GLENDALE, Arizona (Ticker) -- Kurt Warner threw three touchdown
passes to Anquan Boldin on Sunday as the Arizona Cardinals
cruised to a 31-10 rout of the Miami Dolphins.

Warner completed 19-of-25 passes for 361 yards and Boldin hauled
in six catches for 140 yards. Larry Fitzgerald added six
receptions for 153 yards for the Cardinals (2-0), who held the
Dolphins to 236 yards from scrimmage.

"I knew it was going to be a good day. I had that feeling
coming out," Warner said. "I liked our plan, I liked how we
attacked them, I like the fact that we had great matchups
against them. Once we got going, you felt like we couldn't be
stopped."

Arizona jumped out to an early lead as Warner connected with
Boldin on a 79-yard touchdown pass just 3:40 into the game.
Warner found Boldin again for a 3-yard score with 5:40 remaining
in the first quarter to give the Cardinals a 14-0 advantage.

"You got to come in and win games like this convincingly,"
Boldin said. "These are the games we are suppose to win and it
is not a crime to go in and put teams out of the game right
away.

"We got that quick start. We saw on film that we could take
advantage of some things and spread the field out. The first
play was one of the things we talked about specifically all week
and it played out the way we thought it would."

The Warner-Boldin combination struck again with 1:27 left in the
third period, hooking up on an 8-yard TD to extend Arizona's
advantage to 31-3.

After taking a 17-0 lead into the break, the Cardinals marched
right down the field to open the second half. Tim Hightower
plunged in from 1 yard out to cap a 10-play, 71-yard drive.

The Dolphins (0-2), who were ineffective on offense for much of
the contest, got on the scoreboard midway through the third
quarter on Dan Carpenter's 32-yard field goal.

Ronnie Brown had a 1-yard rushing score on a fourth down late in
the game. Rookie Chad Henne, who passed for 67 yards in place
of starter Chad Pennington, orchestrated the drive.

Pennington finished with 112 passing yards for Miami, which
converted just 3-of-12 chances on third down.

"You could look at a number of plays that you could call
back-breakers. We didn't help ourselves today in any facet of
the game," Pennington said. "It was a loose game. A game where
they were ahead the whole game which changes both mind-sets for
the offense and defense."

The Dolphins' running game had little success against a swarming
Cardinals defense. Brown rushed for 25 yards and Ricky Williams
added 28.

"After two games, when you are getting beat the way we're
getting beat, the running game is not a concern. I'm not
worried about how we run the ball when we are down 17 to nothing
right away," Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said. "Nobody in this
locker room is happy but it's not going to be like this all the
time. You are always going to have some adversity and there is
no question about it, we've hit some adversity right now."

Warner completed the game with a perfect passer rating of 158.3.
It was his third perfect rating of his career, which ties Peyton
Manning for the most in NFL history.

His first two perfect ratings were with St. Louis. He becomes
the first Cardinals quarterback to accomplish the feat since Jim
Hart in 1975.

"When you have those days when everything is clicking and you
feel like you can't be stopped, it brings back a lot of memories
of those great years we had in St. Louis," Warner said. "I
still think it was the greatest offense that I have seen ever in
the NFL.

"We have had a few of those games over the last two years and it
is exciting to think that is what our potential is."

Edgerrin James had 55 yards on 18 carries for Arizona, which
defeated Miami for just the second time in 10 all-time meetings.

"We did what we were suppose to do today, win at home and get to
2-0," Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "We got up early on
this team and we finished this team off. The focus was good the
whole game."
