Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt says there is no reason to even address a potential decision at quarterback as long as Kevin Kolb is injured.

Backup John Skelton has had two uneven performances, but they were both victories. On Sunday, he led Arizona to a 2117 win in Philadelphia, where the big secondyear pro overcame two interceptions to direct three long drives that each ended with a touchdown pass.

Kolb was acquired in a trade with Philadelphia and signed to a fiveyear, $63 million contract $21 million guaranteed as Arizona's quarterback of the future. The game in which he was injured was Arizona's sixth loss in a row, and Kolb has not practiced for two weeks.

The Cardinals (36) play at the NFC West's runaway leader San Francisco (81) next Sunday.

"Kevin is doing everything he can to get healthy again and get back on the field,'' Skelton told the NFL Network on Monday. "He's a competitor and he wants to be out there just as bad as anyone. That's not for me to say or me to speculate about. It's really up to the coaching staff. I'm sure if Kevin's healthy, he'll be able to go.''

After he had addressed a similar question, Whisenhunt was asked directly Monday if there was a chance Skelton would get the start even if Kolb was healthy.

"I know that you're going to try to ask this question a bunch of times,'' he said. "I understand that. I understand the point of discussion. Where we are right now, it doesn't matter. Until we get Kevin back out there and practicing and we can assess where he is after having missed a couple of weeks, you can't even talk about that, to be Michael Bush Authentic Jersey honest with you.''

Skelton had an interception returned for a touchdown and another pick set up a field goal. But after each interception, the Cardinals answered with long touchdown drives. On thirdandgoal at the Eagles 5yard line, Skelton threw a touchdown pass to Early Doucet for the gamewinner with 1:53 to play.

The victory snapped an 11game road losing streak dating to the 2010 season opener at St. Louis. Arizona hadn't won on the East Coast since beating the New York Giants two years ago.

A week ago in the Cardinals' overtime home win over St. Louis, Skelton was responsible for two safeties, then led his team on an 84yard fourthquarter touchdown drive to tie the game.

Skelton, who gave the defense the lion's share of the credit at Philadelphia, said a quarterback just has to forget it when things go badly. After his interception allowed the goahead field goal for the Eagles, Skelton directed an 11play, 89yard TD drive that included a fourthandtwo firstdown pass to LaRod StephensHowling and a spectacular catch by Larry Fitzgerald to the Philadelphia 1.

"You can't dwell on the past,'' Skelton said. "You can have three bad quarters but http://www.footballbearsstore.com ultimately when your down in the nitty gritty of everything you have to be able to push that out of your mind and focus on the task Michael Bush Black Jersey at hand. '

Skelton completed 21 of 40 for 313 yards and three touchdowns, with his two interceptions. Two of the scoring passes were to Fitzgerald, whose 70 TDs for his career to pass Roy Green for the franchise record. Fitzgerald caught seven for 146 yards.

Skelton is 42 as a starter, but this was his first road win. He started the final four games last season.

"Last year, even when he hadn't even really had any training camp reps and we threw him in there in the last four games, he appeared poised. He just didn't have any idea of what he was doing, where to go http://www.footballbearsstore.com/22_matt_forte_jersey_authentic_black_limited_cheap.html with it,'' Whisenhunt said.

Now he has an understanding of the offense, the coach said.

" Some of the throws that he misses, you see him be upset because his footwork or his technique was bad when he knew he was anticipating something,'' Whisenhunt said. "But the one thing I'll say about John is whenever you bounce back from something bad, like he did a couple of times yesterday, he led long drives and made some big plays in those drives, it says a lot about the mental toughness of that player. That's a great quality to have at that position. You have to have it.''

Your VoiceThis is it. The last game of the season for both the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals takes place on Sunday, Jan. 1. It only fitting that this game will decide which team finishes second in the NFC West with an 88 record Matt Forte Authentic Jersey and which team finishes with a losing record for http://www.footballbearsstore.com/55_lance_briggs_jersey_authentic_black_limited_cheap.html the year at 79. Through the first 16 weeks of the NFL season the Seahawks and Cardinals have played to identical 78 records, coincidentally with both teams getting eliminated from postseason contention with Week 16 losses.

The losing team from this game will benefit by getting a higher selection slot in the 2012 NFL Draft, but none of the players Matt Forte Black Jersey taking the field are thinking about the draft. Instead, all thoughts are on proving what they can do one last time this season. Some players, like Seahawks quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, are trying to prove that they belong as starters. Other players, like Seahawks receiver Deon Butler, are trying to show the coaches that they have something to offer the team.

It hard not to call this a disappointing season for both teams, as Arizona was supposed to fly high with Kevin Kolb at quarterback and Seattle was supposed to improve from the 79 record that won the NFC West last year. In the case of the Seahawks, the team is much better than a year ago, even if the young parts http://www.footballbearsstore.com didn gel enough to get into the postseason. This is a roster that will definitely contend in 2012 if the team can draft well and plug in the holes on offense and defense. Arizona fans think they have a bright future with Patrick Peterson on the roster, but that team also needs some good draft selections.

Back in Week 3 of the season, Seattle beat Arizona 1310 at CenturyLink Field. Jackson threw for 171 yards and an interception, while Kolb threw for 252 yards, a touchdown and 2 interceptions. The Seahawks touchdown came on an 11yard touchdown run from Jackson midway through the third quarter and it would turn out as the last time one of the teams would score. The Seahawks managed just 261 total yards, but made the stops on defense when the game was on the line. Marcus Trufant (now on injuredreserve) and Kam Chancellor each had an interception in the secondary.
