  • Beyond the Game
    BEYOND THE GAME THE 2015 NFL SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REPORT MESSAGE FROM NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL The 2015 season was an exciting one for the National Football League. All year we celebrated Super Bowl 50, reflecting on the history and future of NFL football. Among the most gratifying strides we took was to deepen our commitment to the NFL’s platform as a force for positive change. Whether nationally, locally or individually through the volunteerism and philanthropy of owners, players, coaches and club personnel, there is a powerful NFL- wide commitment to giving back. During the season, hundreds of players spend their day off working in communities. It is a proud tradition of volunteering at local schools, shelters and hospitals. We honor the efforts of these players, including our Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award that went to Anquan Boldin of the San Francisco 49ers for his work to expand educational opportunities for underserved children. As a league, we focused our work on advancing progress in several key areas. We continue to enhance our programs to support the health and safety of athletes of all ages and communities through the NFL PLAY 60 campaign, Heads Up Football and grants to support youth and high school football programs. The NFL Foundation, a nonprofit organization representing the 32 NFL clubs, remains a critical partner in these efforts and others. This year, the foundation expanded its work with a commitment to build character education programs for boys and girls, athletes and non-athletes alike. We also embrace our leadership role in addressing social issues, including domestic violence and sexual assault.

OFFENSE: QB KURT WARNER, ARIZONA CARDINALS • It was a triumphant return to St. Louis for former Rams star KURT WARNER as he led the Arizona Cardinals to a 38-28 win at the Edward Jones Dome. Displaying the form that helped him win a pair of Most Valuable Player awards and guide the Rams to victory in Super Bowl XXXIV, Warner completed 27 of 39 attempts for 285 yards and three touchdowns, posting a 115.9 passer rating with no interceptions. Warner’s three-touchdown performance was his first since the 2001 season finale and came at an opportune time, helping Arizona snap a three-game losing streak. With the home team nursing a 17-16 fourth quarter lead, Warner connected for a nine-yard touchdown strike to rookie free agent tight end ADAM BERGEN, followed by a two-point conversion to wide receiver ANQUAN BOLDIN for a 24-17 advantage the Cardinals would not surrender.
