It was Arizona’s first win in Seattle since 2002 and gives the team its best record after 10 since 1977 (also 7-3). It was also the Cards 5 th straight divisional win (longest since 7 straight in the NFC East, 1975-76) and meant a sweep of division road games for the first time since 1968 as members of the NFC Century division (Cleveland, New Orleans, Pittsburgh). A win on Sunday combined with BOTH a San Francisco loss (at Dallas) AND a Seattle loss or tie (vs. Washington) would give Arizona its first division title since 1975 in St. Louis as a member of the NFC East. The task will certainly be a challenging one as the Giants return to University of Phoenix Stadium for the first time since defeating the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. At 9-1, New York owns the conference’s best record and is coming off a convincing 30-10 home win over the Ravens. This week’s game pairs two of the league’s most potent offenses. The Giants and Cardinals rank 1 and 2 in the NFL in points scored (292 & 289, respectively) though they accomplish it in different ways. The Arizona aerial assault is #2 in the NFL in passing and 2 nd overall while the Giants have the #1 ground game and 4 th rated overall offense. Defensively, the Cards are 7 th against the run while NYG is #2 against the pass. Arizona is 4-0 at home in ’08 and has a 7-game home win streak stretching to the end of last season. That is the longest such streak for the team since winning nine straight in 1925.

CARDINALS & GIANTS IN 2008 THE SERIESThis week’s game between the Cardinals and Giants is the 123rd meeting between the two teams in a series that dates back to 1926. It isthe Cardinals third-oldest rivalry (Chicago, Green Bay) and the Cardinals have faced the Giants more times than any other NFL franchise.

Between 1950 and 2001, the Cardinals played twice a year (except in 1968 and 1982) as members of the NFC East before the Cardinals joined the NFC West in re-alignment.

SERIES NOTESOverall Regular Season Series: 41-79-2Cardinals at home vs. NYG: 22-31-2Cardinals last win: 11/14/04 vs. NYG, 17-14First Meeting: 11/7/26 @ NYG,L, 0-20Last Meeting: 9/11/05 @ NYG, L, 19-42

The Cardinals have won the last two home games against the Giants dating back to 2002. The Cardinals longest home winning streak in the series was seven games 1973-79.

The Giants hold a 6-4 advantage over the Cardinals in the last 10 home games for the Cardinals. The Cardinals first home win against the Giants was a 17-3 victory on 10/29/50.

THE LAST TIMEGiants 42, CARDINALS 19

September 11, 2005 – Giants Stadium – (78,387)Arizona opened the 2005 regular season with a road game vs. the Giants. The Cards led 13-7at halftime but were outscored 35-6 in the second half and fell 42-19. The loss negated outstanding individual performances by a pair of second-year players, WR Larry Fitzgerald and LB Karlos Dansby, who were responsible for Arizona’s two TDs. Fitzgerald finished with 13 catches for 155 yards (first career 100-yard game) and a TD while Dansby recorded a sack and two INTs off Eli Manning, the first of which he returned for his first career TD.

A 20-yard TD pass from Eli Manning to TE Jeremy Shockey capped NYG’s first drive of the game and gave them a 7-0 lead. The Cards got on the board early in the second with a 13-play, 80-yard drive that produced a 24-yard Neil Rackers FG. Arizona QB Kurt Warner, who was making his Cardinals debut vs. his former team, was particularly sharp on the drive, going 6-6 for 73 yards. Less than a minute after trimming the Giant lead to 7-3, Dansby put the Cards up when he picked off a Manning pass at the NYG 18 and returned it for a score. Dansby then killed the next NYG drive with a 14-yard sack of Manning and on the ensuing possession, Rackers connected from 42 yards to cap a 13-play, 61-yard drive that put the Cards up 13-7. Dansby ended the next Giant drive when he made a one-handed diving INT of a Manning pass that was tipped by DE Chike Okeafor but the Cards failed to capitalize after getting the ball at the NYG 29 as a pair of sacks backed them out of scoring range.

The nightmare second half began when a 44-yard pass to Plaxico Burress on the third play after intermission set up a 5-yard Brandon Jacobs rushing TD. On the next play from scrimmage, S Gibril Wilson INT’d Warner and returned it to the AZ 21. On the next play after that, Tiki Barber burst 21 yards up the middle for a TD that gave NY a 21-13 lead just 3:12 into the third quarter. A 59-yard return of the ensuing kickoff by Reggie Swinton started a drive that ended on a 1-yard Warner to Fitzgerald TD pass that made it 21-19 after the two-point try failed. On the kickoff, an offside call forced the Cards to re-kick and Willie Ponder burned them with a 95-yard return that made it 28-19. The Giants added a pair of fourth quarter TDs –including one on a 52-yard punt return by Chad Morton.

STILL THE BESTAs University of Phoenix Stadium began to take shape a few years back, awards and recognition came pouring in for the Cardinals new home. It was notably named by Business Week as one of the world’s top 10 sporting venues and its unique design and construction was featured on the Discovery Channel’s ‘Extreme Engineering’ show.

Since its opening, the stadium has sold every game and has continued to win a host of awards.

In 2007, Street & Smith’s Sportsbusiness Journal and Sports Business Daily presented the results from their third annual SBJ/SBD Readers Survey and University of Phoenix Stadium, which overtook Lambeau Field in 2006 for the top venue in the NFL, took home the honor for the second consecutive year.

The stadium received a considerable amount of recognition in 2007, including:� Selected as the best playing surface in Sporting News survey of the league’s players� Named as one of the seven wonders of Arizona by the Arizona Republic.� Architect Peter Eisenman was awarded “innovator” status by Popular Mechanics magazine� Named the #1 meeting venue in 2007 by the Phoenix Business Journal

GIANTS RETURN TO SITE OF SUPER BOWL XLII TRIUMPHThe Valley of the Sun and University of Phoenix Stadium hold fond memories for the Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII here last February. In the week leading up to the game, the team trained at the Cardinals training facility in Tempe.The Giants visit this Sunday will mark the 12th time a Super Bowl champ will return to the venue of their victory during the following regular season.

It marks the quickest return since Kurt Warner’s Rams team visited the Georgia Dome on 9/24/00 and beat the Falcons 41-20. The previous January, they defeated the Titans 23-16 to win Super Bowl XXIV.

In eight of the previous 11 return trips, the defending champion was victorious. However, the most recent Super Bowl champ to do so was not. Almost a year after defeating the Giants in Super Bowl XXXV at Raymond James Stadium, the Ravens lost to theBuccaneers on 12/29/01.Super Bowl Result Venue Return Visit ResultXLII (2/3/08) Giants 17, Patriots 14 University of Phoenix Stadium 11/23/08 ??XXXV (1/28/01) Ravens 34, Giants 7 Raymond James Stadium 12/29/01 L 10-22XXXIV (1/30/00) Rams 23, Titans 16 Georgia Dome 9/24/00 W 41-20XXXII (1/25/98) Broncos 31, Packers 24 Qualcomm Stadium 11/29/98 W 31-16XXX (1/28/96) Cowboys 27, Steelers 17 Sun Devil Stadium 12/8/96 W 10-6XXIX (1/29/95) 49ers 49, Chargers 26 Joe Robbie Stadium 11/20/95 W 44-20XXVI (1/26/92) Redskins 37, Bills 24 H.H.H.

CARDS/GIANTS WILL BE SELLOUT #27The Cardinals have played in front of a sellout crowd in every game at University of Phoenix Stadium, which opened its doors in 2006. In 18 seasons at Sun Devil Stadium there were only 12 games that sold out in time to be televised locally.

A sellout this week vs. the NY Giants will be the 27th

consecutive for the Cardinals and the fifth this season.

After going 3-5 at home during the 2006 regular season, the Cardinals posted a 6-2 record at home last season and are 4-0 this season. They have a 13-7 overall home record since the stadium opened. That includes the current seven-game home winning streak dating back to 2007.

The Cardinals are back on the road next week taking on the Philadelphia Eagles on Thanksgiving night before returning home on 12/7 to face the St. Louis Rams.

After returning home from Philadelphia and beginning with the Rams, the Cardinals have three of their final four games at University of Phoenix Stadium to close out the season.

