He coached Crimson Tide running backs for two seasons (1981-82) before becoming one of the youngest head coaches in Division I history when Temple University hired him in 1983 at the age of 30. He spent six seasons coaching the Owls but was let go following the 1988 season. Eight stops and two-plus decades later he became a head coach again when he earned the job in Arizona. As a collegiate quarterback at Virginia Tech (1972-74) Arians was voted the teams MVP as a senior. He finished his college career with 78 completions on 174 attempts for 1,270 yards, six touchdowns and eight interceptions in addition to rushing for 539 yards and 14 touchdowns on 135 carries.

DOB November 29, 1974 CARDINALS | YEARS N FL 7 | 8
Former Alabama quarterback Freddie Kitchens enters his seventh season on the Cardinals coaching staff and first in the role of quarterbacks coach after his appointment to the position on 2/5/13. He previously served as Arizonas tight ends coach for the past six seasons after joining the team on 2/6/07. A three-year starter at quarterback for the University of Alabama (1995-97), Kitchens finished his playing career with 4,668 yards and 30 touchdown passes for the Crimson Tide. His offensive coordinator as a senior in 1997 was current Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians. Upon his departure, he ranked third in Alabama history in career attempts, fourth in career passing yards and fifth in career completions. Alabama went 22-13 during those three seasons and went to the 1993 Gator Bowl, 1994 Citrus Bowl, and the 1996 Outback Bowl. During an OTA practice on June 4th this past summer, Kitchens fell ill and was sent to the training room. After being evaluated by team personnel, he was taken to the hospital where a CT scan revealed a defect to his aorta that required immediate emergency surgery at the Arizona Heart Institute. He is expected to make a full recovery. He began his NFL coaching career in 2006 with the Dallas Cowboys after seven years of collegiate coaching experience. In 10 years as a player and coach at the college level, Kitchens was a part of teams that captured three conference titles and played in seven bowl games. Last season, tight end Rob Housler, a third-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, had 45 receptions for 417 yards. In franchise history, only two TEs (Jackie Smith and Freddie Jones) had more catches in a season than Housler did in 2012. In 2011 with the Cardinals, Kitchens oversaw a stable of tight ends that contributed 65 receptions for 712 yards and four touchdowns that season, with free agent acquisition Jeff King tying a career high with three touchdown receptions. In 2007, Kitchens tight end trio of Leonard Pope, Ben Patrick, and Troy Bienemann helped the Cardinals finish with the fifth best passing offense in the NFL as well as helping to record 32 passing touchdowns, a franchise record. As a group, the eight touchdowns caught by the tight ends were the most by the Cardinals since 1988 and the trio also recorded six red
zone touchdowns, helping the Cardinals to the secondbest red zone scoring offense in the NFL (94.0%). With Dallas in 2006, Kitchens helped tutor Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten to his third consecutive trip to Hawaii. Witten finished the season with 64 receptions for 754 yards (11.8 yard avg.) and one touchdown while starting in all 16 games. Kitchens came to Dallas after a two-year stint at Mississippi State University where he coached running backs (2005) and tight ends (2004). In 2005, he guided Jerious Norwood, a 2006 third-round NFL Draft choice of the Atlanta Falcons, to a 1,180-yard season, becoming just the second runner to post back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons in school history. Norwood finished his Bulldogs career with a school-record 3,222 career rushing yards. In his first season on the Bulldogs staff in 2004, Kitchens helped implement the West Coast offense that gained tight end Eric Butler All-SEC freshman recognition while setting a Mississippi State single-season record with four touchdown receptions from his tight end position. He served as the running backs coach at the University of North Texas from 2001-03 and contributed to Mean Green clubs that won three straight Sun Belt Conference titles. In 2003, running back Patrick Cobbs rushed for 1,680 yards and scored 19 touchdowns, earning the Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year award while also leading the nation with a 152.7 yards per game average. Cobbs went on to play five seasons (2006-2010) in the NFL with Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins, collecting 580 all-purpose yards and six touchdowns. Kitchens joined the North Texas staff after one season as a graduate assistant at LSU (2000) where he served on Nick Sabans first Tiger staff, managing the offensive scout team and helping with special teams. That team went 9-4, including a 28-14 win over Georgia Tech in the Peach Bowl. After a one-year stint playing professionally in Italy in the spring of 1999, he began his coaching career as an assistant at Glenville State College that fall, coaching both running backs and tight ends. A native of Gadsden, AL, Kitchens earned high school All-America honors and was named Mr. Football in the state of Alabama his senior season. He and his wife, Ginger, have two daughters, Bennett and Camden.

Prior to joining the Cardinals, Lott previously was the strength and conditioning coach with the Cleveland Browns (2005-06) and New York Jets (19972004). A native of Denton, TX, Lott has earned a reputation as one of the NFLs most demanding strength and conditioning coaches, consistently challenging the players with off-the-field preparation both during the season and off-season.

A standout running back and return specialist for nine seasons with the Cardinals (1981-89), Lyvonia Stump Mitchell enters his first season as running backs coach after being hired on 2/5/13. Beginning his 12th season as an NFL assistant, Mitchell returns to the NFL coaching ranks after working as head coach at Southern University. Mitchell was the head coach at Southern from 2010-12, and was re-assigned within the program following a 0-2 start to the 12 season. Prior to his tenure at Southern, Mitchell spent two seasons as the running backs coach for the Washington Redskins (2008-09). During his first season with the Redskins, Mitchell oversaw the NFLs eighth-ranked rushing attack and Clinton Portis, who was selected to the Pro Bowl that season, piled up 1,487 yards, which at the time was the second-highest single season total in franchise history. He also tutored FB Mike Sellers, who joined Portis in the Pro Bowl in 2008. He began his NFL coaching career in 1999, serving nine years as the running backs coach for the Seattle Seahawks under head coach Mike Holmgren. Mitchell coached a 1,000-yard rusher in each of his first seven seasons with Seattle (Ricky Watters and Shaun Alexander). Under Mitchells tutelage, Alexander was a three-time Pro Bowler and was named 2005 NFL MVP after leading the NFL with a franchise record 1,880 rushing yards and setting a then-NFL record with 28 TDs (NFL record 27 rushing TDs, 1 receiving TD). In 2004, Alexander led the NFC with 1,696 rushing yards and 20 TDs. During the 2003 season, Mitchell helped Alexander reach his first career Pro Bowl after rushing for 1,435 yards, and in 2002, Alexander had 16 rushing TDs. Alexanders backfield teammate, fullback Mack

He originally joined the MSU staff in 1995 as offensive coordinator before being promoted the following year. Under Mitchells tutelage, the Bears boasted a strong rushing attack that averaged 148.9 yards per game in 1997. A ninth round selection (226th overall) by the Cardinals in the 1981 NFL Draft, Mitchell spent his entire nine-year NFL career with the Cardinals.

