2. Calais Campbell, week 15 vs. New Orleans Saints

Speculation is that Cardinals defensive tackle Calais Campbell will not return to the Cardinals next season after spending his entire career here.  He will be a free agent this offseason.

If he is leaving, he went out in style.  He played great over the last month of the season but maybe no better performance came than it did against the New Orleans Saints.

Campbell picked up a Drew Brees fumble and took the ball 53-yards for a touchdown.  Surprisingly it was his first-career touchdown.  What a great time to get it.

For the day Campbell had two sacks with his fumble return and four tackles overall.  It was possibly the last game as a Cardinals defensive tackle in front of the home fans.  It was a day none of us will soon forget.

Campbell had five sacks and two forced fumbles including the fumble recovery against the Redskins over the last month of the season.  He is a man ready to get paid his last big professional contract.