HARD TO BEAT AT HOMEHaving won the last three home games of 2007 and first four this season, the Cardinals will be looking for their eighth consecutive home win this week vs. the Giants. The last time the Cardinals won eight consecutive home games was in 1925 when the Chicago Cardinals won nine straight against the Milwaukee Badgers, Columbus Tigers, Kansas City Cowboys,Chicago Bears, Duluth Kelleys, Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bisons, Dayton Triangles and Rock Island Independents

LAST WEEK’S GAMECARDINALS 26, Seahawks 20

November 16, 2008 – Qwest Field (67,616)

The Cardinals won in Seattle for the first time since ‘02 and notched their 3rd straight win with a 6-point decision. The victory improved Arizona to 7-3 and strengthened the team’s commanding lead in the NFC West. The Cards scored on 6 of their first 7 drives and held a 26-7 lead after 3 quarters. A pair of 4th quarter turnovers led to Seattle TDs that narrowed it to 26-20 but Arizona’s defense held the Seahawks on their final 2 offensive possessions to clinch the win. Kurt Warner became the first Cards QB to top 300 passing yards in 4 straight games while WRs Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald each caught 10+ passes and topped150 yards. Seattle was bolstered by the return of QB Matt Hasselbeck from a 5-week layoff (back); he completed 58% of his 29 passes for 170 yards and threw 3 INTs.

On the game’s opening drive Warner was 9-10 for 61 yards and put the Cards in position for a 38-yard Neil Rackers FG. The lead grew to 10-0 on the next possession when J.J. Arrington scored on a 4-yard run; the biggest play was a 45-yard catch-n-run by Boldin. The next AZ drive’s big play was a 33-yarder to Fitzgerald that set-up a 48-yard Rackets FG and 13-0 lead. Rookie Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie ended the next Seattle series with a diving INT and late in the 2nd, the Cards seemed in position to put the game away. However, Josh Wilson’s INT and 58-yard return set up a 13-yard Mo Morris TD catch that made it 13-7 with 0:56 left. Warner then guided AZ into position for a 54-yard Rackers FG as the half ended.

On the opening series of the 2nd half, Julius Jones fumbled and turned it over at the AZ33. A 44-yard Boldin catch took it to the SEA28 and that led to a 26-yard Rackers FG. After a Seattle punt, the Cards moved 82 yards in 10 plays and capped the drive with a 6-yard Warner-to-Arrington TD. Early in the 4th, Karlos Dansby appeared to end a Seattle drive deep in AZ territory with his goal-line INT but when he fumbled on the return, the Seahawks got another chance. They capitalized on a 1-yard T.J. Duckett run. On the 2nd play of the next drive Warner was sacked and fumbled, giving the ball back at the AZ14 and Duckett’s subsequent 2-yard TD run made it 26-20 with 9:41 left. An AZ punt gave the Seahawks the ball back with 5:38 left but the Cards send them 3-n-out. Seattle would get another chance when they took over at their own 28 with 2:05 left but on the 1st play, Rodgers-Cromartie again picked Hasselbeck to seal the game.

HALEY’S OFFENSE PUTTING UP POINTS Behind offensive coordinator Todd Haley, the Cardinals have the second-highest scoring offense in the NFL and the second rated offense overall. Under Haley’s guidance, quarterback KurtWarner, wide receivers Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgeraldand rookie running back Tim Hightower are all on pace to establish new franchise records Haley, who first took over a portion of the play-calling dutiesduring the 2007 season, had led the Cardinals offense to 20+ point performances in 10 consecutive games before being held to 17 points in Washington in week three. After scoring 26 points against the Seahawks, the Cardinals have now scored:� 30+ points in 10 of the last 18 games� 20+ points in 17 of the last 18 games

Arizona has now scored 289 points on the season, tied for the second-highest total in the NFL, trailing only this week’s opponent, the NY Giants (292).

The Cardinals’ 289 points through the first 10 games put them on pace to score 462 points for the season which would establish a new franchise record (423—1984). Arizona scored 404 points in 2007, the second-highest total in team history.

CARDS IN FIRST IN YEAR TWO UNDER WHISENHUNT

Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt has the Cardinals in first place in the NFC West with a 7-3 record, four games ahead of San Francisco (3-7) and five games ahead of both Seattle (2-8) and St. Louis (2-8).

Last week the Cardinals defeated the Seattle Seahawks 26-20 at Qwest Field. It was the Cardinals first win in Seattle since 2002, snapping a five-game losing streak on the road against the Seahawks, who have won four straight division titles.

The Cardinals can clinch the NFC West next week if three things happen: a win vs. NY Giants, a loss by the 49ers at Dallas and a loss or tie for the Seahawks vs. Washington. It would be the franchise’s first division title since winning the NFC East in 1975.

The team’s 7-3 record is its best through 10 games since the team started 7-3 in 1977.

The Cardinals victory over Seattle last week represents the first time since 1968 that the Cardinals have won all of their road games against division opponents in a single season. The Cardinals were members of the NFC Century division in 1968 and beat Cleveland, New Orleans and Pittsburgh all on the road.

With a 15-11 record in his first 26 games as head coach of the Cardinals, Whisenhunt has the best record of any Cardinals head coach at this point in his tenure since Norm Barry had a record of 16-8-2 through 26 games in 1925-26.

MVP THREE?Kurt Warner is a two-time NFL MVP, having won the awards in both 1999 and 2001 as a member of the St. Louis Rams.

Warner looked every bit the player he was during his MVP years as he led the Cardinals during the second half of last season. He has continued his high level of play in 2008 and he is among the league leaders in many of the league’s top passing categories. Only one player (Brett Favre) has won three league MVP titles.Below is a look at Warner’s stats through the first 10 games of this season compared to the first 10 of his MVP seasons.2008 (Cardinals)Att.

Warner is not just on pace to change the Cardinals record books either. At his current level of play, Warner could find a place in the NFL record books as well. With 3,155 passing yards, Warner is now on pace to throw for 5,048 yards in 2008. That would be the second-highest total in NFL history behind Dan Marino’s 1984 total of 5,084 yards. Warner is on pace for 432 completions which would be the second-highest total in NFL history behind Drew Brees (440, 2007) and is one pace to break Ken Anderson’s 1982 record for completions percentage (70.55). Warner currently has a 70.9 completion percentage on the season.

10,000 WITH TWO FRANCHISESWith 328 yards passing against the 49ers two weeks ago, Kurt Warner eclipsed passing yards as a member of the Cardinals. He became just the 11th quarterback in NFL history to reach 10,000 passing yards with two separate franchises.

300 COMES OFTEN FOR WARNERKurt Warner has collected his 44th through his 47th career 300-yard passing days in the last four weeks. He now has six 300-yard passing days in 2008 and is averaging 315.5 yards per game. His 47 career 300-yard games are the fifth most in NFL history.

With 103 games played, Warner has thrown for 300 yards in 45.6% of his games for his career, by far the highest percentage among all-time players with 100 games played (Dan Fouts in number two with 28.2%).

Warner now has 17 300-yard games as a member of the Cardinals, the second-highest total in franchise history behind Neil Lomax (19). Lomax played in 108 games over nine years (1981-89) with the Cardinals, while Warner has played in 39 games in Arizona.

Warner seems to be getting better as the season rolls on as he has now thrown for 300 yards in the last four games, becoming the only Cardinals QB in history to have four consecutive 300-yard games.

Warner, whose four 300-yard games currently rank as the third-best in NFL history, will be going for his fifth consecutive game this week vs. the Giants. If he reaches the mark, he will be tied with Joe Montana, Kerry Collins and Drew Brees for the second-longest streak in NFL history.

WARNER APPROACHING 40,000 PASSING YARDS AS A PROKurt Warner enters this week’s game in reach of a unique milestone.

He is 250 passing yards shy of 40,000 as a pro quarterback.

Warner passed for 10,486 yards in three seasons with the Arena Football League’s Iowa Barnstormers (1995-97) and 2,101 in his one season with the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe (1998).

And entering Sunday’s game vs. the Giants, he has amassed 27,163 passing yards in the NFL.

Here is a look at Warner’s passing numbers from his 15 collective seasons in professional football.

PASSING GAME HASN’T SLOWEDSince Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald have joined up, the Cardinals have had one of the most prolific passing games in the NFL over the last few years. Since 2005, the Cardinals passing attack has ranked no lower than 10th in the NFL. Arizona ranked first overall in 2005, 10th overall in 2006 and fifth overall in 2007.

With Boldin, Fitzgerald, QB Kurt Warner and now WR Steve Breaston leading the charge, the Cardinals offense has been one of the best in the NFL over the last two seasons under head coach Ken Whisenhunt and offensive coordinator Todd Haley. Since the beginning of the Whisenhunt’s tenure in 2007, the Cardinals have passed for a net total of 6,741 yards, second in the NFL behind New Orleans (7,245). The Cardinals have 51 TDs through the air in that time and 347 first downs. Below is a listing of where the Cardinals aereal attack ranks since the beginning of 2007.

The Cardinals have had 18 100-yard receiving games dating back to 2007, good for second in the NFL behind New England (22).

A TALE OF TWO TEAMSThe game this week between the Cardinals and the Giants will feature two teams whose offenses are very different but who nevertheless are two of the best in the league at what they do. It is safe to say that both defenses will have their hands full during the game.

