Baltimore Ravens 26, Arizona Cardinals 23
The Arizona Cardinals got beat in all three phases of this football game and they almost came back and won the game after Coach Whisenhurt replaced QB Matt Leinart with Kurt Warner. Warner was outstanding as he was 15 for 20 passing for 258 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 interceptions. Matt Leinart had a rough time as he only completed 9 of 20 passes for 53 yards with 0 TDs and 0 INTs. RB Edgerrin James ran well carrying the ball 10 times for 57 yards (5.7 ypc) but the Cards had to abandon the running game after they fell behind. Anquan Boldin was outstanding as he caught 14 passes for 181 yards (12.9 avg) with 2 TD grabs. Larry Fitzgerald also had a good game with 5 catches for 85 yards (17.0 avg). The Cardinals finished up with 61 yards rushing on 14 carries (4.4 ypc) and they completed 24 of 40 passes for 303 yards.
Adrian Wilson (12 tackles), Gerald Hayes (11 tackles) and Karlos Dansby (7 tackles, 2 sacks) all had good games for the Cards defense. But, they allowed way too many yards. The Ravens rushed for 129 yards on 30 carries (4.3 ypc) and they completed 28 of 37 passes for 252 yards. The Cards also had trouble on special teams as rookie Yamon Figurs returned a punt 75-yards for a TD!