Mitchells 42 career TDs are tied for the 10th best total in team annals. Throughout his career, Mitchell posted 14 100-yard rushing games and finished with a 4.7-yard average, which ranks as the second-highest career mark in team history. He posted a 5.6-yard rushing average in 1981, earning All-Rookie honors from Pro Football Weekly, who also awarded him All-NFC honors as a kickoff returner in 1984. In addition to his success on the field, Mitchell was also honored with the Chuck Drulis Award in 1982 and the Byron Whizzer White Humanitarian Award in 1984 for his work in the community. Mitchells coaching career began in the spring of 1991, when he served as the running backs coach of the San Antonio Rough Riders of the World League of American Football (WLAF).

PRATT
Veteran assistant coach Tom Pratt enters his first season with the Cardinals as pass rush specialist and 35th season as an NFL assistant after being hired on 2/5/13. Only Pittsburghs Dick LeBeau (41st season) and Houstons Wade Phillips (37th season) have more experience among active NFL coaches. Pratt, who began his professional coaching career with Kansas City in 1963, helped the Chiefs win AFL championships in 1966 and 1969 and reach Super Bowl I and Super Bowl IV. He has coached four players who have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Buck Buchanan, Derrick Thomas and 2013 selections Curley Culp and Warren Sapp). Pratt is also the only current coach in the league to own the distinction of coaching in the NFL in six different decades 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s. He is also the only active NFL assistant to have coached in the American Football League. He comes back to coaching after spending the past three years serving as a defensive coordinator consultant with IMG Academies in Florida, helping to train draft eligible players for the NFL. His last job in the league was as the assistant defensive line coach with the Chiefs in 2000, helping out while defensive line coach Bob Karmelowicz was being treated for cancer. That was Pratts third different stint with Kansas City (1963-77, 1989-94, 2000). During his first stop with the Chiefs, Pratt had a hand in molding some of the finest defensive performers to ever wear a Kansas City uniform. In the 1960s, when Pratt served as an assistant under Hall of Fame coach Hank Stram, the Chiefs defensive front helped the club win its lone World Championship in 1969 with a 23-7 victory over Minnesota in Super Bowl IV. Hall of Fame tackles Buck Buchanan and Curley Culp combined with ends Jerry Mays and Aaron Brown to form arguably the finest defensive front in the AFLs 10-year history. Buchanan, who passed away in 1992, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990, and Culp was selected as a member of the 2013 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. After his initial 15-year stay in Kansas City, Pratt coached the defensive line with the New
CA R D I N A L S S TA F F
Orleans Saints (1978-80) and Cleveland Browns (1981-88) before returning to the Chiefs for another six seasons (1989-94) under Marty Schottenheimer. While in Cleveland, he worked with defensive tackle Bob Golic, who was a three-time Pro Bowl selection (1985-87), and defensive end Reggie Camp, who had 14 sacks in 1984 and accumulated 29.5 sacks from 1984-86. In his second stint with the Chiefs as defensive line coach (1989-94), Pratt tutored the late Derrick Thomas, a 2009 Hall of Fame inductee. Even though Thomas was listed as a linebacker, he played the Chiefs rushbacker position in 1993 and worked with Pratt on the defensive line. Thomas made his fifth straight Pro Bowl appearance that season as Kansas City advanced to the AFC Championship Game. Defensive end Neil Smith also flourished under Pratt, recording four straight Pro Bowl berths under his guidance (1991-94), while defensive tackle Dan Saleaumua earned first-team Pro Football Weekly All-Pro honors in 1990. Pratt spent the 1995 season as defensive line coach with Tampa Bay, tutoring defensive tackle Warren Sapp in his rookie season, before coaching at the United States Coast Guard Academy in 1997. He then spent two years (1998-99) as a football ambassador to the Far East, coaching in Osaka, Japan for the Asahi Challengers in the Japanese Company League of American football. He returned to work with the Challengers for the 2000 season as they won the Japanese Super Bowl. He also served as a consultant at Kyoto University in Japan from 2002-04. He was a collegiate linebacker at the University of Miami from 1953-56, where Stram was an assistant coach at the time. Pratt earned AllAmerican honors in 1956, and he was inducted into the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame in 1991. After graduating from Miami in 1957 with a degree in Education, he stayed at his alma mater as an assistant for four years (1957-60). He then coached at the University of Southern Mississippi from 1961-62 before joining Strams staff in Kansas City in 1963. Pratt and his wife, Hope, have three children, daughters Kendra and Shana, and son Tyler, and seven grandchildren.