The Cardinals, whose 289 points this season rank second in the NFL behind the Giants (292), move the ball mainly through the air. The Giants, who are the number one scoring offense in the NFL with three more points than the Cardinals, move the ball on the ground.

The Cardinals have the league’s second ranked offense, led by its second ranked passing attack. That attack is led by QB Kurt Warner and WRs Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston. Arizona averages 305.8 yards per game through the air (second-best in the league behind New Orleans, 319.7) and have 20 TDs through the air, second-best in the NFL behind San Diego (21).

The Giants have the league’s fourth ranked offense and top rated rushing attack, averaging 172.7 yards per game on the ground. Much like the Cardinals passing game, the Giants rushing game is led by the triple-headed attack of Brandon Jacobs, Derrick Ward and Ahmad Bradshaw. Those three backs have combined to rush for 1,711 yards, 13 TDs and all three average over five yards per carry.

The Cardinals have thrown for over 300 yards six times this season while the Giants have rushed for at least 200 yards five separate times. The Cardinals have thrown for at least 300 yards in the last four consecutive games while the Giants have rushed for at least 200 yards in the last three consecutive games.

The Cardinals defense has allowed just one 100-yard rusher on the season while the Giants defense has allowed just two 100-yard receivers.

TWO OF THE BEST MEET THIS WEEKThe matchup this week at University of Phoenix Stadium is a battle of two division leaders. The Cardinals, who are 7-3and hold a four game lead in the NFC West, take on the NY Giants, who have a 9-1 record and three game lead in the NFC East.

The Cardinals, one of the league’s best home teams with a 10-2 record dating back to 2007, face the Giants, one of the NFL’s best road teams over the same period with a 10-2record away from Giants Stadium.

WIRE-TO-WIRE ?Both the Cardinals and the Giants have either shared the division lead or held it outright every week of the 2008 season.

Arizona was tied with San Francisco after weeks 3 & 4 (at 2-1 and 2-2) but have been in first place in the NFC West every week since. The Giants were tied for first in the NFC East after weeks 1-3 but have held the lead by themselves ever since.

The Titans and Broncos have been alone atop their respective divisions all season and the Panthers have shared or led the NFC South throughout 2008.

If the Cardinals maintain the top spot in the division through the end of the season, it will mark just the third time in franchise history they have spent every week of the season in first place. In 1974, they were tied for the NFC East lead after weeks 1, 13, 14 and won division on a tie breaker over the Redskins. In 1947 when the team won its last championship, the Cards were tied for the lead in the division seven times - after weeks 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, and 12.

COME AS THEY MAYThe Cardinals have proven themselves effective at scoring in a multitude of ways. They are among the league’s most prolific scorers both on the ground and through the air, leading to a tie for the highest TD total in the league this season.

Total TDs—2008 Team Gms TD1. Arizona 10 342. NY Jets 10 343t. New Orleans 10 323t. NY Giants 10 325. Green Bay 10 31

Team Receiving TDs—2008 Team Gms TD1. San Diego 10 212. Arizona 10 203. Denver 10 19

The Cardinals are tied for seventh in the league in rushing TDs on the season with 11, led by rookie Tim Hightower who leads all NFL rookies with seven rushing TDs on the season.

The Cardinals also added TDs via a 93-yard kickoff return by J.J. Arrington and a blocked punt for a TD in overtime vs. Dallas (blocked by Sean Morey and returned by Monty Beisel) and Antrel Rolle’s 40-yard interception return for a TD last week.

In all, the Cardinals have six players—Boldin (10), Hightower (7), Fitzgerald (6), James (3), Arrington (3) and Urban (2)—with multiple TDs this season. There are three more players—Breaston, Beisel and Rolle—who each have one TD on the season.

CARDS OFFENSE TO BE TESTED AGAINThe Cardinals passing game has faced a couple of stiff tests so far this season, going up against Buffalo’s then-seventh ranked pass defense, the Cowboys star-filled defense and Carolina’s then second-ranked pass defense.

Arizona has come out of those games with a 2-1 record and combined 94 points, including Kurt Warner’s 74.4 completion percentage, 867 passing yards, six TDs and only two INTs. Arizona also played two of those games without star wide receiver Anquan Boldin.

This week will present another test for the Arizona passing attack as they go head-to-head against a Giants defense that is ranked second overall in the NFL and second against the pass. The Giants have held opponents under 200 yards passing in seven of their 10 games this season, including the last four consecutive games.

Below is a comparison between the Cardinals passing offense and Giants pass defense.

The Giants defense has kept opponents to a completion percentage under 60.0 in six of their 10 games, including four of the last five.

When the Cardinals faced the Panthers in week eight, Carolina had not allowed an opposing QB to throw for more than 240 yards and had not allowed a 100-yard receiver. They had allowed just two TD pass in the previous six games.

The Cardinals had success moving the ball on the Panthers defense as Warner threw for 381 yards and two TDs, both to Boldin. Larry Fitzgerald caught seven passes for 115 yards on the day, becoming the first and only receiver to go over 100 yards against the Panthers.

A LOOK BACK AT 2004The last Giants-Cardinals game in Arizona was just over four years ago. A look back to the Cardinals 11/14/04 matchup against the Giants illustrates just how much has changed since that game.

Starting at quarterback for the Giants was Kurt Warner, in his first season since leaving the Rams in 2003. Warner appeared in just nine games (seven starts) over his final two seasons in St. Louis and was signed by the Giants just prior to them acquiring Mississippi QB Eli Manning in a draft day trade with San Diego, who had selected him first overall in the 2004 NFL draft.

Warner began the season as the starting QB for the Giants and led the team to a 5-3 record. However, many saw it as matter of time before New York handed the reins of the offense to their young draft pick.

The Giants and Cardinals met in the ninth game of the season for both teams and it would be Warner’s final start in a Giants uniform. The Cardinals won the game 17-14 in Arizona as the Cardinals sacked Warner six times on the day, including three by DE Bertrand Berry. Manning was named the starter the following week.

Since that time, Warner has taken over the starting job for the Cardinals and has become one of the most prolific passers in the NFL since the midway point of last year. Warner has observers across the country mentioning his name atop the MVP list as he puts up passing stats like he did in his MVP seasons in St. Louis and has the Cardinals in first place in the NFC West.

MOVE THE BALL AND CONTROL THE CLOCKThe Cardinals and the Giants are the top two teams in the NFL when it comes to getting first downs. No team gets more of them than the Cardinals, who have totaled 228 first downs on the season so far.

The Cardinals lead the league in passing first downs (155) while the Giants are second behind Baltimore (93) with 92 first downs on the ground.

THREE ON PACE FOR 1,000The Cardinals have three receivers—Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston—who are all on pace to reach 1,000 yards receiving this season.

Last week vs. Seattle, Fitzgerald and Boldin became the third receiving duo in NFL history to each record 150-or-more yards and 10-or-more receptions in a game.

Below is a look at the 2008 stats for all three receivers and there projected totals at their current pace:

If all three receivers go on to reach 1,000 yards for the season, it would mark the fifth time in NFL history that a team had three receivers all reach 1,000 yards in a season.

The Cardinals are the only team in the NFL with three receivers who all have at least 600 receiving yards on the season, despite Boldin missing two games. There are only three NFL teams that have two receivers over 600 yards on the season (Denver, New England).

The Cardinals have a total of 11 100-yard receiving games on the season, the most in the NFL. Both Denver and Houston have six 100-yard receiving games while Philadelphia, New Orleans, New England and Atlanta have all collected five.

The last time the Cardinals had three different receivers with multiple 100-yard games was in 1995 when Rob Moore (3), Larry Centers (2) and Frank Sanders (2) each had multiple 100 accomplished the feat.

CARDS BUILT FOR SUCCESSBy nearly all accounts, the 2008 Cardinals roster is the most talented and deepest in recent memory and the team’s current 7-3record reflects that. That didn’t happen overnight but through a well-executed plan to build a quality football team that will be competitive for years to come.

Under the direction of General Manager Rod Graves, the Cardinals have assembled that talent in a number of different ways.

The most significant has been through the NFL Draft. “That’s really the lifeblood of any successful NFL team,” said Graves. “Our scouts and personnel department have done an outstanding job in identifying the types of players that will not only succeed at the NFL level but also excel in our particular system.” Recent drafts have not only produced Pro Bowlers in Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald, Adrian Wilson, and Darnell Dockett but also scores of other full-time starters and contributors. In all, 26 of the 53 players on the roster were acquired through the draft.

With rookie RB Tim Hightower and first round pick CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie both in the starting lineup, five of the seven ’08 draftees have received playing time this season, with a sixth on the 53-man roster.

