TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals’ season turned around on a blocked field goal and a 99-yard punt return. On Nov. 6, Calais Campbell knocked down what would have been the winning field goal for St. Louis, then rookie Patrick Peterson returned a punt from a step outside his goal line for the winning score in overtime. The Cardinals’ six-game skid was history. Three more overtime victories followed, capped by the 23-20 win over Seattle on Sunday. Arizona finished with a 7-2 spurt — a record only surpassed in that span by Green Bay, New Orleans and New England –and wound up 8-8 overall. Not great, not enough to make the playoffs, but enough to provide momentum and optimism heading into 2012. What are your opinions. Posted in cardinals-news | Comments Off
