The 2005 Arizona Cardinals season was the franchise 's 107th season , 86th season in the National Football League and the 18th in Arizona . The team was unable to improve upon their previous season 's six wins in 2004 , and failed to make the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season . The October 2 game was the first regular season game to be played outside the United States , and was known as NFL Futbol Americano . The game was a Cardinals home game , and the Cardinals defeated their division rivals , the San Francisco 49ers , 31-14 . The Cardinals , as a team , had a paltry 1,138 rushing yards in 2005 , only 71.1 yards per game . Remarkably , the Cardinals only had one 100-yard rushing game , when they ran for 129 yards in the season finale at Indianapolis . Arizona 's season total is the fifth-fewest rushing yards by a team in a 16-game season . The Cardinals passing offense , however , led the league , with 4,437 yards . Kurt Warner 's 271.3 passing yards per game were third in the NFL , and his 24.2 pass completions per-game led the league . Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald tied for the league lead in receptions , with 103 , [ note 1 ] edging out his teammate Anquan Boldin , who had 102 ( tied for third in the NFL ) [ note 2 ] Fitzgerald 's 1,409 yards , and Boldins 1,402 yards receiving were fourth and fifth in the NFL , respectively , in 2005 . Boldins 100.1 receiving yards per game led the NFL . The season also saw the Cardinals change their logo and uniforms , which remains in use today .
Johnathon Lee Bronson ( born July 8 , 1982 ) is a former American football tight end for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League ( NFL ) . He played college football at Penn State .
The tight end ( TE ) is a position in American football , arena football , and formerly Canadian football , on the offense . The tight end is often seen as a hybrid position with the characteristics and roles of both an offensive lineman and a wide receiver . Like offensive linemen , they are usually lined up on the offensive line and are large enough to be effective blockers . On the other hand , unlike offensive linemen , they are eligible receivers adept enough to warrant a defense 's attention when running pass patterns . Because of the hybrid nature of the position , the tight end 's role in any given offense depends on the tactical preferences and philosophy of the head coach . In some systems , the tight end will merely act as a sixth offensive lineman , rarely going out for passes . Other systems use the tight end primarily as a receiver , frequently taking advantage of the tight end 's size to create mismatches in the defensive secondary . Many coaches will often have one tight end who specializes in blocking on running plays while using a tight end with better pass-catching skills in obvious passing situations . Offensive formations may have as few as zero or as many as three tight ends at one time .
The 2004 Penn State Nittany Lions football team represented the Pennsylvania State University in the 2004 NCAA Division I-A football season . The team 's head coach was Joe Paterno . It played its home games at Beaver Stadium in University Park , Pennsylvania .
The Big Ten Conference ( stylized B1G , formerly the Western Conference and the Big Nine Conference ) is the oldest Division I collegiate athletic conference in the United States . It is based in Rosemont , Illinois . For decades the conference consisted of 10 universities , while the present conference has 14 member institutions . They compete in the NCAA Division I ; its football teams compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision ( FBS ) , formerly known as Division I-A , the highest level of NCAA competition in that sport . The conference includes the flagship public university in each of 11 states stretching from New Jersey to Nebraska , as well as two additional public land-grant schools and a private university . The Big Ten Conference was established in 1895 when Purdue University president James H. Smart and representatives from the University of Chicago , University of Illinois , University of Michigan , University of Minnesota , Northwestern University , and University of Wisconsin gathered at Chicago 's Palmer House Hotel to set policies aimed at regulating intercollegiate athletics . In 1899 , Indiana University and the University of Iowa joined the conference to increase the membership to nine schools . In 1905 , the conference was officially incorporated as the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives . The conference is one of the nation 's oldest , predating the founding of the NCAA by a decade , and was one of the first collegiate conferences to sponsor men 's basketball . Big Ten member institutions are major research universities with large financial endowments and strong academic reputations . All institutions except full member University of Nebraska and associate member Notre Dame are members of the Association of American Universities . Large student enrollment is a hallmark of Big Ten Universities , as 12 of the 14 members feature enrollments of 30,000 or more students .
Adam Bergen ( born September 3 , 1983 ) is a former American football tight end . He was signed by the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent in 2005 . He played college football at Lehigh . Bergen has also been a member of the Dallas Cowboys , Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos .
The Lehigh Mountain Hawks football program represents Lehigh University in college football . Lehigh competes as the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision level as members of the Patriot League . The Mountain Hawks play their home games at Goodman Stadium in Bethlehem , Pennsylvania . Tom Gilmore has served as the team 's head coach since 2019 . The program ranks 40th all-time in terms of wins with 680 ( out of 1,312 games played ) for a winning percentage of 56% . Since 1945 , the modern era , Lehigh has won at a 60% pace . Their win-loss record against Lafayette since this time is also 60% . The Lehigh football program officially began in 1883 when student J. S. Robeson organized a football team to play against the University of Pennsylvania 's sophomore class team . Athlete and future journalist Richard Harding Davis was a part of that squad . J. S. Robeson is the father of football at Lehigh , Davis recalled for the Lehigh Quarterly of 1891 . It was he who induced the sophomores at the University of Pennsylvania to send their eleven up to play an eleven from the class of '86 on December 8th , 1884 , and it was he who captained the Varsity team the following year . In 1884 , Lehigh 's intercollegiate team was formed , and Lafayette team captain Theodore Welles immediately approached Robeson to challenge them , establishing a rivalry which continues to today .
The Patriot League is a collegiate athletic conference comprising private institutions of higher education and two United States service academies based in the Northeastern United States . Outside the Ivy League , it is among the most selective group of higher education institutions in NCAA Division I and has a very high student-athlete graduation rate for both the NCAA graduation success rate and the federal graduation rate . The Patriot League consists of 10 core members : American University , the United States Military Academy ( Army ) , Boston University , Bucknell University , Colgate University , College of the Holy Cross , Lafayette College , Lehigh University , Loyola University Maryland and the United States Naval Academy ( Navy ) . All 10 core members participate in the NCAA 's Division I for all Patriot League sports that they offer . Since not all schools sponsor every available NCAA sport , such as ice hockey and wrestling , most schools are affiliated with other collegiate conferences . Additionally , the Patriot League has a unique arrangement for football . Bucknell , Colgate , Holy Cross , Lafayette , and Lehigh are members of the Patriot League 's Football Championship Subdivision ( FCS ) conference . Of the five other conference members , American , Boston University and Loyola Maryland do not sponsor football while Army and Navy play in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision ; Army is an independent while Navy currently competes as an associate member of the American Athletic Conference . Four other private institutions are Patriot League members only for specific sports and are referred to as 'Patriot League associate members . ' Fordham University and Georgetown University are associate members in football , while MIT is an associate member in women 's rowing and University of Richmond is an associate member in women 's golf .
Carlyle Javar Holiday ( born October 4 , 1981 ) is a former American football wide receiver . Holiday attended Roosevelt High School in San Antonio , TX . In football , he was named as the top high school scrambling quarterback in the nation . After a heavy bid from Nebraska , he eventually committed to the University of Notre Dame . Holiday was the starting quarterback for three years at the university , leading them to the Gator Bowl in his final full season at Quarterback . During that time , he broke the school 's rushing record for 100 yard games in a season by a quarterback as well as most completions without an interception and touchdown passes in a game , the latter two which were broken by Brady Quinn . During his senior year at Notre Dame , Holiday was converted to a Wide Receiver and Punt Returner , due to the emergence of true freshman Quarterback Brady Quinn . Even though Holiday never played college baseball , he was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 44th round of the MLB amateur draft in 2002 . Carlyle made his first NFL start against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football in his second season with the Arizona Cardinals when Larry Fitzgerald was out with a sprained ankle . He was later signed out of free agency by the Green Bay Packers on December 5 , 2006 after being released from the Arizona Cardinals . He caught Brett Favre 's record breaking completion against the Detroit Lions , breaking Dan Marino 's career completions mark . Carlyle injured his knee playing against the Philadelphia Eagles in the first game of the 2007 season , ending his year while being placed on injured reserve .
A wide receiver , also referred to as wideouts or simply receivers , is an offensive position in gridiron football , and is a key player . They get their name because they are split out wide ( near the sidelines ) , farthest away from the rest of the team . Wide receivers are among the fastest players on the field . The wide receiver functions as the pass-catching specialist .
The 2004 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team represented the University of Notre Dame in the 2004 NCAA Division I-A football season . The team was coached by Tyrone Willingham and played its home games at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend , Indiana .
In American college sports , NCAA Division I independent schools are four-year institutions that do not belong to a conference for a particular sport .
Aaron Francisco ( born July 5 , 1983 ) is a former American football safety . He was signed by the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent in 2005 . He played college football at BYU . He was also a member of the Carolina Panthers , Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions .
Safety , historically known as a safetyman , is a position in gridiron football played by a member of the defense . The safeties are defensive backs who line up from ten to fifteen yards from the line of scrimmage . There are two variations of the position in a typical American formation : the free safety ( FS ) and the strong safety ( SS ) . Their duties depend on the defensive scheme . The defensive responsibilities of the safety and cornerback usually involve pass coverage towards the middle and sidelines of the field , respectively . While American ( 11-player ) formations generally use two safeties , Canadian ( 12-player ) formations generally have one safety and two defensive halfbacks , a position not used in the American game . As professional and college football have become more focused on the passing game , safeties have become more involved in covering the eligible pass receivers . Safeties are the last line of defense ; they are expected to be reliable tacklers , and many safeties rank among the hardest hitters in football . Safety positions can also be converted cornerbacks , either by design ( Byron Jones ) or as a cornerback ages ( Charles Woodson , DeAngelo Hall , Lardarius Webb , Tramon Williams ) . Historically , in the era of the one-platoon system , the safety was known as the defensive fullback ( specifically the free safety ; the strong safety would be a defensive halfback , a term still in Canadian parlance ) or goaltender .
The 2004 BYU Cougars football team represented Brigham Young University during the 2004 NCAA Division I-A football season .
The Mountain West Conference ( MW ) is one of the collegiate athletic conferences affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision ( FBS ) ( formerly I-A ) . The MW officially began operations in July 1999 . Geographically , the MW covers a broad expanse of the Western United States , with member schools located in California , Colorado , Hawaii , Idaho , Nevada , New Mexico , Utah , and Wyoming . Craig Thompson has served as Commissioner of the MW since its founding in 1999 . The charter members of the MW included the United States Air Force Academy , Brigham Young University , Colorado State University , San Diego State University , the University of New Mexico , the University of Nevada , Las Vegas , the University of Utah , and the University of Wyoming . Before forming the Mountain West Conference , seven of its eight charter members had been longtime members of the Western Athletic Conference , and half of these had been charter members of that conference from 1962 . Overall , each school that has ever been either a full or football-only member of the MW spent at least three years in the WAC before joining the Mountain West .
The 2005 Atlanta Falcons season was the franchises 40th in the National Football League ( NFL ) . It began with the team trying to defend their NFC South division title and 11-5 record in 2004 . The Falcons started 6-2 , but injuries on defense caused them to finish the second half 2-6 to finish the season 8-8 . Bright spots included the Falcons ending their Monday Night Football jinx by going 3-0 , and on Thursday , November 24 , the Falcons played on Thanksgiving Day for the first time in franchise history with a 27-7 victory over the Detroit Lions . On the next-to-last game of the regular season , the Falcons were eliminated from postseason contention with a 27-24 overtime loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . The Falcons failed to improve over their 11-5 season , therefore finishing with a .500 record and once again failed to attain back-to-back winning seasons .
Michael J. Koenen ( born July 13 , 1982 ) is a former American football punter . He was signed by the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent in 2005 . He played college football at Western Washington .
A punter ( P ) in gridiron football is a special teams player who receives the snapped ball directly from the line of scrimmage and then punts ( kicks ) the football to the opposing team so as to limit any field position advantage . This generally happens on a fourth down in American football and a third down in Canadian football . Punters may also occasionally take part in fake punts in those same situations , when they throw or run the football instead of punting .
The Western Washington Vikings program represented Western Washington University in college football at the NCAA Division II level . The Vikings were members of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference .
The Great Northwest Athletic Conference ( GNAC ) is a collegiate athletic conference which has historically operated in the northwestern United States , but also currently includes four schools in areas not usually considered part of that region - two in Alaska ( neither of which is located in Southeast Alaska , an area often considered part of the Northwest ) , one in eastern Montana ( almost never considered part of the region ) , and one in the Canadian province of British Columbia ( an area included with the Northwest U.S. in the larger Pacific Northwest region ) . It participates in the National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) 's Division II level , and is the only NCAA conference in any division with a Canadian university as a member . The conference was formed in 2001 when its original ten members split from the Pacific West Conference .
The 2005 Buffalo Bills season was their 46th in the National Football League . The team was unable to improve upon their previous seasons output of 9-7 , instead finishing 5-11 .

He also played for the Baltimore Ravens , New York Jets , Denver Broncos , New Orleans Saints , and Cleveland Browns .
The 2004 Wisconsin Badgers football team represented the University of Wisconsin-Madison during the 2004 NCAA Division I FBS football season . Led by Barry Alvarez , the Badgers completed the season with a 9-3 record , including a 6-2 mark in the Big Ten Conference , good for a third-place finish .