Another area that has been instrumental in building the ’08 Cardinals is unrestricted free agency. “The big splash free agents get a lot of attention,” said Graves. “But I’m extremely proud of players that may have generated less fanfare when we signed them but have made significant contributions and filled important roles.” In that category a year ago were players like Mike Gandy, a full-time starter at left tackle, and cornerback Rod Hood, who not only started every game but counted two touchdowns among his career-high five interceptions. Arizona has seen similar success from this year’s free agents, including Travis LaBoy, who is tied for the team lead with 4.0 sacks through ten games, and Clark Haggans, 1.5 sacks in week 5 vs. Buffalo and made the game-saving stop two weeks ago vs. San Francisco.

According to Graves, University of Phoenix Stadium is also a major factor in the team’s ability to build a championship-caliber team. “There’s no question that the stadium has delivered everything that the team had hoped for,” Graves said. “Since the start of 2007, we’re 10-2 at home and a big part of that success can be attributed to the home field advantage that’s been created by a sold out stadium and a large, passionate fan base. It’s also provided the revenue streams that we were lacking previously and give us the chance to compete aggressively with the other teams in the league.”

Arizona’s 8-8 mark in ’07 and 7-3 record so far is a good indication that the Cardinals plan is working. The next step is a successful ’08 campaign that extends into 2009.

BOLDIN IN THE BACKFIELDAs a wide receiver, Anquan Boldin’s biggest strength has always been his ability to run with the ball after the catch, running through and around defenders.

With that being the case, the Cardinals have a few packages designed to get Boldin the ball in the backfield instead of 20 yards downfield. Since returning from his head injury, the sixth-year pro has rushed seven times for 60 yards over the last four games. Against Carolina in his first game back, Boldin ran for a career-long 30 yards on a reverse play.

Running the ball is nothing new for Boldin. Coming into the season, he had rushed 24 times for 130 yards in his first five seasons. Before this season, his career-long run was 23 yards.

Below is a look at Boldin’s rushing statistics on a season-to-season basis:

2008: 7 attempts, 60 yards, long of 302007: 1 attempt, 14 yards2006: 5 attempts, 28 yards, long of 182005: 12 attempts, 24 yards, long of 112004: 1 attempt, 3 yards

Boldin has also attempted two passes in his career—an incompletion at Dallas (10/30/05) and an interception vs. San Francisco (10/26/03).

JAMES ON ALL-TIME LISTCurrently 13th on the NFL’s all-time rushing list, EdgerrinJames could move up a few more spots this season. With 11,992 yards on the ground after rushing for 385 yards in the first 10 games, James needs 252 yards to pass Marcus Allen, who currently sits in 10th place.

With another 83 yards, James will pass Bills great Thurman Thomas for 12th place on the rushing list and be 45 yards behind Franco Harris for 11th.

TRIPLE THREATCardinals fourth-year running back J.J. Arrington scored on a four-yard run and a six-yard reception in Seattle last week, giving him two TDs in a game for the first time in his career. Arrington’s four-yard TD run was his first rushing TD since 11/20/05 at St. Louis.

This season, Arrington has shown that he knows how to get into the endzone in many different ways.

With his two TD performance in Seattle, he became just the fourth NFL player this season to record a touchdown three separate ways. Arrington now has a TD rushing, receiving and on a 95-yard kickoff return.

CLOSING IN ON A RECORDTim Hightower scored his seventh rushing TD of the season in St. Louis and got one TD closer to tying Ronald Moore’sfranchise rookie record of nine, established in 1993.

Hightower’s seven rushing TDs on the season are the most rushing TDs by a Cardinals rookie since Moore had nine in 1993. Hightower’s TD total is also the best among all NFL rookie rushers.

FITZGERALD CLOSE TO MILESTONESLarry Fitzgerald needs just 61 yards receiving this week to record his third-career 1,000-yard season and become the fourth-youngest receiver (25 years and 119 days) in NFL history with three 1,000-yard seasons. Only Randy Moss (23 years; 315 days), John Jefferson (24 years; 323 days) and George Sauer (25 years; 35 days) will have recorded three 1,000-yard seasons at a younger age than Fitzgerald.

Fitzgerald is currently second in the NFL with 939 receiving yards on the season, trailing only Houston’s Andre Johnson (955).

Fitzgerald would join Roy Green (1979-90) and Anquan Boldinas the only receivers in franchise history with three 1,000-yard seasons.

Fitzgerald also needs just three receptions this week vs. New York to become the youngest receiver in NFL history (25 years; 119 days) to reach 400 for his career. If he reaches 400 receptions this week in his 71st career game, he will do so fewer games than any receiver in NFL history outside of teammate Anquan Boldin, who accomplished the feat in 2007 in his 67th

career game.

DID YOU KNOW? The Cardinals have given up 18 sacks on the season with 12 coming in the first four games. Arizona has allowed just six sacks over the last six games.

The Cardinals have scored 352 points in their 12 home games since the beginning of last season. Their 29.3 points-per-game average is the second-highest total in the NFL. Only New England (29.9) averages more points per game at home.

The Cardinals have scored 30+ points in five of their last six home games (scored 29 vs. San Francisco) and in seven of their last nine games overall.

Dating back to the final game of last season, a 48-19 victory over the St. Louis Rams, the Cardinals have outscored their opponents 179-92 in the last five home games, a margin of victory of 17.4points per game.

The Cardinals had three interceptions through the first seven games and have seven in their last three games.

Against their four NFC West opponents this season, the Cardinals hold a plus-12 advantage in turnovers.

Larry Fitzgerald’s first career 100-yard receiving game came against the NY Giants in the last meeting between the two teams (9/11/05) when he caught 13 passes for 155 yards and a TD. It was the first game of Fitzgerald’s second season and his 13 receptions remain a career-high.

The Cardinals have four players on their team (Rackers-83, Boldin-60, Hightower-42 and Fitzgerald-36) who have scored more than 35 points this season.

Along with Anquan Boldin, who already has 10 TDs, the Cardinals have two other players—Tim Hightower (7) and Larry Fitzgerald (6)—who are on pace to score 10 TDs on the season. If all three players reach 10 TDs, it will mark the first time in franchise history that the team has had three players with double-figure TDs on the season.

WHERE THEY RANKThe Cardinals have the NFL’s second-rated offense and second rated passing offense this season. The Cardinals are averaging 392.7 yards-per-game and 305.8 yards-per-game through the air. Individually, the Cardinals have numerous players who rank among the best in the NFL in their respective positions.

Cardinals receivers have combined for 11 100-yard receiving games (Larry Fitzgerald-5; Steve Breaston-3, Anquan Boldin-3), the highest total in the NFL so far this season. Boldin, Fitzgerald and Breaston have combined for 177 receptions, 2,373 yards and 17 touchdowns this season, despite the fact that Boldin missed two games due to a head injury.

Cardinals receivers have combined for 20 total TDs in 2008, the second-best total in the NFL (San Diego—21). Along with Pro Bowl receivers Boldin and Fitzgerald, Breaston has added 48 receptions for 642 yards on the season and all three are now on pace for 1,000-yard receiving seasons.

BREASTON CONTINUES TOWARDS 1,000In the first 19 games of Steve Breaston’s career he had a total of 12 receptions for 164 yards. In the last seven games, starting with week four against the Jets, Breaston has piled up 44 receptions for 567 yards and his first career touchdown.

Breaston had the third 100-yard receiving game of his career on Monday Night against San Francisco when he led the team with 121 receiving yards on seven receptions. It was his third 100-yard game in his last seven games.

Against Dallas, Breaston had his second 100-yard receiving game of the season and caught the go-ahead TD pass in the fourth quarter, an 11-yard TD pass from Kurt Warner that gave the Cardinals a 21-14 lead.

With 48 receptions for 642 yards on the season, Breaston is on pace for 76 receptions and 1,027 yards for the season, even though he had just four receptions for 52 yards through the first three games of the season.

If Breaston were to reach 1,000 yards on the season, he would be the first Cardinals receiver other than Boldin or Fitzgerald to reach 1,000 yards since David Boston had 1,598 yards in 2001.

LEINART LEARNING FROM WARNERMatt Leinart has been Arizona’s #2 quarterback in all 10 games this season. His only action came in week two vs. Miami when he came in late in the game and completed oneof two passes for 15 yards.

After dislocating his shoulder in the fifth game of the 2007 season, backup Kurt Warner filled in and had a strong run as the Cardinals quarterback. After an open competition in training camp, Warner was named the starter after the final preseason game and has put up MVP-like numbers.

Leinart is taking it as a chance to learn from one of the game’s best.

“Kurt, mentally, is so far ahead of anyone,” Leinart said of his mentor. “He’s so far ahead of the game. Obviously, I want to play. I want to play right now. I want to play next year, but right now we are winning, and right now we are doing well, and right now I’m learning to be a better quarterback.”

