Neither the Pittsburgh Steelers nor the Arizona Cardinals has given a performance that could be called perfect for this season, but both teams managed to achieve other teams have not achieved by so far of this season: they beat the Vikings.
With a 6-0 start, the Vikings lost their first regular-season game to the Steelers, but they soon cleared doubt about their future by winning four consecutive games, but (but again) the Cardinals did not allow them to continue with the winning streak. Kurt Warner made it to 22 of 32 with no interceptions and no sacks, while the guy wearing his No. 4 Brett Favre jersey was picked off twice and sacked three times.
Hard to say which team surprised us more. The Vikings has kept their power rank at No. 3 following the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints for weeks, but they failed. The Cardinals lost last week’s game to 3-6 Tennessee Titans when they were still 7-3 and caused many to think that they would begin a loss streak when encountering the Vikings, but the team won.
The Vikings may win again in next game, and the Cardinals may lose again, but for now, Cardinals fans should cheer loudly for their beloved team for they really have done a good job.

US Arena League to return in 2010
After scrapping its 2009 season, the Arena Football will be back in 2010. The indoor version of the American gridiron game has had 22 games and has 16 teams after the original league folded last month over financial issues.
The 16 teams come from 16 cities: Orlando, Chicago, Phoenix, Des Moines, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Utah, Arkansas, Alabama, Milwaukee, Kentucky, and Fresno, Jacksonville, Louisiana and the Spokane and Tri-Cities areas of Washington State. Orlando, Chicago and Phoenix were among the original Arena Football League cities, and New York and Dallas were removed from the league.
Sometimes great players can be discovered in the Arena Football. An good example is the Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner, who won a Super Bowl with the St. Louis Rams in 1999 season and led the 2008 Arizona Cardinals to Super Bowl XLIII.