Calais Campbell donated a lot of time and energy to the Arizona community in his fifth season with the Cardinals in 2012. The Cardinals 2011 NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year, Campbell has made it his mission to give back to the Arizona community through team events and his foundation work. In 2010, he founded the CRC Foundation, named after his late father, Charles. The foundation is committed to the enhancement of the community by teaching life skills to assist with the development of young people. Through sports, the enrichment of creative talents, vocational skills, guidance of positive financial skills, and quality health and nutrition, the foundation seeks to empower and provide self-awareness for future leaders. Campbell has hosted a variety of events since the creation of the foundation to help it grow, including this May when he hosted his first annual golf tournament at Raven Golf Course. That followed the Calais Campbell Thanksgiving Food Box Donation at Black Family and Child Services last November when he bought 150 food boxes that were distributed to families in need. At Christmas time, Campbell, along with his Cardinals teammates, once again hosted his Shop with a Jock at Wal-Mart to shop with 50 children from the UMOM New Day Center. The third annual event provided homeless children from the Phoenix area with a $200 shopping spree along with food and games. He also raffled off a Monday Night Football experience in 2012 which included game tickets, a signed jersey and a meet and greet. Last September, he hosted the second annual Fundraiser Dinner at Flemings Steakhouse to benefit his foundation and raise money through a silent and live auction. Campbell joined his Cardinals teammates and other celebrities to serve as waiters at the steakhouse. Campbell has partnered with United Way and the NFL as the Cardinals spokesperson to promote reading and the importance of education. In addition to helping to recruit volunteer readers, tutors and mentors, Campbell took part in the United Way Great Phoenix Literacy Fair in January of 2013 to promote the importance of literacy of elementary school students. In March 2013, he was the keynote speaker to a group of college students at Deloitte and United Ways Alternate Spring Break. He is currently recruiting volunteer mentors, readers and tutors to join him in helping to cut high-school dropout rates as part of his work with Team NFL and United Way. Fans can sign up at www.unitedway.org/calais. He also represented the team at Jefferson Elementary School in November of 2011 and led students in fitness activities as part of the NFLs Play 60 program. Jefferson was selected as a Super School and won a $10,000 grant from the NFL for health and wellness programming and equipment. The Play 60 program helps to promote at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day to combat childhood obesity. He joined teammate Sam Acho as well as other Cardinals players to travel to Nigeria in the summers of 2012 and 2013 to serve on a medical mission through Achos Living Hope foundation. The group brought doctors, nurses, surgeons, and dentists to give free medical care to people in need. Previously, Campbell joined representatives from Albertsons and distributed 50 meals to current and former residents of the Chicanos Por La Causa shelter during Thanksgiving of 2010. The CLPC shelter provides safe, temporary housing for women and their children who have been forced to leave their homes due to domestic violence. He also distributed 40 turkey dinners to families in the Chandler school district at Hamilton High School and Hancock Elementary to help brighten the holidays of those in need that same year. Campbell also served as a keynote speaker for the 2010 Spotlight Dinner through the Chandler Youth Football League. The dinner recognized student athletes earning scholarships to four year colleges and universities.

Faced with unspeakable tragedy at an early age, Darnell Dockett remembers a time when he thought he was more likely to end up in prison or dead than in the NFL. He credits his uncle, Kevin, as the one individual responsible for turning his life around. At the age of 13, Darnell arrived home to find the body of his mother, Cheryl Hambrick, who had been killed by a gunshot to the head. Shortly thereafter, Darnell moved from Decatur, GA to Maryland to be with his father, Darnell Sr., who was dying of pancreatic cancer. Only a few months after moving in with his father, Darnell Sr. passed away and Darnell became an orphan. Thats when Kevin Dockett, his fathers brother, took him into his Burtonsville, MD home and probably saved his life. Additional challenges would follow but he credits his uncle with providing a foundation and instilling a sense of perspective that enabled him to meet and move past each of them. Tattooed on Darnells right forearm is a poem of gratitude to his uncle:
For believing in me when no one else would. When the odds were against me, beside me you stood. For being my friend, brother, confidant and father. Because of you I know blood is thicker than water. Words cant express my gratitude, nor any amount of money. From the bottom of my heart, thank you and I love you Donny

The First Down Fund has made significant contributions in time, money and resources - to numerous organizations across the country. During the 2012 football season, the First Down Fund made a donation each week to a charitable organization nominated by a fan, repeating an initiative Larry started in 2011.

Breast Cancer Awareness and Prevention and Research One of the causes closest to Larrys heart is breast cancer research. Following the death of his mother, Larry became very involved in the cause and for the past three seasons, has proved a key figure in the NFLs annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Has served as a league spokesman for the league-wide initiative A Crucial Catch for the last three years. During the 2010 season, the Larry Fitzgerald First Down Fund donated $1,000 for every catch and an additional $5,000 for every TD he made in the month of October to breast cancer awareness. In 2011, Larry upped it to $1,000 for every catch and $10,000 for every TD catch for the month, and added 10 cents for every new Twitter follower he gained. In 2012 Larry committed the same level of support, and teamed up with Minnesota Timberwolve and US Olympian Kevin Love in a social media campaign that raised $80,000 for breast cancer research. The following organizations have received significant donations as a result of this initiative: The National Breast Cancer Foundation, the American Cancer Society, African American Breast Cancer Alliance, and Sistas of AZ Pink 365 campaign providing free mammograms. After earning a trip to the Pro Bowl following the 2010 season, Larry provided two breast cancer survivors with trips to accompany him to Hawaii. Humanitarian Travel So far in 2013, Fitzgerald has made humanitarian trips to Senegal and to the Philippines. In Senegal Larry traveled with fellow NFL wide receivers Anquan Boldin and Roddy White to visit projects supported by Oxfam America, including a thriving womens garden where they helped build a fence to protect the crops from hippos, and they visited mining communities that have been adversely affected by large-scale mining operations. In the Philippines Larry worked with Starkey Hearing Foundation to fit hundreds of children with hearing aids. In each of the last two years, Larry has taken part in humanitarian trips during the offseason. In March of 2012, he joined former teammate Anquan Boldin and partnered with Oxfam America, an international relief group that works to end poverty and injustice around the world. Larry and Anquan traveled to Ethiopia to visit development projects supported by Oxfam. The duo provided recognition to Ethiopians working to improve their own communities and used their networks to raise awareness about the efforts of Ethiopians to address food insecurity and their need for our support. Among the projects they worked on were assisting to build an irrigation system, planting trees, and they donated livestock which will provide food and economic support to the community for generations. Larry and Anquan will be making another humanitarian trip with Oxfam America in March 2013. Larry also volunteers for the Starkey Hearing Foundation, an international relief group dedicated to provide hearing aids and hearing health awareness to those less fortunate and also supporting research and education. In March of 2011, Fitzgerald joined Pros for Africa and the Starkey Hearing Foundation on a trip to Uganda and Rwanda to bring over 22,000 hearing aids to people with no way to afford them. In May of 2012, Fitzgerald again joined the Starkey Hearing Foundation on a trip to Malaysia and in late July, just prior to the start of training camp, he flew to Uganda to assist President Clinton and his daughter Chelsea fit hearing aids for those in need. In previous years Larry traveled to Thailand and India to fit hearing aids for children. Youth Football Camp Fitzgerald has hosted a youth football camp in Minnesota for several years. Every year scholarship slots are funded by Larry so that underprivileged youth can attend. Starting in 2012, he is working with Pro Camps to host camps in both Arizona and Minnesota. In May of 2012, Fitzgerald hosted the first annual Larry Fitzgerald Football ProCamp at McClintock High School in Tempe, AZ. The camp provided boys and girls ages 7-14 the opportunity to learn fundamentals from Fitzgerald and other NFL players and coaches. Supporting the Military Having had a number of family members serve in the Armed Forces, Larry has long been a big supporter of the military. In June of 2011, Larry joined EAS on a promotion for the Semper Fi Fund. He did numerous interviews to raise awareness for the Views for Vets Semper Fi Fund initiative. For every click on the funds website, donations were made that raised immediate financial support for injured and critically ill members of the United States Armed Forces. Twice in his career, Larry has joined other NFL players on week-long NFL/USO tours of Iraq and Afghanistan, spending several days meeting with troops deployed to the Persian Gulf. Larry has visited numerous bases and met with thousands of troops, taking pictures, signing autographs and participating in football roundtables, where troops were able to ask the players questions. During one trip they also met up with a group of Navy SEALs and were challenged to compete against a number of top SEALs in the obstacle training course. CA R D I N A L S P L AY E R S

