The (2-1) Arizona Cardinals travel to the Meadowlands to take on the (1-2) New York Jets. The Cardinals have the ball on the Jets 26-yard line trailing 56-35, with 34 seconds remaining in the game. Kurt Warner tosses a pass into the end towards a heavily covered Anquan Boldin. There’s a huge collision and Boldin is knocked unconscious.
Q required surgery to repair a sinus fracture, and he had wires inserted in his lower jaw to correct his bite. And of course, he was diagnosed with a concussion. Two weeks later Boldin was back on the field, catching 9 passes for 63 yards and 2 TD’s.
