East Rutherford, N.J. ? Wide receiver Anquan Boldin gave the Arizona Cardinals quite a scare Sunday, as he was carted off the field after being hit helmet-to-helmet trying to make a touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter of a lopsided loss to the New York Jets.

Boldin, who had 10 catches and a touchdown Sunday, was first hit in the back, then took a shot to his helmet from Eric Smith trying to catch a pass from Kurt Warner with 27 seconds remaining in the Cardinals’ 56-35 loss to the Jets.

Both Boldin and Smith fell to the turf, and Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald immediately waved to the sideline for help.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt said Boldin was alert and was moving his extremities. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York for what Whisenhunt said were precautionary reasons.