Every year people across the country turn their clocks ahead in the spring and back in the fall, except in Arizona. Although Arizona stays on standard time throughout the year, never changing its clock forward or back, the time change, or lack thereof, does affect the Cardinals local kickoff times during the season. In 2013, daylight saving time was observed on the second Sunday in March (March 10) and ends on the first Sunday in November (November 3). When daylight saving time is in effect, Arizona is three hours behind the east coast, making a 4:00 p.m. kickoff in New York a 1:00 p.m. kickoff in Arizona. However, when daylight saving time ends, Arizona is only two hours behind the east coast, making a 4:00 p.m. kickoff in New York a 2:00 p.m. kickoff in Arizona. In 1967 the Uniform Time Act was instituted, putting the entire country on daylight saving time. After one year, states could opt out if they wanted and Arizona went back to standard time and stayed there. Residents and lawmakers of Arizona knew there was an abundance of sunshine and did not see the need to move their clocks ahead in order to save any. The only other state that does not observe Daylight Saving Time is Hawaii.

The event brings hope to children who are battling cancer through a positive financial blessing while also increasing awareness to all of the devastating effects of cancer in children. This issue is very important to Peterson since his mom, Shandra, is a cancer survivor. This past June, he also held a football camp featuring NFL players, high school and college coaches instructing kids ages 7-17 in his hometown of Pompano Beach, FL. Peterson helps to raise money for his foundation through the sales of various eye black stickers on his website. In addition to his foundation work, Peterson also took part in the teams annual Feed the Hungry event at the Phoenix Rescue Mission during Thanksgiving. He joined team President Michael Bidwill and Cardinals teammates to serve Thanksgiving dinner for the less fortunate. This past offseason, Peterson joined Cardinals teammates, President Michael Bidwill, head coach Bruce Arians and GM Steve Keim to take part in a tweetup hosted by SIs Peter King at Toms Tavern the night before Pats Run to benefit the Tillman Foundation.

As a result of this change, the NFL will be able to devote more resources to its goal of making a difference in the lives of those touched by football from players at all levels of the game to the broader community. The foundation will award more than $23 million in grants in 2013 to support youth and high school football programs, health and safety efforts, as well as community health initiatives, including NFL PLAY 60. We are proud of the NFLs long-standing history of giving back to communities, said Commissioner Goodell. The board of our new foundation is a passionate group of individuals who will help to ensure the NFL continues to be a leader in philanthropy. In addition to serving on the National Football League Foundation board, Bidwill chairs the Leagues Security & Fan Conduct Committee and is also a member of the NFLs Business Ventures Committee.

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

CARDINALS 0, SEAHAWKS 58
DECEMBER 9, 2012 CENTURYLINK FIELD (67,685) The Cardinals headed to CenturyLink Field for a week 14 match-up with the 7-5 Seahawks. Arizona, had defeated Seattle 20-16 in week 1 and was hoping to earn a season sweep as well as end its 8-game losing streak. Instead, the game got out of hand quickly due in large part to six first half turnovers that helped Seattle surge to a 38-0 halftime lead. In all, the eight Arizona turnovers (5 INTs & 3 fumbles) led to 30 Seahawks points and one of the most one-sided games in franchise history. The game started in positive fashion for the Cardinals offense which was led by QB John Skelton, back in the starting role after a two-game absence. Arizona took the opening kickoff from its own 22 to the SEA 37 but on 3rd-n-2 from there, Skeltons pass to Larry Fitzgerald went off the WRs hands, was deflected by a pair of Seattle defenders and into the arms of LB Bobby Wagner. The INT return set the Seahawks up at the AZ14 but the Cardinals defense made them settle for a 31-yard Steven Hauschka FG. Seattles next two drives, however, produced touchdowns. The first came on a 20-yard Marshawn Lynch run that capped an 11-play, 85-yard drive. The second covered 73 yards in just 3 plays, the biggest of which was a 66-yard Russell Wilson completion to TE Anthony McCoy; Lynchs 4-yard scoring run made it 17-0 early in the second quarter. That quarter wound up being a disastrous one for the Cards who would turn it over 4 times before the half; two would be returned for TDs and another set up a third. With 10:12 to go, CB Richard Sherman stepped in front of a Skelton pass intended for Fitzgerald and returned it 19 yards to the end zone. A few minutes later, Patrick Peterson muffed a punt that was ultimately recover in the end zone for a TD by Malcolm Smith. Arizonas defense held the Seahawks offense after another Sherman INT off Skelton but on the ensuing punt Peterson fumbled and Seattle recovered at the AZ24 with 0:19 left. Two plays later, Wilson connected with TE Zack Miller of a 24-yard TD that made it 38-0 at intermission. It did not get better in the 2nd half. Seattle opened with a 7-play, 86-yard drive and Lynch scored his third TD of the afternoon with a 33-yard run. Two plays later, Skelton was again intercepted by Wagner setting up a 28-yard Hauschka FG that made it 48-0. By that point Wilson was replaced at QB by back-up Matt Flynn and Ryan Lindley came on to relieve Skelton. Lindleys first drive ended on a sack-fumble by the Seattle defense that set-up a Hauschka FG that made it 51-0. Leon Washingtons 3-yard TD run with 2:37 to go provided the games final points. 1 2 3 4 OT F CARDINALS 0 0 0 0 0 SEAHAWKS 10 28 13 7 58

