The next Cardinals drive ended when Quintin Mikell picked off Warner. While the ensuing possession
didn’t produce any points, the Eagles went up 21-0 midway thru the 2nd quarter on a 2-yard
McNabb-Westbrook pass. The Cardinals scored late in the half on a 1-yard Warner TD pass to
Larry Fitzgerald but a David Akers field goal in the closing seconds made it 24-7 at halftime.
Westbrook opened the 2nd half scoring with a 9-yard TD run. A muffed Eagles punt led to
an Arizona TD – a 6-yard pass from Warner to Steve Breaston - that made it 34-13 but the Eagles
again answered with an Akers FG.
Early in the 4th, the Cardinals cut the Eagles lead to 14 with a 7-yard Warner-Fitzgerald connection and
got the ball right back with 12:46 to play after an Eagles 3-and-out.
However, the comeback hopes were dealt a severe blow when Anquan Boldin fumbled after a reception and the
Eagles took over at the Arizona 19. Five plays later, McNabb hit DeSean Jackson with a 5-yard scoring pass
that made it 41-20 and an 8-yard McNabb TD pass to Jason Avant 5 minutes later provided the game’s final points.

First Time Top Seeds Eliminated in NFL Divisional Round
Titans & Giants Lose at Home in NFL Divisional Playoff Round
This weekend's losses by the Titans (Ravens 13-10) and Giants (Eagles 23-11) marks the first time
that both conference top-seeds have been eliminated in the divisional round playoffs. The elimination of
the Titans and Giants also marks the third time that no top conference seed will advance to the Super Bowl (1992 &
1997).
Pass-Happy Cards Win with Defense & Running Game
Arizona Cardinals 30, Atlanta Falcons 24
The Cardinals defense was sensational, limiting Michael Turner to 42 rushing yards,
harassing Matt Ryan and scoring points on its own with a TD and safety. The offense was also strong as Edgerrin James
led a revitalized Cardinals ground game while Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald made big plays in the passing game.
On Wild Card Weekend Everybody Starts on Equal Ground
In one of the most unpredictable and story-filled NFL regular seasons in memory, the road to Tampa Bay, Florida and Super
Bowl XLIII on February 1 begins this Saturday and Sunday with the NFL 2008 Playoffs and Wild Card Weekend. How each of
the NFL Playoff teams got here doesn't matter. Nor does it matter who got in first or who got in last. All that matters
is that they're here and ready to go.