The 2005 Carolina Panthers season was the franchise 's 11th season in the National Football League and the 4th under head coach John Fox . It was also the team 's 9th season at Bank of America Stadium . They improved on their 7-9 record from 2004 , going 11-5 , and made it to the playoffs for the first time since 2003 . They eventually fell to the Seattle Seahawks 34-14 in the NFC Championship Game .
Lorenzo John Alexander ( born May 31 , 1983 ) is a former American football linebacker . He played college football for the University of California , and was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Carolina Panthers in 2005 . Alexander has also been a member of the Baltimore Ravens , Washington Redskins , Arizona Cardinals , Oakland Raiders , and the Buffalo Bills .
A linebacker ( LB or backer ) is a playing position in gridiron football . Linebackers are members of the defensive team , and line up approximately three to five yards ( 4 m ) behind the line of scrimmage , behind the defensive linemen , and therefore back up the line . Linebackers generally align themselves before the ball is snapped by standing upright in a two-point stance ( as opposed to the defensive linemen , who put one or two hands on the ground for a three-point stance or four-point stance before the ball is snapped ) . The goal of the linebacker is to provide either extra run defense or extra pass defense based on the particular defensive play being executed . Another key play of the linebacker position is blitzing . A blitz occurs when a linebacker acts as an extra pass rusher running into any exposed gap . When a blitz is called by the defense , it is mainly to sack or hurry the opposing offense 's quarterback . Linebackers are often regarded as the most important position in defense , due to their versatility in providing hard hits on running plays or an additional layer of pass defense , when required . Similar to the free safety position , linebackers are required to use their judgment on every snap , to determine their role during that particular play .
The 2004 California Golden Bears football team was an American football team that represented the University of California , Berkeley in the Pacific-10 Conference ( Pac-10 ) during the 2004 NCAA Division I-A football season . In their third year under head coach Jeff Tedford , the Golden Bears compiled a 10-2 record ( 7-1 against Pac-10 opponents ) , finished in second place in the Pac-10 , and outscored their opponents by a combined score of 441 to 192 . The Golden Bears were ranked No . 4 at the end of the regular season , its only loss having been No . 1 USC by a 23-17 score . In that game , quarterback Aaron Rodgers set a school record for consecutive completed passes with 26 and tied an NCAA record with 23 consecutive passes completed in one game . He set a Cal single-game record for passing completion percentage of 85.3 . Rodgers ' performance set up the Golden Bears at first and goal with 1:47 remaining and a chance for the game-winning touchdown . On the first play of USC 's goal-line stand , Rodgers threw an incomplete pass . This was followed by a second-down sack by Manuel Wright . After a timeout and Rodgers ' incomplete pass on third down , USC stopped Cal 's run play to win the game . Rodgers commented that it was frustrating that we could n't get the job done .
The Pac-12 Conference is a collegiate athletic conference that operates in the Western United States , participating in 24 sports at the NCAA Division I level . Its football teams compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision ( FBS ; formerly Division I-A ) , the higher of two tiers of NCAA Division I football competition . The conference 's 12 members are located in the states of Arizona , California , Colorado , Oregon , Utah , and Washington . They include each state 's flagship public university , four additional public universities , and two private research universities . The modern Pac-12 conference formed after the disbanding of the Pacific Coast Conference ( PCC ) , whose principal members founded the Athletic Association of Western Universities ( AAWU ) in 1959 . The conference previously went by the names Big Five , Big Six , Pacific-8 , and Pacific-10 . The Pac-12 moniker was adopted in 2011 with the addition of Colorado and Utah . Nicknamed the Conference of Champions , the Pac-12 has won more NCAA national championships in team sports than any other conference in history . The top three schools with the most NCAA team championships are members of the Pac-12 : Stanford , UCLA , and USC , respectively . Washington 's national title in women 's rowing in 2017 was the 500th NCAA championship won by a Pac-12 school . The current commissioner of the conference is Larry Scott . Scott replaced Thomas C. Hansen , who retired in July 2009 after 26 years in that position .
The 2005 season was the Chicago Bears 's 86th season in the National Football League . The team improved to an 11-5 record from a 5-11 record in 2004 , earning them their first NFC North title and the second seed in the NFC for the playoffs . The season started off with the team trying to rebound from a 5-11 season under now coach Lovie Smith . Smith , in his first year with the Bears , had been eager to lead his young team to a Super Bowl , but a preseason injury to starting quarterback Rex Grossman spelled disaster for the Bears . The 2005 Bears started the season slowly , winning only one of their first four games . Despite their poor passing game , the Bears managed to win eight consecutive games , through perseverance on defense and a solid running game . The Bears eventually clinched a playoff berth on Christmas Day against the Green Bay Packers . However , in their first playoff game in almost four years , the Carolina Panthers upset the Bears , 29-21 . This season is notable for Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher winning Defensive Player of the Year . He was the first Bear to earn the award since 1988 when Mike Singletary won .