Head coach Ken Whisenhunt sees a lot in his young QB and is confident in his ability and his future with the team.

“He has started 16 games in this league,” Whisenhunt said of his young QB. “That is not a lot of games for a young quarterback. I am very excited about the progress he has made and his future with the organization.”

In his rookie season, Leinart showed the promise that made him the 10th overall selection in 2006. After taking over as the starter in place of Kurt Warner in the sixth week of the season, he threw for 2,547 yards, 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. As a rookie starter, Leinart:

BOLDIN’S INCREDIBLE RETURNPro Bowl receiver Anquan Boldin returned to the Cardinals lineup in Carolina after missing two games due to a head injury that included sinus and jaw fractures.

Boldin hasn’t missed a beat since coming back. In the last month, Boldin has collected 35 receptions for 426 yards and five TDs. He has become an option for the Cardinals out of the backfield as well with seven rushes for 60 yards over the last four games.

Below is a look at Boldin’s stats in his four games since returning from his injury:

Boldin was on the receiving end of an illegal and vicious helmet-to-helmet hit in the closing seconds of the Cardinals week four game in New York that drew a one-game suspension and $50,000 fine for Jets safety Eric Smith. Boldin had eight plates installed to fix two facial fractures and wiring inserted to align his bite.

In returning so quickly and so effectively, Boldin has again showed why he is considered one of the toughest players in the league, a sentiment that safety Adrian Wilson, one of the league’s most feared defenders, expressed after the injury.

“He is by far the toughest person I know,” Wilson said. “I’ve been here eight years, and he is the toughest player that I have ever played with.”

BOLDIN AND FITZGERALD FIND ANOTHER WAY INTO THE RECORD BOOKSAgainst Seattle last week, the Pro Bowl receiving tandem of Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald found another way to enter the franchise and NFL record books. They became the first teammates in franchise history to each reach 150+ yards receiving in the same game.

The duo became just the third set of receivers in NFL history to each have 10-or-more receptions and 150-or-more yards in the same game.

The game in Seattle also marked the eighth time (third time in 2008) that Boldin and Fitzgerald have both gone over 100 yards in the same game. Dating back to 1960, only Jacksonville’s Keenan McCardell and Jimmy Smith (9) went over 100 yards more times than Fitzgerald and Boldin.

With their performances Sunday, Fitzgerald and Boldin are now ranked first and second in the NFC in receptions and first and fifth in receiving yards.

The 186 yards for Boldin represent the second-highest receiving total of his NFL career, second only to the 217 yards receiving he piled up in his first career NFL game on 9/7/03 at Detroit. The 13 receptions tie the second-highest total of his career, matching his total from 12/23/07 vs. Atlanta and trailing only the 14 receptions he hauled in at Baltimore on 9/23/07.

Boldin’s 186 receiving yards are also a single-game NFL-high this season.

WORKING TOWARDS THE 20/20 CLUBAdrian Wilson’s goal this season is to join an elite club among NFL defenders. The Pro Bowl safety wants to join the 20/20 club and become the ninth person in NFL history with 20 interceptions and 20 touchdowns.

That goal is becoming more and more of a reality with each passing game. Wilson has had a three game stretch that has seen him collect two sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception.

That includes last week’s performance in Seattle, maybe his best of the season. In the game, Wilson led all defensive backs with seven tackles and added a sack, a forced fumble and a pass defensed.

Currently, Wilson has 18 INT and 18 sacks with two INTs and two sacks this season.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR THIS WEEK�With a win this week the Cardinals can clinch the NFC West if three things happen: a win vs. NY Giants, a loss by the 49ers at Dallas and a loss or tie for the Seahawks vs. Washington. It would be the franchise’s first division title since winning the NFC East in 1975.

�A win this week would give the Cardinals an 8-3 record. The last time the Cardinals started the season 8-3 was 1976 when the team finished the season 10-4.

�A win this week would give the Cardinals eight straight homewins for the first time since 1925 when they won nine straight games as the Chicago Cardinals.

�A win this week would give the Cardinals four consecutive wins in one season since 1999. The last time the Cardinals won four consecutive games overall was 2007-08 when they won the final two games of 2007 and the first two games this season.

�A win this week would give head coach Ken Whisenhunt a16-11 record through 27 games. That would be the most wins for any Cardinals head coach in franchise history over their first 27 games.

�Larry Fitzgerald needs just three receptions to reach 400 for his career. If he does so this week, in his 71st career game, he will be the second fastest receiver in NFL history to reach the mark (Anquan Boldin, 67).

�Fitzgerald needs 61 yards receiving this week to reach 1,000 yards on the season and join Anquan Boldin and Roy Green (1979-90) as the only receivers in franchise history with three 1,000-yard seasons.

�With 300 yards passing this week, Kurt Warner would have five consecutive 300-yard passing games, tying the second-longest streak in NFL history (record in six, held by Warner, Steve Young and Rich Gannon).

�With a TD pass this week, Warner would have at least one in 19 consecutive games, tying the franchise record currently held by Neil Lomax (1983-84).

�With 263 passing yards, Warner would have 3,418 passing yards on the season, surpassing his 2007 total of 3,417 yards which is currently the fifth-highest total in franchise history.

�Anquan Boldin needs two TD receptions to reach 12 for the season and tie Roy Green, Sonny Randle and Bob Shaw for the third-most TD receptions in a season in franchise history. Sonny Randle (16) holds the franchise record.

�Tim Hightower needs two rushing TDs to tie Ronald Moore’s 1993 rookie record of nine rushing TDs in a season.

�With 100 yards receiving this week, Steve Breaston would have four 100-yard games on the season and four in his last eight games.

DRC STEALS TWORookie first round draft pick CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie got his first two interceptions of the season last week in Seattle in his second start at cornerback.

It was Rodgers-Cromartie’s fifth start of the season but his first three starts came as the extra defensive back when the Cardinals opened the game in their nickel formation.

Rodgers-Cromartie hauled in his first career interception when he picked off a Matt Hasselbeck pass in the second quarter.

The rookie then sealed the Cardinals 26-20 victory when he stepped in front of Hasselbeck’s first down pass with under two minutes left in the game. In doing so, he became the first Cardinals rookie since Aeneas Williams in 1991 (12/15 @ Denver) to have two interceptions in a game.

Although he has started in only five games, Rodgers-Cromertie has been receiving significant playing time this season and is tied for the team lead with 13 passes defensed this season. His speed and athleticism has been used all over the field this season. He has appeared as a wide receiver on offense and is member of the special teams unit with five special teams tackles on the season.

3-0The Cardinals record this season in games decided by six points or fewer, including the last two home games. The

Cardinals were 4-4 in games decided by six points or less last season.

15-11Ken Whisenhunt’s record in his first 26 games as head coach of the Cardinals, the best record of any Cardinals

head coach at this point in his tenure since Norm Barry had a record of 16-8-2 through 26 games in 1925-26.

ROLLE KNOWS WAY TO THE END ZONEFS Antrel Rolle’s 40-yard interception return for a TD vs. St. Louis in week nine was his first interception since moving to safety this season and he again showed his knack for finding the endzone.

Rolle has proven himself lethal once he gets the ball in his hands. Of his eight career interceptions, Rolle has returned four for TDs, with a fifth called back due to an erroneous penalty on the return.

Of the 104 players in NFL history with at least four interception returns for touchdowns, Rolle’s 50% return rate is by far the best in history. The next best percentage is Darren Smith (1993-2004) who returned four of his 11 interceptions for a TD, a return percentage of 36.4.

There have been only 26 players in history that have a return percentage over 20.0 and four with a return percentage over 30.0.

Rolle’s 40-yard TD at St. Louis is the shortest of his four returns, with the others covering 55, 54 and 57 yards. He has piled up 323 return yards on his eight interceptions, an average of 40.4 yards per return. Last season in Cincinnati, Rolle had three interceptions, two of which he returned for TDs. The third he returned for TD, which would have set a new NFL record, but it was called back due to the erroneous call, wiping away the potential record-setting return.

RACKING UP POINTSRackers connected on all four of his field goal attempts in Seattle, converting from 38, 48, 54 and 26 yards. Rackers has now hit on 13 consecutive field goals, the longest streak since he connected on 31 straight in 2005. His 13 consecutive field goals represent the second longest streak in franchise history, trailing only his 2005 mark.