HISTORY
FRANCHISE HISTORY
The Cardinals were founded in 1898 and in 1920 became a charter member of the National Football League, then known as the American Professional Football Association. The club holds the distinction of being the United States oldest professional football franchise still in existence. The jersey color and the location of the field (61st and Racine) led to a new and obvious name, the Racine Cardinals. In Chicago at the time, football competition was exclusively amateur, but opposition became increasingly hard to find, so in 1906, the team disbanded. In 1913, OBrien reorgaTHE EARLY DAYS nized the Cardinals. By 1917 The team boasts a colorthey were able to buy new ful history.

The colorful history of the Cardinals, a charter member of the National Football League and the oldest continuously run professional football franchise in the nation, began humbly in 1898 as a neighborhood group that gathered to play football as the Morgan Athletic Club in Chicagos South Side.

Shortly after the Cardinals joined the American Professional Football League in 1920 for the $100 franchise fee, OBrien lured great halfback John Paddy Driscoll to the Cardinals for $3,000 a year, a sum considered outlandish at the time. But Driscoll was an authentic superstar, a superior runner, blocker, punter, and possibly the finest drop kicker in the history of football. He would coach the team from 192122. One of Driscolls young running backs was Ralph Horween, a former star at Harvard, who played under the assumed name of B. McMahon. A Cardinal from 192122, Horween scored two rushing touchdowns during his three-year career in the days of leather helmets without face masks, numberless sweater jerseys, and $40 paychecks. In 1922, a team from Racine, Wisconsin joined the NFL, prompting the Cardinals to change their name to the Chicago Cardinals. The same year the Cardinals also moved into their new home in Comiskey Park, which they would share with baseballs White Sox for 37 years. Under new Head Coach Norman Barry, the Cardinals outdistanced a field of 20 teams to win their first NFL championship in 1925 by virtue of the leagues best record (the NFL did not begin postseason play until 1933). A Chicago physician, Dr. David Jones, purchased the team in 1929. In his first year of ownership, he coaxed legendary running back Ernie Nevers out of retirement to become player-coach. Still in his prime, the 26-year-old Nevers scored an NFL-record 40 points on six touchdowns and four extra points in an historic 406 victory over the cross-town Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving Day, 1929. After guiding the Cardinals to a 16143 combined record in three seasons, the legendary Nevers retired as both coach and player in 1932. Nevers departure also marked the arrival of a new club owner. Charles W. Bidwill, Sr., a vice president of the Bears, purchased the Cardinals for Jones asking price of $50,000. Bidwill divested himself of his Bears holdings and in 1932, the franchise began a continuous period of family ownership that continues to this day. The team sorely missed Nevers magic on the field and the Cardinals endured difficult years in
Cardinal owner Charles W. Bidwill, Sr. is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. the 1930s and early 40s. World War II hit the team heavily. The Cardinals lost their top passer, receiver, and linemanJohnny Clement, Billy Dewell, and Joe Kuharich, respectivelyto military service. In 1944 as a war-time emergency measure, the Cardinals combined with the Pittsburgh Steelers to play as one team. It was called Card-Pitt. Co-coached by the Cardinals Phil Handler and the Steelers Walt Kiesling, a former Cardinal guard, the team split its home games between Comiskey Park and Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, failing to win an outing in 10 tries. Success finally returned following the war. In 1945, the arrival of University of Missouri quarterback Paul Christman trumpeted the teams conversion to the T formation. Fullback Pat Harder and halfback Elmer Angsman were added in 1946.
Still, Bidwill earned credit for fitting the final crucial piece into place to complete the Cardinals famed Million-Dollar Backfield. It was his unprecedented signing of University of Georgia All-America running back Charley Trippi, for the then-unheard of sum of $100,000 that finally put the Cardinals over the top. Several key Cardinals were already in place for the championship run. In 1945, the organi289
zation drafted Paul Christman, a talented passer from Missouri, before adding Wisconsin fullback Pat Harder, Elmer Angsman of Notre Dame, and end/defensive back Mal Kutner from Texas in 46. Another great end, Bill Dewell, had returned from military service for the 45 season. The staple of Conzelmans ensemble was a relic from the late 30s, versatile Marshall Biggie Goldberg, an intuitive defensive back who was the first real free safety in pro football and the dean of the Million-Dollar Backfield. Also a running back, Goldberg had enjoyed many productive days offensively, too, but they were mostly behind him when Conzelman began his second reign as the Cards head man in 46. Chicago started quickly in 1947 by winning its first three outings, including a 317 trouncing of the hated cross-town rival Bears. In week four, the Cardinals headed to Los Angeles to face the Rams. There they incurred their first loss of the season, 277 and afterwards tragically lost rookie punter Jeff Burkett. He missed the game as well as the flight back to Chicago because of an emergency appendectomy. After several days recuperating, the United Airlines DC-6 taking him home crashed in Bryce Canyon, Utah, killing the young star who was the NFLs leading punter at the time of the tragedy. Under that pall, the Cardinals climbed to 73 but were in the throes of a two-game losing streak heading to Philadelphia on December 7 for a critical game against the Eagles. Trailing 73 at the half, Chicago exploded for six second-half touchdowns, including two by Trippi, and held the powerful Steve Van Buren to just 44 yards rushing to grab a crucial 4521 road win.
The victory deadlocked the Cards with the Bears, who stood as the only remaining obstacle between the Cardinals and their first Western Division crown. A showdown loomed for the regular season finale the following Sunday at hostile Wrigley Field on Chicagos North Side. The biggest play of the game came on the first snap. Conzelman designed a pass play that would isolate Bears linebacker Mike Holovak one-on-one with speedster Boris Babe Dimancheff. Because his wife was expecting, Dimancheff missed the entire week of practice and did not rejoin the team until the day before the game. Despite never running it in advance, the play worked to perfection as Dimancheff raced down the center of the field and caught Christmans perfect pass in stride for a TD. The Cardinals also intercepted four passes off legendary Bear quarterback Sid Luckman, converting two into touchdowns en route to a 3021 win. The Western Division crown now in hand, the Cardinals prepared to play host to the league championship game a fortnight later (12/28/47) against Eastern Division powerhouse Philadelphia. At a bitterly cold Comiskey Park, pre-kickoff controversy raged when it was discovered the Eagles attempted to get better gripping on the concretelike playing surface by sharpening and filing their cleats. A succession of penalties opened the game, infuriating Philadelphia Head Coach Earle Greasy Neale. Meanwhile the Cardinals quietly had slipped into tennis shoes for the frigid affair. The game was defined by Chicagos quickopeners, producing three long scoring runs from scrimmagetwo 70-yarders by Angsman and a 44-yarder by Trippi. In the third quarter, Trippi
The 1947 Cardinals won the NFL Championship with a 10-3 overall record. They defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 28-21 at Chicagos Comiskey Park in the NFLs 15th title contest.

