and not only tackled him for a 15-yard loss but forced a fumble that Antonio Smith recovered near midfield. Pope scored his 2nd TD of the day on a 16-yard pass from Warner that gave AZ 24 unanswered points. Detroit ended the run when Kitna connected with WR Roy Williams on a 7-yard TD pass late in the 3rd quarter,making it 24-14. Breaston returned the ensuing kickoff 52 yards to the DET 43 but Arizona turned it over to start a series of giveaways by both sides (6 total in the final 15:19 of play). Lions DT Langston Moore blew up a Warner handoff to Edgerrin James in the backfield forcing a turnover. Two plays later, Cards DT Darnell Dockett pounced on a loose ball from a failed center exchange, recovering at the DET36. With 13:37 left, Fitzgerald hauled in a pass from Warner and took it for a 20-yard TD. The teams then traded turnovers on the next 4 possessions but the only additional scoring came with 75 second left in the game when Williams and Kitna hooked up for a 7-yard TD.

Game 10CARDINALS 35, Bengals 27

November 18, 2007 – Paul Brown Stadium – (65,403)The Cardinals won their 2nd straight game and upped their record to 5-5 thanks to a hard-fought road win at Cincinnati. The Bengals led in almost every statistical category but for the 2nd week in a row, Arizona forced 5 takeaways and that 5-0 plus/minus edge was the difference. Nickel CB Antrel Rolle, who entered the game with 2 career picks, recorded 3 of Arizona’s 4 INTs off Carson Palmer (a career-worst) and returned a pair for TDs tying the NFL record. He also went the distance on his 3rd pick but a suspect penalty on the return wiped out the score.

On their first drive of the game, the Bengals capitalized on a short field when Palmer hit WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh with a 19-yard TD pass. Arizona’s next series ended when Neil Rackers was wide left on a 54-yard FG try. Two plays later though, Rolle stepped in front of a Palmer pass intended for Houshmandzadeh on the left side and cut across field en route to a 55-yard TD that tied the score. Cincy, which was effective throughout the game with its no-huddle offense, added a 41-yard Shayne Graham FG on its next drive. AZ answered when WR Anquan Boldin beat S Dexter Jackson deep down the middle and Kurt Warner hit him with a 44-yard TD strike. Graham’s 38-yard FG then cut Arizona’s lead to 14-13. Late in the 1st half, Warner led an impressive 9-play, 85-yard drive that included a pair of crafty plays from the veteran QB. On successive snaps he was under heavy duress when he first flipped it underhand to RB J.J. Arrington for 3 yards and then tossed a pass with his left arm (still heavily braced due to a torn ligament) to TE Leonard Pope, who gained 22. That led to a more conventional 5-yard Warner TD pass to Larry Fitzgerald with 0:13 left in the half that made it 21-13 at intermission.

The 3rd quarter was a wild one and saw the teams combined for 28 points. On the 2nd half’s 1st play from scrimmage, LB Karlos Dansby picked off Palmer at the AZ43 and returned it 28 yards to the 24. That set-up a 3-yard Edgerrin James TD run that made it 28-13. Cincy then marched deep into AZ territory but after a reception to the 9-yard line, WR Chad Johnson fumbled and FS Terrence Holt recovered to end the threat. The next Bengals drive though saw them pull to within 8 when Palmer connected with WR Chris Henry deep down the left side for a 37-yard score. Just 1:41 later, Cincy’s DeDe Dorsey blocked a Mike Barr punt and returned it 19 yards for a TD that made it a 1-point game. In the final minute of the 3rd quarter, Cincy had it near midfield when on 3rd-n-3 Rolle jumped Johnson’s route for an INT and raced 54 yards down the right sideline for his 2nd score of the day, ending the jaunt with a cartwheel and flip in the end zone. That TD put AZ up 8 at 35-27 with a full quarter to play. Arizona’s offense was unable to salt the game away with any sustained drives and Cincy would get the ball 4 times in the final quarter. The first ended with the lone Bengal punt of the day while AZ halted the next 2 with 4th down stops (Henry dropped pass on 4th-n-6 at the AZ37/9:00 mark and Calvin Pace knocked down a pass on 4th-n-5 at the AZ34/3:02 left). The final Cincy drive reached the AZ36 with 0:55 left but after a holding penalty backed them up, Rolle ended their hopes with his 3rd theft of the day.

Game 1149ers 37, CARDINALS 31 (OT)

November 25, 2007 – University of Phoenix Stadium – (65,483)The Cardinals had a chance to move to 6-5 and avenge a week 1 loss to the Niners but instead San Fran snapped its 8-game losing skid in a back-and-forth overtime thriller. In a game of big plays, each side seemed to have made the game-winning one at different times. In the end it was the 49ers who came up with the biggest and ultimately decisive one with a sack and fumble recovery in the end zone in OT. Kurt Warner played admirably for the Cards and finished with 484 passing yards while Larry Fitzgerald hauled in 9 passes for 156 yards and 2 TDs. Penalties (10), turnovers (4) and other miscues proved costly for the Cards.

AZ took the game’s opening drive 92 yards and capped it with a 28-yard Warner TD pass to Fitzgerald. Later in the first, CB Walt Harris INT’d a Warner pass at the AZ32 which led to a 2-yard TD pass from Trent Dilfer to TE Vernon Davis. Michael Lewis’ 51-yard punt return to the AZ 19 setting up a 19-yard Joe Nedney FG. On the next snap, Anquan Boldin caught a 9-yard pass before fumbling and SF safety Mark Roman returned it 43 yards to the AZ6. Two plays later, Frank Gore ran 11 yards to put SF up 17-7. On the next AZ drive, Marcel Shipp scored on a 1-yard run to cut the 49er lead to 3. When SF’s Joe Nedney missed a 55-yard FG in the half’s final moments the Cards took over at their own 45 with 0:06 left. A 7-yard pass to Sean Morey left AZ time for a Hail Mary heave as time expired and it was answered when Fitzgerald came down with Warner’s 48-yard pass in the end zone.

The opening drive of the 2nd half saw SF fail on a fake punt but the next 49er drive netted a 57-yard Dilfer-to-Arnaz Battle TD that put SF up 24-21. AZ answered with its own TD drive to re-claim the lead. The score came when goal-line sub QB Tim Rattay found rookie TE Ben Patrick with a 2-yard pass on 4th-n-1 at the 2. The AZ defense then seemed to make a game-changing play on the next drive. After reaching the AZ27 with 5:49 left, SF went for it on 4th-n-1 but Gore was stopped for no gain. The Cards went 3-n-out and Gore ended the next drive with his 35-yard TD run that put SF up 31-28 with 85 seconds left. After the kickoff, AZ took over at its own 15 with 1:11 to play and 1 timeout. Warner then completed 5 straight passes for 81 yards, the last of which was a 30-yarder to Bryant Johnson to the 1. After a timeout and a shot at the end zone, Rackers hit a 19-yarder to force OT.

The teams traded punts to start OT. Then on the 2nd play of AZ’s 2nd drive, Warner connected with Morey on a 62-yard pass to the SF 24. On 2nd down from the 9, AZ sent Rackers out for a 27-yard FG that turned into a 32-yarder following a delay of game penalty but the game-winning try sailed a foot left. San Fran again punted on the next drive but after a block in the back, AZ took over at its own 3. The game ended on the next snap when DT Ronald Fields sacked Warner in the end zone, forcing a fumble that LB Tully Banta-Cain recovered for the game-winning TD.