Game 2CARDINALS 31, Dolphins 10

September 14, 2008 – University of Phoenix Stadium (63,445)

In their home opener, the Cardinals offense rolled up 445 total yards and 31 points on the Dolphins en route to a 21-point victory and their first 2-0 start since 1991. QB Kurt Warner passed for 361 yards and 3 TDs. All 3 went to WR Anquan Boldin who finished with 6 catches for 140 yards and his first career 3-TD day. Fellow WR Larry Fitzgerald was 6-153 and the duo eclipsed the century mark in the same game for the 6th time. Boldin’s 22nd career 100-yard game tied him with Jackie Smith for the most in franchise history. Warner finished with a perfect passer rating of 158.3, becoming the first Cardinal QB with a perfect rating since Jim Hart on 11/23/75 vs. NYJ. It was Warner’s third career “perfect game” tying him with Peyton Manning for most in NFL history. Warner’s first pass of the day set the tone for a big day. After a delay penalty and another for illegal formation, the Cards’ 1st down play saw Warner throw it deep down the middle for Boldin, who continued on for a career-long 79-yard score. On Arizona’s next drive, the QB connected with Fitzgerald on a 75-yard pass to the 4 and 3 plays later, Warner hit Boldin with a 3-yard TD toss. While Miami’s first 4 drives ended with punts, Arizona’s produced points as Neil Rackers put the Cards up 17-0 with a 45-yard FG midway thru the 2nd quarter. On the opening series of the 2nd half, Arizona was aided by 3 Miami penalties that kept the drive alive and rookie Tim Hightower capped it with a 1-yard TD run that put AZ up 24-0. Hightower became the first player in team history with TD runs in each of his first two games. The Dolphins got on the board with a 32-yard Dan Carpenter FG but the Cards answered right back. They moved 80 yards in 8 plays as Warner and Boldin connected again, this time on an 8-yard hook-up. Only a Ronnie Brown 1-yard run with 2:38 left made the final 31-10. Both squads pulled their starting QBs as Chad Henne replaced Chad Pennington with 9:42 to play and Matt Leinart came in for Warner for the final series. Edgerrin James reached a career milestone on the opening drive of the 3rd quarter when he became just the 14th player in NFL history to eclipse 15,000 total yards from scrimmage.

Game 1CARDINALS 23, 49ers 13

September 7, 2008 – Candlestick Park (67,186)

The Cardinals opened the season with a 10-point victory at San Fran. It was the team’s first week one road win since 1999. Combined with Seattle & St. Louis losses it also gave Arizona sole possession of first place in the NFC West. Keys to the victory were a 5-0 edge in takeaways and a time of possession advantage in the second half of 22:38 to 7:22. Anquan Boldin led all receivers by catching 8 passes from Kurt Warner for 82 yards (all in the 2nd half) and Eggerrin James gained 100 yards on 26 carries. Defensively, veteran newcomer Travis LaBoy notched 2.0 sacks of J.T. O’Sullivan and a forced fumble on one. The Cardinals opening drive reached the SF 7 before a 25-yard Neil Rackers FG gave them an early lead. On the 2nd play of the next series, FB Zak Keasey caught a pass from O’Sullivan but DT Darnell Dockett forced a fumble that LB Karlos Dansby recovered at the SF 11. The drive reached the 2 but a personal foul on LT Mike Gandy backed it up and Rackers missed from 35. The Niners then moved quickly into AZ territory and Frank Gore put San Fran ahead with a 41-yard TD run. The next San Fran drive ended when SS Adrian Wilson INT’d O’Sullivan and returned the pick to the SF 33 but the Cards were forced to punt. Early in the 2nd quarter, AZ faced a 3rd-n-7 when Warner hit WR Steve Breaston with a 40-yard completion to the 1. On the next play he lofted a ball to the corner that Larry Fitzgerald snared for a TD. The next SF drive again ended with a turnover when Bertrand Berry stripped O’Sullivan and Antonio Smith recovered but the ensuing drive ended with a punt. The Niners then tied it late in the 2nd on a 39-yard Joe Nedney FG. Despite a 3-0 edge in takeaways and a decisive AZ advantage in field position, the game was tied 10-10 at the half. Because they deferred on the opening coin flip, AZ got the ball to start the 3rd quarter. Thanks to a pass heavy attack (including 3-47 to Boldin) the Cards took the lead on a 31-yard Rackers FG. Rackers then pooched the kickoff to the SF 33 where LB Takeo Spikes muffed it and Matt Ware recovered. The drive penetrated the red zone and on a 3rd-n-4 pass from the 5, Warner’s completion to Breaston was originally spotted at the 2 but a Cardinal challenge moved it inside the 1, though still shy of a first. On 4th-n-inches, rookie RB Tim Hightower scored his 1st career TD and gave AZ a 20-10 lead. As a result of the 2 drives, AZ was able to chew up 11:03 before the Niners offense re-took the field. When they did, SF moved 60 yards in 13 plays and Nedney hit a 30-yard FG that made it 20-13 with 12:05 to play. That’s when the Cardinals were able to put the game out of reach with a sustained 18-play drive that consumed 10:08 and ended with a 30-yard Rackers FG. San Fran’s next play from scrimmage saw LaBoy pull the hat trick on O’Sullivan with a sack, forced fumble and recovery.

Game 3Redskins 24, CARDINALS 17

September 21, 2008 – Fed Ex Field (90,060)

The Cardinals suffered their first defeat and fell to 2-1 with a 7-point loss at Washington. The Redskins produced 10 points off Arizona’s first two turnovers of the season and the Cardinals snapped their streak of 10-straight games scoring 20+ points. The Redskins opened the game with an 11-play, 60-yard drive that ended with a 3-yard Clinton Portis TD run that gave the hosts an early 7-0 lead. On the first play of the 2nd quarter, Edgerrin James fumbled and Carlos Rodgers recovered at the AZ 34. That turnover – Arizona’s first of the season – led to a 48-yard Shaun Suisham FG and 10-0 Redskin lead. Later in the quarter, the Cards embarked upon an 11-play, 84-yard drive and Kurt Warner capped it with a 4-yard TD pass to Anquan Boldin. The TD came one play after an 18-yard pass from WR Jerheme Urban to RB Hightower took it to the 4. That TD made it 10-7 at the half and the Cards opened the 3rd quarter with a 15-play, 72-yard drive to the 9 and tied the game with a 26-yard Neil Rackers FG. Washington responded with its own long drive on the ensuing possession (11 plays, 80 yards) and took a 17-10 lead when Jason Campbell connected on a 2-yard scoring pass with TE Todd Yoder. On the 3rd play of the next drive Warner went deep down the middle to Larry Fitzgerald who hauled it in for a 62-yard game-tying TD. When the Cards got the ball back after a Redskin punt, Warner went deep down the middle again, this time looking for WR Steve Breaston. However, Leigh Torrence tipped the ball away at the last second. Rodgers grabbed the deflection and returned the INT 42 yards to the AZ15. Two plays later, Campbell hit Santana Moss on a screen pass that resulted in a 17-yard scoring pass and a 24-17 lead with 12:10 to go. After an Arizona punt, the Redskins appeared to go up 2 TDs on a 68-yard Campbell pass to Devin Thomas but the play was negated by tackle Stephon Hayer’s personal foul. That drive ended when Suisham’s 52-yard FG try was no good and the Cards took over at their own 42 with 3:23 to go. Facing a 4th-n-4 at the AZ48 with 2:46 to go, Arizona opted to punt and hope for a stop. Instead the Redskins picked up the necessary first downs to salt away the remaining time.

Game 4Jets 56, CARDINALS 35

September 28, 2008 – Giants Stadium (78,222)

The Cardinals fell to 2-2 following a wild 56-35 road loss at the Jets that saw the hosts explode for 34 points in a nightmare 2nd quarter for Arizona. The Cards then responded with 21 straight in the 3rd to close the gap to 13 points. They never got closer though as Brett Favre threw 3 of his career-best 6 TD passes in the 4th to ensure the win. The game ended with a frightening moment when Anquan Boldin absorbed a vicious hit from Eric Smith at the goal line. He left the field on a stretcher and was taken to the hospital but he was ultimately OK. Arizona missed 2 big chances on its opening drives of the game. After reaching the NYG9, a Warner sack & fumble pushed it back to the 32 and on the next play, a Boldin fumble was returned by Hank Poteat to the NY43. Three plays later, LB Chike Okeafor killed the threat when he INT’d Favre and took it to the NY16. That led to a 37-yard FG try by Neil Rackers that was blocked by DT Kris Jenkins. The Jets took over at midfield and 2 plays into the 2nd quarter Favre hit Laveranues Coles with a 12-yard TD. On the next drive, Darrelle Revis picked off Warner’s 3rd-n-8 pass and returned it 32 yards for a TD. The Jets extended the lead to 21-0 with a 34-yard Favre-Coles connection on the next series. The first play of the ensuing drive saw Warner INT’d again, this time by Eric Smith who returned it to the AZ 19 and that led to a 20-yard Jay Feely FG. The spiral continued on the next AZ drive when LB Calvin Pace sacked Warner forcing a fumble that the Jets recovered at the NYJ40. It set up the 3rd Coles TD catch (2 yards). A Warner fumble on the next play from scrimmage gave the Jets time for a 30-yard FG and a 34-0 lead as the devastating 2nd quarter ended. Arizona fought back in the 3rd with 3 long drives that ended with short TD runs set up by Warner passing. Edgerrin James scored on rushes of 4 & 2 yards and after a successful on-side kick, Tim Hightower’s 1-yard run made it 34-21 late in the 3rd. The Jets responded by going 80 yards in 12 plays and Favre threw the first of 2 TD passes to Jerricho Cotchery. AZ again cut it to 13 with 9:49 to play on an 8-yard Warner-to-Boldin TD. With 7:33 to go the Jets went for it on 4th-n-1 at the AZ 40 and Favre delivered with a 40-yard TD pass to Corchery. The no-huddle Cards quickly narrowed it to 13 again on a 14-yard Jerheme Urban TD catch. AZ’s final hopes were dashed by another Favre TD pass with 1:54 left.