After 14 years in the city, the Cardinals brought their first division title to St. Louis in 1974. The Big Red captured the NFC Eastern Division flag under Head Coach Don Coryell and advanced to the playoffs with a 104 regular season record. The Cardinals lost to the Minnesota Vikings, 3014, in their first playoff appearance since 1948. Again in 1975, Coryell provided St. Louis a division crown but another playoff loss, this time to the Rams in Los Angeles, 35-23, ended the Cards postseason dream in their first outing. The Cardinals next appeared in the playoffs in 1982 when Head Coach Jim Hanifans club lost a first-round game at Green Bay, 4116. In 1984, an offensively explosive St. Louis team narrowly missed the playoffsand the NFC Eastern Division titlewith a 97 record. However, the Cardinals stumbled to a 511 mark in 1985, prompting Hanifans dismissal and the hiring of long-time Dallas Cowboy assistant Gene Stallings as the teams new head coach. After 28 years in St. Louis, the Cardinals relocated to Arizona in the spring of 1988 and made Sun Devil Stadium on the campus of Arizona State University their new home. Their first season in the Valley of the Sun began optimistically when the team raced to a 74 record and a share of the NFC Eastern Division lead. But untimely injuries struck and a five-game losing streak ensued to finish the year, dashing hopes of the clubs first postseason berth since 1982. The Cardinals new home provided club singlegame (67,139 vs. Dallas in the Arizona inaugural game) and single-season (472,937) attendance records (since broken) in the teams first autumn in Arizona. All the Cardinals franchise attendance records have been established since moving to the desert. The record-setting inaugural season attendance total was eclipsed in 1994 when 497,330 fans, or 62,166 per game, spun the Sun Devil Stadium turnstiles. All of those attendance marks, however, have been eclipsed since the team moved into University of Phoenix Stadium. On March 17, 1994, Bidwill announced his intention to change the name of the team to the Arizona Cardinals and it was adopted unanimously by vote of NFL owners the following week. The 1995 season marked another milestone when the Cardinals served as host team for Super Bowl XXX at Sun Devil Stadium on January 28, 1996. The 1998 Arizona squad ended the franchises 15-year playoff drought. Under head coach Vince Tobin and led by former ASU quarterback Jake Plummer, the 98 Cardinals earned a Wild Card berth by winning their last three games in dramatic fashion and each by a field goal or less a 20-17 overtime win at Philadelphia, a 19-17 home win vs. New Orleans, and a playoff-clinching 16-13 home win over San Diego. The final game ended

Marshall Goldberg sealed the 1947 championship game victory with a fourth quarter interception. circled under a high Joe Muha punt, taking it on his own 25-yard line before racing 75 yards for a touchdown, getting hit three times along the way. Angsmans thrilling fourth-quarter duplication of his second-period 70-yard touchdown strike enabled him to break the NFL championship game record for rushing yards with 159. But Philadelphia fought evenly throughout with one-eyed quarterback Tommy Thompson setting two playoff records on 27-of-44 passing for 297 yards. The Cardinals 2821 victory, however, wasnt secured until Goldbergs late-game interception.

