Kevin Kolb’s struggles this season have been well documented, but you’d have to think a sterling second half in a win over the Cowboys would improve his standing among the national media. Think again. Sports Illustrated’s Jim Trotter ranks the NFL’s signal callers on a weekly basis, and Arizona’s QB comes in at 28, ahead […]

There’s no other way to slice it; the San Francisco 49ers have the Arizona Cardinals’ number. The Niners, who have already clinched the NFC West title, have defeated the Cardinals the last five times they’ve played, including a 23-7 decision last month in San Francisco. Over the last few years, there has been an increase […]
Here’s a shocker: Beanie Wells wants the ball. The running back, who is in the midst of a career season, has rushed the ball 201 times, good for an average of 18.3 times per game. Some think that’s not enough, but the player deferred to his coaches when it comes to how big his workload […]
It can be easy to overlook Cardinals running back LaRod Stephens-Howling. He is the kickoff return specialist on a team that has a rookie returning punts for touchdowns at record pace, he is a running back behind Beanie Wells, who is having a career season, and he is a coverage blocker on the punt return […]
All season long Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt has said with a new defensive scheme installed, the unit needs more time before passing judgment. Since Week 9 the Cardinals have won four out of their last five games, mainly due to the improved defensive play. “I think everybody is so quick to forget that we […]
The Cardinals and 49ers square off for the second time Sunday, and this time around things will be different. The 49ers entered the November 20th meeting with a 9-1 record, and beat the Cards 23-7 while forcing quarterback John Skelton to have a QB rating of 10.5. However, Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt believes his […]
Entering Sunday, the biggest knock against the Cardinals this season was that none came against playoff teams. That’s no longer the case. The Cardinals beat the Cowboys 19-13 in overtime, improving their record to 5-7 this season. On Sunday the Cards looked like the team many expected to see at the beginning of the season. […]
If you’re an opposing kicker with a chance to win the game in the final seconds you probably expect a timeout to be called, to supposedly “ice you.” That’s what took place Sunday, except it wasn’t the opposing team calling the timeout. Dallas Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey made a 49 yard field goal to all […]
Winning football games is always enjoyable, but beating the Dallas Cowboys is…umm…extra nice. Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb said he didn’t think it would be before the game, but once he walked off the field a winner? “Absolutely,” he said. “All my friends probably had Dallas jerseys on. They’re die-hard, so I’ll be happy to slap […]
The Arizona Cardinals have been winners in four of their last five games to improve their record to a respectable 5-7. There have been many keys to the recent surge: Patrick Peterson’s electrifying punt returns, Beanie Wells’ hard- nosed running and clutch plays from quarterbacks John Skelton and Kevin Kolb at opportune times. But the […]
Icing the kicker. A time-honored tradition that involves calling a timeout before an opposing kicker attempts a big field goal. You know, an opportunity to let the kicker think about the enormity of what he’s about to attempt, and inevitably botch it. That tradition does not include climbing in the head of your own kicker […]
The Cardinals beat the Cowboys 19-13 Sunday in front of a sold out crowd at University of Phoenix Stadium. Whether the majority of fans were wearing blue and silver or Cardinal red is up for debate. Either way, it was the Cardinals fans that left the building smiling ear-to- ear after a LaRod Stephens-Howling touchdown […]
Kevin Kolb entered the game 1-6 as a starter for a team that won three of four in his absence. After 30 minutes of football, Kolb had led the Cardinals to just three points while completing 7 of 11 passes for just 44 yards, numbers that are anything but inspiring. But then the second half […]
When Steve Breaston opted to sign a free agent contract with the Kansas City Chiefs this past preseason, there was a lot of talk about the Arizona Cardinals needing to go out and sign a veteran receiver to flank Larry Fitzgerald. Seemingly every day, there was a new name churning through the rumor mill with […]
GLENDALE, AZ — Kevin Kolb hit LaRod Stephens-Howling on a 52-yard touchdown pass in the first possession of overtime to lift the Arizona Cardinals to a 19-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys at University of Phoenix Stadium. The Cardinals won the coin toss and got the ball first in overtime. On 2nd down and 19, […]
The Arizona Cardinals, winners of three of their last four contests, return home from a three-game road trip to host the red-hot Dallas Cowboys at University of Phoenix Stadium on Sunday.

The defense has been a work in progress under new coordinator Ray Horton this season, but with each week you can see their confidence growing along with their scheme. “I have now supreme confidence now to call anything on my list where really if you go back to the Seattle game, which is week three, […]
The Cardinals and Cowboys renew their long rivalry Sunday, one that dates back further than most fans remember. The Cards and ‘Boys started playing when there was still two football leagues, the AFL and NFL. The first meeting between the two teams took place on October 23, 1960 with the St. Louis Cardinals winning 12-10. […]

The Cowboys have won four straight games and lead the NFC East with a 7-4 mark, with an offense that has been racking up the points. Will the Cardinals come out on top? Let us know what you think […]
In his third NFL season, Beanie Wells is running like the type of back the Cardinals were expecting when they took him in the first round of the 2009 NFL draft. After Wells’ struggles with injuries and running the ball last season, some were starting to worry the former Ohio State star would never develop. […]
Kevin Kolb will probably start Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. The quarterback, who has missed the last four games due to various ailments, has taken the starter’s share of reps in practice this week, and seems to be good to go. However, head coach Ken Whisenhunt isn’t ready name Kolb the starter…yet. “I’d like to […]
Whisenhunt Says Mindset is the Difference With Beanie Everyone can agree that Chris “Beanie” Wells looks like a different running back this year. In eleven weeks he has 849 yards on 181 attempts, and he’s averaging 4.7 yards per carry with eight touchdowns. He’s running like a man possessed…something we didn’t see from Wells last […]
If Patrick Peterson didn’t have every team’s attention before, he most certainly has it now. “It’s pretty apparent how good a player he is,” said head coach Jason Garrett, whose Dallas Cowboys team is next in line charged with the task of defending the NFL’s top punt returner (in terms of total yards). “It’s a […]
The Cardinals and defensive end Darnell Dockett are ready for the Cowboys to come to town this weekend but they’re not ready for a history lesson… even if it’s a good one. When asked about the team’s recent success against Dallas, Dockett wanted none of it. “Doesn’t mean anything. Different team, different records, different atmosphere, […]
Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson leads the league in punt returns for touchdowns. Through Week 12 though, teams continue to kick it to him. “Guys have egos and pride,” Peterson said. “They may want to see it for themselves, so like I said if they kick it to me I just have to make them pay.” […]
The Arizona Cardinals are out of the playoff picture but they still have opportunities to disrupt other teams’ playoff hopes.

Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb announced that he expects to start against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

PHOENIX – Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb expects to return to the field on Sunday against the Cowboys. “I feel really good. It was good to get back in the action.