Game 5CARDINALS 41, Bills 17

October 5, 2008 – University of Phoenix Stadium (63,830)

The Cardinals rebounded from a pair of tough east coast road losses to score a decisive home win over the unbeaten Bills. Arizona improved to 3-2 and remained in sole possession of 1st place in the NFC West. Buffalo entered the game at 4-0 but turned it over 4 times and suffered 5 sacks while AZ played a sack-free/turnover-free game. Kurt Warner bounced back from a rough outing at the Jets to complete 78.5% of his passes to 9 different receivers. Playing without all-pro WR Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald caught a pair of TDs while rookie RB Tim Hightower added 2 on the ground. The Bills lost starting QB Trent Edwards (concussion) on the game’s 1st drive and back-up J.P. Losman played the rest. AZ opened the game by scoring TDs on its first 3 drives possessions and scored points on 7 of its first 8. On the game’s 3rd play, SS Adrian Wilson came untouched on a blitz off the right side and delivered a punishing blow to Edwards. Two plays later, DE Antonio Smith blew up a backfield handoff between Losman and Marshawn Lynch and recovered the fumble himself at the BUF38. That led to a 2-yard Warner-Fitzgerald TD. Arizona’s next drive went 80 yards in 8 plays and ended on Hightower’s 17-yard scoring run that made it 14-0. Buffalo cut it to 14-7 when Losman hit Lee Evans with an 87-yard scoring pass. The Cards responded with another long TD drive (12-78) and ended this one on Edgerrin James’ 1-yard run. Late in the 1st half, Losman scored on a 2-yard TD run with 1:46 to go to make it 21-14 but Warner & Co. marched into position for a 47-yard Neil Rackers FG as the 1st half expired. Buffalo produced a 48-yard Rian Lindell FG on its first drive after intermission to make it 24-17. The Cards then went 78 yards in 13 plays on a drive aided by several key conversions by J.J. Arrington on 3rd-n-long. The drive appeared to end when Rackers hit a 28-yard FG but a Buffalo offside penalty gave AZ a 1st down. They capitalized with a 2-yard Warner-Fitzgerald TD 2 plays later. The first play of the next drive saw Gerald Hayes force a fumble by TE Robert Royal and Darnell Dockett returned it to the BUF34. When Rackers knocked a 38-yard FG in off the upright 4 plays later, AZ led by 3 scores early in the 4th. The Cards then put the final nail in the coffin when DT Gabe Watson sacked Losman forcing a fumble that Hayes recovered at the BUF19. That led to Hightower’s 2-yard TD run which made it a 41-17 final.

Game 6CARDINALS 30, Cowboys 24 (OT)

October 12, 2008 – University of Phoenix Stadium (64,389)

In one of the most thrilling games in recent memory, the Cardinals improved to 4-2 and won their 6th straight home game as Arizona became the first team in NFL history to score TDs on the first and last plays of a game. After J.J. Arrington returned the opening kickoff 93 yards for a TD, the first half failed to produce the shootout that many had anticipated in this match-up of top 5 offenses. Dallas’ 2nd drive appeared to end when Darnell Dockett sacked Tony Romo forcing a fumble that AZ recovered but referee Pete Morelli ruled forward progress had been stopped. Two drives later, with 4:04 to play in the 2nd, AZ appeared to go up 14-0 when Dockett sacked Romo in the end zone forcing a fumble that Antonio Smith recovered for a TD. However, Dallas challenged and Morelli negated the score based on the infamous “tuck rule” that instead made it an incomplete pass. The Cowboys capitalized 5 plays later on a 55-yard TD pass to Patrick Crayton. When the ensuing pooch kickoff was muffed, the Cowboys recovered at the AZ27 with 0:56 left poised to take the halftime lead. But the AZ defense produced a 3-n-out and Nick Folk’s 37-yard FG try clanged off the upright. On the opening series of the 3rd quarter, Dallas took a 14-7 lead with a 14-yard TD pass to Miles Austin. AZ responded with a long drive of its own (11-60) and tied the game at 14 on a 2-yard scoring pass from Warner to Larry. The Cards then tried a surprise on-side kick but the Cowboys recovered at the AZ46. On 3rd-n-9 at the AZ 31, a bad snap pushed Dallas back to the 47, forcing a punt. Fitzgerald then came up with another huge play when he outleapt everyone on a 39-yard jump ball that moved from the AZ23 to the DAL38. That led to an 11-yard TD pass to Steve Breaston. After a Dallas 3-n-out, the Cards went up 10 with 3:17 to play thanks to Neil Rackers’ 41-yard FG. Dallas did not go away. Romo hit Marion Barber with a short pass in the flat that turned into a 70-yard TD play. The Cards went 3-n-out giving Dallas the ball back at its own 32 with :50 left. In the closing seconds, Romo hit Jason Witten for a 30-yard gain to the AZ39 and killed the clock with :04 left. Cards DE Travis LaBoy was injured on the play and when he couldn’t get to the line of scrimmage a 5-yard offside penalty was added. Folk then connected on a 52-yarder that forced OT. Dallas won the toss and started OT at its own 22. Chike Okeafor sacked Romo on 1st down and after 2 incompletions the Cowboys lined up to punt from their own 11. Special teams captain Sean Morey then burst thru the middle and blocked Mat McBriar’s punt that Monty Beisel returned 3 yards for a TD.

Game 7Panthers 27, CARDINALS 23

October 26, 2008 – Bank of America Stadium (72,010)

Arizona faced a formidable test at Carolina against a 5-2 Panther team that was 4-0 at home and boasted the NFL’s 5th-ranked defense (#2 vs. the pass). Thanks mostly to a potent passing attack led by Kurt Warner and bolstered by the return of WR Anquan Boldin, the Cardinals led by 14 early in the 3rd quarter. However a pair of turnovers and two Panther TDs within a minute in the 3rd quarter enabled the Panthers to emerge with the win. The Cards fell to 4-3 but maintained a 2-game division lead when the 49ers & Rams both lost. Boldin caught 9 passes for 63 yards a 2 TDs in his first action since suffering a head injury on a vicious hit at the Jets that caused him to miss 2 games. Fellow WR Larry Fitzgerald had 115 yards on 7 catches and Steve Breaston was 9-91 receiving in the loss. On Arizona’s first drive of the game, a 30-yard Boldin run on a reverse set up a 21-yard Neil Rackers FG. Early in the 2nd, LB Karlos Dansby set the offense up at the CAR 5 when he sacked Jake Delhomme, forcing a fumble that Dansby recovered. On the next play, Warner hit Boldin with a 5-yard TD pass. After punting on its first 3 series (including two 3-n-outs) Carolina proceeded to move downfield on the fourth. On 1st-n-goal at the 4, WR Muhsin Muhammad dropped a sure TD pass and the Panthers instead settled for a John Kasay FG. Late in the 2nd quarter AZ looked poised to add more points when Rackers lined up for a FG on 4th-n-15 at the CAR 21. Instead the Cards tried a fake FG but holder Dirk Johnson’s completion to TE Jerame Tuman gained just 10 yards. AZ opened the 2nd half by moving 64 yards in 8 plays and capped the drive with a 2-yard Tim Hightower TD run that put the Cards up 17-3. Carolina responded with its own long drive that ended with a 15-yard TD run by Williams. On the 2nd play of the next drive Edgerrin James fumbled, turning it over at the AZ18. The Panthers capitalized on the next snap when Jake Delhomme hit Steve Smith on an 18-yard TD pass that knotted the score at 17. Arizona re-took the lead late in the 3rd when Boldin’s 2nd TD reception of the day (2 yards) capped an 11-play, 78-yard drive that made it 23-17 after the PAT snap was mishandled. Carolina struck quickly again when Delhomme threw a short pass to Smith that he took 65 yards down the left sideline. Smith appeared to step out of bounds near midfield and the Cards challenged but referee Walt Coleman refused to overturn the original call. Now down 1, Arizona moved to the Carolina 15 but Warner’s 2nd-n-3 pass bounced off J.J. Arrington’s hands and was picked off by LB Jon Beason. He returned the INT to the Carolina 49 and that set up a 50-yard Kasay FG that gave the Panthers a 4-point lead. Arizona’s next drive stalled near midfield and resulted in a punt. Taking over at their own 20 with 5:57 to play, the Panthers picked up three 3rd downs that enabled them to run out the clock.

