The Arizona Cardinals left University of Phoenix Stadium Sunday afternoon with a big win over the Miami Dolphins and, better yet, a 4-0 record. Much of that was made possible because of the play of wide receiver Andre Roberts. Roberts has flown under the radar since being taken in the third round in 2010 draft […]
Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb both giveth and taketh away. He threw three touchdowns on the afternoon, one of which was a game-tying dart to Andre Roberts with less than 30 seconds remaining in the game. He also threw an interception in the end zone, which directly led to the […]
When he spoke the words, Ken Whisenhunt did it with such certitude; it could convince even the most skeptical of souls: “It’s not luck…it can’t be luck.” Clearly the coach subscribes to Ralph Waldo Emerson (“Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.”) and not Donald Trump (“Everything in life is […]
The Arizona Cardinals blew a game they had no business winning Sunday in Glendale. Outplayed for the majority of the game, Arizona had a chance to possibly put things away with less than 7 minutes left. Up one with the ball at the Miami two yard line, the Cardinals faced a second and goal. Quarterback […]
The Arizona Cardinals are 4-0 — thanks and no thanks to Kevin Kolb. On one hand Kolb was awful, throwing two bad interceptions, including a dreadful decision while going for the kill-shot in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals were facing a second and goal from inside the Dolphins five-yard line when Kolb rolled to his […]
GLENDALE — Here I sit in the press box at University of Phoenix Stadium following the Arizona Cardinals’ latest “let’s give ’em a show” victory. Despite trailing 13-0 at halftime, not being able to run the football or protect their quarterback, committing an unbelievably untimely turnover and generally getting outplayed in every phase of the […]
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won’t tell you everything that happened in a football game. So, we will give you Bird Bits providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Cardinals’ 24-21 overtime win over the Miami Dolphins..Final Score: Cardinals 24, Dolphins […]
September 30, 2012: Cardinals inactives For just the second time in his NFL career, Darnell Dockett will not suit up for a game on Sunday. He’s inactive—which is not a surprise after he did not practice once this week because of a hamstring injury. Dockett has missed one other game in his nine-year career: November […]
The Arizona Cardinals enter unfamiliar territory Sunday. For the first time since 1974, the Redbirds are 3-0 to start a season. They sit atop the NFC West division and are starting to get noticed around the league. Sunday’s test at home against a 1-2 Dolphins team is just as difficult as the three that came […]
The Arizona Cardinals are 3-0 for the first time since 1974, and they’re looking to improve to 4-0 for the first time since…1974. In their way are the 1-2 Miami Dolphins, who come to town with a rookie quarterback and great running game. Will the Cardinals remain perfect in 2012, or will the visitors pull […]
Our own Ron Wolfley, co-host of the Doug & Wolf Show on Arizona Sports 620, is also the color commentator for the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network. Each week, Wolf pores over game film for the Cardinals’ next opponent, and makes notes for the broadcast. This season, Wolf has been kind enough to let ArizonaSports.com readers […]
Arizona Cardinals center Lyle Sendlein likes the fact that his team has shown a commitment to running the football. “At this point, we are committed to the run and I think that is part of the reason we are having success,” Sendlein told Arizona Sports 602’s Doug and Wolf. Through the first three games, Arizona […]
It doesn’t look good for Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett to be on the field Sunday against the Miami Dolphins at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale. Dockett left last Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a hamstring injury and hasn’t practiced at all this week. When the Friday injury report was released, […]
Kevin Kolb has led the Cardinals to three wins this season, but it was Sunday’s tilt with the Eagles that really changed perception. In that game Kolb went from simply a caretaker QB to one who was making plays, ultimately completing 17-of-24 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns. “He played a rock-solid game against […]

As impressive as the Arizona Cardinals’ defense has played this season, defensive coordinator Ray Horton is not ready to give the unit a good grade yet. “For me it’s an incomplete, meaning we have a lot of things on the table,” Horton said. “We are striving to be as good as we can be, and […]
It is not every day you have football fans closely following the status of an expected baby, but that is exactly what you had this week for the Arizona Cardinals. After announcing that he would miss the upcoming game to be with his wife if she was in labor, quarterback Kevin Kolb’s wife, Whitney, has […]
With starter Anthony Sherman still limited in practice, the Cardinals have re-signed fullback Reagan Maui’a to create more depth at the position. Maui’a, who was on the preseason roster before being released on August 24, appeared in three games for the Cardinals last season and 15 the previous year. Since being drafted in 2007 by […]
The Arizona Cardinals’ defense has led the way during the team’s impressive 3-0 start. After smothering the offenses of the Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles, the Cardinals defense has become the talk of the league. But to Cardinals safety Kerry Rhodes and the rest of the team, they still have a ways […]
Injuries are part of football. Teams that are in the best shape to withstand injuries to key players on their team often are the ones that excel and challenge for the championship. The Arizona Cardinals suffered a significant setback last week in their win over the Philadelphia Eagles when running back Beanie Wells went down […]
To NFL Fans: The National Football League is at its best when the focus is on the players and the action on the field, not on labor negotiations. All of us who love the sport appreciate the skills and dedication of the players and coaches. That is why we are focused not just on what […]
What a difference a month makes for the Cardinals’ Kevin Kolb. At this time in August, Kolb was on the losing end of the starting quarterback competition with John Skelton. He was being booed every time he hit the field, even in preseason. He had become a common punch line for every talking head around […]
Despite only playing in three career games, Ryan Tannehill has already made quite a name for himself in the NFL. The problem for the No. 8 overall pick out Texas A&M in 2012, is that most of his notoriety stems from topics off the field. From his very public wife to his starring role in […]
The Arizona Cardinals are off to their best start in franchise history since 1974. Their defense has stifled opposing offenses led by the likes of Tom Brady and Michael Vick, to the tune of the second best points per game (13.3) average in the league. Kevin Kolb, their once-beleaguered quarterback, is showing signs of the […]
Late Wednesday night, the lockout of the NFL officials ended, putting an end to the “replacement ref experiment” that became an increasingly bigger black eye on the league with each passing game. The regular officials, with a new eight-year collective bargaining agreement signed, will be back on the field in time for Week 4 contests, […]
As a member of the Arizona Cardinals, Karlos Dansby developed the reputation of being one of the NFL’s most elite playmakers. In his first six NFL seasons with the team, Dansby had 10 fumble recoveries and 11 interceptions, including one against Ben Roethlisberger in a Super Bowl loss to Pittsburgh. This production was enough to […]
The Arizona Cardinals have sold out their Week 4 matchup this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, marking the 68th consecutive sellout for the team. Including the preseason and postseason, the Cardinals have sold out every home game since moving to the University of Phoenix Stadium in August 2006. There will be a limited supply of […]
It may be time to accept a new reality. While we knew these were no longer our father’s Arizona Cardinals, it was still fairly easy to dismiss them as anything more than a nice team with some good players. If the Cardinals take care of business Sunday and beat the Miami Dolphins at University of […]
