NFL analyst Ron Jaworski was on with Arizona Sports 620’s Gambo and Burns and agreed that the Cardinals have one of the best defenses in the NFL. “You see tremendous energy and that […]
After barely beating the Seattle Seahawks in their season opener, not many football fans gave the Arizona Cardinals a chance against the New England Patriots. After all, the Patriots were playing at home, a place visiting teams rarely look competitive let alone win. The Cardinals were all but written off. Then the unthinkable happened. Patriots’ […]
According to various reports out of Philadelphia, the Eagles will be without the services of wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and left tackle King Dunlap during Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals. Dunlap injured his hamstring in last Sunday’s win over Baltimore, while Maclin hurt his hip in the season opener against the Browns but re-injured […]
Ken Whisenhunt doesn’t believe in letting a player lose his starting job due to injury. He does, however, believe in letting the best player play. Period. With John Skelton getting back on the practice field it would seem he’s getting closer to being able to play again, meaning the Cardinals will have a decision on […]
The Arizona Cardinals are coming off arguably their best regular season win in years, a 20-18 victory over the New England Patriots in Foxborough.

You may think you know football, but there’s no way you could have predicted that Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald would conduct a symphony orchestra before he’d score a touchdown this season.

Long thought to be the proverbial punching bag of the National Football League, the NFC West division is starting to turn heads, especially after a 4-0 performance in Week 2. Heading into Week 3, there are only six remaining undefeated teams. The NFL West is the only division to boast two of them — the […]
Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has five catches for 67 yards in two games this season. A perennial Pro Bowler, Fitz often times puts up those numbers in just a half of football. The Cardinals have struggled to get their star the football through two games this season, especially in the 20-18 win over New […]
John Skelton returned to practice Thursday.

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 […]
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was Patrick Peterson before Patrick Peterson was an Arizona Cardinal. A young, fast cornerback who was supposed to become the shut-down defender every team covets. At first it seemed like that would be the case. DRC picked off four passes as a rookie in the regular season — along with another two in […]
After taking longer than expected to adjust to a new team and offense, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb looks to continue his on-field success against his old team and coach this Sunday in Glendale. Kolb was groomed to be the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback of the future after they took him the second round of the […]
When the Arizona Cardinals acquired Kevin Kolb from the Philadelphia Eagles, they thought they were getting their franchise quarterback of the future. While Kolb’s time in the desert has been rocky, to say the least, the 28-year-old is hoping to continue his road to redemption when he faces his former team on Sunday. If he’s […]

We asked Cardinals fans a simple question based off an article based off an observation about the Cardinals game against the Patriots. “How would you grade Kevin Kolb’s performance? The question came up because the fine folks over at ProFootballFocus.com were somewhat critical of how the Cards QB played in the 20-18 win over the […]
September 19, 2012: Behind Enemy Lines Michael Vick leads the NFL’s top-rated offense into University of Phoenix Stadium this week. The 471-yards per game average is even more impressive considering the Eagles have turned it over nine times, including six interceptions. Philadelphia is the third team in the Super Bowl era to start 2-0 despite […]
After a 20-18 upset at New England, the Arizona Cardinals return home to face the Philadelphia Eagles and welcome back their former star Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie this Sunday.

Now in his 14th year in Philadelphia, he’s got the Eagles off to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2004. Reid spoke to those of us in the local media on a conference call earlier […]
There was more than a little disbelief when the Arizona Cardinals went to Gillette Stadium and beat the New England Patriots 20-18 last Sunday. The Pats were a 13.5-point favorite, and had won ten straight home openers, so something extraordinary had to have taken place for the Cardinals to win, right? Arizona defensive coordinator Ray […]
We keep seeing the highlights over and over. But after taking in the Arizona Cardinals big win (BIG, BIG win) as the sideline radio reporter who tries to stay out of the way, I keep hearing the XL victory over the Patriots. Over and over, it keeps playing in my head on a loop. Hmmm. […]
The Arizona Cardinals defense is garnering praise across the spectrum for the way they handled Tom Brady and the powerhouse New England Patriots in their stunning upset win Sunday. The man responsible for the transformation is defensive coordinator Ray Horton, who is putting together an exemplary resume for a head coaching position in the NFL, […]
Having a major role in back-to-back season opening wins over a division foe and the defending AFC champions will quiet a lot of Kevin Kolb detractors — but not all of them. ProFootballFocus.com is a website that meticulously grades players on a weekly basis, and let’s just suffice it to say that they weren’t all […]
Kevin Kolb did not get a chance to face his former team last season when the Cardinals took on the Eagles in Philadelphia. Out with a turf toe injury, Kolb could only watch as John Skelton threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns in leading the Cardinals to a 21-17 victory. Now the shoe is […]
The indelible image of Patrick Peterson from the Cardinals’ 20-18 upset victory over the Patriots on Sunday in Foxboro was undoubtedly his diving interception of a tipped Tom Brady pass on New England’s first drive of the day. It’s the kind of play that made its way onto all the highlight shows by Sunday night, […]
Kevin Kolb has now been the starting quarterback for the Cardinals exactly one time in the 2012 season and in that start, he led his team to an improbable 20-18 win over the New England Patriots. With the win, Arizona is undefeated but Kolb knows they have a long way to go. “The most important […]
The Arizona Cardinals were a 42-yard field goal away from completing an incredible collapse, one that could have set the tone for the rest of the season.

Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett and his team are riding high after a thrilling 20-18 win over the New England Patriots. Now 2-0, the Cardinals are starting to look like a playoff contender. “I just want to get into the playoffs. Last two years going home in January ain’t been cool,” Dockett said. “My […]
Larry Fitzgerald is the best player the Arizona Cardinals have on the offensive side of the ball, and one of the top receivers in the entire NFL. So, it should not be surprising that there is some concern over the team’s inability to get the ball into Number 11’s hands. Through two games, Fitzgerald has […]
Arizona Cardinals tight end Todd Heap has not played a full season since 2009. Heap left Sunday’s the game against the New England Patriots in the third quarter after suffering an a knee injury.
