Description
The story of the remarkable 2008 Arizona Cardinals is one for the ages: rising from perennial also-ran to NFC champion over the course of one unforgettable season, the Cardinals excelled thanks to the strong arm and cool head of an unlikely of hero, veteran Kurt Warner. Named the surprise starter by head coach Ken Wisenhunt at the start of the season, Warner reminded Cardinals fans why he was a two-time MVP. Supported by the spectacular pass-catching of Larry Fitzgerald and the power running of rookie Tim Hightower, Warner and the Arizona offense made believers out of the NFL as they stormed through the playoffs and punched their ticket to Tampa. Though they came up short in Super Bowl XLII against the Steelers, the Cardinals succeeded in rekindling Arizona's love for pro football. This all-new volume, packed with dynamic photos and engaging text, offers the perfect way to celebrate this exciting season.