Game 8CARDINALS 34, Rams 13

November 2, 2008 – Edward Jones Dome (61,303)

The Cardinals closed the first half of the season with an important NFC West tilt at St. Louis. AZ racked up a season-high 510 yards of offense behind a Kurt Warner-led passing attack and a run game headed by rookie Tim Hightower, who made his first career start. Warner was again sharp against his old team completing 23-34 passes (67.6%) for 342 yards and 2 TDs with no turnovers. Hightower became the first Cards rookie to top 100 rushing yards since 1993. Defensively, AZ allowed just 231 total yards and 61 rushing, both season lows. The game turned in the 2nd quarter when the Cards outscored the Rams 24-0 and outgained them 229-18. AZ improved to 5-3 with the win and extended its division lead to 3 games over the Rams, 49ers and Seahawks (all 2-6). The early going was not exactly easy for the Cards. They marched downfield on the opening drive and appeared to score on a 1-yard Hightower run on 3rd-n-goal. However, a successful St. Louis challenge reversed the TD call and Warner was stopped for no gain on a 4th down sneak. After the teams exchanged punts, St. Louis took over at its own 20 on the game’s 4th series. On 1st down, Marc Bulger went deep down the left sideline to WR Derek Stanley who hauled in the pass for his first career catch and an 80-yard TD. Early in the 2nd, the Cards evened the game at 7 when FS Antrel Rolle stepped in front of a Bulger pass and returned the pick 40 yards for his 4th career INT-TD. On the next Rams drive, SS Adrian Wilson sacked Bulger and forced a fumble that DE Bertrand Berry recovered at the Ram 23. That led to a 36-yard Neil Rackers FG that made it 10-7. On their next drive, the Cards moved 92 yards in 5 plays and Hightower scored on a 30-yard burst just after the 2:00 warning. A 3-n-out quickly gave AZ the ball back at its own 44. When Warner threw it deep down the right sideline, the ball bounced off the hands of DB Jonathan Wade and straight to WR Jerheme Urban at the 30. That 56-yard TD gave AZ a 24-7 halftime lead. The Cards scored the 3rd quarter’s only points when Anquan Boldin’s 7-yard TD grab ended an 8-play, 82-yard drive that made it 31-7. The Rams made it 31-13 early in the 4th on a 3-yard Torry Holt TD pass but the Cardinals then ended any comeback hopes on the next series. A 12-play drive netted a 30-yard Rackers FG but more importantly chewed 8:50 off the clock. St. Louis’ final possession ended with a Rod Hood INT off Bulger.

Game 9CARDINALS 29, 49ers 24

November 10, 2008 – University of Phoenix Stadium (64,519)

In a Monday night nail-biter, Arizona improved to 6-3 and extended its division lead to 4 games over the 3 other NFC West teams with a 29-24 home victory over the Niners. While the win gave the Cards a season sweep over San Fran, there was certainly nothing easy about it. Arizona trailed from the get-go after Allen Rossum returned the opening kickoff 104 yards for a TD. Behind another exceptional effort from Kurt Warner, the Cards stayed close and took their first lead with 4:16 to play when a Karlos Dansby INT set-up Anquan Boldin’s 2nd TD of the night (10th of the year). Still the Cards had to withstand a pair of threats from the 49ers and did not seal it until a goal-line stop on the game’s final play. It marked the 7th straight home win for the Cards, their longest streak since winning 9 in a row in 1925. After the Rossum score, the Cards moved to the SF10 but settled for a 28-yard Neil Rackers FG. Early in the 2nd, a 31-yard Shaun Hill-to-Josh Morgan TD gave SF a 14-3 lead. AZ responded by moving 78 yards in 4 plays including consecutive completions of 18 & 46 yards to Steve Breaston. The drive ended with Warner’s 13-yard TD pass to Boldin, who extended his streak of games with a TD to a club record 6 games. A 33-yard Rackers FG made it 14-13 but with 0:29 left in the half, Hill hit Vernon Davis for an 18-yard TD on 3rd-n-11. The Cards opened the 3rd quarter with a 7-play, 61-yard drive that ended with a gamble. On 4th-n-1 at the 5, Warner hit Fitzgerald with a TD that cut it to 1. The 49ers faced a similar decision on their next drive with a 4th-n-1 at the AZ24 and kicked a 41-yard Joe Nedney FG that made it 24-20. Late in the 3rd, the Cards appeared to take the lead when FS Antrel Rolle picked off Hill and returned it for a TD. However, the play was wiped out by a neutral zone infraction called on Adrian Wilson. Two plays later, a blitzing Wilson forced a Hill fumble that Clark Haggans recovered at the SF 10. The Cards could only turn it into a FG that cut the SF lead to 24-23. However, when Dansby picked Hill with a little over 5:00 to go and returned it 34 yards to the 5, it set the Cards up for their first lead. Warner’s 4-yard TD pass to Boldin put AZ up 29-24 (2-point try failed). The gritty Niners responded by moving to the Cards 18 but Wilson again snuffed the drive with a diving INT of a Hill shovel pass. When the AZ offense went 3-n-out, SF took over at the AZ 42 with 1:06 left after the punt (no timeouts). Three straight passes to Jason Hill quickly moved it downfield, including the final one of 14 yards that took it to the 1. In the final frenetic seconds, SF stopped the clock with a spike before Frank Gore ran for minus-1 on a play that was reviewed and upheld. After the review, SF had 0:02 left with the ball on the 2 when Michael Robinson was stuffed by Haggans and others to preserve the win.

Game 10CARDINALS 26, Seahawks 20

November 16, 2008 – Qwest Field (67,616)

The Cardinals won in Seattle for the first time since ‘02 and notched their 3rd straight win with a 6-point decision. The victory improved Arizona to 7-3 and strengthened the team’s commanding lead in the NFC West. The Cards scored on 6 of their first 7 drives and held a 26-7 lead after 3 quarters. A pair of 4th quarter turnovers led to Seattle TDs that narrowed it to 26-20 but Arizona’s defense held the Seahawks on their final 2 offensive possessions to clinch the win. Kurt Warner became the first Cards QB to top 300 passing yards in 4 straight games while WRs Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald each caught 10+ passes and topped 150 yards. Seattle was bolstered by the return of QB Matt Hasselbeck from a 5-week layoff (back); he completed 58% of his 29 passes for 170 yards and threw 3 INTs. On the game’s opening drive Warner was 9-10 for 61 yards and put the Cards in position for a 38-yard Neil Rackers FG. The lead grew to 10-0 on the next possession when J.J. Arrington scored on a 4-yard run; the biggest play was a 45-yard catch-n-run by Boldin. The next AZ drive’s big play was a 33-yarder to Fitzgerald that set-up a 48-yard Rackets FG and 13-0 lead. Rookie Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie ended the next Seattle series with a diving INT and late in the 2nd, the Cards seemed in position to put the game away. However, Josh Wilson’s INT and 58-yard return set up a 13-yard Mo Morris TD catch that made it 13-7 with 0:56 left. Warner then guided AZ into position for a 54-yard Rackers FG as the half ended. On the opening series of the 2nd half, Julius Jones fumbled and turned it over at the AZ33. A 44-yard Boldin catch took it to the SEA28 and that led to a 26-yard Rackers FG. After a Seattle punt, the Cards moved 82 yards in 10 plays and capped the drive with a 6-yard Warner-to-Arrington TD. Early in the 4th, Karlos Dansby appeared to end a Seattle drive deep in AZ territory with his goal-line INT but when he fumbled on the return, the Seahawks got another chance. They capitalized on a 1-yard T.J. Duckett run. On the 2nd play of the next drive Warner was sacked and fumbled, giving the ball back at the AZ14 and Duckett’s subsequent 2-yard TD run made it 26-20 with 9:41 left. An AZ punt gave the Seahawks the ball back with 5:38 left but the Cards send them 3-n-out. Seattle would get another chance when they took over at their own 28 with 2:05 left but on the 1st play, Rodgers-Cromartie again picked Hasselbeck to seal the game.
