Arizona Cardinals' James Bettcher is both a hero and a coach

TEMPE, Ariz. -- When Tauren Meadows Jr. sits down inside University of Phoenix Stadium for Thursday's Seattle Seahawks-Arizona Cardinals game (8:25 p.m. ET, NBC), he'll be a young man torn.

The 12-year-old is like any young sports fan: He likes what's cool and the teams that win. For the past few years, that favorite team has been the Seahawks. But, tonight, he'll have a rooting interest in both clubs who will be on the field.

On Feb. 17, Cardinals defensive coordinator James Bettcher and his wife, Erica, helped save Tauren after the boy was hit by a car while riding his bike on his way to school.
