The Arizona Cardinals are the NFC champions for the first time in franchise history after beating the Philadelphia Eagles 32-25.

“I want to say Arizona Cardinals and Super Bowl in the same sentence,” Quarterback Kurt Warner said. “The Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl. How about it?”

The Cardinals looked like they were going to destroy the Eagles after leading 24-6 at the half, but Arizona did absolutely nothing in the 3rd quarter and early in the 4th the Eagles had a 1 point lead.

Don’t believe me? Check out this catch.

Yeah, he’s pretty good.

However, with their backs up against a wall in the 4th, Kurt Warner worked his magic and marched his team down for the game winning score with 2:53 left on the clock.

“The demeanor in the huddle didn’t change at all,” WR Larry Fitzgerald said. “The guys were focused and ready to go. You could see the look in guys’ eyes. Nobody wanted to be the guy who let this team down. Everybody did their job when we needed them to do it.”

Fitzgerald was simply unstoppable in the first half; he finished the game with 152 yards and 3 touchdowns.