Following her husbands passing in April of 1947, Violet Bidwill assumed control of the franchise for the next 15 years, a span that included a second consecutive Western Division championship and appearance in the 1948 NFL championship game, a 70 loss at Philadelphia, and the transfer of the team from Chicago to St. Louis in 1960. Upon Mrs. Bidwills death in January of 1962, team control moved to sons Charles W. Bidwill, Jr. and William V. Bidwill. In 1972, the latter and his family gained sole ownership with William becoming managing general partner. On July 1, 1976, incorporation of the company was accomplished with Bidwill continuing as chief executive officer.

when Chris Jacke nailed a 52-yard field goal as time expired to win the game before a sold-out crowd at Sun Devil Stadium. The next week saw the team notch its first postseason victory since 1947 with a 207 win over the Cowboys at Texas Stadium. The thrilling ride ended with a 41-21 loss at Minnesota in the divisional playoffs the next week. The 2000 season proved pivotal to the Cardinals franchise. On Election Day, November 7, 2000, voters in Maricopa County passed Proposition 302, the Tourism and Sports Initiative, to help fund a new stadium for the Cardinals, Fiesta Bowl, and future Super Bowls, in addition to providing revenue for Cactus League spring training baseball, tourism, and youth recreation. The 454,785 yes votes spelled a plurality of 33,123 votes (51.89 percent). The attention of the sports world and beyond turned to Arizona safety Pat Tillman in 2002 when he quietly and nobly walked away from a lucrative career in pro football to enlist in the Army. Moved to action by the events of 9/11, Tillman joined the elite Army Rangers and in April of 2004 was killed while serving in Afghanistan. His jersey number 40 became the fifth in team history to be retired. In 2005, the Cardinals made NFL history by participating in the NFLs first-ever regular season game played outside the United States. On October 2nd, the Cards defeated the 49ers 31-14 before a record crowd of 103,467 in Mexico Citys Estadio Azteca, the largest crowd ever to see an NFL regular season game. The 2006 season marked the teams first at University of Phoenix Stadium, recognized by
BusinessWeek as one of the 10 most impressive sports facilities in the world. Since then, the world-class venue has attracted record crowds for the franchise and has allowed the team to sell-out every game played in the venue. On February 3, 2008, the stadium hosted Super Bowl XLII between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. The 2008 Cardinals turned in perhaps the most memorable season in franchise history, one that ended with the teams first-ever Super Bowl appearance. Arizona qualified for the postseason by clinching its first division title since 1975 and first-ever NFC West crown with a perfect 6-0 divisional record. As the division champs, the Cardinals hosted their first playoff game since 1947 and defeated Atlanta 30-24 in the Wild Card round. Arizona then traveled to Carolina where they faced the heavily favored Panthers but came away with a stunning 33-13 victory. The Cards returned home the following week to host the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game and won their first-ever NFC title by defeating the Eagles 32-25. The victory also secured a date with Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLIII from Tampa. Before what was then the largest audience in US television history, the Cardinals fell to the Steelers 27-23. Down 20-7 entering the fourth quarter, Arizona made the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, with a 64-yard TD pass from Kurt Warner to Larry Fitzgerald giving the Cards a 23-20 lead with under 3:00 remaining. Pittsburgh responded with a 78-yard drive that ended with Santonio Holmes tip-toe TD reception and the games deciding score in one of the most exciting Super Bowls ever played.

KICKOFF RETURNS
Though a 31 start looks promising, the Cards win only two of their final 12 contests to finish 511, spelling the end of Jim Hanifans six-year (198085) tenure as head coach with former all-pro RB Ottis Anderson injured, RB Stump Mitchell averages 96.9 yards rushing in final nine games en route to 1,006 yards and a 5.5yard average per carry despite starting just eight contests QB Neil Lomax is sacked NFC-high 61 times Yugoslavian K Novo Bojovic, signed by the Cards during mid-season, kicks a 40-yard field goal to give the Cards a 30 first-quarter lead Nov. 24 vs. N.Y. Giants, chases down the football, spikes it in the end zone, then watches with teammates as Giants score 34 unanswered points in 343 defeat at the Meadowlands.

Encouragement from 40 preseason record and 20 start to regular season quickly dissipates as Cards drop 12 of next 14 games to finish 412, the most losses in franchise history QB Timm Rosenbach suffers ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in right knee in non-contact drill during evening practice Aug. 21 and misses season after reconstructive surgery Cards gamble in first round of NFL Draft by selecting DT Eric Swann despite no college playing experience little-known Southern University walk-on CB Aeneas Williams, picked in third round, starts 15 of 16 games and his six interceptions share NFC lead, making him the first rookie cornerback to achieve the feat since the Cowboys Everson Walls (11) in 1991 LB Eric Hill returns a fumble 85 yards for a touchdown in season-opener at L.A. Rams Sept. 1, one of a team-record five Card fumble recoveries.

Despite considerable improvement on both offense and defense, Cards lose six games by six points or less to post a second consecutive 412 season defense allows fewest rushing yards (1,635) in 24 seasons (1,558, 1968) and fewest points (332) since 1978 (296) CB Robert Massey becomes 17th player in NFL history to return two interceptions for touchdowns in one game (31 and 41 yards in fourth quarter Oct. 4 vs. Washington) Pro Bowl P Rich Camarillo narrowly misses becoming the first player in NFL history to achieve a 40-yard net punting average with a 39.6-yard net mark.

A 53 record and three consecutive victories to finish season 79 are not enough to save Head Coach Joe Bugels job rushing offense improves from 26th (1992) to sixth overall and scoring jumps from 24th to fourth defensively, six opponents held to 10 points or less, a Cardinal first since 1936 first-round draft pick RB Garrison Hearst suffers seasonending knee injury in sixth game Pittsburg (Kan.) State rookie RB Ronald Moore rushes for 1,018 yards and leads all NFL rookies with nine touchdowns Moore becomes only fifth rookie in NFL history to tally four rushing touchdowns in one game (vs. L.A. Rams, Dec. 5) franchise-record crowd of 73,025 sees Cards lose 1710 to Dallas on Sept. 19 Cards snap 14-game losing streak at R.F.K.

Teams first season under head coach Dennis Green was one of transition but also promise and opportunityteam entered week 16 of the regular season with a playoff berth and division title in reach before a three-point road loss at Seattle ended postseason hopesCardinals won two games by 24 points (something that theyd not done in over a decade) and also finished 5-3 at home for the first time since last playoff season of 1998strategic but aggressive approach to free agency yielded several new starters, most notably DE Bertrand Berry who would prove to become the best free agent pick-up in team history by leading the NFC in sacks (14.5) and earning his first career Pro Bowl berth.an outstanding 04 draft class produced four full-time starters in WR Larry Fitzgerald, LB Karlos Dansby, DT Darnell Dockett and C Alex Stepanovich defense improved its overall rank from 26th at the end of 03 to 12th and didnt allow a touchdown in three games while allowing just one TD in three others the offense was bitten early by injuries as RB Marcel Shipp suffered a broken leg in training camp that ended his season and all-pro WR Anquan Boldin suffered a training camp knee injury that caused him to miss the regular seasons first six games. in his second season in Arizona, Emmitt Smith led the team with 937 rushing yards and 9 rushing TDsthe offense struggled to find consistency and that led to numerous lineup changes throughout the year including three different starting QBs....S Pat Tillman, who left the Cardinals to join U.S. Army and enter Army Ranger training prior to 2002 season, is killed April 22 in Afghanistan.

