- Big Red Rage - How a 2003 Cardinals Miracle Cleared the Path for Larry Fitzgerald’s Arrival in ArizonaEp. 749 - The final game of the 2003 season against the Vikings was supposed to be a formality for the Cardinals. However, it turned into one of the most consequential moments in franchise history. Paul Calvisi and Darren Urban recount how an obscure Cardinals receiver made the biggest play of his life, winning the game in the finals seconds while sending shockwaves through three NFL cities. That single catch by Nathan Poole pushed the Packers into the playoffs, broke the hearts of Vikings fans, cost the Cardinals the top pick in the 2004 NFL Draft, and ultimately reshaped the top of the draft itself. What followed months later would forever alter the trajectory of the Cardinals organization.
