their ass! But they are who we thought they were, and we let 'em off the hook!" Following the game against the Bears, Green fired his offensive coordinator, Keith Rowen; the game's final drive with the conservative play calling being the reason behind the firing. In the first game after the Monday Night debacle, the Cardinals were dominated in a 22–9 loss to the previously winless Raiders, one of only two games Oakland won in 2006. Whisenhunt era (2007–2012) On January 1, 2007, after a 5–11 season and a 3-year record of 16–32, the Cardinals announced the firing of Green. After a brief period of speculation, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt was named the Cardinals head coach for the 2007 season. In the 1st round of the 2007 NFL Draft, the Cardinals selected offensive tackle Levi Brown from Penn State with the fifth overall pick. The Cardinals selected cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie with their first pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. The Cardinals finished 2007 with an 8–8 record, just their third non-losing record since moving to Arizona.

Arizona recovered to win five of its next six games to improve to 7–3, but lost two games in a five-day stretch of late November to the Giants and Eagles. On Dec. 7, the Cardinals clinched the NFC West Division championship with a 34–10 victory at home over the St. Louis Rams to ensure the club's first playoff berth since 1998, as well as their first division title since 1975. It assured the Cardinals of hosting at least one playoff game at home—only the second home playoff game in franchise history (they never played a home playoff game while in St. Louis despite winning two division titles). The Cardinals followed up winning the division title with two lackluster performances, losing at home 35–14 to the Minnesota Vikings, then suffering a 47–7 rout to the New England Patriots at a snowy Gillette Stadium. The Cardinals then defeated the Seattle Seahawks at home to clinch their first winning season since 1998, and thus avoided becoming the third team
