FOR BILLS FANS WATCHING THE GAME IN THE BUFFALO AREA:
Remember you will need to bust out the rabbit ears for this one if you have Time Warner Cable. With the local CBS channel being pulled off the air for the time being you will have to unplug your cable from the back of your TV and then plug in the antenna. The quality for this game won’t be too great though seeing as it is coming over the air. Try to find a friends house with satellite, as they will not be affected by this.
Game Notes:
- The Bills have won four consecutive games against the Cardinals and lead the all-time series, 5-3.
- Quarterback Trent Edwards is only the second Bills quarterback to win three consecutive games after trailing in the fourth quarter
- Bills defensive tackle Marcus Stroud leads all NFL defensive linemen with four passes defensed. He is questionable in this game.
- Following a loss at Washington in Week 3, the Cardinals spent the week leading up to their game at Buffalo on the East Coast in order to avoid traveling across three time zones in consecutive weeks. Arizona was 2-0 before losing both games on the road trip.
- Steve Breaston will have to step up his game because Boldin can’t go. Breaston was one of three receivers for the Cardinals with 100-plus receiving yards against the Jets.
- The Bills have scored 45 fourth-quarter points this season
- Buffalo hasn’t had a 5-0 start since 1991.
- Larry Fitzgerald reached 350 receptions in his career in only his 64th game, the third fastest in NFL history. Only Boldin (58) and Lionel Taylor (63) were faster.
- The Line: The Cardinals are favored by 1. Over/Under 44.5.

Quote of the Week:
“It’s exciting. I feel like we’ve come a long way. Working together this offseason and through these four games, I feel like we’ve developed something that I think this organization respects and seeing that, I think they’re rewarding a very valuable commodity to this team.”
