Kolb was still not ready to start in week 12 when the team traveled to St. Louis to again face the St. Louis Rams. Skelton gave a mediocre performance, throwing for just 112 yards with 2 interceptions. But RB Chris "Beanie" Wells made up for the weak passing game by running for a career-high 228 yards. It was during this game that CB Patrick Peterson returned another punt for TD, for a total of 4 on the season to that point, tying the NFL record. The Cardinals would win 23–20.
