| 10th January, 2009 - 11:59 pm |  RealGM Staff Report - Jonathan Stewart gave his team a 7-0 lead, but the Cardinals scored 33 consecutive points to knock off the favored Panthers at home.
Kurt Warner, who earned $1 million in incentives by simply playing in the divisional game, went 21-for-32 with 220 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
Tim Hightower and Edgerrin James combined to rush for 133 yards and a touchdown on thirty-seven carries, but it was the defense that carried Arizona.
The Cardinals' defense recorded two sacks, collected a lost fumble, and intercepted Jake Delhomme five times.
Delhomme had the worst playoff performance of his career, going 17-for-34 with 205 yards, one touchdown and the aforementioned five picks.
DeAngelo Williams, who set the league on fire in the season's second half, tallied just 63 yards on twelve carries. Stewart had just 12 yards and the game's first touchdown on three touches.
Larry Fitzgerald, playing without running mate Anquan Boldin (hamstring), had a game-high eight catches for 166 yards and a touchdown.
The Cardinals will face the winner of the Eagles-Giants game in next weekend's NFC Championship Game. [READ] |