FLEX SCHEDULING
In 2013, the NFL will play its eighth season under its flexible scheduling format, which provides the best match-ups to fans across the nation for the final seven Sunday night games on NBC. For the 2013 season, flexible scheduling will occur in Weeks 11-17. Please note the schedule and tickets for the affected home games list a start time currently of 2:05 or 2:25 p.m. Arizona time (MST). Twelve days before each flex week or as few as six days in Week 17 - the NFL will decide and announce the game being moved to 6:30 p.m. MST and also may announce games moving to 2:25 p.m. MST. For the Cardinals, this means that every home game after the November 10 contest vs. Houston is subject to flexible scheduling. The Arizona Cardinals will post all information regarding game times at www.azcardinals.com. We also recommend you check your local newspaper and media outlets for additional information regarding scheduled game times.
In-Game Procedures
4) If a game starts with the roof open, it shall be closed at any time due to the development or anticipation of a hazardous condition that threatens the welfare of participants and/or spectators. The game Referee, in consultation with the highest-ranking League official working at the game, after receiving input from the Stadium Manager, will decide if the roof should be closed. If the roof is closed pursuant to the above, it must remain closed for the duration of the game. Play may continue while the roof is being closed, subject to the Referee suspending play pursuant to the procedures for emergency situations. 5) If a game starts with the roof open, it shall be closed at any time up to the last five minutes of the fourth period if it begins to rain. The decision to close the roof will be made by the Referee, who will signal to the Stadium Manager or otherwise communicate to him or her to begin closing the roof. Play will continue while the roof is closing. 6) If the fourth period ends with the roof in the open position, no change will be made prior to or during an overtime period, unless the roof is closed pursuant to the procedures for hazardous conditions as set forth in No. 4 above.
General Policy
One and one-half hours prior to kickoff, the home team will have the authority to determine if the roof should be open or closed for the game. The home club may choose to open the roof for some games and not for others.

Since 2008, University of Phoenix has teamed up with hometown energy provider Salt River Project (SRP) to power every Arizona Cardinals home game with 100 percent renewable energy. The Arizona Cardinals are one of only a handful NFL teams to play in a green-powered facility the last five years. For all eight home games and both preseason home contests, 95,000 kilowatt-hours of renewable energy purchased by University of Phoenix offsets electricity used in the stadium -- from the concession stands to the parking lot lighting to the scoreboards. This amount of electricity is comparable to what 60 average homes in Phoenix will use in one month. University of Phoenix Stadiums green efforts started in early 2008, with the electricity needed to power Super Bowl XLII and the NFL Experience generated from 100 percent renewable energy resources through SRPs EarthWise Program. Additionally, University of Phoenix purchased renewable energy credits to power the Cardinals home game versus the San Francisco 49ers on November 11, 2008.

In August of 2011, the Arizona Cardinals, Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Josephs Hospital and Medical Center, and the Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) announced a major breakthrough in concussion prevention and research that immediately affected more than 100,000 Arizona student athletes. Arizona became the first state to mandate all student athletes undergo concussion education and pass a formal test before play through a new program specifically geared toward students. Arizona ranked second in the nation for traumatic brain injury, and previously, there had never been a mandated education and testing program designed for student athletes to teach them about the dangerous effects of concussions. The program, designed by AIA, Barrow and the Arizona Cardinals, is changing the face of high school sports in Arizona. There are approximately three million sports-related concussions nationally each year, says Javier Crdenas, MD, neurologist at Barrow, who has taken a state-wide lead in concussion prevention. Players recognizing the signs and symptoms of concussion can prevent death and disability. All student athletes through the AIA receive their concussion education through Brainbook, an interactive online site created by Barrow and Arizona State University. Designed to look like a social media site, the students are taken through a series of educational content, activities and videos. At the end of the module, the students are required to pass a formal exam before being cleared to play. The module is the first collaborative educational effort between a pro football team, a hospital, and an interscholastic agency. Brainbook is currently being evaluated for implementation in other states throughout the nation. In addition to the education program, Barrow has received a $250,000 grant from the Maddock Foundation to develop a research registry which will track concussed student athletes. This will be a powerful tool for Barrow neurologists and researchers to make never-before-known insights into the long-term effects of concussion.
The Cardinals were based in St. Louis from 1960 to 1987 before heading west to Arizona. The Rams relocated to St. Louis from Los Angeles in 1995.

Cant played with the Cardinals for two seasons (2005- 06), and during the 2005 season, he became the first Mexican born player non-kicker to ever take the field in an NFL regular season game. In addition to his broadcast duties, Cant is also the teams Manager of International Business Affairs. The Cardinals broadcast in Spanish airs locally on Jos 107.1 FM. In 2008, the Cardinals expanded the content of their game broadcasts with Conteo Progresivo a one-hour Spanish language pre-game show hosted by Trujillo and Cant. In 2012, the pre-game show was again expanded to further offer insight into the next opponent with Primera Y Diez (First and Ten), the one hour Spanish language program. The Spanish broadcast team will be back on the web as they return for Al Cronmetro (On The Clock) a Spanish language web-show that recaps the last game and looks ahead at the next opponent. For the sixth straight season, the Cardinals will bring the Spanish language broadcast to fans in Mexico. The team has partnered with Larsa Comunicaciones (Larsa Communications Group), the leading radio network in northern Mexico to bring the broadcast to 26 stations in 18 cities throughout Mexico, including Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, Hermosillo and Mexico City.