They were coached by head coach Fitz Hill , who resigned after the end of the season to become a Visiting Scholar position at the University of Central Floridas DeVos Sports Business Management Program . The Spartans ' 70-63 win over Rice on October 2 set an NCAA record for overall points scored by both teams in regulation .
The Western Athletic Conference ( WAC ) is an American collegiate athletic conference formed on July 27 , 1962 , and affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) Division I . The WAC covers a broad expanse of the western United States , with member institutions located in Arizona , California , New Mexico , Utah , and Washington , along with the non-western states of Missouri and Illinois ( traditionally associated with the Midwest ) , as well as Texas ( traditionally associated with the Southwest ) . Due to most of the conference 's football-playing members leaving the WAC for other affiliations , the conference discontinued football as a sponsored sport after the 2012-13 season and left the NCAA 's Football Bowl Subdivision ( formerly known as Division I-A ) . The WAC thus became the first Division I conference to drop football since the Big West in 2000 . The WAC then added men 's soccer and became one of the NCAA 's eleven Division I non-football conferences .
The 2005 Cleveland Browns season was the franchise 's 57th season as a professional sports franchise and its 53rd season as a member of the National Football League .

A return specialist or kick returner is a player on the special teams unit of a gridiron football team who specializes in returning punts and kickoffs . There are few players who are exclusively return specialists ; most also play another position such as wide receiver , defensive back , or running back . The special teams counterpart of a return specialist is a kicking specialist . According to All-American Venric Mark , Returning punts is harder . You have to judge the ball more , you have to know when to fair catch and when not to . You ca n't be a superhero and try to catch everything . With kickoff returns , you catch the ball and - boom - you 're going .
The Kent State Golden Flashes football team is a varsity intercollegiate athletic team of Kent State University in Kent , Ohio .

In gridiron football , the long snapper ( or deep snapper ) is a special teams specialist whose duty is to snap the football over a longer distance , typically around 15 yards during punts , and 7-8 yards during field goals and extra point attempts . During field goal and point after touchdown attempts , the snap is received by the holder , typically 7-8 yards away . During punts , the snap is delivered to the punter from 13-15 yards away . Following a punt snap , the snapper often executes a blocking assignment and then must cover the kick by running downfield and attempting to stop the opposing team 's punt returner from advancing the ball in the opposite direction . If the punt goes uncaught , it is the snapper 's responsibility to make sure the ball does not enter the end zone or bounce backward resulting in loss of yards . The majority of snappers at the highest levels of competition are specialized , meaning that they uniquely play the position of snapper , or have limited responsibilities elsewhere . A good punt snap should hit the target -- the punter 's hands at the abdomen or waistline -- between .65 and .75 seconds and with a tight spiral for easy handling . A bad snap is an off-target snap which causes the delay or failure of a kick or forces the punter into some other potentially compromising situation .
The 2004 Maryland Terrapins football team represented the University of Maryland in 2004 NCAA Division I FBS football season .

The Atlantic Coast Conference ( ACC ) is a collegiate athletic conference located in the eastern United States . Headquartered in Greensboro , North Carolina , the conference consists of fifteen member universities , each of whom compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) 's Division I , with its football teams competing in the Football Bowl Subdivision ( FBS ) , the highest levels for athletic competition in US-based collegiate sports . The ACC sponsors competition in twenty-five sports with many of its member institutions ' athletic programs held in high regard nationally . Current members of the conference are Boston College , Clemson University , Duke University , Georgia Institute of Technology , Florida State University , North Carolina State University , Syracuse University , the University of Louisville , the University of Miami , the University of North Carolina , the University of Notre Dame , the University of Pittsburgh , the University of Virginia , Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University , and Wake Forest University . ACC teams and athletes have claimed dozens of national championships in multiple sports throughout the conference 's history . Generally , the ACC 's top athletes and teams in any particular sport in a given year are considered to be among the top collegiate competitors in the nation . Also , the conference enjoys extensive media coverage . The ACC was one of the five collegiate power conferences , which had automatic qualifying for their football champion into the Bowl Championship Series ( BCS ) . With the advent of the College Football Playoff in 2014 , the ACC is one of five conferences with a contractual tie-in to a New Year 's Six bowl game , the successors to the BCS .
