Larry Fitzgerald may have played his last home game for the Cardinals. Should that be the case, he wanted to bid a proper farewell to someone who has covered him throughout his 15-year career in Arizona.

During his Sunday media address following the team's 31-9 loss to the Rams, the Cardinals wide receiver surprised longtime AP writer Robert Baum with a special early Christmas gift.

Baum, whose reporting career spans four decades, later expressed his gratitude for Fitzgerald and the organization on Twitter.

Despite a disappointing outcome, Fitzgerald put on a performance to remember in Arizona's final home game of the season, throwing his first career touchdown pass with a perfect completion to running back David Johnson.
