In March of 2005, the Arizona Cardinals made a significant signing.
Although many people didn’t believe it would be that big of a deal at the time, two-time league MVP Kurt Warner canceled a visit with the Detroit Lions and signed a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals.
After some phenomenal seasons in St. Louis, the Rams showed Warner the door in 2004 with three years left on his contract. He’d ink a one-year contract with the New York Giants, and eventually lost his starting job to the team’s first overall draft pick, Eli Manning.
So, people weren’t universally jumping out of their seats to laud the Cardinals on the acquisition.
Of course, now we can look back on Warner’s stay in Arizona, which eventually led to back-to-back NFC West Division championships and an improbable run to the Super Bowl in the 2008 season.
In his time in Arizona, Warner threw 100 touchdown passes to 18 different players. Guess what? That’s your Trivia Tuesday assignment this week — name all 18.
We’ve given you the number of touchdowns and the position each TD scorer played — all you have to do is name the player. We’re looking only for players who caught scoring passes from Warner in the regular season.
You’ve got six minutes on the clock, and if you don’t get them all, don’t fret — this is a really difficult quiz.
Good luck!
